Cheryl Rainfield

Cheryl Rainfield is an author with a couple of short stories published and various manuscripts in different stages. Her blog description is reasonably comprehensive: "My love of books is what this blog is about. I love sharing good books and resources on finding books, finding out about books, all things related to books, and connecting with other people who like to read and talk about the books they love."

The blog is visually very attractive, links to many other relevant blogs and sites and most importantly is just plain interesting. Well worth a click over to visit. She also maintains a site, Love Yourself, which in turn has a great library of her reviews (check under the Free Stuff for Writers tab and select either Teen Booklists or Picture Book lists).
