The first time I met Kimberly Sabatini, I was attending a Hudson Valley YA Society event at Oblong Books with April. I honestly cannot remember which event it was or who approached who first but I do remember her sharing that she was from the Hudson Valley area and that she was going to be […]
Velveteen by Daniel Marks Book Review
February 16, 2013
It’s unfortunate that Daniel Marks’ YA debut Velveteen didn’t get quite the attention it deserved when it first came out. Velveteen takes a walk on the macabre side and feels quite unprecedented in the YA market.
