BOOK: Sounds Like Crazy
AUTHOR: Shana Mahaffey
"Sounds Like Crazy is as a darkly comic and ultimately healing story about Holly Miller, an Emmy Award winning cartoon voiceover performer who has actual voices in her head, multiple personalities who make her career a huge success, and shield her from a terrible secret in her past."
In SOUNDS LIKE CRAZY, Holly Miller has FIVE people living inside her head.
When I first discovered this book online, I HAD TO KNOW MORE. So I contacted Shana and asked if I might be able to share Holly and the five OTHER people who live inside Holly’s head with you all. She thankfully agreed!
There’s the Faceless Boy. The prayerful Silent One. The protective Sarge. The rotund Ruffles – what a character! And high-maintenance Betty Jane. And these five characters are the Committee who makes Holly’s life hell … but, Holly cannot function without them.
You’ve got to see this book trailer, which I think is one of the cleverest trailers I’ve ever seen. And I ADORE book trailers when they work. And this one does!
WATCH THE BOOK TRAILER HERE!
Take a ride with Holly, where EVERYTHING Sounds Like Crazy! Such a fun read – and you can win it here, simply by leaving a comment! So, you know what to do, and you know how to do it!

Ok, I am hooked. I want to know Holly's dark past. I wonder which personality will be the most willing to share.
ReplyDeleteI'm first! Thanks kids for waking me up at the crack of dawn!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit, I wasn't taken with the book. Then I watched the trailer. Now - yes, please!
ReplyDeleteOn another note, I've been sharing your site with my friends. We're always looking for new recommendations on good books to read!
I've always been glad there is just me in my head, but have always loved to read about multiple personalities. (Tim Powers wrote a great one in Earthquake Weather.)
ReplyDeleteThe idea of multiple personalities sounds like a fascinating read. Thanks for all the fun giveaways this month.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great read! Thank you again for this contest...I've had the most fun! ktmixon315
ReplyDeleteShould be interesting to read.
ReplyDeleteHope your having a wonderful mini vacation!
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds like a page turner.
This does sound amazing. I'm totally intrigued by how one has a "Silent Prayer" as a voice in their head. Is it a monk who broke their vow of silence? One of those people who follow you forcing their flower on you at the airport? My grandma who seems to speak only in psalms??
ReplyDeletewhat parent hasn't felt a little crazy at some point?
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun and exciting book to read.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great book giveaways.
-Donna W.
I'm so intrigued by this book! I cannot think of any that I've read that are similar to 5 characters as the main one!

ReplyDeleteThis has been on my list for a while. I am very excited to read it.
ReplyDeletefrom someone who believes we all have many voices in our head and just choose to ignore most of them, this sounds like a fascinating read.
ReplyDeleteOnly having one "voice" in my head, I'm always interested in those who have to abide by "committee". Sounds like an interesting read.
ReplyDeleteI like to laugh out loud when I read and this one sounds like it will do the trick!
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds like a fun read....thanks for the great march giveaway, stephanie. :)

"Sybil" has always been one of my favorite stories, I'd love to win this book. Don't we all have an extra voice or two in our heads? I know I do.
ReplyDeleteI'm oddly fascinated with mutliple personalities. Sounds very interesting!! Lauren Royall

ReplyDeletefanficfan44
This one looks REALLY interesting! -Jenni(fur) N.
ReplyDeleteI love how life can be: Even in the dark, broken aces, we can adapt and thrive. It doesn't negate any damage that has been done but life persists. Thankfully.

ReplyDeleteWe can all identify with a little Crazy...

ReplyDeletekathygold9778
Hey, I'm crazy. Sort of.
ReplyDeleteKirsten R.
I would love to read this book. There was a tv show I'm unsure if it's still on air that featured a woman who had multiple personalities. While this is a very serious condition, it made light of the situation and showed some other ways to deal with the situation. Sounds like a great read.
ReplyDeleteSounds like it will be an interesting read. I would love to read it!
ReplyDeleteYes, I love book trailers and this one is well done.
ReplyDeleteI'm interested on this one - but also sorta freaked out to read anything along these lines given that Mister Man told me this week that he hears voices in his head telling him things.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to read this!
ReplyDeletethanks again for the contest. please put my name in the hat.
ReplyDeleteI hate those voices in my head.
ReplyDeleteOh my this sounds like it would be very entertaining and will open the readers eye to the facts of mental health. I would love this!
ReplyDeleteThis one sounds really good! Thanks for the recommendation AND the contest!
ReplyDeleteoooh...I'm very intrigued! Sounds like a great read!

ReplyDeleteKrystal Dyer
multiple personalities...who could ask for anything more? :)
ReplyDeleteAll of my personalities want to read this . . .
ReplyDeleteNot all the voices in my head are bad. They are excited about this book.
ReplyDeleteI've always found multiple personalities an intriquing topic. I would love to see where the author takes it in this book!
ReplyDelete5 people living in her head?!?! Man, I have enough trouble keeping up with just my own voice, let alone the voice of 4 other people.
ReplyDeleteI love dark comedies.
ReplyDeleteI do find this book interesting and I loved the trailer. only because we don't have to do anything different on these comments I'm going to say: Pick me, Pick me!! Brenda L B
ReplyDeleteThis looks like such an original story...can't wait to read it!

ReplyDeleteI don't want to leave just any old boring comment. So I will tell you a few random things about myself...
ReplyDeleteI'm an avid reader of all things, but especially chick lit and historical fiction. My thumbs do not match (and no, this does not interfere with my reading habit)! I live in San Antonio TX. My husband and I are so obsessed with our 2 dogs that it's probably about time we start having children (just to deal with the dog obsession). I hope this entertained you!

Might be too late, but nutella and a spoon go together like red wine and dark chocolate.
