WHAT I'M READING...

ELEANOR & PARK by Rainbow Rowell. I'm finally going to learn what all the buzz has been about.

I'm still listening to the third book in the RUBY RED trilogy by Kerstin Gier and translated by Anthea Bell which I can't find the cover for in Indiebound. I've loved this series!

NORTH OF NOWHERE by Liz Kessler. I enjoyed it!

FREAKBOY by Kristin Elizabeth Clark. What a power and beautifully written book! It's a must read for all of humanity!

Click the covers to check them out at Indiebound.

MY BOOKS!
Remember, one of the reasons I create my coloring pages is to draw (ha!) attention to my books. Click a cover to check them out!

CALL FOR ART!
Have you or your children colored or created something using one of my Coloring Page Tuesday images? If you post it on a blog, you can also post it to my gallery and maybe I'll share your creation next week! (It doesn't have to be a card - I like 2-year-old scribbles too!)

Did You Know...
      I create my coloring pages for teachers, librarians, booksellers, and parents to enjoy with their children, but also to let the public know about MY BOOKS. I hope you'll take a moment to check them out and spread the word! Word of mouth is the best advertising I can get, so I'm counting on YOU!
