Sunday sketches and My 1st e-Book Review - Melissa Liban

Hello and happy Sunday my friends. I have a quick drawing I did today for Sunday Sketches,?it's a bunny with a hot pink mohawk.

Now, here's my first ever book review.?My goal is to review?chidren's/middle grade/young adult e-books written by independent authors (aka as self publsihed, I think?independent sounds cooler).??????????????????????

Fall Girl is the book I?m going to discuss today. It is a young adult novel that I downloaded for free on Amazon. If you feel like letting the author get some actual profits you can get a paid version on Smashwords also. Fall Girl is by Marybeth Smith and is about 16 year old Annabelle and basically how her life is affected by her older brother who has bipolar disorder. You can read the actual description (and download it) HERE. I enjoyed reading this book cuz it made stay up until I finished it, I had to know what happened in the end. ?Also I liked the story and I especially liked it because it?s a novel for teens and did not involve vampires, werewolves, being pretty or being popular, which are the subjects most teen novels seem to focus on these days. I also liked the way the characters talked, it sounded like actual teenagers. They said things like; I have an eye crusty and I didn?t shave so I look like a gorilla. At times I wanted to smack the main character in the head cuz she annoyed me, but then it was okay cuz a good portion of teenagers are annoying (sorry teens, but you know it?s true). If you like reading young adult novels I?d say go download yourself a copy. If you?re not into teenage drama I?d say pass (there?s lots of whiny why did my boyfriend dump me stuff), but the story is interesting because most books involving characters with mental illness is told from the point of view of the person who actually has it and this is told from a family members view point. So, that?s the end of my first book review, I hope it was okay. BYE!
