Waiting on Wednesday (3)

Image
Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine , which showcases some upcoming books that we are waiting for! This week I have picked Voices of Dragons by Carrie Vaughn, which is set to be released March 16th, 2010. Summary from Goodreads: "On one side of the border lies the modern world: the internet, homecoming dances, cell phones. On the other side dwell the ancient monsters who spark humanity’s deepest fears: dragons. Seventeen-year-old Kay Wyatt knows she’s breaking the law by rock climbing near the border, but she’d rather have an adventure than follow the rules. When the dragon Artegal unexpectedly saves her life, a secret friendship grows between them—even though the fragile truce that has maintained peace between their two species is unraveling around them. As tensions mount and battles begin, Kay and Artegal are caught in the middle. Can their friendship change the course of a war? In her young adult debut, New York Times bestselling au...

Review: Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl

Image
So a week after starting Beautiful Creatures(for a second time) I finalllly finished it. It's quite a long read, a whopping 576 pages. Before I get into things let me start off by giving you the summary. (Copy purchased by me) Summary from Goodreads: "There were no surprises in Gatlin County. We were pretty much the epicenter of the middle of nowhere. At least, that's what I thought. Turns out, I couldn't have been more wrong. There was a curse. There was a girl. And in the end, there was a grave. Lena Duchannes is unlike anyone the small Southern town of Gatlin has ever seen, and she's struggling to conceal her power and a curse that has haunted her family for generations. But even within the overgrown gardens, murky swamps and crumbling graveyards of the forgotten South, a secret cannot stay hidden forever. Ethan Wate, who has been counting the months until he can escape from Gatlin, is haunted by dreams of a beautiful girl he has never met. When Lena moves...

Author Interview: Rachel Caine (Morganville Vampires, Weather Warden & more)

Image
I am so very excited to have Rachel Caine here with me today. I was recently introduced to her Morganville Vampires series and I became hooked instantly! She agreed to answer a few questions for me so here they are, hope you enjoy! Q: I know you write and have a full time job, what are some things you do in you free time(besides writing!): A: My husband and I share a great love of movies and TV, and we have a ridiculous movie theater and a whole room full of DVDs and Blu-Ray movies. We also love art, and go to a lot of art shows. My husband also loves old pulp magazines and comics, too, so I'm getting more into that. I love to hang out with my friends when we can! Q: Out of all of the characters you write(any book), do you have a favorite: A: I'd have to say that of all the characters I've ever written, I enjoy writing Shane and Myrnin the most (from Morganville). Although Lewis from the Weather Warden series is in the running, too. Q: You've been writing adu...

Author Interview: Lisa Schroeder

Image
As you all know I recently hit 100 followers, and here to help celebrate that milestone is Lisa Schroeder. Her most recent release was Chasing Brooklyn which just came out in Janurary. She's also the author of I heart you, You haunt me and Far From You. Me: Hello Lisa so glad you could come by, Can you start off by telling us a little bit about yourself? Lisa: Well, I live in Oregon with my husband and two sons, and I just recently quit the day job to go full-time with the writing for awhile. I sort of miss having a job and getting out and interacting with people, so I suspect at some point I'll go back half-time, but for now, it's been nice not having so much to juggle. In my free time, I love going for walks with my dog in the neighborhood, watching my favorite TV shows (Glee, Friday Night Lights, Project Runway, Vampire Diaries), and baking yummy things. Me: Describe your latest release, Chasing Brooklyn: Lisa: It's about two teens, Nico and Brooklyn, who ...
