We're excited to have three copies of Flirtin' with the Monster (May 2009) to give away this week, courtesy of BenBella Books.Our featured author Ellen Hopkins served as editor to a host of other writers as they explore her books Crank and Glass, from the straight truth on the physical effects of methamphetamine addiction to the psychological consequences of keeping secrets (and how Hopkins' books have encouraged so many teens to reveal theirs).
Flirtin with the Monster includes an essay by Ellen's real-life daughter (the basis for the character of "Kristina") that tells her version of the events that inspired the books--along with perspectives from "Scott," "Jake," and ten-year-old "Hunter," the baby from Crank.
Good luck, readergirlz!
PS-The winner of the final week of the 5-week contest, as announced during our LIVE! chat last week, is Paradox! Congratulations, P!

I receive the newsletter. I'd love to delve into Wintergirls.
I'd like to delve into the new Sarah Dessen book and the new Alice book.
Honestly, I'd love nothing more than to delve deeply into Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher. Someone once commented and said that it's a story that needs to be told, and I agree hundred percent.

Does following through blogroll count? (I have been following for awhile but not through Google. If so, please tell me. =) Though you would have to leave a message on my blog if I forget to come back!)
Hm, I would say Cold Hands, Warm Heart. Amazing book. =D A lot of controversy involving organ donations and all.

I just followed the blog, though I thought I already had, lol.
I'm getting ready to delve into Impulse- it finally came in at my local library. For future books, I can't wait to delve into Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen and As You Wish by Jackson Pearce, as well as a LOT of books, lol.
I am a follower and I'd love to dive further into "North of Beautiful" or "Willow", both are excellent books!
Thanks so much,
