Home

Hey! Welcome to the official homepage of Kimberly Pauley (author, book reviewer, wife, mommy, short person, crafting fiend…). You might know me best as my alter-ego The YA Books Goddess @ Young Adult Books Central, where I’ve been reviewing and giving away thousands of books since 1998.

NEW! Finally! The Fans-Only contest for advance copies of Still Sucks to Be Me is now up!

Cool Free Stuff

These are some ongoing giveaways that’ll never end (well, until I run out of supplies). Would you like a free signed batty bookplate for your copy of Sucks to Be Me? Check this out to find out what you need to do to get one.

Do you have a reading group (or are you a librarian or teacher or heck, anyone) and you’d like a copy of the Reading Guide for the book? And not just a reading guide but also a whole little care package of Sucks to Be Me goodies (like bookmarks and stickers)? And not just a care package but also a chat or phone call with me to your group?? Ha, I knew you would! Find out what you have to do to get your own Reading Group care package.

What I’m Working On Now:
Cat Girl Saves the Day (Working Title…probably not the final one!)

Now open! The Sucks to Be Me T-Shirt Shop!

Check out these awesome (if I do say so myself) T-shirts with cool bats, vampire squirrels and more! If there’s a Mina doodle from the books you’d like to see on a shirt that you don’t see available, let me know and I’ll see what I can do.

All Proceeds Go to Charity! All proceeds benefit Open Books, a Chicago-based non-profit that promotes literacy and much more. So you can look cool AND know that you’re helping out a good cause! Doesn’t that rock?
