But first, I would like to thank Mona, Catherine and Kelly for the Liebster Award, and Catherine and Kelly for the KreativBlogger Award - both awards I have not had the pleasure of receiving before, so thank you all so very much!!!
I know I'm supposed to list some stuff about myself and pass the awards on to others, but as you all know I'm terrible at that. Plus it seems like pretty much everyone I know has received these awards in the last week. So forgive me if I just say thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Now, it's on to the Would You Read It!
Today's pitch comes to us from Sarah in the Ireland! (I think she may be the first entrant from Ireland!) Sarah is 19 and a biomedical science student. She claims she's only a wannabe writer, but I say hop over and check out her blog - she has a great sense of humor! :)
Working Title: Starstruck
Age/Genre: YA
Pitch: Seventeen year old Katie literally stumbles into Matt's life one icy January morning. Within two months they're friends, and in three, they're dating. But there's a snag. Matt is a movie star and teenage heart-throb. Katie's living the dream that every other girl her age has, but the dazzle of having a famous boyfriend only lasts so long. How will Katie cope when the line between dream and nightmare becomes blurred?
