My lovely siblings use my laptop alot and most of the time they use it until the battery dies. They do this and then try to plug it up to charge it to find that the plug is broken...crazyness and very very sad Elaina. So I ordered a plug Memorial Day weekend and it took FOREVER to get here. Bright side I have my plug and beautiful laptop back. YAY!<br />
<br />
So I have alot of catching up to do. I'm going to post the winner for the Splash into Summer giveaway Hop in a little while. Then I have some reviews to post and another giveaway. The giveaway will be posted hopefully tomorrow.<br />

That leaves plain old Lily living on land, dating the boy she loves, and trying to master this being human thing once and for all.<br />
<br />
Now that Lily and Quince are together, mer-bond or not, she’s almost content to give up her place in the royal succession of Thalassinia. But just when she thinks she has everything figured out, Lily’s father sends a certain whirlpool-stirring cousin to stay with her on land. What did Doe do to get herself exiled from Thalassinia and stuck in terraped form, when everyone knows how much she hates humans? And why why why is she batting her eyelashes at Lily’s former crush, Brody?<br />
<br />
The seafoam on the surf comes when a merboy from Lily’s past shows up. Tellin asks Lily for something that clouds her view of the horizon. There’s a future with Quince on land, her loyalty to the kingdom in the sea, and Lily tossing on the waves in the middle. Will she find a way to reconcile her love, her duty, and her dreams?</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

Unrequited love is hard enough when you’re a normal teenage girl, but when you’re half human, half mermaid like Lily, there’s no such thing as a simple crush.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Lily’s mermaid identity is a secret that can’t get out, since she’s not just any mermaid – she’s a Thalassinian princess. When Lily found out three years ago that her mother was actually a human, she finally realized why she didn’t feel quite at home in Thalassinia, and she’s been living on land and going to Seaview high school ever since, hoping to find where she truly belongs. Sure, land has its problems – like her obnoxious, biker boy neighbor Quince Fletcher – but it has that one major perk – Brody. The problem is, mermaids aren’t really the casual dating type – when they “bond,” it’s for life.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">When Lily’s attempt to win Brody’s love leads to a tsunami-sized case of mistaken identity, she is in for a tidal wave of relationship drama, and she finds out, quick as a tailfin flick, that happily-ever-after never sails quite as smoothly as you planned</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">I started this book one night after work and I stayed up until I finished it, which didn't take long. You fly through this book laughing the whole time. I've read Oh. My. Gods. by Tera and I loved it. I'm really glad this one didn't disappoint.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">The cover is gorgeous and its one of the main reasons that I picked this book up to read. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"> The story line is great Lily is the girl that most of us are in high school.

<br />
I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm posting the contest winners Sunday evening. The past couple of days I had trouble with blogger where it wouldn't let me do anything. Also I'm super excited because a friend of mine made the last minute decision to go to Columbia this weekend and she agreed to take me along so that I could go to the SC Book Festival. I'm beyond excited because I've been dying to go. So Sunday expect a post of me gushing about the awesomeness plus contest winners and a huge IMM. I hope everyone has a great weekend.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><b>My Review:</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">I love Prologues they are a great way to help readers decided if they want to read a book. It also lends a lot of suspense to the book because it gives a glimpse of things the readers has to look forward to. That said The Gathering has a great start and I started the book already on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next. From there the book just gets better. I really like the characters they were all really well developed and I was able to get a feel for how I felt about each of them. Maya's character is amazing, she is a strong independent young woman who knows what she wants and goes for it. I love her boldness in situations and kind of wish I could be like that sometimes, combined with her sarcasm it makes her voice really awesome. I wonder if Maya with let me borrow Daniel as my guy best friend and super hottie? Then there is Rafe mysterious, bad boy who I was falling for but then the ending has me confused about my feelings. We shall see. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">The plot is good, really fast paced. There are a lot mysterious things happening in this small town! However the main thing that I found most surprising was how cooperative all of the kids were with different things. I know that its because of the way they were raised but they are really accepting of alot of things. The ending...a cliffhanger...those make me so sad because now I have to wait a year to find out what happens next. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">I've read the Darkest Powers series so it was really interesting to see names that I recognized from that series. </span><br />

And since curse work is illegal, they're all mobsters, or con artists. Except for Cassel. He hasn't got the magic touch, so he's an outsider, the straight kid in a crooked family. You just have to ignore one small detail — he killed his best friend, Lila, three years ago.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"></span>Ever since, Cassel has carefully built up a façade of normalcy, blending into the crowd. But his façade starts crumbling when he starts sleepwalking, propelled into the night by terrifying dreams about a white cat that wants to tell him something. He's noticing other disturbing things, too, including the strange behavior of his two brothers. They are keeping secrets from him, caught up in a mysterious plot. As Cassel begins to suspect he's part of a huge con game, he also wonders what really happened to Lila. Could she still be alive? To find that out, Cassel will have to out-con the conmen.<br />

