    Take home a copy of Undertow by Callie Kingston!

    In case you missed it, today I reviewed Undertow by Callie Kingston. This is a book that wasn’t quite what I expected, but what it turned out to be was great!

    Ten things you didn’t know about Amanda Grace

    Today Amanda Grace (or Mandy Hubbard depending on who you ask *wink*) is here to share some little know items about herself! Getting to know an author better is one of my favorite things. She is on tour in honor of her newest book, In Too Deep. Click the book cover to add it to your Goodreads list. I never meant for anyone to get hurt.

    5 Favorite Book Picks with Emily Beaver, author of Slipping Reality

    Special thanks to Emily Beaver and JKSCommunicatons for this original content! Emily Beaver’s Top 5 Book Picks 5 – In Cold Blood by Truman Capote I read this book for one of my analytical papers in AP Literature, and I just couldn’t put it down. Technically this is a non-fiction book, but I felt like it was fiction with how rich the characters and descriptions were. I’m already a fan of his most famous novel, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, but this book was written so simply and so effortlessly you can’t help but feel aligned with the characters. While much of…

    Emily M. Danforth shares her favorite moments from The Miseducation of Cameron Post

    I had a very good time creating and inhabiting and utilizing the character of Grandma Post. In fact, I came to love her scenes so much that she eventually emerged on the page much more fully than I’d probably originally intended. Now that I’ve been done writing about her for quite awhile I actually miss her sometimes. That probably sounds strange, but it’s true. And so, in her honor, I give you: The Top Ten (Funny/Awkward/Old Fashioned/Endearing) Bits of Dialogue from Grandma Post  When Cameron Post’s parents die suddenly in a car crash, her shocking first thought is relief. Relief…
