1. More love for Kathleen Shoop

 “I absolutely adored the inner viewpoint of a high school that is having some issues and a first year teacher trying to find alternative ways to get these children to learn… definitely a good read.” – Kritters Ramblings

2. In your opinion…

There were a lot of good responses to our Love and Other Subjects inspired question which was, “If you could have any job you wanted, what would you do?” Our favorite was from Jessica Lynn.

 

3. A sneak peek at next week’s book

 Loaded with twisted humor and pathos, Jess Riley’s Mandatory Release is a darkly comic, unexpectedly sexy love story about broken people putting themselves back together and learning that no matter what you lock up—a person, secrets, or your heart—sooner or later, everything must be released.

“Bursting with heart, humor, tenderness and characters you won’t forget, Jess Riley’s Mandatory Release isn’t just a perfect summer read, it’s mandatory.” – Allison Winn Scotch, author of the New York Times bestseller Time of My Life
