A Reading Challenge to Begin the New Year!

WOW! January 2015!! Hope everyone had a great New Year's Eve night and are lounging around today watching floral floats and eating good food and of course football.
For me, today means continuing my ever time consuming efforts at creating my first book trailer for youtube…wish me luck! Although, I believe it's coming along quite nicely, if I do say so myself….and attempting to have the third book in print by the middle of February…I know, I know…a tad off the originally projected release…what can I say…life can really get in the way sometimes.

So I'm here to announce my first ever Book Challenge participation. By now you all should be familiar with Anna over at Herding Cats and Burning Soup….she has three topics of challenges going on right now, I myself am joining in on the "New To You" category. So go and check out the links and see which title fits your interest and sign up to be a part of the challenge for 2015….see you along the journey. Happy Reading in 2015!!

There's the Historical Romance Challenge and the Erotic Romance Challenge…go here to make your selection…enjoy!

RAVE SNIPPETS FOR THE McTISH SERIES FROM BOOK CRITICS

FROM EPIC YA READS: "I've read the entire Harry Potter Series (more than once), and I have to say that Benjamin McTish and the Door Through the Grandfather Tree is every bit as much of an adventurous read!" "June does a fantastic job of building that world fresh and new with mystical creatures, wondrous magic, valiant heroes and evil villains galore..." From BROOKE BLOGS "This is the first YA fantasy book since the Harry Potter series that had me so excited.." FROM KJ READS A LOT REVIEWS:"She makes a world that is so rich, you can smell the flowers, touch the trees, and feel the wind blow..." "this book should be read and read again just for the sheer enjoyment..." Tammy's Tea Time Reviews:"This book had me on the edge of my seat more than once and never did my attention to the story fade..." "I know I for one am looking forward to the next part of the series as it needs no comparison to any other it hold enough magic of it's own to become fabulous!…" WIZARDS-LANA @ GIRLS HEART BOOKS "if you enjoyed the first book in this series you will not be disappointed. Pace keeps the humor up while the action rolls and pierces your heart. Definitely one of those reads that throws you on the edge of your seat without giving you a stroke. If you liked the Harry Potter series, you can't go wrong here!" AMAZON READER "I love this series! I can see it becoming a movie. Can't wait for the next book…." Like reading a Harry Potter Adventure!" WIZARDS-KJ READS A LOT "Without a doubt June Pace is writing a tale of an epic journey of discovery; self, family and otherwise, nothing is ever just as it seems. The story never fails to awe and the imagery is still so clear you can see the sights along with the characters. The fear they feel is as real as if you were standing there with them. A wonderfully written tale that I highly recommend" WIZARDS-T.DRECKER "Summed up, this is even better than book 1 and will appeal to fantasy lovers.." /span>
