Waiting on Wednesday: THE HELP

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.

This week I've chosen something very different for me. If you follow this blog (or stop by from time to time), you know that I'm a paranormal/dystopian junkie. Seriously, they're like crack to a user. But today I've done a 180. Thanks to the constant pressuring from some coworkers, I've decided to pick what I would classify as a contemporary...

Tune in Tuesday (6)

Today it is once again time for Tune in Tuesdays, a really cool meme created by my friend Ginger (or "G" as I like to call her!) over at GReads! This is a super fun meme that is filled with all sorts of music sure to give you a boost of energy and make you smile.

My choice today is a song that I listen to literally every day (yeah, I'm like that). I don't really know what it is, but there's something about the music and the lyrics and the voice that sort of inspire me and help keep my head...

Monday Must Reads!...Wolves of Mercy Falls Trilogy!

Monday Must Reads! is a feature I created to showcase books that I think you, well, Must Read! (ha!).
Today's Must Read is actually a trilogy--and one that has been around for a bit. I know you've all heard of it, but I only recently picked up these books and read them. Beautiful writing, great story and heartfelt characters make this series a winner. What am I talking about? Why, none other than...

This Friday's Question:

Book Disappointments:

Have you ever come across a book
you were so stoked to read,
but it failed miserably
in your eyes?

Hmm, this one's a toughie. Sure, there have been plenty of books that I didn't enjoy (several classics I was forced to endure during high...

I Joined a Sock Hop!! Oh wait, I meant Blog Hop

Yes, though a Sock Hop is probably oodles and oodles of fun, so is this Blog Hop! And I'm sure I don't have to tell all of you what a Blog Hop is, right? I do? Um, okay.

The Author!Author! Blog Bounce is a blog hop to meet authors and discover fun new author blogs!

Pretty simple, right? I thought so. And a big thanks to my pal @TrishWolfe for tweeting this so I could hop on board and discover some great authors and blogs!

So hop on and join in the fun everybody!

Waiting on Wednesday: PARTIALS

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 only discovered this week's selection yesterday, and I'm kind of glad. Because if I had heard about it any sooner I would've had to pine over it even longer! It's YA. It's Dystopian. And it's cover is awesome. Please check out my WoW pick this week...

Here's...

My book has a cover!

Saturday, the awesome Alex at Electrifying Reviews hosted a cover reveal for Blood Born , my YA paranormal that comes out next spring (April 24th to be exact!). And so far, the response has been positive (which makes me SO happy!). But today, I thought I would post the cover here for anyone who has yet to see it. And because I love it just as much as everyone else!
Seriously, the designer behind it knew exactly where I was coming from in what I was asking for, like he stepped inside my head...
