Getting there a little late, but it's book blogger hop time again, hosted by Jen at Crazy For Books! This is a meme I think I will keep using, since it is pretty much win-win for me: people see my blog, and I find other cool blogs I can follow to keep up with YA happenings.
Anyway, this week's question: Who is your favorite new-to-you author this year?
Hmm, that's a good question. I think I would have to say Jacqueline Woodson, since I LOVED Locomotion. Right now I'm reading its sequel, Peace, Locomotion, and like it so far. I also have another one of hers that I got from the library (actually I think it's overdue... oops. I know Peace, Locomotion is... I'll get it back soon I promise!).
So that is what I have to say about that! Thanks for dropping by!
OOPs! Just left a huge post about substitute teaching on your other blog under the Butterfly Mosque review. I was just saying it might pay more than what you're doing right now. You need your transcripts and a driver's license. They don't even care what you majored in or your grades. Just that you finished. Down here on the Cape they are always desperate for subs. I think they make about 75$ before taxes. Thanks for visiting my site and I'm sorry about posting on the other site. I didn't see the blogspot site so I looked it up under your name. Heather
ReplyDeleteHappy friday!
ReplyDeleteI've picked your blog for an award! Please stop by my blog to pick up the Versatile Blogger Award I would like to pass on to you.

Thanks Danielle, but I've decided I didn't want to participate in blog awards where I'd have to pick more than one to pass it on to. I appreciate it though!
ReplyDeleteHeather, I read the post in the other blog, thanks for the idea! I've thought about subbing but get nervous when I think about trying to control high-schoolers.
Hi, just found your lovely blog via the hop. I really like your writing style and the look of your site. I do a "Retro Review" feature similar to your "Throwback Thursday". It's nice to see reviews on older books as well as new releases.
ReplyDeleteHope you'll stop by and check out my blog. Let me know what you think!
