Freebie Friday w/ Shannon Delany!!!!

Freebie Friday is all about the WOLF love! We'd like to introduce you to our friend, author Shannon Delany who's making today's Freebie Friday possible! Here's what Shannon is giving away:

So. Not only do I adore Cassandra Clare’s books, but I’ve also become quite attached to the group running this site because of their willingness raise awareness for great causes, the fact they get involved and because of their honest (and professionally stated) book reviews.

Therefore it’s only natural I do a contest here during my book’s birthday month (which is *this* month)!

Contest begins today. Like, now. Contest ends June 13 at 11:59 pm EST. Prizes ship June 14.

What the heck could I win, Shannon?!

Top Prize:

The book, 13 to Life, signed (by me, to you or someone of your choosing).

13 to Life mini poster (signed)

3 13 to Life glow-in the dark pins (1 for you, 2 for friends)

3 13 to Life eyeball pins (as soon as they arrive—we’re out again!)

13 to Life t-shirt/sleepshirt (it’s an extra large)

Royal amber pendant (SO happy to find royal amber in NYC!)

39 points for posting my “Lose your heart” on your blog/site and promising to keep it up until June 29 (visit here to grab it http://tinyurl.com/35kmr29)

So, go forth, have some fun, wrack up some points, tally them and our big winner (according to points accumulated) gets the Top Prize goods. 2nd place and 3rd get stuff, too (of course). In the event of a tie one name will be randomly selected via Randomizer.

Thank you so much to Shannon for a wonderful Freebie Friday giveaway! Shannon will be back to answer a few of our questions on the 17th and then to have a LIVE chat with us on the 28th!

Mundie Moms Site Changes


We are currently working on our website to make it a bit more user friendly. Our site will continue to be up, but as you visit us over the next few days you may continue to see some changes.

We are working on adding page links to the top of our blog, reducing the links on our side bars. We've added in our Forum page with direct links for those who are Forum Members.

Please let us know if you have any questions and we thank you for your patience. :D

AND if you LOVE a giveaway, you will not want to miss our giveaway that will be posted later today. HINT: It's from a debut author, it has wolves, the number 13 and will be released later this month. That means, someone will be getting a Debut book before it's release!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO:

Happy Birthday to Pixie, one of our wonderful book reviewers!

The Broken Lake Trailer

Remember how much we loved Shelena Shorts' The Pace (our review is here)? Well, it's almost time for the sequel, The Broken Lake, to be released on August 19th. If you haven't read The Pace, yet, order it now. The series will make for a great summer read.

Here's the just released trailer for The Broken Lake:

Book Review - My Sister the Vampire: Switched


By: Sienna Mercer
Published by: Harper Collins
Released on: July 24, 2007
Age Range: 8 to 12

Synopsis (from Harper Collins): When Olivia Abbott moves to town, she's excited to join the cheerleading team and make new friends. Then she meets Ivy Vega. At first, Ivy, pale and dressed all in black, looks like Olivia's opposite. Then the girls look beyond the glittery pink blush and thick black eyeliner to discover they're identical—identical twins!

Olivia and Ivy are brimming with plans to switch places and pull every twin trick in the book. But Olivia soon discovers that she and Ivy aren't exactly the same. Ivy's a vampire. And she's not the only one in town.

Our review is up on our Keep Reading to Your Child blog, here. If you have a tween who is dying to read your YA fantasy books, you just may want to check out this more age appropriate series.
