What I’m Reading: Eternal Eden by Nicole Williams

1. Dr. Andrea Bonior in USA Today

Dr. Andrea Bonior – author of THE FRIENDSHIP FIX – was featured in USA Today with a great article on interacting with co-workers via social media. Here is an excerpt from  the article:

“It happens easily enough: You and a co-worker begin chatting via Twitter or Facebook.

“Pretty soon, you’re sharing more personal information online with this person that you might otherwise in your workplace cubicle.

“You may even confide some thoughts you’ve never revealed to a significant other. Your connection with this colleague grows stronger and you feel closer to this person with every message.”

2. HOTEL NO TELL and CRUSH CONTROL on SheKnows

Daphne Uviller’s HOTEL NO TELL is featured on SheKnows.com as one of their 10 paperback books for the beach this summer.

Jennifer Jabaley’s CRUSH CONTROL is also on the site as one of the top YA novels to beat summer boredom.

Both of these articles were included in the SheKnows Summer Book Guides – where you can find all of the hottest books (and ebooks) to add to your reading list this summer.

3. Elise Allen on Story Siren

Elise Allen is up on The Story Siren today with a fun POPULAZZI contest for those who pre-order the book.

More about POPULAZZI

What would you do if you had the chance to erase your past and reinvent yourself as the person you’ve always wanted to be? Would you grab it? Would you stick with it, no matter what the consequences?

Cara Leonard always wished she could be one of those girls: confident, self-possessed, and never at a loss for the perfect thing to say. One of the Populazzi.

It always seemed impossible… but now could be her chance.

When Cara moves to a new school just before junior year, her best friend urges her to seize the opportunity and change her life… with the help of The Ladder. Its rungs are relationships, and if Cara transforms herself into the perfect girlfriend for guys higher and higher on the Popularity Tower, she can reach the ultimate goal: Supreme Populazzi, the most popular girl in school.

The Ladder seems like a lighthearted social experiment — a straight climb up — but it quickly becomes gnarled and twisted. And when everything goes wrong, only the most audacious act Cara can think of has a chance of setting things even a little bit right.
