Blogiversary & New Contest


Wow I can't believe I have been blogging a year! I first started blogging back in March, which is the same time I started reviewing books for TeensReadToo.com My blog was born out of a way to keep track of the books I read, even the ones I didn't review for TRT, so I could go back to them when I needed good book suggestions and booktalk ideas. Now I have followers, author interviews, contests and tons of books to read, plus an awesome community of book lovers that I'm so glad I connected with!


So, to say thanks for making this blog a wonderful success, I am hosting a new contest!! The contest will run between now and April 1, to celebrate the start of a new blogging year.

I am giving away three prizes this time.

The grand prize is a pack of books (the first three books I ever reviewed on my blog) and a $10 gift card to Amazon.com The books are:



The Wedding Planner's Daughter by Coleen Murtagh Paratore

Saving Zoe by Alyson Noel


Second & Third Place Prize: $10 Gift Card to Amazon.com


So, how do you enter? (Much like always!)


+1 for every comment you leave between now and April 1st


+1 if you leave me a comment on this post telling me about a book blogging I need to check out and add to my list of blogs to read (can be your own)


+2 for following my blog


+3 if you post about this contest somewhere else


Open to U.S. residents only please


Thanks for being so awesome and good luck!! Winner will be posted April 2.

Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell

Rating: 5/5 Stars Genre: Realistic Fiction Release Date: 2/26/2013 Add to Goodreads About the Book: Eleanor and Park are both misfits. When new girl Eleanor sits next to Park on the bus, they don't want anything to do with each other. But over the course of the school year, things change. It starts with comic books and becomes a friendship and a romance that the two will never forget. You never forget your first love. GreenBeanTeenQueen Says: Have you ever had a book sit on your shelf that you've heard so much hype about? And you think that books sounds like it would be right up your alley, but you're in a reading slump and you're afraid to give it a try unless it fails? I knew Eleanor and Park sounded like my perfect book, but I was in such an after committee slump that I even though I knew this book would help, I just didn't want to be disappointed. I should have known better because Eleanor and Park was perfect and everything that I had hoped it wou

Post Downton Abbey Reading List

Downton Abbey is over (with a shocking and frustrating ending!) and now I'm suffering Downton Abbey withdrawal. I've got a reading list full of books that I hope will satisfy my post-Downton Abbey cravings and I thought I'd share what's in my pile and get suggestions for other after Downton reads. Here's what I hope to be reading this year (a mix of YA and adult titles):                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  A couple Julian Fellowes reads:                And a few re-reads:                    Edited to add: What's on your Post-Downton Abbey reading list?
