Splash Into Summer Blog Hop

 Thank you to I Am a Reader Not a Writer and Page Turners for hosting this blog hop!

The giveaway I am offering for this blog hop is:
The Latte Rebellion by Sarah Jamila Stevenson
Published: January 2011 by Flux
Pages: 327
Genre: Realistic Fiction
Audience: Young Adult

From Goodreads:
When high school senior Asha Jamison gets called a "towel head" at a pool party, the racist insult gives Asha and her best friend Carey a great money-making idea for a post-graduation trip. They'll sell T-shirts promoting the Latte Rebellion, a club that raises awareness of mixed-race students.

Seemingly overnight, their "cause" goes viral and the T-shirts become a nationwide fad. As new chapters spring up from coast to coast, Asha realizes that her simple marketing plan has taken on a life of its own-and it's starting to ruin hers. Asha's once-stellar grades begin to slip, threatening her Ivy League dreams, and her friendship with Carey is hanging by a thread. And when the peaceful underground movement turns militant, Asha's school launches a disciplinary hearing.Facing expulsion, Asha must decide how much she's willing to risk for something she truly believes in.

How to enter:
Leave a comment with your favorite coffee/latte drink (don't forget to leave me your email so I can contact you if you win!)

My favorite latte is Starbucks green tea latte. I used to make fun of people who went to Starbucks all the time, but then I became a teacher and students would give me Starbucks gift cards for Christmas. After I gave a few of them away to friends and family because I can't drink coffee anyway (it burns my stomach something fierce), I decided to try one of their non-coffee drinks. It was a chai latte and I think Starbucks must put crack in their drinks because that first sip got me addicted right off the bat. Chai was my gateway drug. Now I mostly order green tea lattes in the cold months and vanilla frappucchinos during the warm months. Bottom line? My name is Beth and I'm a Starbucks addict. (and I don't even drink coffee!)

While you're at it, don't forget to visit the other blogs participating in this blog hop:

  18. My favorite coffee drink is called the Teddy Bear and it's from Bigby's Coffee. I think it's just a Michigan chain. It's a white chocolate and caramel latte type thing. The drink tastes lightly salted-- like sea salt and caramel. I think that's why I like the drink so much.
    I'm also a huge fan of Jackson Coffee Company's (another local coffee chain) peppermint coffee. It's such an exciting experience! It's black coffee with peppermint flavoring in it or something. It's hot when you first take a sip, then it has a cool aftertaste!
