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.
I'm first! Thanks kids for waking me up at the crack of dawn!
I have to admit, I wasn't taken with the book. Then I watched the trailer. Now - yes, please!
On 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.)
The idea of multiple personalities sounds like a fascinating read. Thanks for all the fun giveaways this month.
This looks like a great read! Thank you again for this contest...I've had the most fun! ktmixon315
Should be interesting to read.
Hope your having a wonderful mini vacation!
This 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??
what parent hasn't felt a little crazy at some point?
Sounds like a fun and exciting book to read.
Thanks 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!
So you don't want to know something personal about us today? Hmmm... LOL! (and thank goodness, I think)

This has been on my list for a while. I am very excited to read it.
from 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.
Only having one "voice" in my head, I'm always interested in those who have to abide by "committee". Sounds like an interesting read.
I like to laugh out loud when I read and this one sounds like it will do the trick!
This book sounds like a fun read....thanks for the great march giveaway, stephanie. :)

Hi MaNiC... This book has been on my NEED TO READ list from your BLOG... but for whatever reason (perhaps i feel crazy enough myself!), I keep skipping it (sorry Shana!) BUT NOW - after the book trailer... THERE WILL BE NO MORE SKIPPING!
Can't wait to read!

I'm crazy without all those voices in my head, I can't imagine having all those people in my head too!
I love multiple personality stories and this one sounds really engaging.
Would love to read!
try try again. . .lol
It does sound like crazy! :)
Seriously, with all that has gone wrong this week I could use a good book to read. That and a lot of wine.
Looks like a good one - we are all a little crazy. Patti Cole

I have never even heard of a book trailer but that was hilarious. OK you've got my attention. Does the noise in my head bother you??
Sounds interesting. Always intrigued with other peoples' minds.
Oooh. My interest is piqued.

That sounds completely fascinating.
-Bee H.
"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.
I'm oddly fascinated with mutliple personalities. Sounds very interesting!! Lauren Royall
I'd never heard of a "book trailer" before seeing your site. This book sounds good! I love dark comedies. Hope you're having fun on vacation!
Would love to read it...
Jen Fee 9476
Aren't we all a little crazy :)
Angelini197
I have always been fascinated by anything to do with multiple personalities - It is just such an intriguing concept - multiple people sharing a body
fanficfan44
This one looks REALLY interesting! -Jenni(fur) N.
I 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.
aw you didn't have us work for this one? :) I think it's fun!
We can all identify with a little Crazy...
Kristen Y.
oh, this looks good! :)

kathygold9778
Hey, I'm crazy. Sort of.
Kirsten 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.
Sounds like it will be an interesting read. I would love to read it!
Yes, I love book trailers and this one is well done.
I'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.
Can't wait to read this!
thanks again for the contest. please put my name in the hat.
I hate those voices in my head.
Oh 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!
This one sounds really good! Thanks for the recommendation AND the contest!
oooh...I'm very intrigued! Sounds like a great read!
Crystal717
CrazSounds crazy funny I'm in
I'm late but I'm here!! Debydew110
Fingers Crossed!
Sounds very interesting! Can't wait to learn more about the voices... :)
Krystal Dyer
multiple personalities...who could ask for anything more? :)
All of my personalities want to read this . . .
Not all the voices in my head are bad. They are excited about this book.
I've always found multiple personalities an intriquing topic. I would love to see where the author takes it in this book!
5 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.
I love dark comedies.
I 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
This looks like such an original story...can't wait to read it!
I LIKE CRAZY!! Thanks for the great giveaways!!
Suzebomb - The Book Bag

Seriously.. Sounds like Crazy sounds like something I must read!
Sounds like a crazy good read. Dawn Geske
I really want to read this book now!
Looks like a good book!
I don't want to leave just any old boring comment. So I will tell you a few random things about myself...
I'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!
Kristi Hooke
Might be too late, but nutella and a spoon go together like red wine and dark chocolate.
This one sounds so different than anything else I've read! I'd love to read this :)
