Spring Break: Park City, Utah!

We are continuing our theme week of presenting mega-cool locations for spring breaks with a trek up to the mountains of Utah to get a first-hand look at what millions and millions of people saw on their TV screens in 2002:


Park City not only has three enormous ski areas with challenges for every level of skier (known as The Greatest Snow on Earth), but enough city-like attractions to please even the most discerning urban dwellers!


Main Street is reminiscent of Park City’s past life as an historic mining town, and is filled with a variety of unique shops, restaurants, bars and art galleries.


In late January, you can mix with Hollywood insiders and other film buffs for the Sundance Film Festival. Here are two attendees from this year’s festival, Michelle Trachtenberg and Seth Green:


I have been lucky enough to vacation at Park City several times, and have definitely put in hours at the expansive outlet mall and movie theater with the nice, stadium seating. Plus, there’s an adorable bookstore on Main Street called Dolly’s Bookstore, which not only has a homey atmosphere and two resident cats, but a very impressive young adult book section.


Yes, Park City is a definite crowd-pleaser. As is Stephanie Hale’s Aspen Brook series, whose latest book, Spring Break-Up, released just this week. Check it out!

Spring Break: New York City!

First off...huge congrats to our lovely Stephanie Hale for the release of her book, SPRING BREAKUP! You know you want to read it and find out what's going on with Aspen!



I remember how awesome spring break was when I was in school. The planning. The anticipating. The day the trip finally arrived!

One the most memorable trips for me was a sophomore year trip with my church choir on the train from Atlanta all the way up to Stowe, Vermont, where we skiied (okay, a couple times down the bunny hill doesn't really qualify as skiing, but still...) and enjoyed the mountains and a cool lodge. We had a stop in Washington, DC, and Baltimore, but, by far, the highlight of the trip was staying in New York City.

Wow!!

I think everyone needs to go to New York City once in their life. And don't just be shy about it. Don't be a wallflower or scared to go out and do things. Attack the city with wide spread arms. Absorb everything it has to offer! That's what we did back then.

We did a tour around the city on a bus that took us through Chinatown and Little Italy and all over the place, starting at Rockafeller Plaza where we watched this video about the city.







A visit to New York City wouldn't be complete without the forever line wait to get to the top of the Empire State Building...with views to die for!



And, although, when I visited NYC, Times Square was a bit of a rough part of town, it's now a neon adult Disney that never sleeps.



It's also a must to see the Statue of Liberty. We went right after she had been refurbished and we were so proud that our school money we collected helped restore her for many years to come.



Aside from all of the touristy things the city has to offer, there's so much culture to absorb. The city is rich with museums, galleries, and diplays ranging from art history to ancient artifacts. I highly recommend visiting the Museum of Natural History and the Museum of Modern Art. You could spend a day at each.





And, of course, New York City is all about the food! If you go hungry in this city, it's your own fault! There's everything...from every culture, every walk of life, from the $1.50 sandwich that will change your life to the expensive dining experience that you'll always remember.

My favorite cheap eat...the many souvlaki stands. Mmmm...my mouth waters just thinking about it...



When my choir went, we sat at Benihaba and were entertained by our chef. Back then, it was the only restaurant...now you can see them everywhere...but it was a time!



And of course...there's nothing wrong with simply strolling through Central Park.



Hope you've enjoyed this tour of one of the most awesome cities on the planet - New York City! If you get to go, you'll have the time of your life!

Congrats again to Stephanie!!! So proud of you, hon!!!

Hugs,
Marley = )

Spring Break: South Beach!

Old Business: Two weeks later I've given up on Jessica. The new winner of my Valentine's contest is... Paradox. Send me your mailing info, darling.

Confession Time: I've never ever been to South Beach for spring break. In fact, I've only been once--but I'm dying to go back--and that once was more than enough to make me heart all of South Florida big time. I could write an entire treatise on my trip (like how the beach in Naples inspired a major scene in my upcoming mermaid book) but for the purposes of this post I'll just focus on my few days in South Beach. Aka the hottest spot in Miami. And maybe the world.

