"
I always enjoyed Martha Brockenbrough's work on MSN Encarta, but I enjoyed Things That Make Us [Sic] even more. This book not only because it reinforces everything one already knows about the English language, but also because it reminds us of les...

Death! Love! Euphemisms! Squirrels!
This is the best YA book I have read all year: witty, wise, and populated by fully-human teen angels. The guardian angel business wasn't at all what I expected, what with the levels of hell involving microfiche a... " Read more of this review » |

I LOVE this book. Funny and smart; some of the best zingy dialog around. For fans of John Green (and who isn't?) Author lives in Seattle.

Can't wait to read Devine Intervention. It seems so funny and amazing and I loved the cover ever since I read the synopsis on Goodreads. Too bad I can get one with your special stamp from Book Depository :(.

Hi, Martha! Miss Grammar Queen! Good to see you on Good Reads! Thanks for adding me here as well as on Linked In. You're so awesome, I love your posts, your articles, and I really need to buy that book of yours as well! The one titled "Things That Makes Us (Sic)." Before my grammar slips to the point of making YOU sic, I will end it here. :) Cheers and have a delightful afternoon, Madame!
Mada, if you send me your mailing address, I will send you a signed bookplate with the stamp. I'll have to design one so it won't be instant. But I will do it!
