Blogiversary & New Contest


Wow I can't believe I have been blogging a year! I first started blogging back in March, which is the same time I started reviewing books for TeensReadToo.com My blog was born out of a way to keep track of the books I read, even the ones I didn't review for TRT, so I could go back to them when I needed good book suggestions and booktalk ideas. Now I have followers, author interviews, contests and tons of books to read, plus an awesome community of book lovers that I'm so glad I connected with!


So, to say thanks for making this blog a wonderful success, I am hosting a new contest!! The contest will run between now and April 1, to celebrate the start of a new blogging year.

I am giving away three prizes this time.

The grand prize is a pack of books (the first three books I ever reviewed on my blog) and a $10 gift card to Amazon.com The books are:



The Wedding Planner's Daughter by Coleen Murtagh Paratore

Saving Zoe by Alyson Noel


Second & Third Place Prize: $10 Gift Card to Amazon.com


So, how do you enter? (Much like always!)


+1 for every comment you leave between now and April 1st


+1 if you leave me a comment on this post telling me about a book blogging I need to check out and add to my list of blogs to read (can be your own)


+2 for following my blog


+3 if you post about this contest somewhere else


Open to U.S. residents only please


Thanks for being so awesome and good luck!! Winner will be posted April 2.

Bedtime Books for the Weary

Today I'm over at the ALSC Blog talking about some of my new favorite bedtime-themed books!

13 District Mockingjay Tour: District 4

Hello and welcome to District Four. I'm sorry that Finnick isn't here to be your host. I know as a member of District Four I should be cheering for my own tribute, but after watching the last two Hunger Games play out I have fallen in love with Peeta Mellark! Why do I love Peeta? He's smart, he's funny, and he's charming. He stands up for what he believes, he's loyal and he's not afraid to do what's right. He's sensitive and caring but can also be strong and kick butt. He fights for Katniss and with Katniss. Peeta is a great diplomat and he knows how to bring people together. He can also be sneaky to get what he wants. Plus, did I mention he can bake? And he's hot!! But it's not just me! We have an underground club of sorts here in District Four-Seafaring Librarians for Peeta! Here's what some of our members had to say about their love for Peeta: - Team Peeta!! I love their relationship because they balance each other perfectly. Where
