Fresh Writes Spotlight: Amy Holder

Amy Holder is a new teen fiction author born and raised in upstate New York. Her love of books began at a young age and never left. This eventually led her to want to write her own wonderful stories instead of settling for only reading the words of others. This led to the creation of.....
THE LIPSTICK LAWS.

At Penford High School, Britney Taylor is the queen bee. She dates whomever she likes, rules over her inner circle of friends like Genghis Khan, and can ruin anyone's life with a snap of perfectly manicured fingers. Just ask the unfortunate few who have crossed her.
For April Bowers, Britney is also the answer to her prayers. April is so unpopular, kids don't even know she exists. But one lunch spent at Britney's table, and April is basking in the glow of popularity.
But Britney's friendship comes with a high price tag. How much is April willing to pay?
Amy Holder has written a book that combines common teenage issues with humor in a way that every teenage girl will be able to relate to. This book is available to buy now  for $8.99 and is on preorder now for the kindle. It will be delivered to the kindle on April 4th. Get yours from Amazon.com, B&N.com, Borders.com or indiebound.org.

Books A Million Run

So today I went to Books A Million for the first time ever. It was pretty nice in there and and filled with every book you can imagine. i spent a good hour in that place and could have spent another hour there if I hadn't gotten hungry. I went up and down the isles looking for interesting books to add to my TBR (to be read) list. I came out with a pretty long list of books to read and some I'd love to review for you all. I read all types of books but I really do love YA books (young adult) the best, so that's what most of the books on my list are. The next step is to figure out which books and series are available for the kindle and then read those first. I prefer to read on the kindle than to read an actual book. It's more convenient to me but that's just my opinion. Like I say, it doesn't matter how you read as long as you do.

Recommendation Wednesdays!

It's raining where I am today and it's the perfect weather to sit in bed with a cup of mango tea and read on my kindle. I love all types of books and don't stick to one or two categories because there's a world of great books out there. So today, I'd like to know what books you like to read.  What books would you like to share with the world and have us read? I may even do a review of some of the books you suggest. So don't be shy.... tell the world what you think we should be reading!

What I'm Reading

I've recently started a new book named Life From Scratch by Melissa Ford. It's basically about a lady named Rachel Goldman who is recently divorced and living on her own. She is taking a break from her job and living off the money she has saved. When she realizes the money's going faster than she planned she knows she has to change her habits. She learns to cook for herself and gets back into the dating world and starts a blog to document it all. I'm only a few chapters in but this book is very lighthearted with some good humor placed in there. I'm loving it so far and hope you will too. I downloaded this to my kindle a while ago when it was free but it's only $8.59 right now if you want to read along with me.