The reason I wanted to visit South Beach in the first place was because of this:


Some of you know that I have a masters degree in historic preservation (aka saving old buildings) and Art Deco is one of my favorite architectural styles ever. I can't tell you how many papers I wrote about the unique brand of South Beach Art Deco, but with every new thing I learned I found more to love about the "Streamline Moderne" buildings. Here are a couple more examples.



I could spend years just ... absorbing these structures. Of course, architecture is not the only attraction in South Beach. There's also the beach. I mean THE BEACH.

Now, I'm a water girl. I grew up as a swimmer, spent formative years in southern California, and love hanging at or on any major body of water. But I was completely unprepared for the utter beauty of the Miami beaches.


And it's not just about the boys, although they're there, too!


It's also about the candy-colored lifeguard stations, the super-plush loungers, and the weirdo guys in umbrella hats.

And before you go thinking, "Oh great. Architecture and beaches. Big whoop!" let me tell you the real attraction for most of the billions of people that visit South Beach annually. The night life!

Now, I didn't go to any crazy nightclubs or all-night parties (I was only there for two days ... alone) but you can kind of get the feeling for the kind of energy that brings South Beach to life at night just from these pictures.

This was the hotel I stayed at. One block from the beach with clean rooms and an elevator that almost never worked, but I would totally stay there again in a heartbeat.


And this was the street in front of my hotel. With an awesome outdoor bar/restaurant, tiny palm trees swaying in the ever-present breeze, and the staple of South Beach nights: neon!


So, what do you think? Would you visit South Beach? (If you do, I highly recommend the She-Crab Chowder at Cafe Med. It is literally the best soup I've ever eaten. Which reminds me, I totally forgot to mention food in South Beach....) Which part--architecture, beaches, nightlife, food--would be the big draw for you.

Hugs,
TLC

GODDESS BOOT CAMP (coming June 2009)

Reminder: The purpose of this Spring Break week is to celebrate the release of Spring Breakup, Steph's third book in the Aspen Brooks series. Come on, you know you want to find out what happens next!

BBG's Spring Break Party!

The Winners of the autographed copies of Spring Breakup are: THAO & ERIKA LYNN

Happy Monday, bees! The BBG's are mixing things up a bit this week due to the release of my third book, SPRING BREAKUP. Aspen and the gang are in Las Vegas for spring break when a beauty contestant goes missing and Aspen has to save the day, as usual! Las Vegas was the LAST place that Aspen wanted to spend her spring break but when Rand begged her to visit the Hoover Dam, she just couldn't resist. Unlike Aspen, I LOVE Las Vegas. I have to admit that I haven't been there in about six years but my hubby and I used to go at least once a year. We aren't big gamblers so we would mostly shop, go to shows, eat and people watch. I'm going to share some of my favorite Vegas locations with you, but first, here is a teaser of my new book available tomorrow.

RELATIONSHIPS ARE A GAMBLE
After some killer midterms, all I want during my spring break is a
little R&R-that is my boyfriend, Rand, and some rays. But Rand,
adorable geek that he is, begs me to go to Las Vegas with him to
visit the Hoover Dam with Angel and Lucas. I guess if I can't feel
sand between my perfectly pedicured toes, I could settle for shopping
on the Strip.
EVEN IF YOU'RE TOO YOUNG TO PLACE A BET
But my losing streak starts when my luggage goes MIA. Who loses a
purple suitcase? Then I get food poisoning from an all-you-can-eat
seafood buffet, and Angel breaks up with Lucas. Poor timing
considering our hotel is hosting the Miss Teen Queen Pageant-with
surgically enhanced beauty contestants everywhere you turn. When one
in particular, our very own Miss Illinois, decides to go AWOL, it's
up to me to represent my home state and find out what's really going
on. With my killer looks, and my killer instinct, I need to put down
the suntan lotion and get to the bottom of this-before my best friend
goes all drama queen on me.

Sounds fun, right? This book was just too fun to write. I loved being able to drop Aspen in Vegas and combine that with a beauty pageant. Now, slather on some sunscreen, grab a frothy drink and sit back while I take you to some of my favorite sights in Las Vegas.

