Lindsay Ribar - The Art Of Wishing

Hey!

I've been gone for God knows how long, but life has been tough.. I'm not gonna lie. But now that Summer's here I'm hoping I can go back to the way things used to be. I'm not saying I'm going to start writing a post per day but I'm sure as hell will try to at least publish 2-3 post per week, I think that's enough improvement for starting.

So, as a welcome-back post I decided to do a book review. I sure missed those. Get ready because even though I have a few dozens of books to review here from last year I'm doing The Art Of Wishing by Lindsay Ribar which I read last month.

He can grant her wishes, but only she can save his life.

Margo McKenna has a plan for just about anything, from landing the lead in her high school play to getting into a good college. So when she finds herself in possission of a genie's ring and the chance to make three wishes, she doens't know what to do. Why should she put her life into someone else's hands?

But Oliver is more than just a genie - he's also a sophomore at Margo's high school, and he's on the run from a murderer. As he and Margo grow closer, she discovers that it will take more than three wishes to save him.

A whole lot more.


I realized I had never read anything about genies so that's when I put some serious effort on my search for this subject I discovered this book and then I noticed how cool the cover was and well there was nothing that could be done about it. This would be the first book I was going to read about genies.

Moleskine

Hi!

I can't express with words or any other way how much I like Moleskines.
Since I learnt how to write I've became obsessed with writing. I love to write. If I'm watching a film or a tv show on my laptop I'm doodling or writing my favourite quotes from what I'm seeing at that moment, this can be odd but true. I have to have a notebook nearby my computer because I'm always in need to write something. Now add my love for reading and you can easily understand my love for Moleskines.

If you know what a Moleskine is I don't need to tell you about what makes these notebooks so cool, special and unique, but if you don't know, I'm not going to be the one to spoil it, so get dressed now and go buy one then read the bonus content. I assure you it'll be worth it.
Yes, of course you can read it online and stay on your pyjamas but would that be fun? (I know you answered yes)

My first Moleskine was given me by my dad and was the one that has little squares for drawing little stories like comics. I'm terrible at drawing (unfortunately) but I tried to, even though it ended on some weird things let me tell you it was fun.
The only bad thing about these little books is the price. They're a little expensive. I know they have impecable quality and one of these will last all my life but still sometimes it pains me to give that money for a notebook. Thus, imagine my face when I discovered they made an app.

If you click on the icon you'll go to iTunes and if you like you can download it. It's free so you have nothing to lose.

So basically on this app you can create as many notebooks as you'd like in any form like plain, ruled, squared, weekly planner, storybook and passion recipe. You pick one, then decide what you want it to be called and what colour you want it to be. Delete is super easy in case you don't want it anymore.

I already have it on my iPad and I'm enjoying it. I don't have to run to a shop when it ends. Even though I'm not going to stop buying them. They are too meaningful for that.

Shea Berkley - The Marked Son

Heya!

I want to be a better blogger and write more frequently just like I used to. I really do, so let's just hope I have enough subjects to publish about.
I'm starting with a new book-post. This time is The Marked Son written by Shea Berkley.

"Seventeen-year-old Dylan Kennedy always knew something was different about him, but until his mother abandoned him in the middle of Oregon with grandparents he's never met, he had no idea what. When Dylan sees a girl in white in the woods behind his grandparents' farm, he knows he's seen her before...in his dreams. He's felt her fear. Heard her insistence that only he can saver her world from an evil lord who uses magic and fear to feed his greed for power. Unable he's completely insane or he's about to have the adventure of his life, because where they're going is full of creatures he's only read about in horror stories. Worse, the human blood in his veins has Dylan marked for death..."


I read this last Summer, in August. So if I'm missing something important know that I'm sorry.

Jus Accardo - Touch

Hello!

After nine posts, here I am doing a book review. I missed doing this. Here we go.

During the first week of last August I read Touch by Jus Accardo which is the first book on the Denazen series.

"When a strange boy tumbles down a river embankment and lands at her feet, seventeen-year-old adrenaline junkie Deznee Cross snatches the opportunity to piss off her father by bringing the mysterious hottie with ice blue eyes home.

Except there's something off with Kale. He wears her shoes in the shower, is overly fascinated with things like DVDs and vases, and acts like she'll turn to dust if he touches her. It's not until Dez's father shows up, wielding a gun and knowing more about Kale than he should, that Dez realizes there's more to this boy - and her father's "law firm" - than she realized.

Kale has been a prisoner of Denazen Corporation - an organization devoted to collecting "special" kids known as Sixes and using them as weapons - his entire life. And, oh yeah, his touch? It kills. The two team up with a group of rogue Sixes hellbent on taking down Denazen before they're caught and her father discovers the biggest secret of all. A secret Dez has spent her life keeping safe.

A secret Kale will kill to protect."


