September Author in the Spotlight Wrap-up + Giveaway

September Author in the Spotlight Wrap-Up + Giveaway

The Unbearable Book Club for Unsinkable Girls Giveaway Ends TONIGHT at midnight.  Hurry up and enter.

The end of September has arrived and I would like to entend my birthday wishes to my niece who turns 17 today.  Happy Birthday Jasmine.  This month has been busy for sure and it didn't help that I came down with bronchitis and had a fever and a horrible cough for over a week.  Thank goodness, I am feeling better.  We have been having beautiful weather here in Minnesota and the leaves have not started turning colors here yet so technically it feels as if Fall has not arrived.  I'm spending a lot of time outside reading and soaking up the sun and enjoyed this month's read, The Unbearable Book Club for Unsinkable Girls by Julie Schumacher.

I love the creativity that Julie Schumacher incorporates in her novel The Unbearable Book Club for Unsinkable Girls.  The characters are interesting, the plot is stimulating and I felt like an honorary member of the book club.

Julie Schumacher Author Interview

It has been a pleasure to work with Julie Schumacher this month and I would like to thank her for being the September Minnesota Author in the Spotlight.  I met Julie Schumacher at the Twin Cities Book Festival in October, 2012.  I love reading books about book clubs and I love young adult fiction and am so glad I was able to feature Julie on BookSnob.  Please check out Julie's website at http://www.julieschumacher.com/
