Beautiful Music for Ugly Children Giveaway ends at midnight tonight!  Hurry and Enter.

Happy Easter and happy last day of March.  We still have a lot of snow cover here in Minnesota.  It is slowly melting and the temps are slowly climbing, thank goodness.  I am on Spring Break this week and plan to do a lot of work grading papers and working out at the Y but I also plan to read.  Got any good books on your To Be Read list? I suggest adding, Beautiful Music for Ugly Children to your list.  It is just the sort of read to give you a spring in your step and a thought bubble to your brain.

Today is the last day to enter to win Beautiful Music for Ugly Children.  Time is up at midnight.  Click here to enter:  Beautiful Music for Ugly Children Giveaway

Next check out my book review of Beautiful Music for Ugly Children.  I try to get a little creative with this review.  I pretend to be a Radio DJ like the narrator in the book.  It was fun to present a little slice of the book in my review.  If you love music, books and respect people's differences, you will enjoy this thought provoking read.

It has been a pleasure to work with Kirstin this month and I would like to thank her for being March's Minnesota Author in the Spotlight.  I met Kirstin at the Twin Cities Book Festival in October and she agreed to be the featured author and to come and speak at the high school I teach at.  Here is the link to the post of her visit to South High.  Kirstin Cronn-Mills visits South High
