Friday Five

Been working on a 4th grade writing project which include grading essays based on a holistic approach. This has been both interesting and also kind of draining.

Also got feedback from J on the first 52 pages of my sekrit project. She says she LOVES the premise. Now I just need to rework the beginning and do some more plotwork.

Here's my Friday Reads:

1. POSSESSION


This is a dystopia where a girl questions the 'Thinkers' and ends up with a guy who's not all he seems to be.

Review coming soon.

2.


This one looked interesting and was only $5 for the Nook e-book. So I downloaded it. The first chapter was pretty good.

3.


Just got this one today. It's about a girl who catches her boyfriend with the high school hootie mama three days before their drama club's trip to Italy.

I'm loving the writing so far and it's a welcome change from all the dystopias and paranormals I've been reading.

4.


Yes, it's true. My first publisher, Virtual Tales, has closed it's doors. But I found a new home for it! Muse It Up publishing is going to do a re-issue of EARRINGS. I'm excited as this means it'll be updated with a better editing job plus a new cover! Who says you can't make lemonade out of lemons! Plus I'll get to work with Lea, who's fab.

5.


And I can't wait for the latest from Meg Cabot! I preordered the Nook version. It comes out next Tuesday. This is my guilty read of the week!

**Guilty pleasure:

Since it's Easter and I'm on a diet to lose weight I need to watch exactly what kinds of treats I can eat. I decided to get one of the kid's Easter treats from Sees filled with hard suckers and a couple small chocolates.
