True Review

I'm so happy to have Sophie Jordan, author of Firelight, here with us today as part of the Teen Book Scene Firelight Tour! Don't leave after the interview because I have something exciting for you!! ******** Question1) There have been many shapeshifting books out and about, what gave you the idea to switch things up and introduce dragons into the mix? Answer1) Well, you just said it! :) I approached writing this book with the attitude that if I was going to write another shapeshifter story I better switch things up. That put the burden on me to come up with something unique, but I wanted to give readers a different experience – as well as myself – in writing it.

Have you heard about this yet? If not, you should head on over to C.J Redwine's blog now to read all about Skip a Starbucks Day ! Here's some deets(but def. read the whole post): C.J and her family have been in an adoption process for the past 5 years trying to bring home little Johanna Faith. In that time frame, adoption costs have rised dramatically over in China. $8000 more is now needed to bring her home. All we are asking is instead of spending $5 on a Tall Latte with blabbity blah blah blah, you donate that $5 instead. I just donated and I'm so glad to hear that the adoption account has now hit over $2000 from everyones donations. That's so amazing! I really hope we can all help bring Johanna home. Not only are you super awesome if you donate to this amazing cause, many bloggers and authors are helping out by offering up some great prizes. You can see everything over at C.J's blog so go check it out now! Thanks for listening guys!!! Sherry <3
