I've been blogging all week and have updated my recommended reading list on my blog. It's now called the YA library so if you want other YA books to read besides mine of course, I've created a pretty extensive resource.
So yes Just Be will be out soon!  There are 2 excerpts posted on the blog right now plus next week I am showcasing the cover  and announcing a contest. If you've read Freshman Focus, you'll do well. 3 winners for the contest will receive an autographed copy of Just Be. I might do something big for one grand prize winner.
Oh and today's blog has information about The Princess and The Frog as well as my thoughts about Sweet Valley High being re-released but changing Jessica and Elizabeth from a size 6 to a size 4. |
Looking forward to the sequel!

There is a lot of YA literature out there for her now. As I put together the library, I learned of so many different authors out there. Walter Dean Myers has been putting out books since 1975. Sharon Draper is a favorite among teens as well.
Your Soror and my author buddy, Paula Chase, has a great series out there for teens. Also Rita Williams Garcia (I interviewed her this year ) is an AKA and Varian Johnson, another author buddy, is an Alpha. There are a few other Greek authors too, but I'll leave you to that research. 
So yes, go forth and get your read on.

Your book is on order!! Lol--I showed my roommate the description, & she's already trying to jack it! I also picked up one by Varian Johnson, Sharon Flake, and one from the Drama High series before I picked my sister up to stay over. She's halfway finished with one. Thanks for the help!
