FAVE LINKEY-POO RIGHT THIS SECOND: Yes, I’m one of those people who really likes Lolcats. So when I found out there was a Lolcats game that you could play online, for free, I didn’t even care that Wal-Mart was behind it. (Because Wal-Mart is ebil.) Still, kyoot!

I’m so excited that an online book reviewer has given DONUT DAYS its first official review, and …. drum roll …. she liked it! But to me, the best part about Carrie’s review was this:

Before I started this book, I wasn’t sure I was going to like it. I’m not a religious person, so my admittedly judgmental self saw “evangelical minister parents,” and thought maybe this wasn’t the book for me. I decided to give it a try anyway…

I think there are many readers who will read the jacket flap and feel the same way. But you know what? This isn’t a religious book. Not really. Sure, religion is in it, but the themes the book addresses — acceptance, love, forgiveness — are universal.

And Carrie agrees!

I was hooked from page one. Donut Days is just a really lovely read. Zielin’s writing is witty and fresh; I could have read it all day…and I did. 

Thank you, Carrie!
