Question this Week: Why did you start blogging?   When I first heard about blogging, I was in my last year of high school and just starting to begin my passion of reading again after reading Twilight. I know! But I would like to thank this book because it opened me up to new genres and meeting the blogging community. I first started by just posting small reviews up on Chapters Indigo. One day I noticed that someone already read a book not even out so I clicked on the link that was provided and saw that they created a book blog. So I immediately opened up blogger and began my blog here at Stuck In YA Books. This journey has been the greatest because I've become friends with many bloggers, authors and even making connections with publishing companies which was very hard for me to do at first because finding the publicists were a bit challenging at first. My first e-galley site was Galley Grab that was featuring Simon Schuster books then I eventually found Netgalley a

She knows how many footsteps there are between the bus stop and home. She knows she likes working in The Buttered Bun tea shop and she knows she might not love her boyfriend Patrick.

He knows everything feels very small and rather joyless now and he knows exactly how he's going to put a stop to that.

Title: The Problem with Forever  Author: Jennifer L. Armentrout  Pages: 384 Genre: Contemporary  Publisher: Harlequin Teen  Release Date: May 17, 2016 Summary (Goodreads) For some people, silence is a weapon. For Mallory “Mouse” Dodge, it’s a shield. Growing up, she learned that the best way to survive was to say nothing. And even though it’s been four years since her nightmare ended, she’s beginning to worry that the fear that holds her back will last a lifetime. Now, after years of homeschooling with loving adoptive parents, Mallory must face a new milestone—spending her senior year at public high school. But of all the terrifying and exhilarating scenarios she’s imagined, there’s one she never dreamed of—that she’d run into Rider Stark, the friend and protector she hasn’t seen since childhood, on her very first day.

Starflight by Melissa Landers (Launch Release Blitz)

Image
Hey there, booklovers! I’m author Melissa Landers, and I’m thrilled to announce the release of STARFLIGHT, the first in a brand new sci-fi series from Disney-Hyperion. I originally pitched this story to my editor as “Overboard” (one of my favorite romantic comedies) meets “Firefly” (an amazing show that was tragically cancelled after one season). STARFLIGHT follows the misadventures of Solara Brooks, a penniless felon who indentures herself to her high school nemesis, Doran Spaulding, in exchange for passage to a new world. But when Doran’s memory is temporarily erased, Solara convinces him their roles are reversed—that she’s the master and he’s the servant—and leads him onto a renegade spaceship, where intergalactic shenanigans ensue. STARFLIGHT is very different in tone from the Alienated trilogy, but the story is still filled with all the things I love: humor, heart, and adventure. What do reviewers have to say? “Get ready for blast-off! Action-packed and utterly
