Just under a year ago, I received my first ARC to review. It was a scary moment because what if I didn't like the book????? But, I ended up enjoying it and the author later contacted me and sent me book two. Which I still need to read. Then, I was contacted again asking if I'd like to give both books away.
Well, DUH! Oh yeah, did I mention the books are signed? 
If you don't feel like clicking the link to my review, I can tell you I gave it four stars. It was a great page turner, used a formula of ordinary girl meets supernatural boy, but unlike other YAs I had read, didn't make Beth a whiny Mary Sue. I thought she was quite unique and did NOT obsess over Jonathan. There was even a great line referencing Edward's stalking in Twilight.
Rules to the giveaway are simple. Use the Rafflecopter to earn entries. I'll ship internationally. Ends April 4th (the day I posted the review. Second link to it, I must what you to check it out. ^_~) You can learn more about Melinda and her books at http://www.thebirthrightlegacy.com/. #WriteMotivation Update
I skipped last week because the week before I posted on Friday and it seemed silly to do an update on Monday. Friday I had another post, so I just decided to wait until I could post again on Monday.
Okay, I had my goals listed and how I was doing, then Saturday rolled around and something bad happened (I got self destructive) and made me decide I need to focus on one goal: Number 5. Since March started, I haven't been doing too well at staying positive and I just seem to be getting worse. Saturday was, like, the cumulation of it or something. So, I'm going to set my other goals on the back burner (well, my A to Z posts are done so that one was achieved) and try to get my head back into a good place.
PS: Being Human is being featured today at http://readcheaply.com/ Please, check it out and help me spread the word.
Also, if you have a book, it might be a site to look into for a bit of free promo. All you have to do is check out their Twitter and Facebook and tweet a shoutout. The more people that know about it, the more that will see your book when you submit to them.

I love YA where the MC isn't a whiny Mary Sue, and I bet I'd laugh pretty loudly at the line about Edward's stalking. 3/17/2014 12:47:52 am
Ok so here's the deal. Come to my blog on the 21st. It's when I reveal my A to Z theme. Maybe it can help you find some positives too! :) Or, if you need something sooner, I've got last years A to Z still up to help too! :) 3/18/2014 02:38:23 am
I remember you had great uplifting posts last year. I enjoyed them. 3/18/2014 02:39:00 am
I can usually find it, but then it likes to disappear on me. >.> 3/18/2014 02:39:35 am
That's because you've been MIA on the internet. Aside from nail posts, I haven't seen much of you. 3/22/2014 02:23:09 am
*hugs* I've been struggling with staying positive lately, too, and sometimes you do just have to push everything else to the side and focus on that. Because if' you're not being positive, then you're not passionate about what you're doing, and it's not going to be as good. Leave a Reply. |