I don't know if I still remember everything clearly enough to write a decent post but I'll do my best.

Jennifer L. Armentrout - Opal

Heya!

Even though I usually write 8 posts between book-reviews this time I decided to break that rule, because the third book on the Luxen series - Opal - written by Jennifer L. Armentrout is so, so painful to think about that I honestly don't know how I'm going to survive until July.

"No one is like Daemon Black.

When he set out to prove his feelings for me, he wasn't fooling around. Doubting him isn't something I'll do again, and now that we've made it through the rough patches, well... There's a lof of spontaneous combustion going on.

But even he can't protect his family from the danger of trying to free those they love.

After everything, I'm no longer the same Katy. I'm different... And I'm not sure what that will mean in the end. When each step we take in discovering the truth puts us in the path of the secret organization responsible for torturing and testing hybrids, the more I realize there is no end to what I'm capable of. The death of someone close still lingers, help comes from the most unlikely source, and friends will become the deadliest of enemies, but we won't turn back. Even if the outcome will shatter our worlds forever."


As you can still see by my list on the right this book was supposed to be released today but I don't know why it was just available soon and I'm not complaining at all.

Jennifer L. Armentrout - Onyx

Hello!

Here I am again to write about the third book if you count Shadows on the Luxen series written by Jennifer L. Armentrout.

"Being connected to Daemon sucks...
Thanks to his alien mojo, Daemon's determined to prove what he feels for me is more than a product of our bizarro connection. So I've sworn him off, even though he's running more hot than cold these days. But we've got bigger problems.

Something worse than the Arum has come to town...

The Department of Defense are here. If they ever find out what Daemon can do an that we're linked, I'm a goners. So is he. And there's this new boy in school who's got a secret of his own. He knows what's happened to me he can help, but to do so, I have to lie to Daemon and stay away from him. Like that's possible. Against all common sense, I'm falling for Daemon. Hard.

But then everything changes...

I've seen someone who shouldn't be alive. And I have to tell Daemon, even though I know he's never going to stop searching until he gets the truth. What happened to his brother? Who betrayed him? And what does the DOD want from them-from me?

No one is who they seem. And not everyone will survive the lies..."


I already wrote about Shadows and Obsidian making this the third book I've read on the Luxen series.

Jennifer L. Armentrout - Obsidian

Hi!

After sometime without touching blogger, I'm back. Writing about the first book on the Lux series - Obsidian - written by Jennifer L. Armentrout.

"When we moved to West Virginia right before my senior year, I'd pretty much resigned myself to thick accents, dodgy internet access, and a whole lot of boring... until I spotted my hot neighbor, with his looming height and eerie green eyes. Things were looking up.

And then he opened hos mouth.

Daemon is infuriating. Arrogant. Stab-worthy. We do not get along. At all. But when a stranger attacks me and Daemon literally freezes time with a wave of his hand, well, something...unexpecting happens.

The hot alien living next door marks me.

You heard me. Alien. Turns out Damon and his sister have a galaxy of enemies wanting to steal their abilities, and Daemon's touch has me lit up like the Vegas Strip. The only way I'm getting out of this alive is by sticking close to Daemon until my alien mojo fades.

If I don't kill him first, that is."


A few weeks ago, I wrote my opinion on the prequel. The book is called Shadows and is kind of an supplement to Obsidian. Shadows is the 0.5 in the series and is about the story of Daemon's brother Dawson and his girlfriend Bethany which if you've read Obsidian know it's an important subject on its storyline.

Jennifer L. Armentrout - Shadows

Hey!

Even though I'm taking a break from reading I still have 8 books to review or talk about here.
Here's one: Shadows written by Jennifer L. Armentrout.

"The last thing Dawson Black expected was Bethany Williams. As a Luxen, an alien life form on Earth, human girls are... well, fun. But since the Luxen have to keep their true identities a secret, falling for one would be insane.

Dangerous. Tempting. Undeniable.

Bethany can't deny the immediate connection between her and Dawson. And even though boys aren't a complication she wants, she can't stay away from him. Still, whenever they lock eyes, she's drawn in.

Captivated. Lured. Loved.

Dawson is keeping a secret that will change her existance... and put her life in jeopardy. But even he can't stop risking everything for one human girl. Or from a fate that is as unavoidable as love itself."


When I saw this book I thought it was the first book and not the 0.5. I read the summary and thought it would be cool to read another book with aliens beside the I Am Number 4 series.
Well, imagine my face when I read the summary for the real book 1 and find a new main character and the story is a year later.

Wendy Heggins - Sweet Evil

Hi!

I have 9 books I've read during these last months that I haven't written about here and have 8 books waiting to be devoured by me.
Today I'm going to write about Sweet Evil by Wndy Heggins.

"Embrace the forbidden.

