Happy Release Week/Month/Year! shout out. I've been following her for a long time and it's been awesome watching the process - fro her being sick, to struggling with Flash out, to selling....BIG!Just in case someone has not heard of Paranormalcy, it is my duty to tell everyone. ( I appointed myself :)
Author: Kiersten White
I had the pleasure of meeting Kiersten in LA at SCBWI. WE had dinner and laughs. Even spent time taking pictures with her first hardback. She even taught me a thing or two about posing for pictures. She's versatile that way.
Good times.
She is as adorable in person as she is on her blog. Here's a little interview with her I did a few weeks ago.
Premise: Paranormal + Boys + Action!
Evie’s always thought of herself as a normal teenager, even though she works for the International Paranormal Containment Agency, her ex-boyfriend is a faerie, she’s falling for a shape-shifter, and she’s the only person who can see through paranormals’ glamours.
But Evie’s about to realize that she may very well be at the center of a dark faerie prophecy promising destruction to all paranormal creatures.
So much for normal.
Cover Love!
Um hello - just look at it. It is gorgeous. And what's even more annoying, is that this book totally lives up to the hype. Its cute and witty, and intriguing, and mysterious. Oh yeah and it has - HOT BOYS! What more could you want?
What I love!
I had the pleasure of getting the arc back in May so I've been dying to discuss this book with everyone. I love Evie - she is sassy yet adorable. Spunky yet endearing. She cracks me up just like Kiersten. I read this book in a couple days. Seriously, I cracked up even on the first page and didn't put it down til I was done.

DItto Ditto on the LOVE! So good.
Downloaded this, but have been too busy to read. Boo.
At least this long weekend comes at the perfect time!
I can't decide which I love more, the book--or the author. They're both so awesome, you kinda wanna hate them for it. But you just can't. :)
Sounds awesome!!
I so want to read this. I'll probably go to the store tomorrow to get it.
I pre-ordered this one, and as soon as I finish devouring Mockingjay (I had to let my son read it first) I plan to devour it! :-)
I've been staring at this one on my coffee table for two days. I'm finishing another book, and the beginning of the school year is eating all my time! Aghhhh!

Can't wait to read this one! :)
My word verification is 'partiest' - on probably one of Kiersten's partiest days
Still waiting for mine in the mail...
Read. Loved. Marrying Lend.
Seriously I got the book on my Kindle at 5 pm, and was done by midnight. Didn't even eat dinner.
Oh! I want that book so bad! Congrats to Kiersten, I've only heard great things! =)
It's so great with fellow writers do shout outs. I'll have to check out the book. I've heard great things about the author so I guess I need to make time to sit down and read her newest book.
sounds great! can't wait to read it.
Great recommendation/review!
This is definitely on my list!
I also met her in LA, and also thought she was adorable.
I started reading Paranormalcy last night. :)
I loved this book! Amazing and fun and exciting all wrapped in a pretty package that kicks butt. :)
Looking forward to the sequel! :D
Great review! Love Kiersten's blog, so between that and this review, it goes on my "list" for my next visit to the bookstore.
I can't wait to read this one. It is at the top of my TBR list. I've been following Kiersten's blog for a long time. I'm going to be at the SCBWI in Charlotte. I'm looking forward to meeting you. Hopefully, we'll get a chance to hang for a few.
Love love love love!! And I just saw that Kiersten's book debuted on the NYT list!! Yay!!
