This weeks Question:

If you find a book you love, do you hunt down other books by that author?

Answer: Yes Yes Yes! I love it when I read books that take my breathe away because it doesn't happen very often so when I find an author who is able to do that I tend to stick with them. 

waiting on wednesday :)

Hey everyone Happy Wednesday! :)

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill atBreaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating. 

This week I am waiting on:
-Book: The Mephisto Covenant 
-Author:Trinity Faegen
-Pgs:400
-Release Date: Sept. 27, 2011

Synopsis:

Sasha is desperate to find out who murdered her father. When getting the answer means pledging her soul to Eryx, she unlocks a secret that puts her in grave danger—Sasha is Anabo, a daughter of Eve, and Eryx’s biggest threat.

A son of Hell, immortal, and bound to Earth forever, Jax looks
for redemption in the Mephisto Covenant—God’s promise he will find
peace in the love of an Anabo. After a thousand years, he’s finally found the girl he’s been searching for: Sasha.

With the threat of Eryx looming, Jax has to keep Sasha safe and
win her over. But can he? Will Sasha love him and give up her mortal life


My thoughts: This book kinda reminds me of The Goddess Test? Idk they sounds kind of similar, maybe it's because of the mythology incorporated in it, but I love mythology so I will definitely give this a go. Plus the cover looks beautiful!

Teaser Tuesday

Hey guys its another wonderful Tuesday...if you don't know what Teaser Tuesday is about here is a refresher:
Teaser Tuesdays are a meme hosted by Mizb of Should be Reading. Here are the rules if you wish to participate.

• 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 teaser

 

 

 Book: My Fair Godmother

Author: Janette Rallison

Synopsis:

Finding your one true love can be a Grimm experience!
After her boyfriend dumps her for her older sister, sophomore Savannah Delano wishes she could find a true prince to take her to the prom. Enter Chrissy (Chrysanthemum) Everstar: Savannah’s gum-chewing, cell phone–carrying, high heel-wearing Fair Godmother. Showing why she’s only Fair—because she’s not a very good fairy student—Chrissy mistakenly sends Savannah back in time to the Middle Ages, first as Cinderella, then as Snow White. Finally she sends Tristan, a boy in Savannah’s class, back instead to turn him into her prom-worthy prince. When Savannah returns to the Middle Ages to save Tristan, they must team up to defeat a troll, a dragon, and the mysterious and undeniably sexy Black Knight. Laughs abound in this clever fairy tale twist from a master of romantic comedy.

Save Earth Sunday :) and an awesome giveaway from Book Lungs

Hey everyone, I hope you're all having a terrific Sunday! I just found out that Book Lungs is having a HUGE giveaway so if you want to enter just click on the link here: Giveaway.

Save earth Sunday is an event I made to help the planet. Every week on Sunday I will post eco tips we can all use daily to help impact the earth. Together we can change the world! Feel free to post your own eco tip(s) as well and don't forget to leave me a link to your post so I can do it too.

Now moving onto the Earth. :) I just wanted to let you guys know that Earth Day is coming up on April 22, 2011. ( yay right after Easter!) So if you haven't already, I encourage you to try to think of a project you can do with your family, friends, community or by yourself to give back to the planet.

Here is a good story for Earth Day: An old man was planting a tree, then somebody asked him why he plants that which he cannot live long enough to enjoy its fruit. The old man answered; 'just as my grandparents planted a tree to which I've been nourished, so I plant for my grandchildren.' So people should not be merely "cutters" of trees but should plant them for the next generation to enjoy.

 That's it for today guys!
Love,
Veronica

follow friday

Hey everyone, I hope you're all having a great day because "life is meant to be lived." -Eleanor Roosevelt. :)
This weeks question from Follow Friday is:



Q. Do you have anyone that you can discuss books with IRL? Tell us about him/her.
A. I try to discuss books with my sister and cousins, but sadly we haven't been able to because everyone is so busy and we just read different books. I think I may have to join a book club or something if I want to talk about my latest read. (so if you recommend any sites or clubs, please let me know.) At first I used to hate reading, I literally despised it. But then when Twilight first came out my older sister and cousins convinced me to give it a go and luckily I did. We probably kept talking about that book for a few years afterward! 




xoxo Veronica.