What if there were teens whose lives literally depended on being bad influences?

This is the reality for sons and daughters of fallen angels.

Tenderhearted Southern girl Anna Whitt was born with the sixth sense to see and feel emotions of other people. She's aware of the struggle within herself, an inexplicable pull toward danger, but Anna, the ultimate good girls, has always had the advantage of her angel side to balance the darkness within. It isn't until she turns sixteen and meets the alluring Kaidan Rowe that she discovers her terrifying heritage and her willpower is put to the test. He's the boy your daddy warned you about. If only someone had warned Anna.

Forced to face her destiny, will Anna embrace her halo or her horns?"


I read this book last month, around 21st, during my I don't want to call it obsession because it wasn't but every book that caught my eyes was about demons.
And after reading Falling Under and Dreaming Awake I wasn't expecting being surprised by anything that could happen in this.

Susan Ee - Angelfall

Heya!

If I said a few weeks ago that I had a pretty amount of books to write about, well, now I have even more.

I read Angelfall written by Susan Ee during the first week of July, I think.

"It's been six weeks since of the apocalypse descended to demolish the modern world. Street gangs rule the day while fear and superstition rule the night. When warrior angels fly away with helpless little girl, her seventeen-year-old sister Penryn will do anything to ger her back.                                     

Anything, including making a deal with an enemy angel.                              

Raffe is a warrior who lies broken and wingless on the street. After eons of fighting his own battles, he finds himself being rescued from a desperate situation by a half-starved teenage girl.

Traveling through a dark twisted northern California, they hae only each other to rely on for survival. Together, they journey toward the angels' stronghold in San Francisco whre she'll risk everything to rescue her sister and he'll put himself at the mercy of his greatest enemies for the chance to be made whole again."

This is the first book in the Penryn & The End Of Days series.
And I realized I do, really, like to read about angels. Those seem to be the most frequent type of books that catch my eye...

Anne Greenwood Brown - Lies Beneath

Heya!

I'm late on my book reviews. According to my iPad I still have 5 books to write about here but today is Anne Greenwood Brown's Lies Beneath turn.

"Calder White in the cold, clear waters of Lake Superior, the only brother in a family of merpeople obsessed with killing Jason Hancock, the man they blame for their mother's death. To lure the aquaphobic Hancock onto the lake, the mermaids charge Calder with the task of seducing the man's daughter, seventeen-year-old Lily Hancock. "Get close to the daughter," they tell him, "and you'll get close to the family. Get close to the family, and you'll get close to the man. Get him in the water. We'll take care of the rest."

But Calder screws everything up by falling in love. Now he's in the unenviable position of trying to love the girl while simultaneously plotting her father's murder. Suffice it to say, his sisters aren't pleased with his effort, and Calder's running out of time (and excuses)."

This is the second book I've read about mermaids.Being the first Of Poseidon written by Anna Banks. Between the two is complicated for me to say which is the best because they're different.

Hilary Duff - True

Hi!

Hilary Duff showed on her Twitter the cover for her third book: True.

I read the two previous books in the trilogy. Elixir and Devoted. And as I said on those posts I really enjoyed reading this series so far, at least. But I don't see my opinion change with the final book, though. I like this cover, I think is my favourite of all 3.

I already added the release date to my list on the right, which is April 16.
Next year... Why?

Lauren Oliver - Pandemomiun

Hello!

I said I would write a post on this book. Here I am. Last month I read Pandemonium written by Lauren Oliver.

"I'm pushing aside the memory of my nightmare,

pushing aside thoughts of Alex,

pushing aside thoughts of Hana and my old school,

push,

push,

push,

like Raven taught me to do.

The old life is dead.

But the old Lena is dead too.

I buried her.

I left her beyond a fence,

behind a wall of smoke and flame."

Pandemonium is the sequel to Delirium as you may know.
I had a strange relation towards this book. Love-hate kind of relation.

Clockwork Princess Cover

Hi!

I'm super late on writing about the cover if I'm talking in blogger-time but it's always better late than never.

People on tumblr were saying its the best cover yet. I like it but I don't know if it's the best... Either way I only have a viable opinion when I finish the book because I link the storyline to every detail on its cover.

Cassandra Clare showed us the last cover on the Infernal Devices series this week and that's awful. Terrible. The book comes out next March. That's almost a year... And the end of Clockwork Prince was so frustrating... I don't know about you but I'm team Jem, as I said before. I think this time the "other guy" should get the girl. He deserves her. I know Will loves her and all that but so does Jem.
I think I just have to wait these eight months and find out which one she choses.

Lauren Oliver - Delirium

Hi!
Last week I read Delirium written by Lauren Oliver.

"They didn't understand that once love - the deliria - blooms in your blood, the is no escaping its hold. Things are different now. Scientists are able to eradicate love, and the government demands all citizens receive the cure upon turning 18.

