Author S. A. Harazin, whose debut novel Blood Brothers has received a great deal of attention and acclaim - including, most recently, an Edgar nomination for best YA mystery fiction of 2007 - gives an interview on Jessica Burkhart's blog. Those who comment to the blog will be entered in a contest to win copies of this book!
Ms. Harazin's a neat lady, and I've talked with her before about doing a blog-interview of our own for HHS Reads. In point of fact, there's at least four to six different authors who would be willing to do Q&A here on our very own book blog, whose books you will be seeing more of this spring and next fall in the library. Is there interest in an event like this? Would you all be interested in reading the work of various authors and getting to do more author-contact and questions?

It's a Giving Season...
'Tis the season for giving, and a number of authors just love to post holiday giveaways to fans and friends. Follow the links in this post for some terrific reading opportunities and contests!
Writer Tiffany Trent, author of the new YA series Hallowmere, is hosting a drawing to receive signed copies of the first two books of the series, as well as other goodies (who doesn't like cookies and chocolates?). The Hallowmere books are a post-Civil War gothic fantasy series that should appeal to those who favor Holly Black or M.T. Anderson's The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, Traitor to the Nation.
Jo Knowles, whose book Lessons from a Dead Girl has been nominated to the YALSA Quick Picks for Reluctant Readers, is doing a stocking-stuffer drawing for signed copies of her book. Post to your own blog to advertise the drawing, and get an additional name in the stocking!
For a basket of possibilities, Teenreads.com is hosting its Holiday Basket of Cheer giveaway ending the 17th; sign up for the possibility of winning a gift basket of twelve books - and Christmas stocking stuffers and sweets.
