Becky Mrs Condit Reads Books's review of Tales from Foster High (Tales from Foster High, #1-3):
"
Highly Recommended Book!
My name is Lucky and I don’t read Young Adult books. They’re made for kids and no adult in their right mind would seek them out. Mr. Tom Webb told me to read Tales From Foster High. I did. After reading it I can only say… Cl... " Read more of this review » |

“I don't remember the moment I knew I was broken...but I do know the moment I began to feel fixed. It was the day the green eyed boy fell in love with me.”
― John Goode, Maybe With a Chance of Certainty
― John Goode, Maybe With a Chance of Certainty
“I mean honestly, who just sits around in a house with a bunch of short guys waiting for their prince to come? So your mom is a bitch and wants to kill you because her mirror told her to? Cry me a river why don't you? Your big plan is sitting around cleaning house waiting for the other shoe to drop? And speaking of shoes, everyone has been picked on by mean girls. You do not wait for some old lady to pop in and transmogrify some innocent rodents just so you can sneak in to a dance under false pretenses. And let's say you do sneak in. For the love of all that is holy take your mask off and look the guy in the face and say. “Hi, I'm Cindy from down the street, I have this thing at midnight. Can we do coffee later?” This nonsense with a shoe and searching the entire village for one girl, it's crap.”

OMG--I finished Distant Rumblings---oh John...speechless--just speechless! Review posted--heading to Amazon to post there!!!
She's got her nose stuck in my 61K short story doing a much-needed beta read right now (which has a tight deadline.) But I have no doubt you'll get a patented Sammy-loves-this-book review, which will be worth waiting for.

Thanks so much for the friend-ad. Now whats this rumor I keep hearing about a 3rd Foster High book??
John wrote: "Well it is always a blast when your writing touches someone. So thanks for being vocal about it. Not many people are that positive any more."And honestly? That is a shame--I sincerely believe that when a writer decides to share a bit of his or her imagination, a bit of their heart and soul with us--well that at least demands a respectful reply--even if it was not my cup of tea--respect is required---when did we stop teaching children that concept??
Well it is always a blast when your writing touches someone. So thanks for being vocal about it. Not many people are that positive any more.
Well, it kinda goes with out saying you made my day--I know--I'm easy!!! And yes--like the book whore I am I have purchased all your books in the last 24 hours--shameful I know--but what can I say--a stalker must be true to her chosen stalkee!!!Need I say it?? I think I should--thanks for the friend request--you honestly did make my day!

Hey John,thank you for the fiend invite. As has been said before: I enjoyed Maybe With A Chance Of Certainty quite a bit.
And I'm looking forward to the sequel, which will be the next book I'll start to read (after the one I'm currently reading, that is).
