With Mary Lindsey, Bailey Hewlett (ibbookblogging) and Lindsay Cummings, and all of them are incredibly kind and lovely |
In the meantime, I’ve teamed up with the YA Chicks and many participating authors on a global campaign to encourage readers, writers, students, and teachers to share pictures all of the places—both ordinary and extraordinary—where they are reading and writing. This is open to all readers/writers of both middle grade and young adult books!
You can also take part in...
A MONSTER GIVEAWAY!
I’ll be giving away a signed hardcover of COMPULSION plus a lovely bunch of swag plus a Skype visit.
Three plantations. Two wishes. One ancient curse.
All her life, Barrie Watson has been a virtual prisoner in the house where she lives with her shut-in mother. When her mother dies, Barrie promises to put some mileage on her stiletto heels. But she finds a new kind of prison at her aunt’s South Carolina plantation instead—a prison guarded by an ancient spirit who long ago cursed one of the three founding families of Watson Island and gave the others magical gifts that became compulsions.
Stuck with the ghosts of a generations-old feud and hunted by forces she cannot see, Barrie must find a way to break free of the family legacy. With the help of sun-kissed Eight Beaufort, who knows what Barrie wants before she knows herself, the last Watson heir starts to unravel her family's twisted secrets. What she finds is dangerous: a love she never expected, a river that turns to fire at midnight, a gorgeous cousin who isn't what she seems, and very real enemies who want both Eight and Barrie dead.
"Darkly romantic and steeped in Southern Gothic charm, you'll be compelled to get lost in the Heirs of Watson Island series." -- #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Jennifer L. Armentrout
"A fresh twist on the Southern Gothic — haunting, atmospheric, and absorbing.” -- Claudia Gray, New York Times bestselling author of A THOUSAND PIECES OF YOU and the Evernight and Spellcaster series
"Compulsion is a stunningly magical debut with a delicious slow burn to be savored. I want to live in this story world!" -- Wendy Higgins, USA Today and NYT bestselling author of the Sweet Evil Trilogy

ReplyDeleteHonestly, I love any genre so long as the book seems god. However, I do find joy in Science Fiction, Fantasy, Thriller, Horror, and oddly enough, Romance. Thanks for this fabulous giveaway!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI think it's depending on what I'm in the mood for. By the way; I love paranormal, science fiction and mystery. Those genres always catch my attention really easy!
ReplyDeleteYoung Adult novels are my absolute favorite. There's just something about the worlds these authors create that I adore getting lost in. But Young Adult Fantasy has a very special place on my heart. The less likely it is to happen in real life, the more I love it. Xx
ReplyDeleteI like many but I tend to read them in spurts. YA, NA, dystopian, UF, Sci-Fi, historical romance, and a few mysteries.
ReplyDeleteI depends on the book, but I absolutely love fantasy. There is something about make-believe worlds, dragons, and magic that make me happy.

ReplyDeleteI really like YA, especially fantasy, then SF, historic. But I can usually read nearly any genre as long as it is well-written and original.
ReplyDeleteI tend to stick with paranormal or fantasy books. :)
