Book Bites: YNR Silver Series
When an adult picks up a junior fiction chapter book and is transported back to a time when nothing else mattered but page turning until the end, you know you're on a winner. Why? Because for me, that time, when I was so utterly absorbed by books my surroundings, time and even food failed to penetrate my intense committment to story, was one of the most joyous in my life.

Relish its unpredictability. Cherish its exclusivity. Accept its brevity. But above all savour its delicious exquisiteness. Do not let it go cold!”

“If you knew what was going to happen, if you knew everything that was going to happen next—if you knew in advance the consequences of your own actions—you'd be doomed. You'd be ruined as God. You'd be a stone. You'd never eat or drink or laugh or get out of bed in the morning. You'd never love anyone, ever again. You'd never dare to.”

“And he uncovered in us a curious need: that we each secretly wanted him to remember us the most. It was strange, both vital and flawed, until I realised that maybe the need to be remembered is stronger than the need to remember.”

Hi there Elizabeth!
Many thanks for getting in touch and your acknowledgement of my reviews. Alas, yes I am a woman of many hats which does prevent me from wearing the one I like best workwise - writing. However, I do cover a few Wombat Books titles and in fact am one of their blog reviewers, so if you'd like to send the odd copy through, I'll add it to my list to look at. Can't promise the time it will feature at this stage I'm afraid as I've a few of my own deadlines to meet. Hope this helps. Dimity
Hi Dimity,You are a prolific reader and writer, which is why I'd like to ask you if you'd like free copies of my YA fantasy novels to perhaps write a short review for me? I realise everyone is so busy and you're probably the same, so it's okay if you can't. I work long, funny hours too and barely have time to write. But please let me know if you can and I'll send you some books. They are called: Firelight of Heaven and Greenheart of the Forest, published by Wombat Books. Many thanks if you're able to read and write a review for them. Elizabeth xx