People who really know me can attest to my Coke addiction. So the giant glass Coke bottle on the side of the Coca-Cola museum beckons me like the Gotham City bat signal beckons Batman. They serve ice-cold bottles of Coca-Cola that cans and fountain drinks just can't come close to competing with (can I get an Amen, Chuck?)
You can watch people climb the giant rock wall while enjoying your frosty libation or you can visit the M&M museum where you can get practically any color M&M you could possibly want.

From here we usually wander over to the MGM to get a peek at the lions. Speaking of wildlife, one year we were lucky enough to see the Siegfried & Roy show. We liked it but I'm really glad we weren't there the night that tiger went berserk. I guess Roy must be doing better considering he performed for charity with Montecore, the 380 lb. Bengal tiger who attacked him. You can watch the performance on ABC this Friday night. Our favorite shows were Danny Gans (who doesn't perform anymore but is seriously amazing!) and David Copperfield. I always kind of thought DC was a geek but he had women volunteering by the dozens to let him change what panties they were wearing. Magically, of course. It was crazy.

I think the best thing about Las Vegas is all the free stuff you can find to do. Of course I love the Bellagio fountains, the Mirage volcano (which got an overhaul last fall) but my favorite place to people watch is on some steps right by the Paris fountain. You can see some seriously interesting people walk by. I love this fountain so much that I had Aspen and Rand sharing a kiss by it.

When the soles on your shoes start melting from the brutal Vegas heat, the best place to chill out is the Mirage pool. I love standing back under the water fall. I plan to be extremely rich someday and have my own Hugh Hefner-like grotto.

After all this people watching and swimming I'm usually starving. My favorite place to eat is Kokomo's at the Mirage. Everything here is ala carte so take your platinum card. The food is divine and the tropical atmosphere can't be beat. In SPRING BREAKUP, Aspen and Rand enjoy a romantic dinner at a restaurant called Amazon which is suspiciously similar to Kokomo's.

I could talk about Vegas all day so I guess I better wrap it up. I hope that you enjoyed your first destination of spring break week. I'll be giving away two copies of Spring Breakup to random commenters. Tell me a Las Vegas destination that Aspen and her friends would enjoy! And if you don't win, you can still buy Spring Breakup starting tomorrow!

We haven't talked about boys for a while....

so I thought I'd show you some guys who I think are just adorable!! My first little hottie is on PRIVILEDGED. I really love this show. David Franco plays Zach, Rose's boyfriend. While Googling for a pic of him I found out that he is James Francos little brother so no wonder he's a little hottie. David's character Zach is kind of shy and geeky and he plays the part perfectly. I hope he is on a lot next season.

My favorite TV show is Worst Week. This sitcom features Kyle Bornheimer as the adorable, bumbling Sam Briggs. He is such a wonderful physical actor. I always laugh so hard watching his antics very week. If you haven't watched this yet you really should. It helps that Kyle is just totally adorable.

Last, but definitely not least, is David Cubitt. He plays Detective Lee Scanlon. First off, I have a weakness for officers of the law. But this guy is just SOOOOO delish. He has this husky voice and just radiates hotness. He is kind of rough around the edges which just makes him that more appealing.

Who is your favorite TV hottie?

Tera's Copying Tina

[Jessica, oh Oliver Wood-loving Jessica... you won my Valentine's giveaway but you haven't emailed me your mailing info yet... please do so or I will pick another winner]

Tina's teaser post yesterday was brilliant. (Plus, it's one a.m. and I'd like to get a bath and sleep for a little while tonight.) So I'm going to copy her meme.

According to Tina:

You open up whatever book is closest to a random page (and for purposes of the Buzz Girls Blog, let’s go with the closest YA or YA-friendly book) and select two lines. With the provision that the lines are simply teasers, not spoilers (in other words, they do not give the storyline away), you then type those two lines, along with the title and author’s name.

