My 1st 50 followers giveaway! (here be link) In which you can win either Exclusively Chloe or Mountain Girl River Girl. Ends 3/04. Opens Internationally~
*
And, in case anyone needs convincing that these books are good, here be book pimpage! (WARNING: somewhat hyperactive. I cannot deny that I have a bit of a melodramatic streak in moi)
Pimpage of Exclusively Chloe: Why do you want to read this, you say? Because this is the sweetest, funniest adoptee story EVAR. Seriously, when was the last time you read a fluffy adoptee story? What's that? NEVER?! *le gasp* Obviously you ought to rectify this by READING EXCLUSIVELY CHLOE NOW. Chloe is so sweet and relatable and her adventures are adorable. Also we all need more glamourous Asian girls in our lives. AND, MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE FAKE DAD. OMG THE FAKE DAD, SO AWESOME. He was all blackmailed into doing his job and then the NEXT THING YOU KNOW he's all, "Hi Chloe do you want to eat my baked cookies?" and "Chloe dear, how's school? Meet any cute boys?" and taking his dad role way too seriously and it's ADORABLE AND I LOVE IT. ADORABLE ADORABLE ADORABLE. *squees*
Pimpage of Mountain Girl River Girl: Our starring ladies in this story are in contemporary Mainland China, trying to make their way on their own. Our girls have the loveliest friendship ever, and, get this, they talk to each other about things totally unrelated to boys!!! Do my eyes deceive me? Does this YA book pass the bedchel test?! Stare at this book and BELIEVE.
Also, their friendship is kinda just really awesome on their own. Shui-lian is our firecracker and Pan-pan is more quiet and sensible (in comparison at any rate). Allow me to illustrate.
Nice Old Man: Hello ladies, would you be interested -
Shui-Lian: OMG CREEPER, STAY AWAY GET OUT OF HERE I WON'T FALL FOR YOUR PLOYS
Pan-pan: ... Shui-lian, calm down. It's broad daylight and he's old, he can't get to us.
Shui-Lian: NEVER TRUST THE OPPOSITE SEX. THEY'RE OUT TO KILL US ALL. KILL US ALLLLLLLLL.
NOM: Er, actually, I am a hired job recruiter for the factory and am handing out flyers.
Pan-pan: Why don't we just hear the guy out before judging?
Shui-Lian: ... Fine. But I don't have to like it.
They're a lot of fun, and I love how Ye deals with the good and bad stuff Shui-Lian and Pan-pan go through together. You just can't help but root for them. =D
