Sunday’s in Bed is hosted by Kate at Midnight Book Girl to share with everyone what you’re reading in bed Sunday morning before getting to the days activities.
I’m hoping to quickly get through all the things I need to do so that I can spend some more time with Legend. So far I’m enjoying it, but it’s another book with a 15 year old main character that I am pretending is 17 because there is just no way she is 15.
Yesterday Kate (Midnight Book Girl) and I went to a signing for Maureen Johnson and Stephanie Perkins (which was totally awesome!) and I thought I would share this little tidbit about Isla and the Happily Ever After.
Stephanie Perkins said that Isla is pronounced I-la (like island without the nd).
Crap I never e-mailed you back. I’m so sorry. Also… Stephanie Perkins was there??????? :(:(:( I can’t wait for Isla and I’m glad you had fun. June didn’t strike me as older than 15, just super smart. I kind of love young geniuses. But I hope you like it anyway! I really enjoyed it!
That is the only Isla tidbit you are offering?? Mean!!!!
And LOL: “another book with a 15 year old main character that I am pretending is 17 because there is just no way she is 15.” Yeah, I have been meaning to do a post on this. All the characters in YA seem way older than their chronological age.
Sorry! She didn’t talk much about the book except for that.
Loved Legend! I have to start reading Stephanie Perkins! I’m definitely getting to Anna and Lola before Isla releases!
I’m really enjoying it so far!
Oh man – I was mispronouncing “Isla” all the time! And loved Legend, hope you’re enjoying it too.

So was I! I think a lot of people are, that’s why I wanted to share :)
Hmm, probably not my kind of read though never say never.
It’s ok! Not every book is made for every person.
Meeting Stephanie would be awesome. You’re lucky! I totally thought it was pronounced exactly like it looked, silly me.
You’re not alone in pronouncing Isla. Perkins said pretty much everyone is pronouncing it wrong, that’s why she explained. Her and Maureen Johnson were so funny!
