The paperback edition of Mary Hogan's PRETTY FACE is out this month. It's the story of Hayley, a girl who's always the friend--never the girlfriend. Until a summer in Italy changes her self-perception. She's curvy, not fat. Pizza isn't evil. And life is so much more than one-size-fits-all.
To celebrate the release, we're hosting a giveaway that includes all of Mary's YA titles (that's SIX total!).
One luck readergirl will win the collection, which includes:
Pretty Face
Perfect Girl
Serious Kiss
Susanna Sees Stars
Susanna Hits Hollywood (2008 winner of NAPPA Gold Award)
Susanna Covers the Catwalk (British edition)
Quite a set, no?! To enter, just be a follower of this blog, and leave a comment below telling us what the last book you LOVED was. We'll pick one random commenter as a winner on Pretty Face's release date, March 24th.
Good luck!
Update: Katie is the winner! Yay, Katie!

This is on my google reader, so I definitely follow you guys =)
The last book I loved? Hmmm... I'd say Paradise Lost by Kate Brian. The Private books are intriguing to me... they're part of the whole boarding school/rich kids/bitchy girls phenomenon, but I think they're much much better than a lot of the ones out there. And thankfully my best friend is completely obsessed with them, so whenever a new one comes out I get to read it right away. ;)
I just followed the blog. And the last book I loved was Change Of Heart by Jody Picoult, even though when I finished half I was pretty sure I would never read it again.
Thanks for the giveaway : )

We need more books with stories like this one. The stick thin heroine is unappealing to me!
The last great book I read was The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson. It was a beautiful story (maybe not for the younger readers though).

I'm reading Donna Jo Napoli's THE SMILE just now and really really really enjoying it, but since I haven't finished, it's too soon to say I love it.
So the last book I loved--loved?
Shannon Hale's THE GOOSE GIRL. I wasn't expecting to like it a whole lot, let alone love it.
Ick, it's been a long time since I've LOVED a book. I think the last was THE SEASON by Sarah Maclean. So good!

I didn't know you could follow the blog... I'm a follower now! ;D
The last book I read and loved was "I am the Messenger", by Markus Zusak.
It gave me lots of things to think about...
Hum... I live in Brazil, hope it's not a problem...
It's a tie - If I Stay by Gayle Forman made me weep the entire read while filling me with an enormous sense of hope and Going To Far (Jenn Echols) which was so thought provvoking, satisfying and emotionally resonant. Love and adore them both for different reasons
I have yet to read the Susanna series, but I've read the others, each of which is a stand-alone title. I really liked Perfect Girl and especially recommend it to high school freshmen.
I recently finished Love You Hate You Miss You by Elizabeth Scott and loved it, loved it, loved it! I was lucky to get an early copy. Look for it in bookstores June.
The last book I loved was Fade by Lisa McMann.
I was a huge fan of Wake and couldn't believe that a sequel could be just as good, if not better, than the original. Definitely looking forward to the third book in the series!
I'm following. I just finished Willow by Julia Hoban and it was amazing. Definitely recommended. I have this HUGE Giveaway going on if you buy the book...definitely check it out if you want this book. :)

Follower. I just finished a book called "Passive Aggressive Notes". It was funny. I'm reading the latest Darwin Awards book right now.
The last book I read that I thought was awesome was Charollete Bronte's Jane Eyre. I loved that story even though it's older. It's a perfect book that keeps you on your toes and it's so inventive and romantic in a weird kind of way. I think everyone should read it once in thier life time becasue after thatyour whole world will turn upside down and books will be more then books.
I follow you on my Google Reader.
The last book I absolutely loved was Charles de Lint "The Onion Girl".
Thanks for the opportunity! Indigo

To Kill a Mockingbird. The book may sound really dull since it's a classic. However, this book teaches so many life lessons.

I wonder if there is any money left in writing books. I used to love writing westerns, but no one buys them anymore. They just go to free book quest and steal them. Its awful.
The last book I loved was The Forest of Hands and Teeth.
