REVIEW: Don’t Call Me Baby by Gwendolyn Heasley

JiaC Reviewsblogging / Contemporary / family relationships / Harper-Teen / mothers and daughters / Young-Adult1 Comments

Dear Ms. Heasley, The premise of your novel intrigued me. What does happen when the subject of a mommy blog grows up? If it’s embarrassing when your mother whips out your baby pictures to show your friends, how much more so when those pictures are plastered all over the internet ... more >

REVIEW: Sorrow’s Knot by Erin Bow

JiaB+ Reviews / Recommended ReadsFantasy / female friendship / ghosts / mothers and daughters / Native American / scholastic / Young-Adult9 Comments

Recommended Read

Dear Ms. Bow, It’s not often that we stumble across North American-based fantasy, let alone North American-based fantasy that draws upon indigenous cultures. I admit this quality was what drew me to your novel. Like I’ve said in the past, when it comes to certain things, I’m easy. Sorrow’s Knot ... more >

Dear Ms. Chen: I’m a huge fan of your previous novels. I loved Girl Overboard and I adored the prose and language in North of Beautiful. It’s been a couple years since you last published a novel, and I definitely felt that lack — particularly since I think contemporary YA ... more >

Dear Ms. Woods: I’ve developed a deep appreciation for New Zealand/Australian set books and when I saw this in the Samhain ARC listing, I requested it immediately.

REVIEW: Bleeding Violet by Dia Reeves

JanineA ReviewsAfrican American / Contemporary / good characterization / Good-Dialogue / good-narration / interracial-romance / mothers and daughters / Texas / Violence / Young-Adult16 Comments

Dear Ms. Reeves, I was casually perusing the Book Smugglers' blog when I came across this midyear list of their favorite books of 2010 and saw that Ana had given your debut, Bleeding Violet a grade of perfect 10. Since the book's genre (YA with a paranormal flavor) is one ... more >
