Next week on the blog I will be hosting a blog special entitled Look At Me! The whole week will cover reviews, guest posts and personal posts looking at how we view ourselves. It concerns me that within the world of the teenager, the way you look is so vitally important and I have taken three books that deal with similar issues to this to concentrate on.
So next week I will be featuring:
Skin Deep by Laura Jarratt
Wonder by R.J. Palacio
The Duff by Kody Keplinger
I want to smash the word 'normal'! If we all looked the same, the world would be a boring place. So come and join me for a week about self image.
Really Random Tuesday is a meme created by Suko at Suko's Notebook which is a way to post odds and ends--announcements, musings, quotes, photos--any blogging and book-related things you can think of.
I haven't done a Really Random Tuesday in ages!

I am going to talk about this again as I have blasted Twitter and Facebook with my news and can't leave my blogging pals out.
I came second in a short story competition with Piatkus fiction. If you would like to read the story, you will find it here.
It is the story entitled 'Fields Of Gold'. I am rather proud of it!
***********
I am really looking forward to reading this book and I wanted to share the trailer with you. I like the idea of more YA set during WWII and this one is creating a lot of buzz.

Not loads of news but just enough. Come back soon for another edition of Really Random Tuesday.
I can't believe we are heading for March already. This year is disappearing so quickly. I hope you like the selection of books I have picked out for March. There are some crackers coming out in the YA market, although I have also added a couple of adult and children's books. To find out more about each book, please click on the picture, which will take you straight to either the Goodreads or Amazon summary.
