Anything but Ordinary Giveaway ends at midnight tonight. Hurry and Enter.
What the heck? It is the end of July already? I can hardly believe that I go back to work in 16 days and students will arrive in my classroom in such a short amount of time. July just flew by. My brother got married, we spend the 4th at my in-laws and last weekend we went camping and visited the literary place of Walnut Grove, MN. Home of Laura Ingalls Wilder. I had a great month, reading. I participated in two read-a-thons and read lots of great books including Anything but Ordinary by Lara Avery, July's Author in the Spotlight.

Please check out my book review of Anything but Ordinary. Lara Avery has created a fascinating contemporary book that is a mixture of love story, drama and tragedy. Her characters are emotional beings who have suffered because of a accident that changed each of their lives in dramatic ways. Anything but Ordinary reminds the reader that life is fragile and that anything can happen. Bryce is a well developed main character that you can relate to and Avery draws the reader in from the very first page with her writing style.

Lara Avery Guest Post
It has been a pleasure to work with Lara Avery this month and I would like to thank her for being the July Minnesota Author in the Spotlight. I met Lara Avery at the Twin Cities Book Festival in October, 2012. Anything but Ordinary was recently released and Lara was bubbly and on cloud nine. She gladly handed me a copy and I am so glad I was able to feature her on BookSnob. Please check out Lara's website at http://laraavery.com/
