I&#39;ve just gotten a YA novel published and I was wondering if there&#39;s a way I can talk to a blogger here about it to see if anyone would be interested in receiving a copy to look over? (Also, thank you for blogging about this Francesca Lia Block book! I love her, and Weetzie Bat.) If anyone&#39;s interested in talking further, my email is ami_manenk@yahoo.com. Thank you!<br />My book is called A House Afire and it&#39;s about a teenage girl who can, well, breathe fire. Just to give you an idea.Chutzpahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17174368667951995131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36710721.post-4641433827714525182007-04-24T06:52:00.000-04:002007-04-24T06:52:00.000-04:00I've read your review, and now I can't wait to read Alice Hoffman. I like the divergence she seems to use as well as these themes you've noted.LisaDanuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15424727057821782909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36710721.post-3402732409336668162007-03-26T23:15:00.000-04:002007-03-26T23:15:00.000-04:00This looks great, too!

Thanks for the recommendation. Hope you'll come check out my blog.

Hardcore manga fans prefer the orignal style of reading it right to left instead of the westernize versions that are redone in the left to right format.LGBeaghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03183044932433762572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36710721.post-1166661364009977812006-12-20T19:36:00.000-05:002006-12-20T19:36:00.000-05:00Just wanted to follow up on this post. It's true that this book has been around for quite some time, but it still remains unknown to many people. If you are one of these people, READ IT NOW!<BR/><BR/>I am relunctant to say this, but it is the BEST book I have ever had the pleasure of reading (this includes Harry Potter!). <BR/><BR/>The movie will attract a lot of attention to this book, though I fear some of it will be negative. If you thought the Harry Potter book burning parties were bad...<BR/><BR/>I can't remember where I heard the following, but it's been said that this book is a fantasy/sci-fi children's version of "Paradise Lost." There is a strong presence of anti-organised religion, not to mention characters such as daemons, witches and agels, and subtly addresses topics such as original sin, homosexuality, sexuality, and more... definitely a title that should be kept in YA, not Junior.<BR/><BR/>Having said this, there are many younger readers that will enjoy this book. They do not have the "educated imagination" to read the multiple layers, but they will become instant fans (especially if they liked Harry and LOTR).<BR/><BR/>Ok, enough rambling... can you tell that I am passionate about this book? And I absolutely CANNOT wait for the movie!!!.:: lady of the beasts ::.http://www.blogger.com/profile/01539239367356373080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36710721.post-1165599165106428372006-12-08T12:32:00.000-05:002006-12-08T12:32:00.000-05:00I really appreciated this book as well, but don't you think it's for a younger audience than teens? I have a hard time imagining anyone older than 13 reading this book.Freyjahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07022170287841470700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36710721.post-1165098668706818392006-12-02T17:31:00.000-05:002006-12-02T17:31:00.000-05:00I recently read twilight a couple of weeks ago and found it to be an absolute page-turner. I couldn't put it down, and ended up reading extremely late into the night. Last week, I finished the second one, New Moon. I thought it was a bit slow, and the loss of Edwards presence from the main part of the book definetly brought it's intensity down. I am still, however, in love with series, and look forward to reading Eclipse. For now, I am content just surfing blogs such as these. Thanks for posting.<BR/><BR/> - BelleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36710721.post-1164897154025618992006-11-30T09:32:00.000-05:002006-11-30T09:32:00.000-05:00How similar is it to Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36710721.post-1164135970293066322006-11-21T14:06:00.000-05:002006-11-21T14:06:00.000-05:00Both I and my 14-yr old loved this book and its' followup, New Moon. Just the right blend of romance, suspense and character development.

While I do love Winnie the Pooh, something tells me this book has nothing to do with his pal "Tigger"... Oops!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
