YALSA Quick Picks 2009

Hello there,
In late 2008, my book Retaliation was nominated as a Quick Pick for Reluctant Readers. During the 2009 YALSA Quick Picks Conference,January 24 - 26th, 2009 my book will be discussed. These discussions will decide if my book actually makes the final cut that goes out to librarians across the country. It is my prayer and hope that my book makes this prestigious list. I'm asking everyone who has read Retaliation or who is reading this blog to send a prayer up for Retaliation during January 24 - 26th.

My independent press, Rolling Hills, published Retaliation. And we are committed to sharing real life stories with young people. So, again, it is an honor for me to be able to do what I do and get this kind of recognition. I don't take it lightly.

Peace and blessings,
Yasmin Shiraz
