I usually don't post quiz results here, but this is just too, too perfect.
The quiz was created by E. Lockhart, author of the fabbity-fab Boyfriend List. I found it via Interactive Reader.
I am:
BOY PROOF, by Cecil Castelluci. Poetic and edgy, oddball and romantic, both. Go read it. It's you.
I STILL haven't read this book. Bad, bad librarian. (Of course, it would help if my library HAD the darn book.)
It's good. Read it.
:)

Fun. I got this one: LOOKING FOR ALASKA, by John Green.
Sad, Funny, boozy, thought-provoking. Go read it. It's you.

Why doesn't your library have the book?

I loved looking through the different books you've read and reviewed...You had some of my old favorites and some that I'd like to read...I've started (very recently) listing some books I enjoyed as a teen (as well as some from adulthood)on a few blogs...I'll keep checking in on your blog and see what I'm missing! Hopefully one day I'll be as well read as you!

I got Looking for Alaska, too, which I haven't read. But I agree that it was a singularly witty quiz.

Are you REALLY a librarian? If so, can you tell me who chooses the books that come into a library?

Jackie: I'm not sure why my library doesn't have the book -- I don't do the ordering. It could have been overlooked, or not been on the YA librarian's radar... Also, our library is pretty small, so there might have been a budgetary issue. Any number of reasons, I guess!
Naru: It depends on the library. At my library, the Library Director is the one who does the bulk of the ordering for grown-ups, the Children's Librarian orders for the Children's Room, Reference for Reference and so on. They make their decisions based on reviews, bestseller lists and patron/staff requests (among other things, but those are the biggies).

Hmm... I'm Looking for Alaska too. Wonder what Collomia is.

Italics overload. Ugh. Sorry.
