You Owe Me a Murder Blog Tour! Review and Q&A with Eileen Cook

Title: You Owe Me a Murder Author: Eileen Cook Release Date: March 5, 2019 Publisher: HMH Books for Young Readers Pages: 368 Source: ARC provided by Raincoast Books Add to Goodreads | Amazon.ca | Indigo Overall: 4 STARS SUMMARY   Seventeen-year-old Kim gets more than she bargained for when she is set up for murder. Perfect for fans of One of Us is Lying , E. Lockhart, and Gillian Flynn. 17-year-old Kim never expected to plot a murder. But that was before her boyfriend dumped her for another girl. Now, Kim’s stuck on a class trip to London with him and his new soulmate and she can’t help wishing he was a little bit dead, even if she’d never really do that.  But when Kim meets Nicki, a stranger on the plane who’s more than willing to listen to Kim’s woes, things start to look up. Nicki's got a great sense of humor, and when she jokes about swapping murders, Kim plays along—that is, until Kim’s ex-boyfriend mysteriously dies. Blackmailed by Nicki to fulfill her end of the deal,...

Author Book Picks with Miranda Kenneally


I'd like to welcome Miranda Kenneally to the blog today, as part of the Catching Jordan blog tour, to share some of her favorite books and authors with us!


Growing up in Tennessee, Miranda Kenneally dreamed of becoming an Atlanta Brave, a country singer (cliché!), or a UN interpreter. Instead she writes, and works for the State Department in Washington, D.C., where George W. Bush once used her shoulder as an armrest. Miranda loves Twitter, Star Trek and her husband.

I read tons of books. I have an addiction!

I love anything by Melina Marchetta, Sarah Dessen, Simone Elkeles, Kristin Cashore, Jennifer Echols, Sarah Ockler, C.K. Kelly Martin, Courtney Summers, and David Levithan.

Here are some of my recent favorites:

The Piper’s Son by Melina Marchetta

Raw Blue by Kirsty Eagar

And here some great books of 2012 I’ve already had the opportunity to read. You shouldn’t miss any of these:

Trish Doller’s Something Like Normal, about a Marine (Travis!) who’s just returned from Afghanistan with PTSD.

Jessica Spotswood’s Born Wicked, about a girl trying to hide that she and her sisters are witches. If their secret is discovered by the priests of the Brotherhood, it would mean an asylum, a prison ship—or an early grave.

Allison Rushby’s Shooting Stars, about a teen paparazzo who gets the job of her life, but it means betraying the only star who’s ever been nice to her. And he’s hot! :)

Coming in 2013 is Sarah Skilton’s Bruised, about a girl with a black belt in tae kwon do who freezes up during an armed robbery, and is left to wonder if martial arts failed her or if she failed it.

I’m on Goodreads all the time – feel free to see what I’m reading!

Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing your book picks with us, Miranda! Those are some great choices, and I can't wait to check out your 2012 and 2013 recommendations.

Miranda's debut novel, Catching Jordan, is in stores now!

Review: Uncommon Criminals by Ally Carter

Title: Uncommon Criminals Author: Ally Carter Publisher: Disney Hyperion Publication Date: June 21, 2011 Series: Heist Society #2 Links: Amazon | Goodreads Source: Purchased Katarina Bishop has worn a lot of labels in her short life life. Friend. Niece. Daughter. Thief. But for the last two months she’s simply been known as the girl who ran the crew that robbed the greatest museum in the world. That’s why Kat isn’t surprised when she’s asked to steal the infamous Cleopatra Emerald so it can be returned to its rightful owners. There are only three problems. First, the gem hasn’t been seen in public in thirty years. Second, since the fall of the Egyptian empire and the suicide of Cleopatra, no one who holds the emerald keeps it for long, and in Kat’s world, history almost always repeats itself. But it’s the third problem that makes Kat’s crew the most nervous and that is simply… the emerald is cursed. Kat might be in way over her head, but she’s not going down without a fight. Af...

Waiting on Wednesday: The Raincoast Books TeensRead Winter/Spring 2016 Preview Edition

Last Saturday, I was invited to attend the Raincoast Books TeensRead Preview of their upcoming Winter and Spring 2016 titles at the Toronto Reference Library. Hosted by Vanessa of Ampersand Inc. and Jenn from Lost in a Great Book in Toronto, it was my first time taking part in the preview! I've missed out participating online the past couple of years, so I was really glad I could finally join in the excitement! We watched a live stream of the event from the Vancouver Public Library, and for those bloggers who couldn't make it either location, they were invited to watch via Google Hangout. Raincoast Books also very generously provided each of us a tote bag filled with two ARCS, buttons and posters! The Raincoast Books team introduced over 30 highly anticipated YA titles to us, and here are my top picks to add to your TBR! Title: Truthwitch (The Witchlands #1) Author: Susan Dennard Release Date: January 5, 2016 Publisher: Tor Teen Add to Goodreads   On a continent ruled by ...
