I'm back! I bet you didn't think I would be until next month, eh? Well,
wrong you were. Anyhow, update about yesterday's post on Laura L. Smith.
She also judges many of the contests on Go Teen Writers,
my very favorite blog on the entire universe of the internet. I always
seem to forget that. I guess you never really think of the judges while
you're completed focused on whether your entry was one of the top picked
or not. Just thought I'd add that.
And now, today on a different author and a different book from the Playlist Young Adult Fiction.
"Glass Girl" by Laura Anderson Kurk!
About the book: Where do I ever start? Let me just say, it was terrific. I couldn't stop reading. Anyway, it's a re-write of her book that was published in 2010. It has the same title, and you can find it on Goodreads.

Laura Anderson Kurk is one of those lucky
souls who gets to live in a college town. In fact, it’s her college
town—College Station, Texas, where she drove in under cover of darkness when
she was way too young and proceeded to set the place on fire. She majored in
English for the love of stories, and due to a massive crush on F. Scott
Fitzgerald. She continued on to receive an advanced degree in literature. She
writes contemporary books for young adults, a genre that gives her the freedom
to be honest. Her debut novel Glass Girl is an unconventional and
bittersweet love story, and its sequel Perfect Glass makes long-distance
love look possible.
She’s crazy about her husband and her two
ginger-headed kids. Laura blogs at Writing for Young Adults (laurakurk.com). She’s a featured columnist at Choose
Now Ministries, where she writes On Hollywood.
On twitter, she’s @laurakurk.
Just an FYI, I'll talk more about the books on April 1st and after. Sorry I'm not giving much information. I'm just waiting until we have more to give about it. Which will be April 1st.
God bless!

I simply adore the cover and am curious to dive into the book soon!
ReplyDeleteThe cover is lovely. I couldn't love it more.
DeleteHave I ever picked you to win at a GTW contest, Katelyn? I hope so! I never see the names of entries, just the outstanding writing. I couldn't stop reading Glass Girl either. You're right - definately terif! Just like you :)
ReplyDeleteI've been a finalist two or three times. I was second place and honorable mention on one. I think you may have judged that one, but I can't remember now. Aww, thanks. You're making me blush. :3
DeleteI can't wait to head to the library to try and find it!
ReplyDelete:D Yep! The re-write comes out April 1st, if you'd rather wait for it. I haven't read the first copy, so I might go to my library and try to find it, too.
