Shrinking Violet
Shrinking Violet! This is it!

Blurb:
High school senior Teresa Adams is so painfully shy that she dreads speaking to anyone in the hallways or getting called on in class. But in the privacy of her bedroom with her iPod in hand, she rocks out -- doing mock broadcasts for Miami's hottest FM radio station, which happens to be owned by her stepfather. When a slot opens up at The SLAM, Tere surprises herself by blossoming behind the mike into confident, sexy Sweet T -- and to everyone's shock, she's a

Books with wishes
I ALMOST FORGOT TO BLOG ABOUT ONE WISH. By Leigh Brescia.
So I know that AS YOU WISH has very little to do with ONE WISH, but Leigh is my Wish-Related-Title-Sister-from-Another-Mister so I can't believe I almost forgot to mention her.
You are about to be very sad though (as am I) because Amazon has SOLD OUT of Leigh's book. What's up with that, Amazon? Why all the wish hating? Here's the blurb, so you can buy ONE WISH immediatly when it becomes available again--

Line Edits & More Prize Stuff
Look how well I'm doing with my more-vlogs vow!
SILVER PHOENIX FTW
Cindy Pon's debut, SILVER PHOENIX, is out!
Cindy is great. She does things like Chinese Brush Painting. This impresses me because I only do things like American Stick Figure Drawing. Here is an example of Cindy's Chinese Brush Painting:
How adorable is that panda? I have never drawn anything that cute in my life.
There is also a place in the book called the Palace of Fragrant Dreams, which just sounds awesome, if you ask me. I haven't read SILVER PHOENIX, because it hasn't been out very long yet,

My Big nose & Other Natural Disasters
This is a book by Sydney Salter:
These are the reasons you should read it:
-The title is awesome, but the COVER is especially awesome. This book could have totally been a generic-cover-girl kind of book, but it's all Barbie fabulous.
-Don't even PRETEND you didn't have a secret "if plastic surgery weren't going to, you know, potentially kill me, I'd get this procedure done" dream in high school. Or maybe you still have that dream. Either way, it makes Jory totally relatable.
-The mother has all this

I am a vlogging FIEND I tell you...
Amazon. Youtube. Goodreads. All these sites have those innocent little star rating systems. But those tiny stars are powerful enough to make any author lose her mind.

These aren't really secrets
Okay so here are some secrets:
1) I have no patience whatsoever. Which means that immediately after finishing a video, I load it to youtube. BUT in the interest of not spamming my blog with a million videos at once, sometimes I don't mention that they're up for a few days, so things can get spread out.This means if you're one of my youtube subscribers, you know there are new videos up before other people.
Since I can't just NOT say anything, sometimes I twitter about videos. SO if you're a twitter
