Month End Author Spotlight: Sarah Dessen

This past weekend was the end of October and the end of my month filled with Sarah Dessen books. I really enjoyed them and I am sooo glad that I picked them all up. I cannot wait to read the ones I missed and all her future books.

Just a little bio...

Sarah was born in 1970 in the state of Illinois, but grew up in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. She grew up in a reading house since her mom taught the classics and her dad taught Shakespeare, both at UNC. Sarah went off to University of North Carolina and graduated with an English degree. She started writing since she was little, but sold her first book three years after graduating. Now, she still lives in NC with her own family and has nine novels published. And just so you know...she is a coffee girl : )