I'm not sure why it took me so long because it jumps right into the action. *Excuse me as I go kick myself for taking so long*.<br />

</div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4;">I loved Cassel's character! I like reading books from a guys point of view and White Cat doesn't </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">disappoint. My favorite thing about him was the way he talked about the con. I like his matter of fact tone about his family and their mob like style of doing things. Of all of his family his grandfather is my favorite, for being a Death Worker he is a pretty cool guy. Its hard to talk about the characters I didn't like because of spoilers, but the characters where all beautifully written I just didn't like them as "people". </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">The plot of White Cat is very well written and fast paced. Holly Black keeps the readers on their toes the whole time. I spent most of the book shocked, especially the end.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"> Dearest Holly Black why must you kill me with that ending. WHY?! Overall the whole book was really good. The story was well developed and very very original. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">The good thing about me taking so long to read White Cat is that Red Glove the second book is already out! If you haven't already I definitely recommend that you read a copy of White Cat also if you haven't already you should read her Fey series(Its awesome!).

So I'm really excited this has been such an awesome month of blogging and making new blog friends. Also I have just over 300 followers (HAPPY DANCE). I love all of the comments ya'll are leaving for me, everyone is soo nice. I'm working on returning all of the new follows that i'm getting.<br />
<br />
The Contest has had an amazing response and I'm super excited to pick a winner. However this week I have finals (not to excited about this). I wouldn't be able to pick winners right away so what i'm going to do is extend the contest for a week. So the last day to enter is May 6th at 11:59 pm EST. Then I will post the winner Saturday May 7th. If you haven't entered yet you should check it our <a href="http://newreadingmania.blogspot.com/2011/03/first-blog-post-and-announcement-of.html">HERE</a>.<br />
<br />
This week I am also taking part in the Spring Carnival Blog Hop so look out for that for a chance to win another gift card. That giveaway will be going up in a few minutes.<br />
<br />
I've been talking about doing Paranormal Romance, Urban Fantasy, ETC.. weekends. I have since then decided that I'm going to do a separate blog for reviews and such containing these. This is so that I can keep this as a strictly YA blog. For the first few weeks I'm going to post links here for reviews and such that I do for readers that read more than just YA. This is just so that I can spread the word about my new blog.<br />
The blog is called <a href="http://alatenightreader.blogspot.com/">A Late Night Reader</a>.<br />

<span style="border-collapse: collapse; font-style: italic; line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">From #1 New York Times bestselling author Ann Brashares comes the welcome return of the characters whose friendship became a touchstone for a generation. Now Tibby, Lena, Carmen, and Bridget have grown up, starting their lives on their own. And though the jeans they shared are long gone, the sisterhood is everlasting.<br />
<br />
Despite having jobs and men that they love, each knows that something is missing: the closeness that once sustained them. Carmen is a successful actress in New York, engaged to be married, but misses her friends. Lena finds solace in her art, teaching in Rhode Island, but still thinks of Kostos and the road she didn’t take. Bridget lives with her longtime boyfriend, Eric, in San Francisco, and though a part of her wants to settle down, a bigger part can’t seem to shed her old restlessness.<br />
<br />
Then Tibby reaches out to bridge the distance, sending the others plane tickets for a reunion that they all breathlessly await. And indeed, it will change their lives forever—but in ways that none of them could ever have expected.<br />
<br />
As moving and life-changing as an encounter with long-lost best friends, Sisterhood Everlasting is a powerful story about growing up, losing your way, and finding the courage to create a new one.</span></span></span><br />

Now she must return to the protection of her pride knowing she might never see Will again—and worse, that because his mind has been shaded, Will’s memories of that fateful night and why she had to flee are gone.<br />
<br />
Back home, Jacinda is greeted with hostility and must work to prove her loyalty for both her sake and her family’s. Among the few who will even talk to her are Cassian, the pride’s heir apparent who has always wanted her, and her sister, Tamra, who has been forever changed by a twist of fate. Jacinda knows that she should forget Will and move on—that if he managed to remember and keep his promise to find her, it would only endanger them both. Yet she clings to the hope that someday they will be together again. When the chance arrives to follow her heart, will she risk everything for love?<br />

So needless to say I was really excited about reading The Goddess Test. I'm really happy to day that I wasn't disappointed at all. <br />
<br />
The plot was AMAZING. The prologue grabs your attention right away and it doesn't let go. From the beginning you have so many questions and you want to know what is happening what has happened and what will happen. Theres is never a dull moment and you keep reading until the book is done and even then you keep thinking about the story. Aimee Carter is an awesome writer and I love the way she tells this story. I can't wait to learn more about this world she has created. Kate's character was my favorite she is so strong and the stuff she goes through at the beginning I could never handle. The characters are all really well developed and I liked all of them except of course for the "bad guy". I loved the way the characters and story were all intertwined and how it came together at the end. The ending was a huge surprise for me and I loved it!<br />
<br />
The Goddess Test is the first in a trilogy. The second book called Goddess Interrupted will be out February 2012 and the 3rd book doesn't have a title yet but will be out in late 2012. I personally think this is too far away but I will attempt to be patient.