I've chosen Feeling Sorry For Celia by Jaclyn Moriarty (because this is the book I am currently reading and because I have a previously mentioned obsessive admiration for this author):



So anyway, I hope it's not very important if the holes in the circus tents don't get sewn up properly. I mean, I hope it doesn't mean the lions will escape or anything.

How was that for a teaser?

This is actually Jaclyn Moriarty's first book and I'm only just now allowing myself to read it. (I've had it for months.) And I still haven't let myself read her latest. I think it's for the same reason I haven't allowed myself to watch the two seasons of Angel that I bought on dvd. Because then it will be over! Then there will be only tears and much waiting.

Okay, anyone who wants to continue the meme tradition, please do so.

Hugs,
TLC

Tina’s SUCH a tease!

Okay, for a little fun today, I thought we could play with that “book teaser meme” that’s going around.

You open up whatever book is closest to a random page (and for purposes of the Buzz Girls Blog, let’s go with the closest YA or YA-friendly book) and select two lines. With the provision that the lines are simply teasers, not spoilers (in other words, they do not give the storyline away), you then type those two lines, along with the title and author’s name.

Here’s mine from Miss Match by Wendy Toliver:


I muscle my way up the steps and “excuse me, pardon me, ouch!” my way to her side. “Why do you always have to sit in the nosebleed section?” I ask, slightly out of breath.

Who else is a tease?

The Superbowl of Movies!

Just a quick post, my friends, because today is OSCAR day!

Yay! If you love movies as much as I do, you'll be settling in to watch the big show shortly.

I expect that my Heath Ledger will win his posthumous Oscar for The Dark Night -- but the other categories all seem like wildcards this year.

Will you be watching? Did you watch? Who do you think was robbed and who looked fabulous on the red carpet. Let me know in the comments section!

Never Cry Werewolf ~ HarperTeen Sept. 2009

The Clearing ~ Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Spring 2010

P.S. -- I just turned in The Clearing to my HMH editor yesterday and I am sooooo excited about this book. I can't wait for everyone to read my most romantic and touching story ever. (IMHO, of course.) :) I think you're going to fall in love with my WWII guy, Henry.

What a Wonderful World!

Lately, my weekends have been ridiculously hectic--and I can't imagine I'm alone in that. So what better time to stop, for about two minutes, to "smell the roses?" Or to be more specific, to remind ourselves about some of the wonderful things in our world.

This video starts out a little slow, but give it 45 seconds before quitting...and if you make it all the way through (which I sure hope you do), leave us a comment and tell us what you think!

Awesome new YA book!!!

I have to brag.

I'm not a mother, but I'm a mother hen. And when a good friend has an amazing accomplishment, I have to gush just like she's a kid of mine.

My friend and critique parter, Wendy Toliver, has just debuted her new YA romantic comedy entitled MISS MATCH and it's just the most adorable book. I had the priviledge of reading this book in the early stages...before it was even bought. And let me tell you...what a fun, satisfying, heartwarming read this is.



Sasha Finnegan has always had a knack for setting people up, and at sixteen, she's turned her talent into an online business, molding high school crushes into true love. But Sasha finds her toughest match yet when hottie Derek Urban asks her to set him up with Sasha's gorgeous sister, Maddie. It's not that Derek isn't a good catch. In fact, after spending so much time with him, Sasha can't help but think he's perfect -- for her, that is. Can Sasha push her feelings aside for the sake of her business? Or has this miss finally found her match?

To celebrate Wendy's new release, I'm going to give away a copy of the book to our loyal Books, Boys, Buzz readers. Just leave a comment in the stream telling us about any matchmaking you or a friend has done in your life. Winner will be announced next Wednesday.

Congrats to Wendy!! Love ya, hon!!

Today, I Am A Slacker

I wasn't going to post at all. I was just going to pretend that I wanted to keep the Valentine's contest winners up front longer... but guilt got the best of me.

So, instead of totally slacking, I'm going to point out the we Bees have just upgraded to the new Blogger template (yeah, I know it's not really new anymore). That means we can have our follow widget out there on the right (scroll down a bit, you'll see it) so that anyone who wants to can just click to follow us!

