Book Giveaway!

I am giving away a copy of Upstate by Kalisha Buckhanon.

Here is a summary:
Baby, the first thing I need to know from you is do you believe I killed my father?"

So begins Upstate, a powerful story told through letters between seventeen-year-old Antonio and his sixteen-year-old girlfriend, Natasha, set in the 1990's in New York. Antonio and Natasha's world is turned upside down, and their young love is put to the test, when Antonio finds himself in jail, accused of a shocking crime. Antonio fights to stay alive on the inside, while on the outside, Natasha faces choices that will change her life. Over the course of a decade, they share a desperate correspondence. Often, they have only each other to turn to as life takes them down separate paths and leaves them wondering if they will ever find their way back together.

News n' Stuff

I received some good news today at work. YAY! So I decided to treat myself and I bought a book. I was taken by Laurie Halse Anderson’s new book, Wintergirls (It had a shinny cover). Plus it sounded interesting. Once I am finished with the novel I will be offering it up to one of my lucky readers. Please keep an eye out. The giveaway should happen in a few weeks.

In addition, Cindy Pon, the author of Silver Phoenix, has kindly agreed to let me interview her. She rocks! I’m a little nervous because it's my first one. I hope I don’t screw it up!

After much thought and debate, I decided that History Rocks (my other blog dedicated to YA historical fiction) will be closed. It doesn’t receive a lot of traffic and it’s hard to keep two blogs up at once. So I will dedicate one day of the month to historical fictions novel. It will called Historical Fiction Fridays. Every third Friday of the month is when I will post a review on a historical fiction novel.

That's all for now. There will be a review upcoming.

My First Book Giveaway!

This is it! It is my first book giveaway. I'm excited (now watch no one wants the book!) I am giving away one copy of Sunrise over Fallujah. If you are interested in the book please send me an email at yabookmarks@gmail.com . The drawing will be held Sunday (Oct. 19th). In the future I hope to give away more books to my loyal readers. I think this is the perfect way of saying THANK YOU! Or, as I always say to my students GRAZIE!

This giveaway is for those within the United States. Maybe in the future I'll expand it.
