Tweeting Goth Girl!

In preparation for the launch of Goth Girl Rising, I am excerpting the book each day on Twitter! Every day between now and the book's launch, I'll be posting a brief excerpt on Twitter. If you'd like to follow me on Twitter, do so at http://twitter.com/barrylyga .

If you don't want to bother with Twitter, I'll be automagically reposting the tweets on this page, so bookmark it and come back each day! Or use the subscribe link below to have the tweets delivered to your RSS feed! (Isn't it great to live in the future?)

• What would Fanboy do if he saw me like this?
  
• I went into the kitchen and got the big knife.
• Late night shopping runs are a BONANZA for car thieves.
  
• I want him to kiss me. I realize it, and it's so hard and fast that it hurts.
  
• I think maybe that's the secret that suicides know.
  
• I think I'd rather have my revenge than be healthy.
  
• I wish I'd known that YEARS ago! I would have been calling teachers sluts back in middle school!
  
• I toss her CDs in the trash. Trust me, I'm doing her a favor.
  
• "Don't worry - the Spermling can't find his dick under all the rolls of fat. Your virtue is intact."
  
• And his hands become fists and I'm pretty sure he's gonna hit me, but I don't care.
• "You have to tell me something."
  "What?"
  "The third thing. Your third thing."
  
• I'm so pissed I can't even think straight!
  
• I'm trying to imagine how someone could kill herself with a Schick Silk Effects.
  
• "I thought...we don't want people to know...right?"
  
• "Don't sling the bullshit my way, Fanboy. I look like a freak."
  
• Go ahead, lung cancer. Kill me. I dare you.
  
• And Morpheus is in trouble because the Kindly Ones are coming to kill him.
  
• "OK, well, in that case, you should totally have sex with Cal."
  
• “Chill out, Fanboy. You act like you’re gonna get some.”
  
• the room the room the room is rosevomit because
  
• “I need you to fire up your bitchiest bitch parts.”
  
• “This has got to be a record, Miss Sellers,” the Spermling wheezes. “Even for you.”
• What would it be like? To kiss him? To be with him? To have him as my boyfriend?
• “Not that! Your head! Your goddamn head!” He’s shaking.
• It’s strange to sit and talk to a boy who’s seen your boobs.

FANBOY AND GOTH GIRL!
By: Stacie on Wed October 14, 2009, 20:08:03

I read the first one a couple years ago and fell in love. GothGirl was so tempermental and angst-ridden, FanBoy was such a pervy little geek. THEY. MUST. KISS.

The Awaited Sequel Is Here!
By: Robert Cameron on Wed February 17, 2010, 10:16:55

I remember speaking with you in an interview about this... I asked you for an interview to use for my English project about two years ago. I remember you saying that you were unsure if you were going to write a sequel... and now you have! That's wonderful, and it looks like the "third thing" may be revealed, at least it might be indirectly. I can't wait to read it!

I loved the first book.
By: Katherine C. on Mon June 14, 2010, 20:58:40

I have to say, out of all the great authors I've ever read (meaning out of many), Barry Lyga has to be one of the best. I absolutely loved loved LOVED "The Adventures of Fanboy and Goth Girl." I honored Kyra in monologue form :] (Project for English class...we had to write and perform as a character from the book). Anyway, I cannot wait to get my hands on the second book.
