Morning, all!
Just back from an early jaunt to Baltimore — a dry run for SB’s bar exam next week. Not so bad — pray for the same traffic conditions to continue.
We spent the drive talking about all our upcoming plans for August. With so much on our plate, it’s tough to decide which is the most exciting (or the most stressful). I will hopefully be able to talk more about that next week, but I don’t want to jinx it yet.
I’ve seen a few more outtakes from the Rampant photo shoot which have me super excited. I really feel like the photographer and model captured the essence of Astrid. There’s one shot in particular where she looks so fierce and haunted and driven and smart all at once. I can’t stop staring at it! Especially while I’m doing copyedits. I also find I’m listening a lot to my Rampant Playlist, especially “Fix You” as performed by the Cello group, Low Strung. It’s incredible. I was never a fan of Coldplay, and I still don’t love their version, but I can’t get enough of this cover — it echoes so perfectly the emotions in the book: love and longing, duty and determination, fear and loss and triumph. I also just love cello music in general.
If you’d like to listen to the song click here — they’ve got it on their MySpace playlist. (You can buy it on iTunes, too.)
In Secret Society Girl news, we finally settled on a title for the fourth book, so I’ll be announcing that soon.
Busy busy…

I know, I know….
Anyway, I know you love NPH–here his is as the shoe fairy on Sesame Street, if you haven’t already seen it.

I love cello music, especially contemporary stuff — have you ever heard of Apocalyptica? Here’s a youtube of them playing “One” by Metallica. I don’t know if you know the song, but it’s so different when done by cellos! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JjQGt7WjK0
There’s also Rasputina, a girl cellist group. http://www.myspace.com/rasputina
