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.

Things are pretty self-explanatory around here, but if you’re looking for info on me, check out my Bio. For the latest news (and probably some general kvetching), check out the Blog. There’s also a Q&A section that I’ll add to over time as you (yes, you) ask me questions. I’d love to come visit you, so please check out the Author Visit information too.

And definitely check out Sucks to Be Me: The All-True Confessions of Mina Hamilton, Teen Vampire (maybe), my first novel, which hit stores in August 2008!! The sequel, Still Sucks to Be Me is currently scheduled to come out in May 2010.

I can’t wait to hear from you (and hear what you think about my book(s))!

Current Contest(s)

I like to have periodic contests because a) I think my fans rock and b) they’re fun and c) why the heck not? Right now, why don’t you…

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.
