Flashback Friday: May 30, 2014

May 30, 2014 by Jaime Leave a Comment


What is Flashback Friday you ask?  

I know… I know… As if you don’t have a million and one memes to follow! BUT we’re hoping that you might want to participate in just one more!  

If you’re like us, you read a lot… you add a ton to your ‘to be read’ lists and you sometimes forget about some amazing things because they get pushed down either your favorites list or that pile of books you need to read.  That doesn’t mean those books are no less amazing!

This is a way for us to highlight books that are older that maybe don’t get as much recognition now because they have been out for a while.  Books that we read and loved or books that have been on our To Be Read lists for ages, but we just haven’t gotten around to them yet.  

On to the details – Pick a book… any book that meets the following criteria:  

1.  Must have been published at least 2 years ago or 
2.  Preferably is still in print or available to read

Grab our button or make your own then simply feature it on your blog… See the example below, and then come back here and link us up!! AND Spread the word!!

THIS LULLABY
By: Sarah Dessen
Publication Date: March 8, 2004

I love Sarah Dessen and I’m not sure why I haven’t read this one yet.  Going through my to read list is reminding me of all the amazing books I have to read yet!  Hopefully I will get to this one soon! 

When it comes to relationships, Remy doesn’t mess around. After all, she’s learned all there is to know from her mother, who’s currently working on husband number five. But there’s something about Dexter that seems to defy all of Remy’s rules. He certainly doesn’t seem like Mr. Right. For some reason, however, Remy just can’t seem to shake him. Could it be that Remy’s starting to understand what those love songs are all about?

ABOUT SARAH


Sarah Dessen grew up in Chapel Hill, North Carolina and attended UNC-Chapel Hill, graduating with highest honors in Creative Writing. She is the author of several novels, including Someone Like You,Just Listen and Along for the Ride. A motion picture based on her first two books, entitled How to Deal, was released in 2003.

Erin’s Pick
GRAFFITI MOON
By: Cath Crowley
Publication Date: August 1, 2010

This book will forever be on my favorites list.  Crowley made me love everything about this story and Jaime recently bought the audio book and we loved everything about that too!  Everything happens over the course of one night and the story follows Lucy and Ed.  There is so much I love about this book that I can’t even get into it – just trust me, if you haven’t read this, you should drop everything and go do it now.

Graffiti Moon
Lucy is in love with Shadow, a mysterious graffiti artist.
Ed thought he was in love with Lucy, until she broke his nose.
Dylan loves Daisy, but throwing eggs at her probably wasn’t the best way to show it.
Jazz and Leo are slowly encircling each other.
An intense and exhilarating 24 hours in the lives of four teenagers on the verge: of adulthood, of HSC, of finding out just who they are, and who they want to be.
