JUNO
Juno was hungry. But before she could eat, she had to 
make it to the fridge without cutting herself.


Q: Would you consider giving out books to trick-or-treaters instead of candy?
A: I would, but some make throw them back at me. 
Kids want candy. They live for this one day a year that they get candy, no questions asked.

    Books for trick of treaters! Yeah, that would be a great way to get your house TPed!

    Your book sounds really exciting! Where is it set?

    That first sentence is definitely intriguing. I want to know what is going on.
    The book blurb is a bit confusing though. The "adrenaline of secrecy"? From keeping her affair secret, I guess.

    In a perfect world, kids would want books for Halloween, but I think your answer is the realistic one.

      There is secrets, but an affair is not one of them.

    The excerpts are intriguing. It seems like the character has a lot to be angry about.

    Tarryn Fisher has been on to read author since 2014! I need to pick a book by her soon! Also, I wouldn't want to not give out candies on that one day either!

    One of my neighbors attempted a book giveaway at Halloween. I didn't follow up to see how it sent, though. I think she didn't have enough books so that is why she was appealing to neighbors to donate.

    That sounds like an interesting read and I think I've just stumbled upon a nice book blog hop / linky party.

REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
