SONGS OF MY SELFIE Reviewed on A Journaled Life

SONGS OF MY SELFIE received a stunning review on the blog A Journaled Life. This is our first review by a non-millennial reader, and it's so rewarding to see Regina's perspective and insight into our stories.

Regina writes:

What I noticed was happening for me halfway through the book was that a pit had developed in my stomach. There was so much heartache. . . . I wanted to know: What happened? How did they get like this? What can I as a mother of a rising millennial do (in addition to helping him navigate away from student loans & Sally Mae)? . . . But that’s the sign of great story right? It makes you feel something, see things differently, want to change yourself and the circumstances for others.

On a more personal note, reading this review was my "I've done it. I'm a writer now" moment. My work, and the works of these sixteen talented contributors, changed someone else's understanding and made someone care. That's the reason we do this, right? That's always been the dream, though it so often felt unattainable. I'm very proud to share this review with you, and I'm so proud of the writers in Songs of My Selfie. 

 Check out the full review on A Journaled Life.  

And don't forget, Songs of My Selfie is still available for preorder on Amazon and Barnes and Noble, or from your local bookstore.

Three Rooms Press is thrilled to announce that WEIRD GIRL AND WHAT’S HIS NAME, the compelling LGBT Young Adult Novel by Meagan Brothers (Debbie Harry Sings in French, Supergirl Mixtapes) was selected as a FINALIST for Foreword Reviews IndieFab Awards Young Adult Fiction category.

In its initial 5-star review,Foreword Reviews raved, “This is a novel that transcends the LGBTQ genre, and it holds universal lessons for all. It is reminiscent of Judy Bloom’s Are You There God, It’s Me, Margaret and Tiger Eyes in the way it tackles somewhat taboo subjects within a smoothly written narrative. It has all the makings to become a classic of this generation.”

The book has been named to numbers best of lists, including, among others:

• Best Teen Books of 2015 —Kirkus Reviews

American Library Association’s Booklist awarded WEIRD GIRL a starred review and noted, “The characters are wonderfully likable; the story is smartly written.” In its starred review, Kirkus Reviews noted, “Voices are crisply and intimately drawn . . . Carefully and subtly imagined.” And School Library Journal reave, “Brother’s pitch-perfect dialogue and well-polished prose make her an author to watch.”
