Speaking of hot...heat things up this winter with our smouldering new releases, Island Sting by Bonnie J. Doerr and Freaksville by Kitty Keswick. Don't forget to join us in January for the official launch of Leap Books and the Leap Badge contest results!
Island Sting by author Bonnie J. Doerr is featured atLa Femme Readers as a Waiting on Wednesday pick. We're thrilled that this action-packed eco-mystery is on Eleni's list. Hope it's on yours too!
And here's a big shout out to Eleni both for selecting the book and for being an avid participant in our Leap Books badge contest. Eleni's collected each new badge as it comes out, so we're expecting she'll be a big winner. If you don't know about our contest, read the blogs below and check out the awesome badges on the right.
Frances O'Roark Dowell, Edgar-award-winning author of Dovey Coe says this about Island Sting: "Once you start reading, you’ll find yourself flipping pages as fast as you can, eager to find out what happens next."
If you love intrigue and care about endangered animals, you'll want to snag your copy when it comes out on January 6, 2010. For more info onIsland Sting, click here.
We have to say we have the best readers...or pre-readers since we're officially launching on January 1st 2010! (It's almost here!) Everyone on the Leap staff is tickled pink or purple or whatever your favorite color, about the responses we get from our reviewers, readers and fans!
Bookaholics unite! We love your emails! You rock!
And to share the Leap badge love, we'd thought we'd do a random shout out every week to a few of our fans...
