As you all know, I'm a proud member of the Class of 2k12. We are a group of debut authors of young adult and middle grade books who came together as a marketing collective and through the course of the year became friends, confidantes, and - I hope - a lifelong support network. These authors are great people. And now you all get the chance to find out what great authors they are, too. There is something for everyone here - middle grade verse, deep dark YA mayhem, faeries, astral projection, history, legend, elephants, war... Need I go on?
The Class is hosting a huge end-of-the-year giveaway on the class blog, and I'm doing my bit by spreading the news and giving you the chance to win here, too! The giveaway closes on the 12th of December! I regret to say, it's open to US and Canada only - our coffers can't spread to sending 21 books abroad.
Check out the Rafflecopter to find out which books will be coming your way if you win, and then enter! You want these books....

Bonus! I'm also posting over at the Corsets, Cutlasses and Candlesticks blog today - hop over and find out what a Tudor feast was like - and be thankful you don't have to cook (or eat) one yourself!

My favorite book store memory is the day I took both my daughters to half price books and told them they could pick a couple books each and my oldest who at the time was 11 or 12 picks up Hamlet and buys it. I was so proud of her. It made me feel good as a mother that I am teaching my children good literature.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous story, Amber! You gave your daughter an amazing opportunity and she took it - congratulations!
DeleteI remember listening to other people read stories to kids at the library.
ReplyDeleteI don't really have one particular memory that comes to mind, but I do remember when I was younger, my mom use to always take me to the library for readings or for books in general. Afterwards, she would take me out to this bakery down the street, and she'd read to me while we ate sweets. She use to (and still does) call them our Mother-Daughter dates. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific mom you have, Lena! And what a great tradition.
