On My Radar: Staycation Reads ..

I am on a staycation this week so I hope to get a lot of reading done. Will that be the case? Time will tell since I have some cards to make (thanks for the order Kelsey!) and a hockey game to attend (I’m going today) and some other things to do. But I do like to get some morning reading in and with some caffeine some late night reading too. When I plan to spend some time reading I like to have some idea as to what I want to spend time on. Here are about 4 books that […]

Spotlight: Defending Taylor by..

I now understand culture shock: it’s me experiencing Hundred Oaks High for the first time. A lot of kids go here. Five hundred? A thousand? There are so many I can’t tell. At St. Andrew’s, there were only forty kids in my entire class. We lived on a calm, sprawling, green campus. Walking down the halls of Hundred Oaks feels like last-minute Christmas shopping at a crowded mall. Two guys wearing football jerseys are throwing a ball back and forth. It whizzes by my ear. A suspender-clad male teacher is hanging a poster for the science fair, while a couple […]

Blog Tour: Defending Taylor by..

I originally read Defending Taylor as a draft and I loved it right away. It was one of those books that made you think how far you would go for a friend or someone you loved and if it would be worth it. It made you think about how mistakes can define you even when you don’t want them to and how people can perceive you differently. And it did all this in pure Miranda fashion, with humor, a hot boy prospect, and natural drama. Defending Taylor is about Taylor Lukens, high school senior and the daughter of a US […]

Blog Tour: Jesse’s Girl ..

I don’t deny the fact that I am a lucky girl. I got to read Jesse’s Girl for the first time when it was in draft form and wasn’t even called Jesse’s Girl. I fell in love with it then but I wanted to wait to review it until I had done a reread. Honestly, though, it didn’t matter. The book was awesome in draft and awesome in a final copy. Miranda Kenneally once again does what she does best and gives you awesome boys, wicked cool girls and a story that will keep you invested ill the end. […]

Pre-order Campaign: Jesse̵..

On July 7th, Miranda Kenneally has a new book coming out, Jess’s Girl. And to do along with that book release her publishing company Sourcebooks Fire is running a pre-order campaign which I find pretty cool. And pretty easy to do. The gist is that you pre-order Jesse’s Girl (it’s awesome by the way!) and email proof of purchase to Sourcebooks Fire. You will then get an email back with an EXCLUSIVE Playlist, an invite to an online author event on July 6th where Miranda will be giving some fun prizes, a signed/personalized bookplate, a super-cute custom guitar pick, and […]
