Thank you for helping to try and get books into the hands of the children in our country. At the low income school I work at we give away books to the children that need them as often as we can in order to help support them on their journey to literacy. If we all work together we could help raise the lireracy rate in the United States.

It makes me happy to know that a successful author has taken the time to notice this condition in America. I have been giving books to low income families for a long time. I was also part of a non profit organization that taught adults how to read.

Good! I like this one better. Graphics are nice. Easy to read. Now get some blog posts in (as if you're not all ready busy).

That's too bad about your daughter. It just amazes me how horrible kids can be to each other (and I suppose adults too!). Thanks for the comment; the article should be out in a couple of weeks.

Linked here from FB. Would like to read your article. I have a teen daughter who has endured some bullying. It was awful at our local high school a couple of years ago.

I know personally how hard this can be for anyone. I too lost my daughter although not in the same way. I found out 2 days before I was induced that she would die after birth within a day or so. If you every need anyone to talk to, I'd be more than willing to listen. I know that it never goes away. My heart goes out to you and your family.

I love the personal ones, too. I've been getting more and more of the personal letters (though rejections) with tips and advice. It makes me feel as if it is worth all the work just to recieve that acknowledgement.

Love the look of this blog! Wow, PHD, that's fantastic. Yeah, I am not a great test taker, I barely made it past the GRE and in my interview to get into grad school (University of Iowa) the professor asked me, "So, what happened with the GREs?" right off the bat. LOL.

I had great grades, just horrible test scores, so they saw it wasn't an indicator. . . So, you know what...do not worry, it'll work out. You'll do great on the GRE!! I'll add this to my prayer list, okay?

Thanks, Kathleen. I haven't been able to figure it out yet :( But hopefully I'll get it eventually.

Just to let you know, I clicked the link on your old blog, and it didn't take me here. I had to type in your URL to find your new site.

SWEET site, Sandi. Love it. :-)

I agree with you, Kathleen! It's nice to meet another grown up who likes her as much as I do :) I just love her writing style because it's mature sounding (not too teen slangy :-)).

Thanks for the book recommendations. Sarah Dessen is amazing. I open one of her books and it's like being back in high school again.

Mechelle--Yes, you are right, I did read a lot of MG when I was in junior high. I need to start reading it again :)

Loved, the humor in New Moon too. And yes, I agree with Lynn that Taylor L is really nice to look at! :)

I saw New Moon twice. It's fantastic. Jake still can't act, but he sure looks nice. The third one comes out in June I hear. Can't wait.

I've been watching all that Harlequin stuff. Crazy times out there. I'm just hanging on for dear life and waiting out the storms. :-)

I would venture to guess that you HAVE read some middle grade books. Isn't Roald Dahl considered middle grade, for example? And Beverly Cleary? I'm sure you've read at least one of their books, right? Back when you were a kid?

I loved New Moon too. I think the thing that made it such a fun movie was the humor. It didn't take itself as seriously as the first Twilight movie. They also picked some of the most key scenes from the book to include in the script.

How is the publishing life treating you? Any news?

Side Note: Christian literary agent Rachelle Gardner is asking her blog followers "What are your favorite blogs?"

I listed this blog among my favs.

I'm drawn in by the cover art on Lost It. The way the boy's legs aren't showing the kind of enthusiasm that the girl's legs are, leaves me wondering if this female protagonist isn't asking for trouble.

Maybe I'm delving too deeply to find hidden info in the cover art, but I teach reading, and one of the skills I try to teach my students is cover-art-analysis. It can help us decide whether or not we want to buy a novel, you know what I'm saying?
