I'm sure your publisher will love this book too. Take a deep breath and try to relax.<br />Reading a book is a great idea. I've just read several middle grade books that were great, Chasing Vermeer, The 39 Clues, and When You Reach Me. For YA I'm reading Dreaming Anastasia. I recently read Fallen and Torment by Lauren Kate. Those were good too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1535071685933167978.post-63716157330063202022011-03-15T22:48:20.840-07:002011-03-15T22:48:20.840-07:00hmmm, well the best book I've read in the past...hmmm, well the best book I've read in the past two years was the hunger games series by Suzanne Collins. If you haven't already read it you absolutely must. I'm writing a novel this summer as well, and I understand what you mean about it being part of them having your soul in them. Good luck with your publisher, hope to see your name on store shelves soon!filling.the.v0idhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17027011488799065648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1535071685933167978.post-76840765667008509492011-03-15T20:44:01.887-07:002011-03-15T20:44:01.887-07:00Have you read The Mysterious Benedict Society?

If you want something more serious, I'm currently reading Factory Girls by Leslie T. Chang and it's fascinating.<br /><br />Good luck with your submissions!Shannon Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17375300716238391523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1535071685933167978.post-57429961632206538152011-03-15T14:45:57.451-07:002011-03-15T14:45:57.451-07:00Saving Max.

I'm desparately trying to rack my brain for some other books I love but it's drawing a dead blank!! For the last year, I've barely read any books that weren't picture books!!<br /><br />I wish I could say I dont get all excited and all depressed with submissions and rejections for every single story I send in. The only time a rejection doesnt hurt as much is if it comes immediately after I've gotten an acceptance on something else! Otherwards, it hurts every darn time.Allyn Stotzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00125021589041199877noreply@blogger.com
