Reading for Charity - Auction Help
I wonder if some of you guys might be able to help me. This year I’m running The Year of Readers (http://yearofreaders.blogspot.com), a year long, online sponsored read-a-thon where readers collect money for various literacy charities. Not only is each participant working to raise money for a worthy cause, but each book an official participant reads earns Eco-Libris (an organization that plants trees) a penny from my own pocket.We’re doing well…See More

Always glad to meet more YA Bloggers,
Hope you are enjoying what you are reading currently,
I would love for you to check out my YA blog,
http://sunniesarecool-reviewsbooks.blogspot.comFirst of all I have to apologize for my belated reply! I have not checked my profile page for about two months so your request to be added in my directory has gone unnoticed until now. I am really sorry for that and I have added you the very first moment I had the chance (a.k.a. a few minutes ago)
Thank you and once again I apologize,
Kay
My name is Chris Tusa, and I'm a writer from New Orleans. My debut novel, Dirty Little Angels, is being released from the University of West Alabama on March 1st, and is now available for pre-order from Amazon.com. I am writing because I was hoping you might be willing to mention it on your blog (or consider it for review). 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.
