We’re giving away 5 signed copies of Elizabeth Scott’s Bloom.
In a style reminiscent of the work of Sarah Dessen and Deb Caletti, Scott tells the story of Lauren, a not-so-popular high school junior who is dating the secretly celibate most popular boy in school. Without warning, Evan, the loner son of her distant father’s former live-in girlfriend, returns to town and stirs up confusing emotions for Lauren, who once believed that a popular boyfriend was all she needed to secure happiness… School Library Journal
Bloom is a beautiful, powerful love story, a wonderful coming-of-age story, and most of all just an amazing novel told in Lauren’s fresh, funny, and distinctive voice. — TeensReadToo.com

Veronica Mars is now “Officially Dead” as per TV Guide
Strangely, I came to this news just after I handed a set of first season Veronica Mars DVDs to a co-worker, insisting that he go home and start watching them.
It’s not a complete surprise, but I was holding out hope that The CW would give a last-minute reprise to Veronica Mars. Especially with the end of Gilmore Girls, it’s sad that we won’t have smart, sassy and occasionally bitchy women on tv.
I will miss Veronica, Mac, Keith and the gang. I will miss Rob Thomas’ writing. I will miss being so utterly engaged in a show that as soon as it’s over, I ache for the week to pass so that I can get more.
Bah.

For those who don’t know, we PopGurls all met through the now-defunct Buffy the Vampire Slayer posting board, The Bronze. One of our fellow Bronzers, Stephanie Tuszynski, did a fab documentary about the life, death and afterlife of The Bronze. And more than that, IRL looks at what happens when online friendships move from the Internet into “real life.” IRL premieres next week in Los Angeles.
Why next week in particular? Because Saturday, March 10th, 2007 is the 10-year anniversary of Buffy’s first episode! (God, I feel old.) The screening will be held at Raleigh Studios in Los Angeles (655 N. Van Ness Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90038) at 2pm PST. There will be a Q&A session after the screening. The screening is free and open to the public, but seating is limited. To RSVP, e-mail IRLscreenings@gmail.com and include the letters “LA” in the subject line.
It’s very exciting! And you can see Amanda and Amy (who looks particularly dorky) on-screen! Before the screening, PopGurl writer Allyson Beatrice will give a reading from her forthcoming book about life in the online “Buffy” fandom, Will The Vampire People Please Leave The Lobby?
