Cover Alert (6)

"Cover Alert" is a meme I've created by myself. It's to show what new covers that have been revealed that I've discovered! and here it is:




I saw the cover over at The Story Siren. I haven't read the first book (yet!) but I loovvvveee the covers :) Can't wait for this one to come out (and for me to get my hands on Matched...). Here's a blurb!


In search of a future that may not exist and faced with the decision of who to share it with, Cassia journeys to the Outer Provinces in pursuit of Ky — taken by the Society to his certain death — only to find that he has escaped, leaving a series of clues in his wake.

Cassia’s quest leads her to question much of what she holds dear, even as she finds glimmers of a different life across the border. But as Cassia nears resolve and certainty about her future with Ky, an invitation for rebellion, an unexpected betrayal, and a surprise visit from Xander — who may hold the key to the uprising and, still, to Cassia’s heart — change the game once again. Nothing is as expected on the edge of Society, where crosses and double crosses make the path more twisted than ever.



Wellll...I think I need to get me a copy of the first one so I could jump up and down screaming all crazy when this one comes out :) What amazing book covers have you discovered recently?? Leave a link/comment!

Teaser Tuesdays - Week 9

"Teaser Tuesdays" is a weekly meme hosted by Should Be Reading. Just do the following:


  • Grab your current read
  • Open to a random page
  • Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
  • BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
  • Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

My Teaser:

"Mhmm-hmm." I hop to the fridge for ice–which I wrap in a dishtowel and tie around my ankle–and the jug of ice tea. "If you need to use the bathroom...this might sound weird, but it's a composting toilet, so the toilet paper goes into–"
"No no, I'm good." Jacinda waves her hands. "I guess I just didn't expect you would have a bathroom in this kind of place."

Top Ten Tuesday - Week 11

"Top Ten Tuesday" is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Today's Top Ten is: Top Ten Characters I would want as Family Members. (btw: Love the new image for Top Ten Tuesday!)




1. Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I totally agree with The Broke and the Bookish. I would love to bond over with a sister like Elizabeth over books and stuff like that. She's just so strong and she could really stand up for me!


2. April Grace from In Front of God and Everybody by KD McCrite. I love this 11 year old girl. She's hilarious, loud-mouthed and amazingly smart for her age. She loves reading too!! (Review coming soon btw :D)


3. Sirius Black from Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling. I would love him as a fictional dad/guardian or whatever. He's just so amazingly awesome and seems like he'd die for his son/godchild (which he does :(...).


4. Bilbo Baggins from The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. I know, I know, he's a Hobbit! But he'd seem like an amazing grandfather. With a whole bunch of amazing stories to tell. Except for the ring part...that has to go.


5. Mia from The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot. I love how Mia takes care of her little brother Rocky so well! Wish I could have an older sister like that :).


6. Jane from Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë. I mean, she's young and all, but when she gets older, I would love her as a fictional mom. I mean, she's smart, loves literature and of course, the tragic and heartwarming romance is one thing I adore.


7. Junie B. Jones from Junie B. Jones by Barbara Park. This little girl is AH.MA.ZING. Love her hilarity (like April Grace!) and wish I had a little sister as crazy and silly as her.


8. Teddy from The Luxe by Anna Godbersen. I'd like him for an older brother! in the books, he's so sweet and caring to Elizabeth (even though she turned him down first) and he's an amazing friend.


9. Percy from Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan. I would like this guy to be my brother, doesn't matter if he's younger or older, but he's AWESOME!


10. Gale from The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I didn't like his as a perfect match for Katniss or whatever, but I think he's fierce, determined and cares for his family. Would like him as an older bro!


Well, that's my list! What's your Top Ten? Leave a link/comment!

Musing Mondays - Week 9

"Musing Mondays" is a weekly meme hosted by Should Be Reading. This week's question asks:

Do you have a favorite children’s book? Either one that you loved as a child, or one that you discovered later, and still enjoy? Tell us about it!


Well, I definitely did love reading when I was a kid and obviously, I still do.


One of my favorite books would be The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. I loved all his books, but this one was really my favorite :). I just loved all the drawings in it, and I loved the story as the caterpillar kept on eating and eating (and then become pretty hungry myself). *Sigh*...I just heard one of my friends mention it today in school and boy did that bring up a lot of memories!


Another one that I really loved was Junie B. Jones series by Barbara Park. I loved that amazing little girl! She just made me laugh and laugh, and I was so glad when my sister also read it when she grew up (of course, now she's older, so she won't read it). But it just brings back so many different memories with growing up in Kindergarten and the 1st Grade! I still have all the books though ;)


The Magic Tree House series of course was always a big favorite of mine. I loved all the titles, I loved everywhere they went and it really did teach me a whole bunch of facts that still stay with me! I remember it also helped me with a presentation on dolphins in Grade 5, and I still can remember how easy to understand those books were. I really loved the facts at the back. Read them over and over and over again. I know I still have this series somewhere as well!


Bailey School Kids by Debbie Dadey and Marcia Thronton Jones was a book series which I became literally, obsessed with. I used to look for all of them in the library, when I went to a bookstore I would buy nearly 10 of those books! I loved ones that were really creepy (well creepy as a child) like the werewolf or the loch ness monster one. The vampire ones were good as well. There are too many of these books I'm afraid, and I never got to read them all!


Well those were some of the books I enjoyed when I was younger. I believe I still have most of them and I still really cannot forget the impact they had on me. What's your answer to this question? Leave a link/comment!
