Authors and Publishers

If your a publisher or author and would like me to review, host a contest, do an interview, or to just help spread the word about your book, please email me at charlawilson@me.com or lalas@cableone.net

I love books! I would love to read and review your book! I also love blogging about books and sharing that love with others. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help spread the word about your book. I would be more than happy to accept review copies from publishers and authors. I would also be happy to participate in author interviews, blog tours, and host contests.

I accept ebooks that can be loaded onto kindle.

I will always give review books top priority. Therefore, I will read the book in a timely manner. I will try not to post the review until about a month prior to release.

I will review every book that I read. I will only accept books that I believe I would like to read. If I do not like the book, I will not give it a totally negative review. I can usually find something good about every book I read. I would rather say nothing than give a book a total negative review. Just because I don't like a book does not mean that someone else would. Even if I don't review the book, I can spotlight it on my blog by offering it in a contest, or just do a Spotlight post on the book.

Thank You!

My Review

This book is dedicated to the memory of Christine Taylor Green. She was born 11 September 2001 and died 8 January 2011. She was the youngest victim at the Arizona shooting spree on 8 January 2011 at Representative Gabriella Giffords political event.

'If there are rain puddles in heaven, Christine is Jumping in them today." -President Barack Obama in his address to the Nation, Memorial speech in Arizona, 2011.

The first edition of this book was filled with big eyed babies that were born 11 September 2001. Ten years later this book shows those same big eyed babies as young children. Now they show eyes filled with hope and big toothy grins. Also, each child has made a piece of art that is included with their photograph, along with a quote from the child on how they plan to make the world a better place.

This is the first time I have read anything about this horrible day, that made me feel happy. Usually anything about this day fiills me with an overwhelming sense of helplessness and sadness. But,looking at the beautiful faces of these children and reading about their hopes and dreams, makes me realize that the world is still a wonderful place.

There are 50 children in this book, one from each state. All of the children express good things about the world, even though they are all very aware of what happened on the day they were born. This is not a book about grief and sadness, it is a book of Hope and Happiness. This can be seen in their art work, in their faces, and in their writings about making the world a better place. I think this book is a lovely tribute to that day!

"I will make the world abetter place by going in the woods and cleaning all the trash. And then if I see a sick animal I will help it out and ask if I could take it to the vet. That is how I will make the world a better place."
