Hey Everyone!
Since we asked you questions last week, I thought this week we would let you ask the questions!
I will pick a handful of fun questions to have Ally answer.
For example, I know Ally likes to bake but I wonder what her favorite thing to bake is?!?!?!?
I think that will be my question! Ha!
So post your questions and I will get some answers!
Have a good week!

Hey Everyone!
I thought I would give you a cryptogram to solve today! I haven’t posted one in a while and thought I would pull a quote from All Fall Down. Good Luck!

For those of you who have never solved a cryptogram puzzle before, the rules are simple… It is basically a secret code where different numbers, symbols, or in this case, letters, represent a different letter.
I will hold all comments with answers for 24hrs to give everyone a chance to solve the puzzle! I will approve comments that include tips, tricks, or encouragement!

Hi Everyone!
I have to say the BEST part of my job was getting to proof read See How They Run this past weekend!!
It is amazing! I can’t wait for everyone to get to read it and that way we can all geek out over it!
And in case you missed it….Ally put this little excerpt from See How They Run on her social media sites Saturday.
And if you are in the Oklahoma City area this weekend go and see Ally Saturday, July 18th, at 3:00 at the Barnes & Noble at the Qual Springs Mall!
Have a great week!

Hi Everyone!
To kick off summer in style we have a really fun giveaway today!
A SIGNED copy of Carrie Ryan’s Daughter of Deep Silence.
This is an Advanced Reading Copy which makes it even more valuable.
Fun Fact: According to Ally, Carrie got the idea of this book while she was staying at Ally’s house!
We have a winner!!! CONGRATULATIONS KELLY!!!
Kelly says:
For this summer, I’m so excited to read Deep Blue by Jennifer Donnelly. I’m a little obsessed with Mermaids and Spies, and your books fill the latter while Deep Blue will hopefully fill the first. If only there was a book about Mermaid Spies. I would totally worship that.
Kelly, please send me your mailing address to [email protected]
Thanks to everyone who participated! We will have lots more giveaways in the near future!
XOXO,
Shellie

Hi Everyone!
The sun has finally decided to shine around here!!!
It is also the first day of Summer Break for my daughter! I dropped her off at art camp this morning and can’t wait to see all the fun things she makes by the end of the week.
Anyone else going to art camp this summer? Any other camps? Summer jobs?
Have a good week and hopefully it is sunny where you are!

Hi Everyone!
We are going to do something FUN today!
Ally was sent this really cool poem made from lines from All Fall Down.
My mother’s killer
A needle in an international haystack
A guy who knew what he was doing
He was Caucasian
Six one or two
Do you really believe that’s true?
A long list of people who have told me I am delusional
Tired of feeling helpless
All
Fall
Down
It is a style called Found Poetry.
Found Poetry Definition:
Found poetry is a type of poetry created by taking words, phrases, and sometimes whole passages from other sources and reframing them as poetry by making changes in spacing and lines, or by adding or deleting text, thus imparting new meaning.
So your mission today is make your own Found Poetry using All Fall Down!
Can’t wait to read them all!
Have a good week!
Shellie
P.S. There may be a little prize for today’s mission!
