Three Line Thursdays!

Since I have officially passed the two month mark until the release of my very first novel (holy crap, it's less than 2 months!!), I thought that a really neat idea would be to give a few teases to you guys from said novel. Fun, huh?! Hold applause.


So, I created Three-line Thursdays!


It's simple, really. Every Thursday between now and the release of BLOOD BORN, I'm going to tease you guys with three random lines from the book! I'll treat this just like Teaser Tuesdays, by turning to random...

Waiting on Wednesday..UNTOUCHED!

The lovely Jill (a fellow Alabamian!) over at Breaking the Spine created the Waiting on Wednesday meme for us bloggers to showcase books we're waiting on.


Okay, so if you happen to visit my blog on Wednesdays, then you'll surely notice that today's selection has been a WoW pick before. But I just had to pick it this week because the author just posted the blurb and I got all giddy and excited again! So, as before, if you haven't already, please add to your TBR lists...

Tune in Tuesday...Book Playlists!

Tune in Tuesday is a very cool feature created by the awesome blogger Ginger (or G, as I like to call her!) over at GReads!. It's rather pretty simple: Each Tuesday, post a favorite song/video for others to enjoy. 


For the month of March, G has decided to tie the worlds of music and books together (like we all do constantly, right?!) by creating Tune in Tuesday: Book Playlists Edition (how cool is that?). So, for the next four weeks, choose a song from either a book's playlist (or maybe your o...

Review: CINDER by Marissa Meyer

CINDER
by Marissa Meyer
pub date 1/3/2012
product description from goodreads.com

Humans and androids crowd the raucous streets of New Beijing. A deadly plague ravages the population. From space, a ruthless lunar people watch, waiting to make their move. No one knows that Earth's fate hinges on one girl... Cinder, a gifted mechanic, is a cyborg. She's a second-class citizen with a mysterious past, reviled by her stepmother and blamed for her stepsister's illness. But when her life becomes...

Waiting on Wednesday...FLAWED!

The lovely Jill (a fellow Alabamian!) over at Breaking the Spine created the Waiting on Wednesday meme for us bloggers to showcase books we're waiting on.


I am super-duper excited about this week's selection. I've recently "met" the author via Twitter, and she's fun and quirky and very nice, which makes me want to read her book even more! But even without "knowing" her, the awesome description below is MORE than enough! Judge for yourselves!
