An Interview with Melissa Walker
Hi everyone! I meant to post this so much earlier, but then life just swept me away. The sweet and lovely Melissa Walker, author of Lovestruck Summer, was kind enough to do an interview with me! Let’s see what she had to say shall we? ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ 1) Describe Lovestruck Summer in 10 words or less. Indie rock girl meets country cowboy in Austin. Sparks fly. 2) What inspired you to write Lovestruck Summer? I took a trip to Austin and fell in love with the city. I knew I had to write a book with some Texas charm in it…

Book Review: Whisper
I’d love a cup of coffee. I wish she knew how pretty she was. I wish I could drop this kid in the dryer sometimes. I just want her to be happy. I hope she didn’t find out what Ben said about her. I wish I knew how many calories were in a bite of muffin… Joy is used to hearing Whispers. She’s used to walking down the street and instantly knowing people’s deepest, darkest desires. She uses this talent for good, to make people happy and give them what they want. But for her older sister, Jessica, the family…

In My Mailbox (6)
In My Mailbox is a weekly post created by The Story Siren and inspired by Alea of Pop Culture Junkie.

So check back soon because I’ll be putting them up here first for anyone who…

New Rating System and Post Breaks!
*waves happily to her new followers as is customary* Sorry I just have to do that every now and then. I never want anyone who follows my blog to feel like they are not appreciated! You all rock my socks. You spoke, I listened. After mulling over the votes on the poll I decided that I would just be better off doing a little bit of each thing. The votes were so varied, it reminded me that different people are always looking for different things in a review. Who am I to take that away from them? If you come…

A conversation with the kids.
If you haven’t been following my blog since the beginning, you might not know that I work with kids. Well, actually you probably know because I constantly talk about them…lol. I even read books specifically geared FOR them so that I can find things they’ll enjoy. What can I say? I don’t have any children yet, so each and every one of those little faces are my happiness. At least they’re mine temporarily :). Today we started a conversation about libraries. Me: So what do you all think about going to the library this month? Class: YEAAAAHHHHH! When are we…
