S is for Shalini Boland #AtoZChallenge

Shalini Boland is one of my TOP YA authors. Her books are breathtakingly good and whenever I start one, I know I'm in for a great ride. Not only that, I know I'm in for a real treat - and an achy bum. I'll sit for hours to get them read because I know I won't be able to put them down.
I first 'met' Shalini on the Authonomy site and our online friendship has grown to Facebook, twitter and email. I hope to meet her one day soon.
