I'm author ELLE STRAUSS and welcome to my website!

I write fun, lower Young Adult (teen) fiction to do with whimsical things like time-travel, fairies and merfolk.

When my serious side peeks out, she's called LEE STRAUSS. She likes to write upper YA about real things that have happened in the past, or made up things that could quite possibly happen in the future.

This blog is about books, mine and other fab authors', but occasionally I'll share about other topics.

Thanks for dropping by!

Back to the Books Giveaway Hop

This Contest is Now Closed.


I'm so excited to participate in this year's Back to the Books Giveaway Hop hosted by I Am A Reader, Not A Writer & Buried in Books

What is this? you ask. Well, it's book celebration party where all participants shout out and give a way one book.

My choice: POSSESSION by Elena Johnson, because, to use her own well loved word, she's made of AWESOMESAUCE, and if you like quirky young adult dystopian, with a yummy love interest and surprising ending, you'll love her book.

To enter, all you have to do is comment on my blog. That's it.

If you want more entries here's how you can do it:

+1 new or current follower of my blog

+1 new or current follower of Elana's blog

+1 follow me on twitter or facebook (or both if you like)

+1 tweet this: Why is @elle_strauss giving away POSSESSION by Elana Johnson? Find out! www.ellestraussbooks.blogspot.com #giveaway #winbooks

+1 Facebook this: Why is Elle Strauss giving away POSSESSION by Elana Johnson? www.ellestraussbooks.blogspot.com. Find out!

Just let me know in the comments how many entries you get. It's the honor system here. I'm not going to check up on you.

But that's not all! You can win even more books. There are over 300 bloggers  participating in  Back to the Books Giveaway.  Find out about new great books and see how many you can win! Contest runs Sept 1-7. US/CAN

  1. OK...can't sleep so I tweeted, I FB'd and followed Elena's blog. I realize I am in Canada and can't win the box of books ( sad face) but thought I'd pass the love on anyway!

  4. Whoa whoa!!! Now this is how to start Sept. Thanks for the heads up on this Elle and the chance to win possession. Now, the trick will be to control myself and wait--am in a starbucks right beside chapters. Seeing all these great books may send me on a spending spree, lol!
