- About Me:
- I am fourteen (almost fifteen) and I have a book reviewing blog at http://www.princess2293.blogspot.com.
I have one brother, two dogs, and a rabbit.
If I'm not reading I'm either listening to music, practicing my piano, or singing - or a combination of the three. :p
I'm addicted to Mountain Dew. It's my coffee.
I am actively involved in my church.
My favorite book is Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and it has been since I was, like, two.
My favorite movie of all time is Grease, and it has been since I was five. I watch it at least once a week and have seen the musical twice.
I love to watch I Love Lucy re-runs. It's the best show in the world.
My friends and family mean the world to me.
My school calls me smart, but sometimes I wonder. Maybe it's the blonde-ness of me...
I hate winter. Summer is my favorite season.
Uhm. I'm pretty sure that's it. Besides the fact that I love to read. Which I think is pretty much a given. :)

I Just Figured Out.
I just figured out that I could post stuff here. haha.
Summer reading. I always think that I'm going to have, like, mounds of time to read. But then, I get invited to stay at friends houses. And I get addicted to the Internet (more than usual, anyway). And then I volunteer at the library and have all my music lessons. Everything seems to get in the way of me reading my wonderful books.
Does this happen to anybody else or am I just extremely odd?
Oh, and I also added an RSS feed to my site, so… Continue

Dear Book Lover:
On Jan 9th, 2010 my debut novel, SUGAR will celebrate its 10th anniversary and in order to commemorate this milestone I am campaigning to sell 10,000 copies between now and that date.
“Bernice L. McFadden's first novel begins with the brief, poetic description of a crime so startling that the reader is helplessly drawn in, as if a bright red door stood ajar on a bleak and forbidding house. Pearl Taylor's daughter, Jude, has been found murdered and mutilated near a field at the edge of town. "The murder had white man written all over it," writes McFadden. "But no one would say it above a whisper. It was 1940. It was Bigelow, Arkansas. It was a black child. Need any more be said?" In the years that follow, Pearl catches sight of Jude in so many strangers that when Sugar Lacey comes to town and sets up her unwholesome "business" in the house next door, she doesn't know whether to believe what she sees in Sugar's face: a striking similarity to Jude, dead 15 years. In her sedate but supple prose--rising at times to a light, unforced lyricism in the description of landscape or character--the author perfectly renders the closed and protective society of a small Southern town, the superstitions, gossip, and prying.”
I’m asking that you purchase a copy of SUGAR for yourself, a friend or family member. And if you could help spread the word by blogging, twittering ad Face-booking my campaign, it would mean the world to me.
Peace & Light,
Bernice L. McFadden
My name is Chris Tusa, and I'm a writer from New Orleans. I am writing because my debut novel, Dirty Little Angels, is now available, and I was hoping you might be willing to mention it on your blog (or review it). If you're interested, I'd be glad to send you an e-book version of the book. Just let me know. I've included a summary of the novel below:
Dirty Little Angels
Set in the slums of New Orleans, among clusters of crack houses and abandoned buildings, Dirty Little Angels is the story of sixteen year old Hailey Trosclair. When the Trosclair family suffers a string of financial hardships and a miscarriage, Hailey finds herself looking to God to save her family. When her prayers go unanswered, Hailey puts her faith in Moses Watkins, a failed preacher and ex-con. Fascinated by Moses's lopsided view of religion, Hailey, and her brother Cyrus, begin spending time down at an abandoned bank that Moses plans to convert into a drive-through church. Gradually, though, Moses's twisted religious beliefs become increasingly more violent, and Hailey and Cyrus soon find themselves trapped in a world of danger and fear from which there may be no escape.