But it only took one moment to change everything.</div><div style="color: #181818; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Suddenly, my sister, Georgia, and I were orphans. We put our lives into storage and moved to Paris to live with my grandparents. And I knew my shattered heart, my shattered life, would never feel normal again. Then I met Vincent.</div><div style="color: #181818; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Mysterious, sexy, and unnervingly charming, Vincent Delacroix appeared out of nowhere and swept me off my feet. Just like that, I was in danger of losing my heart all over again. But I was ready to let it happen.</div><div style="color: #181818; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Of course, nothing is ever that easy. Because Vincent is no normal human. He has a terrifying destiny, one that puts his life at risk every day. He also has enemies . . . immortal, murderous enemies who are determined to destroy him and all of his kind.</div><div style="color: #181818; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">While I'm fighting to piece together the remnants of my life, can I risk putting my heart—as well as my life and my family's—in jeopardy for a chance at love?</div><div style="color: #181818; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><b>My Review:</b></div><div style="color: #181818; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">I very rarely read e-books on my ipod (even though I have pretty much every e-reader app) because the screen is kind of small. Anyway I normally make it my personal mission to not leave the house without a book, but I failed a few days ago. However I had my ipod already loaded with my e-galleys from Netgalley so I was able to start Die for Me.</div><div style="color: #181818; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #181818; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Once I started Die for Me I couldn't stop I sat and read the book in one sitting. I'm pretty sure that the imprint from my bedazzled case is permanently imprinted on my hand. The plot and characters where both so original. I love the idea of Revenants. The plot keeps the readers engaged the whole time because you don't want to miss what will happen next. There were a few times when the story was kinda predictable but the surprises in the rest of the book make up for it. </div><div style="color: #181818; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><br />

They were able to find true love really early in their life and it has lasted so many years. I do get the impression that there is more to them than meets the eye. I guess we will learn more about them in book 2. Jules and Ambrose are really funny and I their characters are developed really well. Then there is the relationship between Kate and Vincent man oh man it melted my socks off. I can't wait for the next book!<br />

She has spent years keeping everyone at a distance—-even her closest friends—-and it seems as if her senior year is going to be more of the same . . . until Luc Cain enrolls in her class. No one knows where he came from, but Frannie can’t seem to stay away from him. </div><div style="color: #181818; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;">What she doesn’t know is that Luc is on a mission. He’s been sent from Hell itself to claim Frannie’s soul. It should be easy—-all he has to do is get her to sin, and Luc is as tempting as they come. Frannie doesn’t stand a chance. But he has to work fast, because if the infernals are after her, the celestials can’t be far behind. And sure enough, it’s not long before the angel Gabriel shows up, willing to do anything to keep Luc from getting what he came for. It isn’t long before they find themselves fighting for more than just Frannie’s soul.</div><div style="color: #181818; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;">But if Luc fails, there will be Hell to pay . . . for all of them.</div><div style="color: #181818; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><br />

But you can’t desert Hell without consequences, and suddenly Frannie and Luc find themselves targeted by the same demons who used to be Luc’s allies.</div><div style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;">Left with few options, Frannie and Luc accept the protection of Heaven and one of its most powerful angels, Gabe. Unfortunately, Luc isn’t the only one affected by Frannie, and it isn’t long before Gabe realizes that being around her is too…tempting. Rather than risk losing his wings, he leaves Frannie and Luc under the protection of her recently-acquired guardian angel.</div><div style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;">Which would be fine, but Gabe is barely out the door before an assortment of demons appears—and they’re not leaving without dragging Luc back to Hell with them. Hell won’t give up and Heaven won’t give in. Frannie’s guardian exercises all the power he has to keep them away, but the demons are willing to hurt anyone close to Frannie in order to get what they want. It will take everything she has and then some to stay out of Hell’s grasp.</div><div style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;">And not everyone will get out of it alive.</div>ereader89http://www.blogger.com/profile/08866776900933047878noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7304684712173777348.post-63747859073312448342011-04-26T13:12:00.000-04:002011-04-26T13:12:19.648-04:00NRR BookGiveaway<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">They are giving away 21 really awesome books! </span></span><br />
