Now, while it’s awesome that she’s so close, she still has another $4000 to raise before her adoption can happen. So, if you can find it in yourself, I mean really dig deep guys, and help her out once again, or for the first time if you didn’t get a chance to before, please go to CJ’s blog to read her adoption story and to make another donation. I’ll be going back today, too. It means perhaps a few trips to Starbucks skipped, but I know that it’s a good cause. And nothing would make me happier than to see a mother united with her child.
And now, to announce the winner of…
Signed Hard Cover of CLAIRE DE LUNE by Christine Johnson
The Winner is:
Sara DeSabato
Congrats, Sara! I’ll be emailing you shortly. Thanks so much for your donation to CJ!
*******************************
And now, in other news….
If you haven’t had a chance to read the First Chapter of my fellow Bookanista Beth Revis’ YA dystopian novel, ACROSS THE UNIVERSE, holy schmoly, you have no idea what you’re missing. I was blown away people. Seriously. I was so excited reading this, like almost holding my breath. I whipped through it once and then had to go back through and read it again slowly. Guys, if this book is anything like it’s first chapter, it’s going to be unbelievable. I’m talking (Dare I say it?) HUNGER GAMES sweet here. I so badly wanted to keep reading. Curse you, Razorbill for keeping us waiting!!!!!
So yeah, go. Go read it now! You will thank me.

Sorry, I haven't been following this - who is Johanna, and why is she stuck in China? I've read CJ's last few blogs, but I am not clear what is going on, or why she needs so much money to bring Johanna back from China. More information would be good for someone like me, who has arrived late.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Sara! :)
ReplyDeleteI loved Beth's first chapter - it's hard to wait for the release date! She's got a gorgeous cover too! :)
Congrats, Sara.
ReplyDeleteBeth's first chapter is amazing!
Congrats! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats and awesome giveaway!!!
ReplyDeleteAwww, she's adopting? I'll have to read her story!!! That is a good cause. My next paycheck, for sure I'll pitch something in. I firmly believe in adopting and giving kids without parents a good life and a chance. Awesome giveaway, btw.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Sara! I must read that chapter--going now.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
How nice of you to promote such a worthwhile cause. I'm heading to the blog right now! Congratulations to the winner!
