Welcome to Jenuine Cupcakes, this is my stop on the OBLIVION blog tour.  In preparation for OBLIVION'S release, I invited Daemon over to bake chocolate chip cupcakes for Katy. So far, the only one doing any actual baking is me. Daemon is sitting here with my laptop reading through Katy's latest blog posts , and looking pretty.      Jen: Say hello to the readers, Daemon. And stop eating the chocolate chips, those are for the cupcakes.  Daemon: *looks up* I thought we were making cookies.   Jen: Nope. *mixes flour and sugar* But speaking of cookies, what is your favorite type of cookie? Daemon: Any cookie Kat wants. Jen: Smart guy. Hand me the bowl with the eggs, please. *adds eggs, milk, butter, oil* Out of all the girls on Earth, what drew you to Katy and why did you pick her?   Daemon: She didn’t put up with any of my crap.

Blog Tour: Anna & The Swallow Man by Gavriel Savit

Author: Gavriel Savit Publication: January 26, 2015 By: Knopf Books for Young Readers Amazon | B&N | Goodreads Anna and the Swallow Man is a stunning, literary, and wholly original debut novel that tells a new WW2 story. Kraków, 1939, is no place to grow up. There are a million marching soldiers and a thousand barking dogs. And Anna Lania is just seven years old when the Germans take her father and suddenly, she’s alone. Then she meets the Swallow Man. He is a mystery, strange and tall. And like Anna's missing father, he has a gift for languages: Polish, Russian, German, Yiddish, even Bird. When he summons a bright, beautiful swallow down to his hand to stop her from crying, Anna is entranced. Over the course of their travels together, Anna and the Swallow Man will dodge bombs, tame soldiers, and even, despite their better judgement, make a friend. But in a world gone mad, everything can prove dangerous . . . *I received a copy of this from the publisher
