I'm a finalist in Cherie's 2nd Annual Flash Fiction Blogfest. You can stop by here to vote for the finalists. Voting closes the 28th and winners are announced on the 29th. My entry can be found in my Monday post.
I found another fun blog hop that I signed up. It's the Girls Just Wanna Have Fun! Blog Hop!, hosted by Jaycee and Victoria. One of your female characters interviews another, with a picture and song accompanying the post. Heroines answer three of the questions listed on Jaycee and Victoria's blog (both blog links have the same details).
I recently read the bind-up edition of Simone Elkeles' RUINED series. These are amazing, contemporary YA romance books with a spunky, funny female lead.
From Goodreads:
One girl
Two guys
Three hot summers
'How to Ruin a Summer Vacation'
Leaving Chicago to go to Israel with her estranged father is the last thing sixteen-year-old Amy wants to do--until she meets handsome but aloof Avi, an eighteen-year-old soldier in the Israeli army.
'How to Ruin My Teenage Life'
Can a guy truly be your boyfriend if he lives in a different country? Avi might think it's possible, but Amy's edgy classmate Nathan wants a chance to prove him wrong...
'How to Ruin Your Boyfriend's Reputation'
Signing up for a ten-day boot camp at the Israeli military base where Avi is stationed might not have been Amy's greatest idea--especially since Nathan is there, too.
The bind-up had been sitting on my shelf for over a year! I can't believe I didn't pick it up sooner. That means I have quite a few gems in my library that I haven't read yet.
Have a great weekend, everyone.

You find the most interesting blog hops and books, Medeia. Congratulations on being a finalist.
Congrats on being a finalist! :) Going over to check out your entry.
Hope you feel better and get lots of rest this weekend.
i LOVE those Simone books!!! I read them as galleys back in the day and they cracked me up - especially as someone who is American-Jewish (I went to Israel a few years...ok many years after reading the series). I just read Simone's PERFECT CHEMISTRY, which I liked too.
And now I am off to vote for you :)
Congratulations on being a finalist! :)
I'm never going to catch up with what's on my shelf. And congrats on that finalist slot!
I love blog hops. I haven't done one in a while. I really need to.

Sounds like a fun book with some intriguing undertones!
You got my vote... good luck! The Ruined series sounds interesting--I like spunky, funny female protags.
