About Me

North Carolina
I'm married to a saint of a man. I have two sons who aren't, but I love them anyway. And I'm no saint either. I am messy, tend to keep things much longer than necessary, love dogs and can't watch Disney movies with animals in them. I still cry at Puff the Magic Dragon. I love books because I can get lost in someone else's world and forget my own. Mine's not so bad, but who doesn't want to escape every once in a while. I just want to escape a little more often than most others I know, so I'm here to find my own kind. Book lovers! I have a degree in English Literature from the University of Florida and read and write every chance I get.

The Star- Help Get it Published in English

This is a Spanish language book called "The Star" by authors
Javi Araguz and Isabel Hierro

I received an email asking that as a YA blogger I request that it be published in English so I could read it. Well, of course I'm going to investigate before I decide to do that.

I  read the book blurb on the English website here.
It's called YA, dystopian, fantasy, greenpunk (that gives me something to wonder about) romance and adventure.

On the same page, you can request the book be published in your language.  After watching the book trailer and reading the first chapter, I did just that.  Maybe you'll be interested in doing it too.  If so, just push the purple here above and fill out the form.  I'm including the trailer below.

  1. O LOVED that trailer. Book trailers are usually pretty naff but this was great. I want the book, which is what the trailer's supposed to do. I'm off to press the purple button :) X

  3. Perfect timing for this book. My daughter is graduating with a minor in Spanish and she's been looking for some lit. I will recommend this to her right away.

  11. Wow! What an awesome trailer! Thanks for letting us know about this! I don't think my Spanish is good enough for me to be able to read it in Spanish so yes, let's get it published in English! LOL

  12. Looks interesting! I'm always interested in sci-fi novels from countries other than the US, so of course I requested it in English!

  13. I want to know about greenpunk too. Sounds like a grunge/punk rock band name.
