Winner Announced!
Congrats to Jenn3128
You have won The Education of Hailey Kendrick!
Please email me so I can have Eileen mail you your book!
And everyone, I am taking a little break over the weekend (a getaway with my BOYFRIEND aka Mr. MaNiC!), but not to worry, books are scheduled to post still, but I won't be announcing winners over the weekend. What that means is you'll still be able to enter for any books that I haven't chosen winners for yet (from Thursday's entry on)! I'll choose winners probably Monday. Thanks for all your FUN answers to the questions I've been posing -- it's been a treat for me to read them! I MAY do some incentive book prizes for some of the creative ones, and for those of you who said you like chocolate and peanut butter, I may be the only person in THE WORLD who does not like that combo! Weird, I know!
Book: The Education of Hailey Kendrick
Author: Eileen Cook
Website: http://www.eileencook.com/index.php
OK guys, here’s one for the Young Adult in all of us! I love me some YA reading, and I love me some Eileen Cook, who is also another Friend I Know In Real Life!
If you are so inclined (bored, whatever), you may read all about the night I met Eileen Cook which also includes Jess Riley, Jen Lancaster and my BBFF Swishy, who some of you may know from reading my blog. Swish is very close to having her own book published and believe me, I will be screaming from the rooftops when it does get published! Read about the night I met Eileen here. (And incidentally, this is the night I met Jen Lancaster too because I know so many of you came via Jen. This is also the night I ate a truffle off the floor in a bar. Would YOU let a perfectly good truffle go to waste? I think not. That night will live in infamy, my friends!
Have you realized I digress A LOT when doing these book reviews? Sorry.
Back to Eileen!
I met Eileen also from the Yahoo Chick Lit Group I believe and she is also one of those women who DID NOT GIVE UP! This is now her fourth book, and she didn’t start out in Young Adult! Meeting Eileen was a BLAST, and she’s fun and generous and hilarious and kind and all of this shows in her writing as well.
The book she is giving away today is THE EDUCATION OF HAILEY KENDRICK, and here’s a blurb on it, because honest disclaimer, I have not had a chance to finish it, but I will tell you this, Eileen WRITES like a teenager!
Hailey Kendrick always does exactly what’s expected of her. She has the right friends, dates the right boy, gets good grades and follows the rules. But one night, Hailey risks everything by breaking a very big rule in a very public way … and with a very unexpected partner in crime. Hailey gets caught, but her accomplice does not, and Hailey takes the fall for both of them. In the process, she loses everything – her best friend, her boyfriend, her popularity, her reputation. But some secrets are worth keeping, no matter the cost, or are they?
You’ll also want to check out Eileen’s other books – her women’s fiction – hilariously light-hearted Unpredictable, and her YA What Would Emma Do? And Getting Revenge on Lauren Wood.
Her blog is exceptionally funny – you can find it at Eileen's Blog/.
And secret bit of trivial information, Eileen's dad is kinda sweet on me... hee hee hee!
