About the author
Julia Debski
2 books23 followersJulia Debski was born in Warsaw, Poland in 1996. Her family moved around a lot during her childhood before finally settling down in Chattanooga, Tennessee. It wasn't until the 8th grade that she found her passion for writing. It was thanks to a particularly inspiring English teacher and a story that needed to be told. So she began to write, and she never stopped.
Four years later she found herself with nearly a dozen started novels and short stories. As junior in high school she was introduced to Greg Wilkey, a self-published independent author of four novels. He soon became a mentor to her as she worked to write and self-publish her own novel. After two years of hard work, and a nearly a year of mentorship The Hazel Tree was published in October 2013. Her second work, a collection of poems and short stories titled Casket of Stars, was published in August 2014.

I got this book through goodreads first reads
Before I start I have a message for the author if you're reading this : sorry that the review is so late but thank you for the Christmas card, much appreciated :)
To be honest the thing I liked most about this book is the cover, it was smooth and soft and the design was great. When I was at school everyone kept asking if they could have a look because it looked pretty!
I liked the stories much more than the poems but that's pretty much a constant with me, though the writing was somewhat childlike it was still enjoyable and I read to whole book in about an hour. If you're looking to read this then I would go ahead, especially if you like poetry, or stories about family.

I received a free copy of this in exchange for an honest review. I enjoyed this little collection of short stories and poems, but didn't feel that it was great. Full review on my blog here:http://courtneysreads.blogspot.com/20...
