			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ok, so I&#8217;m trying to win another contest <img src='http://www.carsonfam.net/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Lisa McMann, one of my favorite authors, is having a contest. All I have to do is post anywhere on the internet about her books Wake, Fade &amp; Gone and I could win an advanced copy of Gone which is to be released in February 2010. Luckily for me, this blog also posts at Twitter, Facebook and Myspace so hopefully I&#8217;ll get the word out even more. <a href="http://lisamcmann.blogspot.com/2009/11/2nd-annual-freaking-huge-contest-o.html" target="_blank">Click here for Lisa&#8217;s post about the 2nd Annual Freaking Huge Contest-O-Thanks</a>!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.carsonfam.net/images/books/l_mcmann/wake.jpg"><img src="http://www.carsonfam.net/images/books/l_mcmann/wake.jpg" alt="" width="152" height="227" /></a> <a href="http://www.carsonfam.net/images/books/l_mcmann/fade1.jpg"><img src="http://www.carsonfam.net/images/books/l_mcmann/fade1.jpg" alt="" width="152" height="227" /></a> <a href="http://www.carsonfam.net/images/books/l_mcmann/gone.jpg"><img src="http://www.carsonfam.net/images/books/l_mcmann/gone.jpg" alt="" width="152" height="227" /></a></p>
<p>Synopsis for Wake:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Not all dreams are sweet.<br />
For seventeen-year-old Janie, getting sucked into other people&#8217;s dreams is getting old. Especially the falling dreams, the naked-but-nobody-notices dreams, and the sex-crazed dreams. Janie&#8217;s seen enough fantasy booty to last her a lifetime.</em></p>
<p><em>She can&#8217;t tell anybody about what she does &#8212; they&#8217;d never believe her, or worse, they&#8217;d think she&#8217;s a freak. So Janie lives on the fringe, cursed with an ability she doesn&#8217;t want and can&#8217;t control.</em></p>
<p><em>Then she falls into a gruesome nightmare, one that chills her to the bone. For the first time, Janie is more than a witness to someone else&#8217;s twisted psyche. She is a participant&#8230;.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>If you are looking for some very quick reads, you should pick up Lisa&#8217;s series. Wake is a very good introduction to Janie and later on a character named Cabel (whom I <em>love</em>) and Fade continues on with their story. By the time Fade comes around, a few people know about Janie&#8217;s &#8216;gift&#8217; and she&#8217;s getting better at controlling it. Cabe is there along Janie trying to help her and work on his own problems.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t wait to see what awaits Janie &amp; Cabe in the next book. So help me! Tell me if you go out and get the books, let me know that my spreading the word really worked! lol..</p>
