Reviews posted this week:
Going Too Far by Jennifer Echols
The Life of Glass by Jillian Cantor

I had one author join me for an interview - Shelena Shorts - Author of The Pace. With this interview you can enter to win your very own copy of The Pace - Signed! This week I also received in the mail via Shelena, a bear (just like the one that Sophie wins at the carnival, Wes takes her too), beads that they used for the 2nd books photo shoot, book marks, and a card - OMG how sweet is that?! OHH and a button, that says WESTON - EAK...Love - it's not often (for me anyway) for an author to take time out of there busy schedule to email or chat with me, so this was VERY special! Thank you Shelena!

This week I read:
The Lonely Hearts Club - Review written.
Break - Review to follow, gotta get my feelings in order first.
Rising Shadow - Review and Interview with the author to come - so excited about this one!
The Life of Glass
The Mark - Review to follow, I really enjoyed it. Beautiful.

  5. Kari not mad about Break at all, not sure why you think I was or would be, it was not what I was expecting but it was a beautifully written book - and I VERY much connected with the main character...I dont know HOW a Teen wrote that book, it's very emotional, and very beautiful.
