Awesome trailer and cover from two books I LOVE!

Image
The trailer for Matched, by Ally Condie, was released earlier this week. You may have seen it already, and even you have, go ahead and watch it a second and third time, because it is that awesome. You know what is even more awesome than the trailer?? The book. One of my top three favorite books of this year. I am already DYING for the second which won't be out for over a year... *sulks* Anways watch the trailer.. it was fantastically made! Also: The cover for Demonglass was released this week as well.

For those of you that haven't had the chance to read this, Brent over at Naughty Book Kitties is hosting a cover remake contest for this, and the winner will get a Demonglass arc. Go check out the link for more details! Sherry <3

Mini-review: Demonglass by Rachel Hawkins

Last week I received an ARC of Demonglass by Rachel Hawkins(Thank you Hyperion!) and I devoured it in two days.

Review: Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins

Summary from goodreads: "When Sophie Mercer turned thirteen, she discovered that she was a witch. It's gotten her into a few scrapes. Her non-Gifted mother has been as supportive as possible, consulting Sophie's estranged father--an elusive European warlock--only when necessary. But when Sophie attracts too much human attention for a prom-night spell gone horribly wrong, it's her dad who decides her punishment: exile to Hecate Hall, an isolated reform school for wayward prodigium, a.k.a. witches, fae, and shapeshifters.

Sophie soon learns that a mysterious predator has been attacking students, and her friend Jenna is the number one suspect. Meanwhile, Sophie has a more personal shock t...
