Last ROW80 Update & Good Reads

I believe I missed the last check-in for ROW80. I thought it was today, but I guess I was mistaken! Work has kept me pretty busy the last couple of days, so I'm days behind on everything. But if today IS the last check-in, here ya go...

I'm happy to say that I pretty much met my goals and beyond. For the most part, I stuck to my goal of writing everyday, released Parallel, and spent some time promoting it. I can't you guys how much being a part of ROW80 has meant to me. I received so much support from you guys and I cherish all the friends I've met during this challenge. I hope to see ya'll during Round 4!!

Now for some fun stuff. I managed to find two gems this past weekend. Now, once again, I'm not a book reviewer, but from time to time,  I like to let ya'll know what I'm reading. I don't know how I missed these two, but I am so glad I stumbled upon them.

Fast-Tracked by Tracy Rozzlynn
OMG. I LOVED this book. I almost threw my Kindle against the wall when I realized book 2 will not be released until December. If you love YA dystopian, this book is a must read.

Into the Shadows by Karly Kirkpatrick
Another brilliantly executed YA novel. I was moved and touched by the underlying theme. A must read for any teenager.

Both these books have strong heroines amidst a political, historical, and controversial backdrop.

    Hey you! Just catching up to let you know I didn't fall off the world, but I'm suffering the dizzies right now and am shutting off the computer in self-defense :-) hope you are well, drop me a note when you get a half second and let me know how you are!

    Fast-tracked looks interesting, so I think I'll check it out. Did you ever post a blog that listed the blogs you would be "touring"? I'd like to support you! :)
