Jalyn (jalynnie) | 3827 comments I just saw that the cover is out for Origin (Lux, #4) by Jennifer L. Armentrout in the Lux series and I'm bummed. I doesn't match the other covers very well.

Wow. That really doesn't match any of them at all! I hate when that happens with book covers! I haven't read the Lux series (yet), but I know what the covers look like and that cover doesn't even go with them at all!

Haha. I'm actually making a Waiting on Wednesday post about the book, and I've been intending on saying how much I don't like the cover. I'm so happy I'm not the only one.

No, it really doesn't :( Oh well, as long as the book is as good as the rest of the series then I can deal with the cover!

Jalyn (jalynnie) | 3827 comments Does anybody know of any good websites to find book signings in the US, particularly YA authors? I've only ever been to one signing and I'd really like to go to some more, but I haven't found much on the web. Any suggestions?

But I love how angry Daemon looks.I think this is the way Jennifer is telling us that the book will focus on more action than romance.


message 2217: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) No reading for me today. Nope, my day will be full of rafting, barbecue, fireworks, and a lot of funny moments with one of my best friends and her family.

Happy fourth of July to my fellow Americans. I hope you have a great day celebrating in some way. :)

Greta (goodreadsgreta) | 4545 comments my friend just came back from Ireland. she said it was the friendliest place and would love to live there!


message 2224: by Jalyn (new)

Jalyn (jalynnie) | 3827 comments I'd love to visit Ireland! All the pictures I've seen make it look so beautiful. If it really looks like that then I would probably want to live there too!

Jalyn (jalynnie) | 3827 comments I'm feeling the need to smack myself on the head. I just sent a message to an author and I realized that I didn't use proper English after I sent the message. Nothing makes you feel as dumb as that! :(


message 2239: by [deleted user] (new)

And incorrect English to an author is the worst! I've done that before Jalyn, join the club :(

Headaches are the reason I haven't been able to read much lately. Pollen and dust in the air are messing up my head!

Jalyn (jalynnie) | 3827 comments My oldest son is starting Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. I'm glad he is finally ready to read it! He stopped last time because the 4th book scared him, but he's a year older now so hopefully it won't be a problem for him :)

I think every person alive should someday read the Harry Potter books! I hope he likes it better this time :)

I think I only read 2 books the first time around. I've already read 3 also and am half way through my 4th :)

Jalyn (jalynnie) | 3827 comments Help?

1.Does anybody know of any author/book signing conventions, particularly ones with YA authors, in the US? I'd really like to go to one :)

2. Does anybody know of any good book swapping groups here on goodreads or even a website for people in the US?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
