Prize pack #1 will included the following books along with some other goodies:
Five More Minutes More
“I play the Five Minutes More game. Five minutes. I can stand anything for five minutes. Even my father being dead.”
D’Arcy desperately wants her father’s death to have been an accident. Then she learns the truth. Why would her father choose suicide? Why didn’t she see the signs? How will she manage alone? Then D’Arcy becomes friends with Seth. Now will things get back to normal or will she have to call on strengths she didn’t know she had to make a new kind of normal, five minutes at a time?
"Teachers, for the most part, don’t know anything about real life. If they did they’d have much better jobs than teaching geometry and the history of the stupid middle ages to a bunch of kids who aren’t listening anyway.”
Kevin Frasier is in a new high school—his fourth so far. When he falls in with Nick and his friends, Kevin ends up going along as they bully and threaten their way through the school. Then Nick starts tormenting Erin. When she stands up to him the harassment takes a dangerous turn and Kevin is forced to be responsible for his choices.
Prize Pack #2 will include the following books along with some other goodies:
Saving Grace
“I looked over toward the counter and saw a police officer standing there with his back to me. I couldn’t breathe and my feet seemed to be stuck to the ground."
Fifteen year-old Evie has kidnapped the child her father made her give up for adoption. On the run with her reluctant boyfriend and a sick baby, Evie struggles to figure out what being a mother really means.
Rules For Life
Rules # 41: If it’s dirty, wash it. If it’s hungry, feed it. If it’s broke, it’s Jason.
Izzy’s mother had a rule for every circumstance, and since her death Izzy has used those rules to get by. But now her dad is planning to get married—to a woman Izzy barely knows, her friend, Mrs. Mac, is sneaking contraband sausage and her big brother Jason is…well, being Jason. As Izzy tries to fix things she discovers that sometimes you have to make up the rules as you go along.
A touching, often funny story of love an acceptance, Rules for Life is a reminder that while we can’t choose the family we were born with, we can choose the people we take along for the ride.

Wow, those books all look great! I'm pretty sure I'd end up bawling my eyes out if I got prize pack #2...and since I can never decide if that's a good thing or not (my husband always tells me to avoid something if I know it's going to make me cry, but sometimes you just need to get some tears out, ya know?) I'll prolly just put my name in for both prize packs!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great contest!
PS: I love the form idea, by the way! I'm not sure how much trouble it is for you to make it, but it's such a great idea. Much safer!
ReplyDeleteI have not read any of these books, but I would love to.
ReplyDeleteThey all look really good! I have never heard of them before but now I guess I will add them to my To Read list.
