Waiting on Wednesday (64)

Hosted at Breaking the Spine, spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

I am eagerly waiting for... 

Days of Blood and Starlight

(Daughter of Smoke and Bone 2)

Laini Taylor

November 6 2012

Goodreads:

Once upon a time, an angel and a devil fell in love and dared to imagine a new way of living – one without massacres and torn throats and bonfires of the fallen, without revenants or bastard armies or children ripped from their mothers’ arms to take their turn in the killing and dying.

Once, the lovers lay entwined in the moon’s secret temple and dreamed of a world that was a like a jewel-box without a jewel – a paradise waiting for them to find it and fill it with their happiness.

This was not that world.

Why am I waiting for it?

I pretty much fell in love with The Daughter of Smoke and Bone after the first chapter. Though I didn’t like the ending’s switch to the past, I’m still very excited to read the sequel!  

Teaser Tuesday (63)

Romeo Redeemed
by Stacey Jay

~Temptress~

“Hold on a second.” A memory of the store window flickers through my mind. “Get in there and get naked,” I say, heading toward the front of the store.

“Now, that’s what I’ve been waiting to hear.” The words are softly spoken, even a little shy, but there’s no missing the sultry note in her tone.

          I turn to find her watching me with that look in her eye, the hungry one that makes me even hungrier. Innocent girl, my ass. I don’t care if she did have her first kiss only two days ago. Ariel is a temptress, and I am…weak, weakening, weaken-est.

Musing Mondays (52) &It's Monday! (50)

 Hosted by Should Be Reading.

 This week’s musing is…

~What distracts you when you really "should be reading"?~

Haha. For me, it's mostly what reading is distracting me from doing. Like homework, writing new pages, editing old pages, working on new projects, etc.

Ok, so last week I didn't get to do this, so this load is two weeks worth of reading :D

Just Finished Reading:

The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by N.K. Jemisin

(It took a while to get into the epicness of it all, but once I did, I devoured the book in two days. I'm thinking of ordering the second one too.)

Intangible by J. Meyers

(Started out awesome...then it lost me...)

Sweet Shadows by Tera Lynn Childs
(Sweet baby godlings of myth! Even better than the first book. The Medusa girls are among my favorite YA heroines right now)

Defiance by C.J.Redwine

(Revenge, defiant girl, cool tech, a dragon, and a cute boy!)


Currently Reading: 

A Fractured Light by Jocelyn Davies
(After Lauren Kate's Fallen, only Unearthly and this series got my approval where angels are concerned. Also, the first book's cliffhanger killed me lol)
Mechanique by Genevive Valentine
(Class book! Steampunk, not sure what to expect. But I've liked all the class books this term so I'm hoping this one too follows the trend)
             

Planning To Read:

Caliban's War by James S.A. Corey
(Since Leviathan Wakes blew my f-ing mind away I decided I might as well continue the series, even if it means I'll do nothing else from the moment I open the book to the moment I finish that last page)