Lena Holoway has always looked forward to th day when she'll be cured.

A life without love is a life without pain: safe, mesured, predictable, and happy.

But with ninety-five days left until her treatment, Lena does the unthinkable: she falls in love."

This is the first book in the trilogy and being the beginner I think is a great novel.
Mainly because it gets you caught up it in without you noticing and when you do you're done with the the whole book.

Anna Banks - Of Poseidon

Heya!

After reading so much about Of Poseidon written by Anna Banks I decided to give it a try.

"Galen is the prince of the Syrena, sent to land to find a girl he's heard can communicate with fish. Emma is on vacation at the beach. When she runs into Galen - literally, ouch! - both teens sense a connection. But it will take several encounters, including a deadly one with a shark, for Galen to be convinced of Emma's gifts. Now, if he can only convince Emma that she holds the key to his kingdom..."

This being the first book I've ever read about mermaids, I can say it was pretty interesting.

Jennifer Bosworth - Struck

Hey!

I decided to read Struck written by Jennifer Bosworth because so many people were saying it was pretty good and I wouldn't waste my time. And that is an expression I love to hear.

"Mia Price is a lightning addict. She's survived strikes, but her craving to connect to the energy in storms endangers her life and the lives of those around her.

Los Angeles, where lightning rarely strikes, is one of the few places Mia feels safe from her addiction. But when an earthwake devastes the city, her haven is transformed into a minefield of chaos and danger. The beaches become massive tent cities. Downtown is a crumbling wasteland, where a traveling party moves to a different empty building each night, the revelers drawn to the destruction by a force they cannot deny- Two warring cults rise to power, and both see Mia as the key to their opposing doomsday prophecies. They believe she has a connection to the freak electrical storm that caused the quake, and to the far devastating storm that is yet to come.

Mia wants to trust the enigmatic and aluring Jeremy when he promises to protect her, but she fears he isn't who he claims to be. In the end, the passion and power that brought them together could be their downfall. When the final disaster strikes, Mia must risk unleashing the full horror of her strenght to safe the people she loves or lose everything."

A girl who can sort of control lightnings? Hell yes I was going to read this book.
But it isn't exactly that way the book follows...

GoodReads

Hi!

I was thinking about how many post I have which are related to books. Such as such with book trailers or where I write my opinion about the last book I read at that moment.
They're quite a few. Probably more than what I think.
Thus I decided to create an account on Goodreads.

 If you don't know what Goodreads is, I'll tell you. It's a website where you sign in freely with your name, email and password, after that you select which types of books you like to read and finally, check 19 books you already read or are planning to.
If I remember clearly these are the first 3 steps.
After all that you start reviewing and enter in groups which are more appeling to you.
Basically you share your opinion and receive others that can help you decide what book to read next.

And also, it's available an app that makes everything easier to access anytime anywhere.

So far I'm really happy about my inscrition.

Catherine Fisher - Incarceron

Heya!

I finished Incarceron written by Catherine Fisher.

"Imagine a living prison so vast that it contains corridors and forests, cities and seas.

Imagine a prisoner with no memory, who is sure he came from Outside, even though the prison has been sealed for centuries and only one man, half real, half legend, had ever escaped.

Imagine a girl in a manor house in a society where time has been forbidden, where everyone is held in a seventeenth century world run by computers, doomed to an arranged marriage that appals her, tangled in an assassination plot she both dreads and desires.

One inside, one outside.

But both imprisoned.

Imagine a war that has hollowed the moon, seven skullrings that contain souls, a flying ship and a wall at the world's end.

Imagine the unimaginable.

Imagine Incarceron."

How does that sound to you?

Promising, right?

Leigh Bardugo - Shadow And Bone

Hello!

Even though I don't like it, today it's another book post. And I'm sorry in advance if it bothers you.

Thus, the book I've read this time is Shadow And Bone, the first book in the Grisha trilogy written by Leigh Bardugo.

"Surrounded by enemies, the once-great nation of Ravka has been torn in two by the Shadow Fold, a swath of near-impenetrable darkness crawling with monsters who feast on human flesh. Now its fate may rest on the shoulders of one unlikely refugee. Alina Starkov has never been good at anything. But when her regiment is attacked on the Fold and her best friend is brutally injured, Alina reveals a dormant power that saves his life - a power that could be the key to setting her war-ravaged country free. Wrenched from everything she knows, Alina is whisked away to the royal court to be trained as a member of the Grisha, the magical elite led by the mysterious Darkling. Yet nothing in this lavish world is what it seems. With darkness looming and an entire kingdom depending on her untamed power, Alina will have to confront the secrets of the Grisha... and the secrets of her heart."

That's a long summary, which explains basically everything. When I found this book this wasn't the one I read, I wish it had been.
