Liz said...: Am I the only person in the world who feels Nicholas Sparks is seriously overrated? I cannot stand him. If he were a woman his books would be Harlequin romances, utterly dismissed as fluff by "serious" reviewers. And I say that as one with great affection fo (not to mention a onetime owner of a big library of) Harlequins! "Somebody Else's Daughter" looks interesting. I just finished the latest Mary Higgins Clark (can't remember the title -- they're all alike!), which was enjoyable. That was my fun fiction. My non-fiction book is a World War II memoir, "Abandoned and Forgotten," by Evelyne Tannehill. I had no idea Germans were thrown out of their home and lands by the East Prussians. The war orphans that results are called "Wolf Children" (something else I didn't know) and that's what this author is. Very interesting look at a forgotten/unknown chapter of WWII.

And I'm eagerly awaiting the new Jacqueline Mitchard. I wonder if that will be Oprah's book pick? Her very first one was Mitchard's "Deep End of the Ocean," and this book is a sequel to that. I like the symmetry.

Happy reading!; August 27, 2009 at 10:59 AM

ATTENTION AUTHORS AND PUBLISHERS

If you're a publisher, author or publicist and are looking for book bloggers to review your book, please send me an email (belle2211 (at) yahoo DOT com ) with book details. I would love to review and feature your book on my blog.

I am currently accepting the following genres: chick-lit, light paranormal, and YA books. I am not accepting self-published books.

I will try my best to read your book and review it here in a timely manner. My reviews will be fair and honest.

I am also open to blog tours, guest posts, and contests.

The YA Book Blog Directory is the premiere reference site for YA book blogs; The Reader’s Guide To The Blogosphere, if you will. You might feel overwhelmed by the number of book blogs out there, or can’t find exactly what you’re looking for. DON’T PANIC: We’re here to help. This is a site for authors looking to publicise their books, publishers looking for reviewers, book bloggers looking to network and teenage readers wondering what books they should sink their teeth into next (unintentional vampire reference).
