OKAY WE'RE BACK!
We've taken a break from the teaching's of things to know in the blogging world for a super awesome review & giveaway! Don't worry Elana, Alex will be back tomorrow & friday for more blogging advice!
It's going to be a Sunshiny Day... wanna know why?
Cause I'm sharing about Rose Cooper's debut novel Gossip From The Girl's Room!!!
Here's a synopsis:
Gossip from the Girls’ Room fills readers in on all there is to learn about middle school life at Middlebrooke, where Sofia has her very own blog and discusses all the juicy gossip that comes out of the Girls’ room; read along to find out just what happens when class is not in session.
In Sofia's words . . .
Mia St. Claire is only the most popular girl in all of Middlebrooke Middle School. For three very obvious reasons:
1. She's very rich.
2. She has tons of money.
3. She can buy anything and everything she wants. And she does.
I'm sure people like her for other reasons too, but none of those reasons are obvious enough for me to really know. Or care about, for that matter.
Here's my thoughts:
Sofia Becker is looking to be super popular with the best.blog.ever! To get there she must find out things that other people don't know, and there is only one place to find that... the girls room.
She learns things uber-popular Mia, who she secretly despises, and later tries to befriend. Along with a few other secrets she finds she begins posting them to make her way to the top of the food chain.
Of course we all know that where you are at in Middle School and High School is where you'll stay, but Sofia's climb to the top is funny and sweet. Your typical Middle Schooler misplacing notebooks, losing & making up with friends, and working her hardest to be popular, you can't help but love this read!!!
In the end sometimes gossip will get you in trouble. Must read to see!
With fun words like Sunturday and awesome illustrations you'll be swept of your feet in awesomeness as this book takes you on one wild ride in Sofia's Middle School days.
So what better way then to have a giveaway! Up for grabs a Pre-ordered copy of Gossip From The Girls Room!
Here is how you enter:
Follow Me & Rose
Sidebar Us
Blog About Us
Comment - Now these are super special comments. You must leave one for both Rose and I. They must be SUPER creative and about the opposite person you post on. For Rose's blog the rumor must be more about me, and for My blog the rumor must be about Rose.
Example:
Rose's blog: Jen won Prom Queen after saving a cat from a burning building, but her boyfriend Billy broke up with her and decided to date Rose instead because he hated cats.
Jen's blog: Rose was invited to a pool party at Jimmy Parker's place but Jen stole all her clothes & bathing suit from the bathroom and Rose had to wear an ugly brown one piece instead.
Make sense?! So hop to it, comment on my blog and run over to Rose's and comment there. THIS IS MANDATORY, if you don't GOSSIP you won't be ENTERED.
How awful is that? I'm giving you permission to gossip about Rose and I... why wouldn't that be fun?

Writing lovin contest!!!!
Here's some 500 follower love!!! A contest! I would never let you down and I figured rather than a friday to start the contest we'd do Monday!!!
Todays book... The Truth Tellers Tale by Sharon Shinn!!!
So without further ado... The Write Source has some super cute writing exercises and I will give you the sentence and you create a fun story... it doesn't have to be long, just creative! I'll have a few judges behind the scenes to pick the favorites and I'll notify you of the win via email (so be sure to leave your email as well!!)
TODAY'S EXERCISE:
I couldn’t believe that my mother volunteered me for that job.
(I'll join in for fun! So here is mine!)
"You want me to what?" I asked
"Go around and pick off the gum from underneath the tables"
She smiled and handed me a white bucket, she didn't wait for me to reply, instead shot off to the kitchen to prepare lunch for all the middle schoolers. What a nightmare, my mother set me up again. She was still upset at the last job I quit, but I couldn't help that the jobs all sucked. Nothing compared to this. She had told me it was either this or worse, I was beginning to regret my decision, her just saying worse terrified me but now knowing I had to pick gum from underneath all these tables, what could possibly be worse?
So there is mine!!! I decided that it was pretty gross and kind of funny too so I hope to have sparked some fun ideas for all of you!!! I really hope you enter!!! The winner will be chosen on Friday! So to enter you want to do the writing exercise, give a little blog shout out or sidebar and leave your email!!!
