tenthings
As always to check out the other participants on the tour, and enter their contest for a 10 Things We Did book, click the image above. Our entry form is at the bottom of the post.
So we’re on another wonderful Blog Tour with The {Teen} Book Scene and this week we have Sarah Mlynowski, author of Ten Things We Did (and probably shouldn’t have) giving us a Ten’s list of her own compiled from creative answers + commentary from Sarah herself. With out furter ado, here’s Sarah and her list of:: 
Ten Things You Did And Probably Shouldn’t Have
I ran a contest on http://www.facebook.com/tenthingswedid to find the most creative "Things you did and probably shouldn't have.” (You can still share yours by playing the Ten Things Game.) Here are the ten most common ones, with commentary:
1) Cut my own hair.
(Me, I cut my own bangs. They came out unintentionally diagonal.)
2) Skipped class because I forgot my homework.
(I never skipped class. I just told the teacher my sister ate it.)
3) Hit the send button.
(Tied with hit reply all.)
4) Ate an entire carton of ice cream.
(Wait, this is a problem?)
5) Jumped into a pool with my clothes on
(Never did this. I did once jump into a pool with my clothes off…)
6) Got addicted to caffeine.
(Yes.)
7) Missed my curfew.
(I never missed a curfew. I wasn’t always forthcoming about what I was up to before curfew, but I was always home on time.)
8) Watched a scary movie right before bed.
(I tend to watch a lot of Law & Order when my husband is out of town. And then I’m convinced there is a man with a machete hiding in my closet.)
9) Forgot to clear my web history.
(You can clear your web history?)
10) Slept through my alarm.
(I don’t need an alarm anymore. I have a toddler. Much more effective. Louder, and no snooze button.)
We are also excited to announce that Sarah has given all the participants on the tour a copy of her book to giveaway to one of our lucky readers.

  22. OK, I'll tell you all the things I did on this list...and shouldn't have.

    1. Of course I cut my own hair.

    2. I skipped class because I didn't want to go...and get teased by my classmates. (I sounded tough until I added the last part.)

    3. LOL. I did the "Reply All" one. It was funny.

    4. Does Ben & Jerry's count? I mean, they're not *that* big. (Especially when I'm stressed and the ice cream is oh-so-good.)

    5. Yes.

    6. I am proud of my caffeine addiction.

    7. Did not miss curfew. I didn't really have a curfew. My parents just sort of knew where I was and I was responsible about telling them when I would be home. It was usually a school event or something anyway. I wasn't a party kid.

    8. Scary movies don't bother me. I don't really enjoy them anymore though.

    9. Nothing worth clearing in my web history. Oh, no! What if my best friend discovers I looked up tantalizing topics like "cockatiel breeding" and "Morton's neuroma"?

    10. Yep. I did that one. I'm not sure I wish I didn't do it though.

    Thanks for the fun, gals!

  29. Great list and I love the commentary. I'm sure everyone has done the bang thing, I know I have :)

  30. I stole another ladies idea and decided to tell you which ones I've done as well :)

    2) Skipped class because I forgot my homework.
    I usually just skipped because I didn't want to go! Or a slept through it.
    3) Hit the send button.
    Always a mistake when you're debating!
    5) Jumped into a pool with my clothes on.
    Wasn't jumped.. was pushed!
    6) Got addicted to caffeine.
    Who isn't honestly?
    7) Missed my curfew.
    You betcha. I think kids just have to at least once.
    8) Watched a scary movie right before bed.
    Stupid, stupid idea. I refuse to watch scary movies anymore. I get realllly scared!
    9) Forgot to clear my web history.
    Once I learned I never wanted to anymore :/
    10) Slept through my alarm.
    About every other day!

    This was such a fun post to read and thanks for the giveaway!
