True Review

In 2010 at BEA I was lucky enough to get an ARC of Tyger, Tyger by Kersten Hamilton. It had an interesting summary and sounded like something I would enjoy. And I did enjoy it (Check out my review here !) It was unique compared to everything else I had ever read, and something like that sticks with you. In just two days, the sequel to Tyger, Tyger, In the Forests of the Night, will be released. In celebration of the upcoming release, Kersten's publisher is having an e-book promotion for Tyger, Tyger. You can get it at a special price of only $2.99. This special is available at Amazon , Apple, Barnes and Noble and Google. Don't wait too long, this promotion is only going on for about another week! Since In the Forests of the Night will be out so soon, Kersten has kindly offered up one signed paperback copy of Tyger, Tyger to one lucky winner. This is a US only contest! It will run from now until Sunday 11/27/11. This is my first time using Rafflecopter so I hope everythi...

Just because I've been absent from blogging lately, doesn't mean I still don't see the recently revealed covers of upcoming books, as well as the release of book trailers. If anything, I'm on the lookout more, so that I can keep track of what books are coming out and when, so I can snag myself a copy. It seems that this week has gifted us with many a book covers, and one magnificentally well made book trailer. First: As an inkpopper, I've known about Wendy Higgins' upcoming Sweet Evil ever since it was first announced (Coming May 1st, 2012). Well, yesterday Wendy tweeted the cover (you can follow her on twitter too @Wendy_Higgins) and I must say: WOW! It's incredibly beautiful, and elegant and it says so much without saying anything at all. It offers a contrast with not only the bright vs. dark side, but also the vibrant, rich red vs. the deep black. It shows that some type of romance is obviously involved, and I unsurprisingly, am okay with this (Du...

For my stop on the Deadly Cool Blog Tour, I got to interview Josh, Hartley's boyfriend. Enjoy! *** 1) Basics: What is your birthday? Middle name? Favorite Color? Favorite Number?                                                               Josh: Birthday: January 11 Middle Name: Xavier (But please don’t tell anyone!) Fav color: Blue (I’m a guy. We like blue.) Fav number: 10 (Because that’s how many days I spent in jail as an innocent man, and I will NEVER forget that experience!) 2) In Deadly Cool, Chase has an array of books on his bookshelf. Do you read, and if so, what type of books do you like? Josh: Dude, I totally read! I have a subscription to MAD magazine, ...

Vanish by Sophie Jordan recently hit the shelves at the beginning of this month. As part of the blog tour for its release, my post features Cassian, who we get to see a different side of in Vanish. A provided a list of This or Thats, and we get to hear from Cassian what he would choose, and why! *** This or That List: Cassian Spring or Fall: Spring … when everything is new again and full of hope. Movies or Television : When I bother to watch anything at all … it’s usually movies. Day or Night: Night … when I can fly. Chocolate or Vanilla: Favorite flavor is verdaberry … probably the same with all draki. Nothing new there. Fight or Flight: I’m an onyx draki, born to fight, born to fly … one of the fastest of my kind. I’m a warrior to the core of me. I’ll do whatever necessary to protect my pride and species. Shoes or Sandals: Barefoot Books or Music: Books Written Letter or Email: Letter … not much use for email in the pride. Blonde or Brunette: Red...

Welcome to today's stop on the blog tour for Scott Tracey's debut, Witch Eyes (which officially hits stores in two days!!). Today's stop consisst of a Character Tens List featuring character Trey Lansing. *** 10 Reasons why Trey Lansing's blood pressure is higher than it should be: 1. My sister's reckless endangerment of every vehicle she comes into contact with. Her driver's license has Murphy's Law printed on the back, I swear. 2. Talk about Angry Birds. A legion of them keep crapping all over my car. I'm single-handedly putting the car wash owner's kids through college. 3. My mother insists on throwing dinner parties at least twice a week. Attendance mandatory. There is only so much foie gras a man can eat. 4. English papers. Especially English papers on The Crucible or Macbeth. Find a new theme. 5. The woman at the gas station flinches every time I try and buy a coffee. Someone should switch to decaf. 6. There's a violent animal o...

Title: Vanish (Firelight #2) Author: Sophie Jordan Publication Date: September 6th, 2011 Published By: HarperTeen Hardcover, 304 Pages Source: ARC received from the Publisher for an honest review Summary: "To save the life of the boy she loves, Jacinda did the unthinkable: She betrayed the most closely-guarded secret of her kind. Now she must return to the protection of her pride knowing she might never see Will again—and worse, that because his mind has been shaded, Will’s memories of that fateful night and why she had to flee are gone. Back home, Jacinda is greeted with hostility and must work to prove her loyalty for both her sake and her family’s. Among the few who will even talk to her are Cassian, the pride’s heir apparent who has always wanted her, and her sister, Tamra, who has been forever changed by a twist of fate. Jacinda knows that she should forget Will and move on—that if he managed to remember and keep his promise to find her, it would only endanger them b...
