Back Between Pages

I am now back into my regular reading and posting swing so I'm going to catch you all up on what's been going on in my world.


Juliet Immortal by Stacey Jay
I've already read this! I finished it and decided that I absolutely had to own it. It's a hauntingly beautiful read with the best ending ever. It's about Romeo and Juliet, except, now. In our time. In other words, AWESOMESAUCE.  
Amplified by Tara Kelly
Cover. Look at that COVER. Please, take your time. ;) Besides that...I, um, vaguely remembered seeing it before and thinking it sounded interesting. It's about a girl joining an all-guy band. And rooming with them. Interesting? I think so.
Entice (Need #3) by Carrie Jones
I bought Captivate (the second book in the series) a while ago and loved it. The whole pixie thing in our modern world was so interesting, and it totally helped that the main character Zara was completely awesome. 
I'm reading a few books right now if "a few" means four. I never used to read that many at once but I've kind of gotten into doing it that way. Most of them are for review but some are just because I want to. *grins* [Click on the photos to go to the Goodreads pages.]

I got this gorgeousness in the mail today! It looks so perfect next to #2 of the same series. ;)  [You can also click on the photo to go to the Goodreads page.]

I've been busy getting ready for college and so far I have lots of bedding stuff. Hehe. It's so much more difficult to pack then I thought it would be (when I was an innocent child). I'm SO scared that I'll forget something. XD So there's the college update.

WHAT I'M WEARING NOW: A greenish/tealish and white striped shirt that's a little big and brown knee-length leggings. Also my glasses. 
WHAT I'M LISTENING TO: La Da Dee by Cody Simpson. Suprise!! Hey, it's super catchy. :P
I JUST FINISHED READING...Daughter of the Goddess Lands by Sandra Saidak. I recommend it. :) A review will be coming in a week or so. 
WEATHER IS...See? I do go outside. Sometimes. It's kinda muggy and humid and icky.

      So far, I don't really know what to think of it. I kinda like it, kinda don't.

    I'm excited to see what you think of Eve & Adam. I didn't really like it, like at all, but I felt like it was also entertaining, so I didn't really know what to think of it in the end. I'm excited you're back!

      Hmm..it's difficult for me to put into words. It's sort of 50/50 for me right now. I'm not sure I like the main character that much though.

      Haha, yay! (Finally.) Which cover? The Julianna Deering one? If that's the on you're talking about, I SO agree. I love the abstract-ness of it.

      Thanks! Can't wait to read through all of them. :)

    Murder at the Mikado looks delightful! I thought it was an adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing, to begin with, because I got the words mixed up somehow, but I'm definitely going to look into it- it sounds really interesting and I love that cover, too!

      It does, doesn't it :D So far I've read the second book in this series (Murder at the Mikado is the third) which is kind of backward I admit heh but it was absolutely great! The whole mystery part was MINDBLOWING. I probably would recommend reading the first book first though because I think it has some important backstory and events. :)

    THAT AMPLIFIED COVER IS SO GORGEOUS. I understand why you had to buy it. I can't wait to see what you think! (If it's good, I might have to buy myself a copy, too.)

      OH MY GOSH I KNOW RIGHT. I think my heart fluttered when I saw it. I really, really hope it's good!! (Hey, I cannot pass up this chance to influence you like you helped make me read The Help ;))

Waiting on Wednesday {2}

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine where you talk about books that you can't wait to read, but that are, unfortunately, not published yet.   In a Handful of Dust by Mindy McGinnis Publication date: September 23, 2014 Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books The only thing bigger than the world is fear. Lucy’s life by the pond has always been full. She has water and friends, laughter and the love of her adoptive mother, Lynn, who has made sure that Lucy’s childhood was very different from her own. Yet it seems Lucy’s future is settled already—a house, a man, children, and a water source—and anything beyond their life by the pond is beyond reach. When disease burns through their community, the once life-saving water of the pond might be the source of what’s killing them now. Rumors of desalinization plants in California have lingered in Lynn’s mind, and the prospect of a “normal” life for Lucy sets the two of them on an epi

Book Haul + My First Guest Post (!)

Guys, guys, guys, guys. I did my very first guest post at Tansie Gray's blog Totally Tansie  and it was awesome collaborating with her! Tansie's blog is full of hilarious book reviews, rants, and writing tips. I had a great time writing the post: "10 Ways to Make Your Sister Mad"  I'd love it if you could pop over to Totally Tansie and check it out (And maybe leave a comment. Hint, hint). [][][][][][][][] I also went to my favorite used-books store last Sunday. I didn't get as many books as usual...Not many YA novels *gasp*. I felt unfulfilled. But I didn't want to spend what the books cost, so I snatched a few middle-grade types.  1. Princess Sonora and the Long Sleep by Gail Carson Levine A short fairytale re-telling of Sleeping Beauty in a funny, simple way. It's very  short. 107 pages short. 2.   The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan Book 2 of the Percy Jackson series! Now I can finally read it and see how it measures up to th

Airplanes and Sky

Remember when I talked about big travel things that I was going to do this summer? THE TIME. HAS. COME. IT IS HERE. YAY. As you can probably tell, I'm just a little excited. Me and my family are headed to Taiwan this summer for my uncle's wedding and since plane trips aren't really a regular thing for us, it'll be awesome.  If you know me even a little bit, you know that I love  traveling and gosh I'm just so excited to be able to be in and see another culture for a little while. *happy dance* Another reason I'm writing this is to tell you about how I get ready for major trips and whatever little tips I use to make traveling easier. Maybe they'll help you in a future trip. ^^ Any trip needs music, but especially one where there are multiple long layovers and a hugely long flight over the Pacific Ocean. I've been updating the music on my phone (music helps me sleep so much better too), which is fun and boring at the sa
