Tomorrow Is An Amazing Day To Celebrate The Release Of Two Very Amazing Books! Both Of These Books Have Already Been Spotted In Barnes & Nobles' Across The USA.

First Is Prophecy of the Sisters by Michelle Zink

Photobucket

Synopsis

An ancient prophecy divides two sisters-

One good...

One evil...

Who will prevail?


Twin sisters Lia and Alice Milthorpe have just become orphans. They have also become enemies. As they discover their roles in a prophecy that has turned generations of sisters against each other, the girls find themselves entangled in a mystery that involves a tattoo-like mark, their parents' deaths, a boy, a book, and a lifetime of secrets.

Lia and Alice don't know whom they can trust.

They just know they can't trust each other.

Next Book Up Is Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater

shiver

Synopsis

The Cold.

The Heat.

The Shiver.


For years, Grace has watched the wolves in the woods behind her house. One yellow-eyed wolf--her wolf--is a chilling presence she can't seem to live without. Meanwhile, Sam has lived two lives: In winter, the frozen woods, the protection of the pack, and the silent company of a fearless girl. In summer, a few precious months of being human . . . until the cold makes him shift back again.

Now, Grace meets a yellow-eyed boy whose familiarity takes her breath away. It's her wolf. It has to be. But as winter nears, Sam must fight to stay human--or risk losing himself, and Grace, forever.

Wishlist Wednesday (8)

This Week's Book Is Tempted (House of Night Series #6) by P. C. Cast And Kristin Cast

Tempted

Synopsis

So…you’d think after banishing an immortal being and a fallen High Priestess, saving Stark’s life, biting Heath, getting a headache from Erik, and almost dying, Zoey Redbird would catch a break. Sadly, a break is not in the House of Night school forecast for the High Priestess in training and her gang. Juggling three guys is anything but a stress reliever, especially when one of them is a sexy Warrior who is so into protecting Zoey that he can sense her emotions. Speaking of stress, the dark force lurking in the tunnels under the Tulsa Depot is spreading, and Zoey is beginning to believe Stevie Rae could be responsible for a lot more than a group of misfit red fledglings. Aphrodite’s visions warn Zoey to stay away from Kalona and his dark allure, but they also show that it is Zoey who has the power to stop the evil immortal. Soon it becomes obvious that Zoey has no choice: if she doesn’t go to Kalona he will exact a fiery vengeance on those closest to her. Will Zoey have the courage to chance losing her life, her heart, and her soul? Find out in the next spectacular installment in the House of Night Series, Tempted.

I Love, Love, Love The House Of Night Series!!
I Can't Wait!

So What's On Your Wishlist?

A former classmate—who, um, she may or may not have turned into a vampire—is stalking her. And now, apparently, the fate of humankind lies in her little undead hands.

Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater

shiver

Synopsis

The Cold.

The Heat.

The Shiver.

For years, Grace has watched the wolves in the woods behind her house. One yellow-eyed wolf--her wolf--is a chilling presence she can't seem to live without. Meanwhile, Sam has lived two lives: In winter, the frozen woods, the protection of the pack, and the silent company of a fearless girl. In summer, a few precious months of being human . . . until the cold makes him shift back again.

Now, Grace meets a yellow-eyed boy whose familiarity takes her breath away. It's her wolf. It has to be. But as winter nears, Sam must fight to stay human--or risk losing himself, and Grace, forever.

My Review:

I Absolutely Hate Comparing This Book To Another, But I Haven't Read An Agonizingly Sad Love Story This Good Since Twilight. It Has Nothing To Do With Being Like Twilight, It Just Makes You Feel The Emotions, Again. I Am Still Shaking and Shivering From The Amazement That Is Shiver. From The Moment You Open This Book You're Instantly Swept Up Into This Amazing Love That's Impossible For You Not To Feel Yourself. The Longing, The Sadness. It's All There And Very Clear. Maggie Has A Wonderful Ability Of Writing In Such Amazing Detail, From the Emotions In One's Eyes To Their Body Language. You Will Feel The Emotions In This Book. I Truly Cried On More Than One Occasion. I Found Myself Floating And Tingling Every Time I Stopped Reading For A Moment. And When I Was All finished It Took Me Nearly 2 Hours To Snap Out Of The Fog. Sam And Grace Are Amazing Characters Who Have Not So Perfect Lives. They Overcome Their Pain With The Love They Have For Each Other. I Also Love That This Book Is Told In Both Sam And Grace's Point Of View. There Are Little Secrets And Lyrics Hidden In The Pages Of Shiver. The Other Characters In This Book Tie-In In Very Surprising Ways. This Book Will Leave You Satisfied But Craving The Next Installment. Although, The Book Is Entitled Shiver, It's Very Hot and Heavy In An Amazing Way. Twilight Can Reign Over The Vampire World, But Shiver Just Won Wolf Kingdom!! I Highly Recommend This Book!

Rating 5/5

Something About Necks...

So, I Was Looking At My Stack Of Books When I Noticed A Lot Of Them Are Just An Amazing Photograph Or Drawing Of A Neck.

Photobucket

1. Chosen by PC + Kristin Cast

Photobucket

2. Dance With A Vampire by Ellen Schrieber

Photobucket

3. Blood Promise by Richelle Mead

Photobucket

4. Blue Bloods by Melissa De La Cruz

So The First Four Up Are About Vampires. So It Makes Sense That It Would Be A Shot Of A Neck. I Have To Say Blood Promise And Dance With A Vampire Are All Pretty Good.

Photobucket

6. Need by Carrie Jones

This One Is Of Fairies. I Have To Say Of All The Covers. Need Is My Favorite. It Seems More Sensual And It Looks Like She's Sighing. I Can Feel The Real Desperation And NEED, Just By Looking At This Book.

What Do You Think?

What Do You Look For In A Book Cover?

FINALLY....

So If You Haven't Figured It Out.. I've Been Gone! My Internet Modem Crashed And I Couldn't Access It On My Computer. When, The Cable Guy Came To Fix It.. He Said My Computer Was Messed Up. So I Took My LapTop To Best Buy For Them To Tell Me Nothing Was Wrong With My Computer. That The Internet Connection Is What Had To Be Wrong. So, I Called My Cable Company And They Said I Had To Wait Two Days For The Cable Guy To Come Out. This Time I Actually Got A Girl. She Zapped My Modem, And Viola! I'm Back! That Guy Really Burned A Fire Under Me. He Truly Said Nothing's Wrong With The Modem.. When It Was What Crashed. What A Butt! LOL! Anyways, During My Hell Week, I Managed To Venture Off To The Book Store To Try And Stay Sane...

And I Found These Babies!!
