********This contest is now closed.*********
It's finally here!! The ladies at Teen Lit Review are so excited to have you over! Hi! I'm Shawna and I will be telling you a little bit about our site.
Another friend and blogger, Angi, and I decided to start a teen book review blog in order to help parents find out what really is in the books they allow their children to read. We hadn't seen a lot of other sites out there that based their reviews on the content of the books. So, being concerned parents ourselves and all-around book lovers, we jumped right in with the help of another blogger friend, Tamara, and several other reviewers.
We review pre-teen, teen, and young adult books with a Christian perspective and rate them based on a 1-5 scale. You can easily search our site by topic/genre, age, series, or our favorite authors, which are listed on our sidebar if you scroll down.
We are also looking for more guest reviewers. All you have to do is submit book reviews using our format or a similar one by emailing me: teenlitreview@gmail.com
To say thanks for stopping by, we are also giving away 2 books:
Book Drawing #1: The Heart Reader of Franklin High
This is a used copy of the book when it was first published as Anonymous. It has some scuffs on the cover but otherwise it's the same story. Read the review Janice wrote here.
Book Drawing #2: In The Hall of the Dragon King by Stephen R. Lawhead
(Book 1 of the Dragon King Trilogy)
The review will be up next week.
Click below for the rules to enter.
1. Leave a comment below and please specify which book drawing (or both) you would be interested in.
2. You don't have to be a blogger to participate but you must leave an email address so we may contact you.
The contest will end Sunday, March 16 at midnight, and the winners will be announced Monday, March 17 after 12 pm.
We have book drawings once a month, so please join us back here often! Also, if you would like to help spread the word about our site, we have a button you can put on your sidebar. Please email me for instructions (teenlitreview@gmail.com). Thanks again for stopping by!!

How fun! Book reviewing is one of the joys of my life. Before I married, a year ago, I was a missionary teacher and I have to say reading is my favorite! I loved my Children's Literature courses in college.
I'd like to invite you to party with me here:

God Bless!
Love this blog. I have a 9 year old girl. I fight everyday to keep her a child. Thanks for the info and I would love the first book.
I have a book review blog too! But mine is geared more towards adults. Stop by, we book lovers need to stick together.
Hi! This was a fun find!
I am a YA writer along with being a reader, and I've often wondered if a site like this existed (without ever going so far as to look).
I'll definitely be poking around here a little more to get a feel for your ideas.
Blessings on your day!
Oh, and I imagine I'd go for the Dragon King, though I don't know much about it yet.
Hello. My name is Rebecca and I'm a bookophiliac. It's been 24 hours since my last completed book. Please sign me up for drawing #2.
I intend to check back often after the blog party is over. Very nice to find your site!!!
Blessings!!!
I'd love to win either book. :)
I hope you'll come visit me and enter my contest too. All the best. Party On!
Very cool blog. I have a ministry to girls and their moms so this is a very neat idea.
This is a great idea for a site! :)
Hi! I just stopped by while on my rounds at the blog party. I would like to enter the drawings for both books if I could please. I think my daughter would be interested in both books. I'd like to invite you to stop by my blog when you get a chance :)
Hello, I love books! Children's, Teen and of course my age reading. I collect books. You have a wonderful site with a great concept! Thanks for being a part of the blog party! Cindi

Hi Shawna,
It's nice to meet you. I'm an avid reader,mostly paranormals, sci fi, romances and YA's.
I'd love to read the Dragon King,it looks like a great book.
Hugs, Danette
Great blog. We LOVE books in this house. In The Hall of the Dragon King sounds like it would right up our alley. Thanks!
iamwedge[at]hotmail.com
like to have the dragon king keep up the good work
My daughter would read either book.
dolls123 (at) gmail (dot) com
Number 2 for my daughter who is a bookaholic
I would like either book, but if I had to chose I would choose the Dragon King
Either book would be fine. We have a quite precocious almost 12 year old, who needs to read 30 minutes a day for school. As a concerned parent, I go to the library try and find books she would like (mostly in the scifi/fantasy genre), and read them first so I know they are okay for her. She is reading at a highschool level so I want the books to be interesting and challenging, but of course appropriate. I find myself doing nothing but reading some days! Your site will be a lifesaver for me, I have bookmarked it and will be back. Thanks so much
Great Blog party! I enjoyed your post and pictures! Come on by, have some food, and do some dancing!
DEB
What a GREAT idea for a blog! I'm bookmarking you! Glad to meet you! Stop over at the Homeschool Blog Awards and shoot them an email... maybe they can link you up as well!

Your blog is great and unique. I would love the books since reading is one thing that has been a constant in my life. We have shelves of books for the children to explore.
Wow the first book sounds so wonderful! I have a pre-teen nephew that is sort of troubled (mostly his parents not his fault) and this would be a great read for him.
Sounds like fun! I'd like to enter both the drawings. I'll make sure to come back often.

Just visiting from the party, great blog you have. Hope you are meeting lots of nice people, I know I sure am. I'll have to go have a closer look around your site while I'm here.
I'm so glad that I found this blog! I'll be seeing what I can find to review for you too - I read all the time, might as well help someone out with a little review while I'm at it :)
Either one sounds great to me!
dansan826 at yahoo.com
thanks for stopping by my blog! what a great service you guys are providing. i had to start reading the books before i would let my kids read them because they were such advanced readers. when my son was in 3rd grade, i was reading "the gift" and realized it has a lot of things in it i did not want my kids to read...not until they were grown, and even then, i'm not sure about then! with my 2 oldest (boy and girl) either book would be great. they are reading anything and everything in sight (like i did at their ages)
thanks again!

My husband & I were both English majors and we read a lot of books. If I won the drawing, I'd like to have In The Hall of the Dragon King. It sounds like the kind of book that we'd enjoy here.
