I would NEVER say that your mom is a liar LOL but you're right about the other thing, too: Everyone loves a ghost story!

What was I thinking?! I'm totally adding it to my TBR now! :D<br /><br />I didn't realize she is the same author who wrote Getting Revenge on Lauren Wood. I haven't read that book yet either, but I have it on my TBR. I love books with mean girls, and I can't resist the cover. <br /><br />I like the sound of the teen con artist book, too.

No, definitely would not call your mom a liar, so clearly this book is beyond amazing:) I got to visit Vancouver once in high school and it was just gorgeous.

YES! This is...A spotlight for Canadian YA authors?! YES! This is the BEST! You're brilliant, Z. <br /><br />I have a sever case of reader ADD, too. Though I still need to expand on it. I tend to get stuck on certain genres. And I love funny, especially in the more 'heavy' or emotionally charged books I read. I think adding a bit of humor to any situation helps relieve some tension. <br /><br />I love the premise for Shady Sadie. It almost sounds like that film, Matchstick Man (which I loved), but with a really interesting twist. <br /><br />P.S. I definitely wouldn't want to accuse your mom of being a liar. :)Missie, The Unread Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548256640926555361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-19516451821247481502012-01-30T07:04:53.963-05:002012-01-30T07:04:53.963-05:00Thanks for the giveaway and for opening it to worl...Thanks for the giveaway and for opening it to worldwide entries.<br /><br />Eileen is a new author author to me and it was good to learn a bit about her in the interview.<br /><br />Carol T<br /><br />buddytho {at} gmail DOT combuddythttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09947015243406321163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-80196033151471240582012-01-30T05:03:12.927-05:002012-01-30T05:03:12.927-05:00Thanks for this international GA ^^
