Unbirthday: A Twisted Tale is Available Now #Giveaway

Disney Book Group sent me Unbirthday and teamed up with me for a giveaway!

While away of a short vacation upstate, my daughter found this swing, quite magical, I think.  I could almost see Alice and her friends from Wonderland paying a visit to this part of the lake.

I thought that this spot by the lake was perfect to start reading Unbirthday.  The temperature had dropped to the 60s and it was an overcast day.  It made for a great spot to enjoy a reimagining of a classic tale.

We love twisted tales in our house and are happy to report that UNBIRTHDAY by Liz Braswell, A Twisted Tale #10 is available starting today.

About Unbirthday

What if Wonderland was in peril and Alice was very, very late? This twist on Alice in Wonderland is the tenth book in the popular YA series that explores what would happen if a key turning point in a Disney film had not worked out as planned.

Twisted Tales book covers

If you haven’t heard of  the Twisted Tale books, you have to check out the other books in the series too.  Unbirthday makes up the tenth book, and is author Liz Braswell’s latest installment in the hit series.

By throwing the classic Disney heroines into new situations, these books will allow the beloved characters to grow and develop into multidimensional, active female leads, appealing to modern audiences.

2020 marks the 155th anniversary of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, a perennial story that has both literary and Disney appeal. And with such ever-present Alice retellings in the YA space, such as Marissa Meyer’s Heartless, Frank Beddor’s The Looking Glass Wars series, Gena Showalter’s Alice in Zombieland, and L.L. McKinney’s The Nightmare Verse series, it’s clear this property is perfect for the target demographic.

To celebrate the release of Unbirthday, we have a very merry Unbirthday Giveaway for one lucky reader!

So what if it’s not your birthday? One (1) winner gets to celebrate with Unbirthday and a box of birthday treats.

 

Open to U.S. Addresses only.

Prizing & samples provided by Disney Book Group.

So happy to kick off the holiday season with @macy So happy to kick off the holiday season with @macys and Santa! Last night, we took the train into the city to preview #Macys #Santaland I have to say it was quite magical. Although my youngest was 12, Santa was able to connect to her and put us all in the holiday spirit. 

I believe. I believe….

My mom also came with us. We started talking and I think it was almost 40 years ago that she took us to visit Santa at Macys. I was so happy to visit Santa with her and my youngest for a three generation experience.

Don’t forget to check out the beautiful window displays as you enjoy all of #NYC during the holidays!

#ad Mental health isn’t talked about enough, but #ad Mental health isn’t talked about enough, but 1 in 5 adults suffer from mental illness and disorders today. 

Let’s reduce the stigma by opening up the conversation in the classroom and at home.
As a teacher and a mom of 3, I know how important it is to be there and be a good listener.

Conversations are super important. It’s never too early (or too late) to have these conversations with your students or your own children.

Operation Conversation is a check-in on kids’ mental health. When we start simple habits of conversations, we can learn about concerns or problems our students are dealing with, help them problem solve, and build their confidence for life’s difficult moments. 

Teachers can help to destigmatize mental health starting in their own classrooms by talking to their students about mental health using a free deck of conversation starter cards. Parents can also use these cards to support good conversations while at home. I know as a mom, I can use all the help I can get. 

#Giveaway Alert! 
I have 5 decks of Conversation Starter Decks of cards to give away to 5 lucky winners to help you get the conversation flowing! 

To enter:
1. Comment on this post as to why you would love the conversation starter deck of cards. 
 2. Follow @OnOurSleevesOfficial
3. Follow me @SavvyMomNY  I will pick the winners after 10pm on 11/22

Took a little trip upstate 💚 Visiting my oldest Took a little trip upstate 💚 Visiting my oldest and touring her sister on first college visit. Maybe it’s a sign that they should be together. Totally bittersweet and we went to visit Binghamton in October 2019 and only made it to two more before March 2020. I’m only thinking of bright skies ahead for the both of them filled with amazing memories and wonderful opportunities 💚

New York state has so many wonderful places to be New York state has so many wonderful places to be a part of . From the bright lights of NYC, to quiet places of respite in its parks and wooded areas. Time to walk, hike and reflect. Being active and busy is something that I hope my teens learn from and something we can do together to enjoy all the beauty and nature it has to offer while keeping NY tobacco free. Did you know that our oldest generation of smokers are now dying? After them, you have me and a very large group of people who do not smoke at all. So, who’s next? Instead of taking cigarettes off the shelves, the tobacco industry views today’s teens as tomorrow’s customers, using menthol-flavored products to attract and addict kids – and it’s working. More than half (54%) of youth who smoke (ages 12-17 years) use menthol cigarettes. making it easier for kids to start and harder for them to quit. Menthol is not JUST a flavor, it attracts and addicts kids As a teen mom, I am sharing this so we can all take action! Learn more about the impact of Big Tobacco’s manipulative tactics on our communities and how you can take action to help end this injustice. Let’s keep our kids enjoying the wonderful things our state has to offer. Link in bio #NotJustMenthol #TobaccoFreeNYS #ad @tobaccofreenys