Also, I changed out our covers from a Flickr widget to Library Thing which is so much cooler and let's you go buy the book on Amazon just by clicking the cover! How cool is that? (You'll note that some of our covers--like Goddess Boot Camp, Never Cry Werewolf, and Ghost Huntress #2--aren't showing up. That's because they don't have covers on Library Thing yet. But they'll be there soon!)

I hope you enjoy our upgraded blog. (Now click FOLLOW! You know you want to!)

Love, Luck, Fortunes -- & GIVEAWAY!

First of all --

Happy Valentine's Weekend!

I hope you had a great V-day. Mine was really fun... and I got flowers from my valentine. They were so pretty, I had to post the picture so you could enjoy them too. And, not having received roses on valentines in over a decade, I can tell you they were a wonderful surprise.

Also, my valentine and I went to dim sum with my friends. Have you been recently? Oh my gosh -- so much food. And though it's delish, it's not the best for you. So it is a rare and wonderful treat.

And at the end of dim sum -- what else? The fortune cookies...

This time, my fortune read, "You will hear pleasant news soon." Uh... thanks? What the heck is pleasant news, anyway? I guess it was better than some fortunes I've received, but it was kind of anticlimactic -- especially when my sister's said, "Your lover will never leave you." No fair!! Who writes these things?


So, I actually save my fortunes. Here is a (blurry, I know) picture of the latest collection on my fridge's door.

Let's check for accuracy:

"You will have great fortune and luck." (Hmm... jury's still out on that one.)

"Your love life will change for the better." (Ok, this seems to be true... but I don't want to jinx anything.)

"Your financial situation will soon be improving." (Is the check in the mail? I'm not so sure.)

"You will receive an unexpected gift." (YES! The roses!! Although, wait -- this fortune is from a few months ago.)

"You will hear pleasant news soon." (Crossing my fingers that this is from my super agent about the draft of the MS I just turned in...)

Anyway -- in the spirit of the fickle fortunes of chinese food and love -- here is the final giveaway of Valentine's Week on Books, Boys, Buzz!

To enter, please comment about a fortune you received and if it came true. Extra brownie points if it's about LOVE! Extra double brownie points if it's funny.

One lucky winner will receive the prizes shown -- a copy of the YA anthology LOVE IS HELL (starring Scott Westerfeld!) and a box of delicious Emily's Love fortune cookies.

You have until Monday at 10 AM PST to comment here and enter to win! The winner will be announced later that day here on the Buzz Blog. Tell you friends to stop by and enter -- both weekend giveaways don't end until tomorrow!!

Good luck and xoxo!

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone! What would Valentine's Day be without a good romantic comedy? I'm a total sucker for a cute movie with a predictably happy ending. That's why I'm giving away a DVD of Fool's Gold. I think that we can all agree that Matthew McConaughey is the king of rom com's. Plus, he's beyond sexy! Fool's Gold is probably my favorite movie of his as I'm also a sucker for anything involving treasure.


Okay, so we all agree that Matt is seriously sexy (if you do not feel this way, please have your eyes checked immediately!) But I have to admit I'm a sucker for the not-so-obvious sexy things that guys do. Like unloading the dishwasher. Playing with a baby. Painting your toenails. In my third book, SPRING BREAKUP (which comes out MARCH 3!!!), Aspen's boyfriend, Rand, is always thinking of something sweet to do for her which translates to sexy in my book. I'm also giving away an ARC of Spring Breakup today. For those of you who don't know what an ARC is. It is just a basic copy of the book, that can still contain some small errors. It doesn't have a fancy glossy cover but if you win it, you get to know what happens before anyone else can buy their copy at the bookstore. So ARC's are kind of cool.

If you want to have a chance to win an ARC of Spring Breakup and a DVD of Fool's Gold, leave me a comment about what makes a guy sexy to you (keep it clean!).

If you want some more Matthew, here's a clip of his new movie, The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past coming out in May. It looks super cute. Enjoy!



Good luck and Happy Valentine's Day!
