I know it's the post title, but hey, it also happen to be true:
Miracle is almost here--and I want to hit 1000 pre-orders (and yes, give away some books--what, like it's a shock?)
Miracle is out on June 5th (!!!) and, as most of the blog-twitter-fb-etc-sphere knows, I'm trying to reach 1000 pre-orders

You are permanent within me in this chaos.
Somewhere deep in my mind you shine forever, without
moving, silent, like the angel awed by death,
or like the insect burying itself
in the rotted heart of a tree.”

“However tortured the rationalizations we prefer, the thirst of one human being for another can be so--humbling--but I preferred to think of it as fate. And then mad desire. Anything but a fortress built on the back of a whim...How much easier to say there is no coincidence, and certainly no mistakes, and carry on to our destruction in defense of...how shall I put it? My idea of myself. One will sacrifice anything for that.”

don't make the poor man say it;

And now he can never not nod.
And now he can never say no.
And now he can never not say
yes.”

I thought Love You, Hate You, Miss You was great! I'm wondering which part made you cry during writing? ...There were several parts that warranted it.
Hi! (: Thanks for accepting my friend request, I really enjoy your books and I just bought The Unwritten Rule!
I just finished The Unwritten Rule. I couldn't put it down. A great read. Just wanted to say thank you for writing your books, i enjoy them so much!

Thanks for friending me! I'm currently reading The Unwritten Rule, and I like it so far. I'll definitely check out more of your books in the future.
Hi :) I really love your book "Love You, Hate You, Miss You" It has got to be the best book I have ever read.
I'm going to go out and buy 'Living Dead Girl' on Monday :)
I can not wait to read it
Thanks again for accepting me as a friend, and commenting on my page :)

Hi, thanks for accepting me! Living Dead Girl absolutely blew me away! Can't wait to read Love You, Hate You, Miss You!
Hey, thanks for the add! You're totally one of my favorite authors! The first time I heard of you was when I came across Stealing Heaven and I instantly fell in love with the plot. Love You, Hate You, Miss You and Living Dead girl are my favorites. Thanks for writing such awesome books. :)
Hey!Thanks for accepting my request! I absolutely love your work, Bloom and Stealing Heaven are two of my favorites. I can't wait to read The Unwritten Rule!
Hey Elizabeth!!! Thanks for the add and you deserved all my stars, I love your books. Now you are one of my favorite authors. I first read Perfect You, and It was amazing,I cant put it down. I cant wait to The unwritten rule to come out!
Hi! I love your books; I just finished reading Love You, Hate You, Miss You, and it was amazing!I'm excited for your next book. :)
Thanks for adding me and thank you, thank you, thank you for writing such great books!! The first book of yours I read was "Perfect You" and from there I was hooked! I love your writing and I love all of your books!!! =)
Hi Elizabeth! I've just discovered your books, and I'll read more of your novels, but it's kind difficult for me to read in English because I'm French. Thanks for adding me and best wishes!
You're welcome for the add. You are definitely one of my top favorite authors. I've never been into what I call normal books (i.e. ones without anything supernatural) till I checked out Bloom by you at the library and now I'm hooked! So I thank you for writing such great books!
I just got Something, Maybe form the library and I am really excited to start reading it!!! Thank you for being such a great writer... I started reading Stealing Heaven, but I left it in a locker... It is killing me to not be able to finish it right now...! Happy Holidays!
Thank you for adding me! So far I've only read "Perfect You" and it was absolutely enthralling. (I'm aware that I'm getting "Living Dead Girl" and "Love You Hate You Miss You" for Christmas). I can't wait to start reading [them:] - they've been tempting me for so long on Goodreads that it seems weird that I'll finally have my hands on them.
