Title: Fated (Soul Seekers #1) Author: Alyson Noel Pages: 306 Publisher: St. Martins Press Release Date : May 22, 2012 Summary (Goodreads) Lately strange things have been happening to Daire Santos. Animals follow her, crows mock her, and glowing people appear out of nowhere. Worried that Daire is having a nervous breakdown, her mother packs her off to stay in the dusty plains of Enchantment, New Mexico with a grandmother she’s never met. There she crosses paths with Dace, a gorgeous guy with unearthly blue eyes who she’s encountered before...but only in her dreams. And she’ll get to know her grandmother—a woman who recognizes Daire’s bizarre episodes for what they are. A call to her true destiny as a Soul Seeker, one who can navigate between the worlds of the living and the dead. Her grandmother immediately begins teaching her to harness her powers—but it’s an art that must be mastered quickly. Because Dace’s brother is an evil shape-shifter who’s out ...

Why We Crave Fame “Celebrity-in-Hiding.” When I first started writing THE SUMMER OF NO REGRETS, I didn’t want to admit how much that idea intrigued me. I’m a lot like my main character, Brigitta—all about finding the meaning of life, not fantasizing over whether the guy next door is a movie star. When I bought a National Enquirer, I explained to the grocery store clerk that it was for research — that I was writing a book (“Yes,” I told her modestly, “I am an author.”) I certainly didn’t normally read that sort of thing. Of course not. Well, okay, maybe the headlines. Occasionally. But as I read through stacks of People and Star and Us (which is a lot like eating sugar cubes all day long), and more stacks of celebrity biographies, I started to wonder what the deal is about fame. Why does it fascinate us? Why do we love the idea of either being famous or being connected to somebody famous? I think it’s because we’ve got some interesting ideas about “being known.” If I...

Q: Fight! Fight! If you could have two fictional characters battle it out (preferably from books), who would they be and who do you think would win? I would say a fight between Cassian (Firelight) and Alex (Angel Burn). This would be an interesting battle between Angel killer and dragon (Onyx- which is one of the strongest) I think it would be a bit of an even battle but overall my decision of who would probably win is Cassian. I love both characters and they are both hot. :)  Which do you think would win from my choice??

Title: Pushing The Limits Author: Katie McGarry Pages: 384 Publisher: Harlequin Teen Release Date: July 31, 2012  Summary: ( Goodreads )    "I won't tell anyone, Echo. I promise." Noah tucked a curl behind my ear. It had been so long since someone touched me like he did. Why did it have to be Noah Hutchins? His dark brown eyes shifted to my covered arms. "You didn't do that-did you? It was done to you?" No one ever asked that question. They stared. They whispered. They laughed. But they never asked.  "An edgy romance that pulls you in and never lets go. I was hooked!"-Gena Showalter,   New York Times bestselling author of the Intertwined series So wrong for each other...and yet so right.     No one knows what happened the night Echo Emerson went from popular girl with jock boyfriend to gossiped-about outsider with "freaky" scars on her arms. Even Echo can't remember the whole truth of that horrible night. All she kn...

Title: This Is Not A Test Author: Courtney Summers Pages: 336 Publisher: St. Martin's Griffin  Expected Publication: June 19, 2012  Summary: (Goodreads) It’s the end of the world. Six students have taken cover in Cortege High but shelter is little comfort when the dead outside won’t stop pounding on the doors. One bite is all it takes to kill a person and bring them back as a monstrous version of their former self. To Sloane Price, that doesn’t sound so bad. Six months ago, her world collapsed and since then, she’s failed to find a reason to keep going. Now seems like the perfect time to give up. As Sloane eagerly waits for the barricades to fall, she’s forced to witness the apocalypse through the eyes of five people who actually want to live. But as the days crawl by, the motivations for survival change in startling ways and soon the group’s fate is determined less and less by what’s happening outside and more and more by the unpredictable and violent bids...

Title: Meant To Be Author: Lauren Morrill  Pages: 290 Publisher: Delacorte Release Date: November 13, 2012 Summary: ( Goodreads ) Meant to be or not meant to be . . . that is the question. It's one thing to fall head over heels into a puddle of hazelnut coffee, and quite another to fall for the—gasp—wrong guy. Straight-A junior Julia may be accident prone, but she's queen of following rules and being prepared. That's why she keeps a pencil sharpener in her purse and a pocket Shakespeare in her, well, pocket. And that's also why she's chosen Mark Bixford, her childhood crush, as her MTB ("meant to be"). But this spring break, Julia's rules are about to get defenestrated (SAT word: to be thrown from a window) when she's partnered with her personal nemesis, class-clown Jason, on a school trip to London. After one wild party, Julia starts receiving romantic texts . . . from an unknown number! Jason promises to help discover the ide...

  Title: Greta and the Goblin King Author: Chloe Jacobs Publisher: Entangled Publishing Release Date: November 13, 2012 Pre-Order : Barnes & Noble About Chloe Jacobs: ( Goodreads ) Chloe Jacobs is a native of nowhere and everywhere, having jumped around to practically every Province of Canada before finally settling in Ontario where she has now been living for a respectable number of years. Her husband and son are the two best people in the entire world, but they also make her wish she'd at least gotten a female cat. No such luck. And although the day job keeps her busy, she carves out as much time as possible to write. Bringing new characters to life and finding out what makes them tick and how badly she can make them suffer is one of her greatest pleasures, almost better than chocolate and fuzzy pink bunny slippers. Blurb: While trying to save her brother four years ago, Greta was thrown into the witch’s fire herself, falling through a portal to a dangerous world where...

As part of the tour here is an excerpt! “You’re upset over this afternoon.” He pushed aside several potential choices for tomorrow as he leaned back. “Were you jealous, Alex?” My jaw almost hit the floor. It took me a moment to respond. “I’m confused to why you think I’d be jealous.” Seth gave me a knowing look. “Perhaps you’re jealous of Elena?” “What?” I picked up a cute sweater I’d bought before we’d gone into lockdown. “Me, jealous of Elena and her Tinkerbell hair—don’t think so.” He stretched over and tugged the sweater out of my hand. “Oh. Catty, aren’t you?” (page 74) What do you think!! I really liked this excerpt! Be Sure to also...
