True Review

While I love my blog a lot, unfortunately there are some things that are more important. I received my Associates Degree this past year and I had no problem keeping up with everything else in my life. Working on my Bachelors Degree is a much different story and I haven't even been in school for a month yet. For the time being I won't be posting on the blog unless it is a pre-scheduled blog tour that I am a part of, or a book that I have already agreed to read and review for a publiscist. I haven't had time to read anything I want to read AT ALL lately, even the book I love that I started last week. It's very sad but there isn't much I can do at this point in time but hope that things will settle down a bit and I can get back to normal. I hope all of my lovely blog followers will stick with me and stop by for the blog tours that Flipping Pages will be a part of, I hope to be back with you all soon! I <3 you all! Sherry <3

I'm so excited to have the author of Scars, Cheryl Rainfield, here with us today. She'll be taking over the blog to answer this question: What are three books that have held some type of significance for you throughout your life, and why? ~~~~~ It’s hard to pick only three books that have been significant for me. I’m not sure I could have survived the abuse I endured without books. Books helped me to hope and to dream, and to feel less alone. They helped me see that people could be good, kind, and loving, as well as the ways I experienced people around me to be. And they helped me to develop a richer inner world, which I needed to survive.             I’ve chosen three books that I needed and read, over and over again, since I was a teen and first began remembering my abuse, just as Kendra, the main character in Scars, is. Homecoming by Cynthia Voigt I read Homecoming over and over as a teen (and still do). Dicey wa...

The Rise of Renegade X by Chelsea Campbell Publication Date: May 11th, 2010 Published by EgmontUSA 352 Pages, Hardcover Source: Egmont, Teen Book Scene Blog Tour Summary from goodreads: "Sixteen-year-old Damien Locke has a plan: major in messing with people at the local supervillain university and become a professional evil genius, just like his supervillain mom. But when he discovers the shameful secret she's been hiding all these years, that the one-night stand that spawned him was actually with a superhero, everything gets messed up. His father's too moral for his own good, so when he finds out Damien exists, he actually wants him to come live with him and his goody-goody superhero family. Damien gets shipped off to stay with them in their suburban hellhole, and he has only six weeks to prove he's not a hero in any way, or else he's stuck living with them for the rest of his life, or until he turns eighteen, whichever comes first. To get out of this mess, Dam...

I'm thrilled to have Chelsea Campbell, author of The Rise of Renegade X , here with us today! She was nice enough to answer some questions about RRX, as well as some other things, so let's get to it. ~~~~~ Question 1: The Rise of Renegade X is an interesting mix, evil mastermind and superhero, how did you come up with the idea to meld the two together? Chelsea Campbell: I wanted to write about a bad guy character who had to save people. That's pretty vague, but it's how I got started, and I just played with that concept until I figured out my MC was a supervillain teen. And then I decided that the worst thing that could happen to this kid was for him to find out he's half superhero and that none of his villainy dreams are going to come true. Q2:  Before you started writing did you plan on having a boy MC or is that just how it came out when you actually started the book? Chelsea: I don't remember deciding that he should be a boy—it just came out that...

Last week I received an ARC of Demonglass by Rachel Hawkins(Thank you Hyperion!) and I devoured it in two days. I absolutely loved Hex Hall (check out my 5 star review here ), and I had high hopes that Demonglass would be just as good, but of course you never know how it will go with sequels. Well, Demonglass wasn't as good as Hex Hall , it was way better (in my personal opinion). The story picks up not to long after the final events of Hex Hall and the story moves right along. Now, this isn't my actual review since the book doesn't come out until March, so I won't say anything spoilery about the book because I would hate to ruin it for anyone. But you should know ahead of time, the awesomeness that is Demonglass ... yes, there is much awesomeness involved! All the characters we love are back, as well as some new ones. The geography of the story changes up a bit, and I love the location of where the story takes place. There are some twists and t...

For Review: Demonglass by Rachel Hawkins I already read this and it's freaking awesome!!!

Princess Bookie is hosting another Remake-A-Cover Contest . This time it's for Freefall by Mindi Scott. Here is the original cover: And here is my remake: This contest is open until next Thursday(9/9) or until 40 people enter. What do you think of my remake? Sherry <3

The beginning of August was an almost perfect start to a month. I read one great book after another and worked less than usual. Went to an awesome concert with my Dad and boyfriend. Life was good. These past two weeks... not so good. I will list off how great things have been for me. 1) I've been working more than usual. Lots of early mornings, like 4am. Which wouldn't be so bad normally, but the day before I probably worked 9am-5pm, then went in at 4am, then the next day maybe I went in at 7am, followed by a 5am. Yea my schedule changes EVERY week. It is never constant. And that sucks. Majorly. My body can't get used to the differences and it really catches up to you after a while. Anyways.. I'm EXHAUSTED . 2) My car is a piece of shit . Literally(okay not literally). It's ten years old, and it has 152000 miles. No there isn't an extra 0 there. At one time, my drivers side door wouldn't open or do anything because the locking mechanism or however yo...
