June 2017 New Release Giveaway Hop

Posted June 1, 2017 by Stephanie in Blog Hop, Giveaway / 30 Comments

Welcome to my stop on the June New Release Giveaway Hop! I am so happy to participate in this, since I know I’ve been pretty MIA due to my pregnancy and the birth of my child. I have just been so busy in the past few months. But I am so happy to have one of my reader’s win their choice of ANY YA JUNE 2017 NEW RELEASE OF THEIR CHOICE (up to $15). This giveaway is international, as long as The Book Depository ships to you for free. If you are a US winner, I will ship via Amazon since I have prime and it will get to you a lot sooner than The Book Depository. That being said, US winners would also have a choice on a finished copy or a kindle edition (whichever one is preferred).

Here Are The June 2017 YA Releases I’m Looking Forward To

*Keep in mind you can choose one of these below or any other YA release in April*

The Giveaway!

#ReadADessen Campaign [Keeping the Moon]

Posted April 24, 2017 by Stephanie in #PRHPartner, Blog Tour, Giveaway / 4 Comments

Thanks to Penguin Random House, I get to be a part of the #ReadADessen Campaign, which is about highlighting all of Sarah Dessen’s books counting down to her newest book, Once and for All which releases this June! Not to mention, Penguin is also giving away a FULL SET of Sarah Dessen books, so go enter down below!

I’m personally doing a Read Along of every Sarah Dessen book and each week I provide a post with discussion questions and I will also be reviewing every book. If you want to participate in that one click the banner below!

Sidenote: I was provided a paperback copy of Keeping the Moon by Penguin Teen as a #PRHPartner. This in no way affects my opinions of the book!

#ReadADessen Campaign [Keeping the Moon] Keeping the Moon by Sarah Dessen
Published by Penguin on September 1st 1999
Genres: Young Adult, Contemporary, Romance
Pages: 228
Format: Paperback
Source: Publisher
Goodreads
Buy on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, The Book Depository

There is an alternate cover edition for this ISBN13 here.
Colie expects the worst when she's sent to spend the summer with her eccentric aunt Mira while her mother, queen of the television infomercial, tours Europe. Always an outcast -- first for being fat and then for being "easy" -- Colie has no friends at home and doesn't expect to find any in Colby, North Carolina.
But then she lands a job at the Last Chance Cafe and meets fellow waitresses Morgan and Isabel, best friends with a loving yet volatile relationship. Wacky yet wise, Morgan and Isabel help Colie see herself in a new way and realize the potential that has been there all along.

I have not had the chance to read and review this book yet, considering the past week or two I’ve been getting ready for the birth of my child. Which if you’re reading this on the day it is posted, she should be here by now! But as soon as we get settled back at home and in a routine, I will be diving into this one and I am super excited for it!

Have you read Keeping the Moon? Tell me what you thought of it? If not, have you read any of Sarah Dessen’s books? Let me know in the comments and let me know what’s your favorite one!

That Summer [Review, RA Answers, & Giveaway!]

Posted April 18, 2017 by Stephanie in Giveaway, Read Along, Review / 0 Comments

My Thoughts/Answers for Read Along My overall view of That Summer was… “it’s okay.” It is by far not my favorite book of Sarah Dessen’s. But I did appreciate it and just because it was okay doesn’t mean I won’t be reading all of her books! I didn’t really connect a whole lot with Haven. […]

Blog Tour: Spindle Fire [Guest Post & Giveaway]

Posted April 7, 2017 by Stephanie in Blog Tour, Giveaway, Guest Post / 7 Comments

Guest Post I learned so many interesting things while researching for Spindle Fire! I based the world loosely on France in the early 1300’s, but layered in the rules and history of the faerie world. One of the things I had suspected was that in the early fourteenth century, western Europe did not have spinning […]
