david yoo and paula yoo reading at the asian american writers' workshop

Oh sweet. I just saw on the Asian American Writers' Workshop calendar that brother/sister writing duo David Yoo, author of the recently published Stop Me If You've Heard This One Before, and Paula Yoo, author of Good Enough, will be appearing together to read from and discuss their books. Should be a very interesting evening:
In Stop Me If You Have Heard This One Before, Yoo humorously captures that special mania that only your high-school crushes can induce. Yoo's debut Good Enough chronicles the journey of Patti, an over achieving Ivy-bound teen itching to rebel. After the reading, this young adult duo will discuss creativity among siblings and confess who hogged the bathroom the longest.

It's happening Thursday, October 9 at the Workshop in New York. I'm not quite done with Stop Me yet, but I'm loving it so far. And I haven't written much about Good Enough, which I read earlier this year, but it's also a great, fun read. So much talent in one family!

Both books are actually geared by their publishers towards teens, so maybe that says something about me. I guess I just wish there were books like this when I was growing up. Anyway, for more information about the event, visit the Asian American Writers' Workshop website here.
