Hey everyone, today starts the Appreciation April blog posts and I thought that since yesterday was the launch day for the new line of YA Fiction, from Playlist Fiction, I would start off by telling you about that- while also sharing why I appreciate Playlist Fiction so much.
For the last few months my life has been a bit crazy. I started a new part time job, my grandmother moved back in with us, and I was losing friends as I felt my life was falling apart. Still I didn't complain, I held fast to the one truth I knew deep down- God would help me out of this, and all I had to do was lean on him. So I did.
I became twitter friends a while back with an amazing Author, Laura Smith, she and a few other authors got together, and Playlist Fiction was born, as was the street team. Anyone that knows me, knows how much I LOVE to read, so this was a great fit for me. I found a group of friends that I fit in with and I was feeling truly blessed.
Playlist Fiction tackles real life issues with their characters. There is Christian themes in some, mystery in others. These authors write their novels with such a real-life feel, you can connect with each character from the college stories of Hannah, Palmer, Kat, and Claire, to the Loss of Meg and her connection with Henry, then of course the love and struggles and scars of Evie and Chase!
Yesterday Playlist Fiction launched and released 3 of their books for kindle. These books are It's Complicated by Laura Smith, Glass Girl by Laura Kurk, and then Between These Lines by Jennifer Murgia. You can check out the page and find out how to get the books here: http://playlistfiction.com/
To know a little more you can check out my playlist on youtube with videos about the books: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYVlvjKE1HafWGysZLPTSGeuJcjvs6Dg
I appreciate Playlist Fiction because these books have helped me reconnect with a piece of myself that I was starting to lose. They've helped me gain a sense of freedom, and helped me feel like I'm really not alone. (I know God's always with me, but now I feel like I have Hannah, Palmer, Kat, Claire, Meg, and the others with me too. It's amazing how supported you feel when reading about characters in books)
Beyond that Playlist Fiction has offered me friendships that I already treasure. The friendships with the Authors themselves, and other people in the Street Team. I've found a family of people that don't judge me, that love me, that support me, and in turn I hope and pray I do the same for them So I Appreciate Playlist Fiction.
I hope anyone wondering about Playlist Fiction found this post helpful! I also hope that you all get out your Kindle and other e-readers and... DOWNLOAD THE DRAMA! :) Blessings!
---Until next time, It's Lynnea saying... Keep your head up and read a book ;)

What a beautiful post! I'm so happy to hear that depite your struggles, you've found something solid and bright in the end. Friendships often come when we least expect them -- that's the magic! I'm touched to have met you:)
Lynnea, thank you for being such a source of inspiration and encouragement to everyone at www.playlistfiction.com
It's so cool to see how God works, just when we least expect it, or when we're expecting something else all together, He comes in and shines HIs love, gives us gift. He is so amazing.
Thanks for all you do and who you are.
I love this post so much! I think you said the things all of us are thinking. This group has been a blessing to each of us and has taught me how important it is to connect with readers in real ways. That's why I write. Lynnea, you inspire me to keep going! Thanks! Love you, beautiful girl!
