You know, I’ve always been somewhat jealous of the New York life Marianne Mancusi leads. If you read her blog (or her Rebels of Romance blog, which she co-authors with Liz Maverick) you’ll see she’s constantly out on the town, having drinks or going to parties. Or, if she’s working her day job, rubbing elbows with the rich and famous. And once again, she’s showing the rest of us how it’s done.

On Tuesday, December 2nd at NYC hotspot Butter (http://www.butterrestaurant.com/), authors Mari Mancusi (marimancusi.com) and Melissa Walker (melissacwalker.com) celebrated the release of their latest Young Adult novels.
In honor of Mancusi’s Gamer Girl, each table had a game for guests to play (Hungry Hippos and Operation got the most action). And the fashion world came out in force for the third book in Walker’s Violet series about a young model, Violet in Private.
“It was the perfect way to celebrate both our books and young adult fiction in general,” says Mancusi. “Elegant, with a hint of whimsy.”
Guests sipped Butter’s signature martinis and sampled pastry chef Zac Young’s high-quality chocolates. Nationally syndicated lifestyle show Better TV was on hand, filming the event for an upcoming segment on Mancusi and Walker and their books.
In attendance were media outlets Vogue, Teen Vogue, ELLE, InStyle, Daily Candy, AOL, Parents TV and CNN. Leading authors in both Young Adult and adult fiction also celebrated with Mancusi and Walker. At the party were Scott Westerfeld, Justine Larbalestier, Maureen Johnson, Bennett Madison, Deborah Gregory, Diana Peterfreund, Michael Northrop, Liz Maverick and Anisha Lakhani.
I’m just sorry I missed it. If you haven’t already, be sure to pick up Gamer Girl

SQUEE!!!!!
I love Meg Cabot. I’m sorry to say I haven’t read many of her books (only 5, I think) but I seriously need to rectify that…soon. Anyway, I love her writing style, but as a person? Love her. We’re totally like BFF’s. Ok, that’s a lie, I haven’t ever met her – online or otherwise. But she does these videos..and I feel like I know her. And that feeling? It’s a good one. Like..I’d like to know her. We could totally be BFF’s. If she’d ever return my calls or emails that is. Not that I’ve actually called or emailed her, but if I did call or email her, she’d have to return said call or email for us to become BFF’s, right? Well, you get what I mean.
Anyway, she’s got a new book coming out, one I think looks great, and in celebration, she’s giving us a few tips about…how to care for our necks. I mean, really, how can you not want to be BFF’s with her?
