Hallo 2013! [NHBones slip]

Well another year ending... Though I'm pretty sure the word that was out was that the 'world' was ending not the year... Anyway... My beautiful bookpicERS!!!! How are you saying goodbye to the amazing 2012?? Can you imagine all the awesome books that came out this year?? I don't think my mind can comprehend how lucky everyone that got this years book releases!!! You lucky lucky people!! I hate you-not really-from the bottom of my bookish-freak heart. I think some reads were really really traumatic for me, as in, I won't ever ever get over them, I am marked for life, I was tortured beyond repair, I was ruined for all men, I fell in love, I got tossed against wall after wall... and even then... I went back for more... If that is not book-masochism I seriously don't know what is. I want to thank all the authors who are brave enough to put their work out there for everyone to see, I want to thank all my bookish friends for being there for me to gush about

My Apology of Apologies. AGAIN.

-Non edited post because I know I might ramble much more if I proofread it OR I might notice how many things more I missed to say or something.- I want to officially apologize to every blogger that was hosting a book blog tour or any other book event in which I was participating these last 2-4 weeks. I tried to send emails to every single one of you but it appears I still didn't make it. I know I might sound like I'm only excuses but it's all I have to give you. We were moving, as you already knew. But then we didn't have internet in the new house until later and then my laptop's screen decided to stop working... I'm so very very sorry if I failed to do something I had promised to do on the blog, I really really am. Books and BookPics are very dear to my heart and when I compromise to do something I try to move heaven and hell to accomplish that promise so I feel like I let everyone down with these things :( I wasn't planning on my laptop failin

It isn't a surprise to me that the cover was designed by  Phatpuppy Art !! I have to say I'm in love with the background more than the front image AND the cat. ;) I mean, there is NO way you can't know it's midnight in that image!! I also love how we can't see the girl's expression, giving us no insight as to what her feelings might be. Anyway, let's read more about the book and the authors ;) The Midnight Spell, publication, February, 2013 ~ Goodreads ~ " Best friends since kindergarten, Adam and Christy have always been the perpetual outsiders in their small town in Texas.

Goodreads Shortie: Chase Williams is a demon hunter in the Circle, or at least he was supposed to be. On his fifteenth birthday, Chase stepped up to the altar to claim his elemental power, but it never came. Elemental magic is passed down to a hunter through the bloodline, but on Chase's birthday, the bloodline stopped. Exiled without the Circle's protection, Chase has spent two years trying to survive a world riddled with half-demons and magic. When he has a run in with a frightened and seemingly innocent demon, he learns the Circle's agenda has changed... ****** The characters-scenery: Well, I have to say... Rayna... That name completely made it for me... It was awesome, unique-at least for me-and well I thought it suited the female main character PERFECTLY! Chase's story was so well written. I literally could imagine every single thing that author Merrick described. I instantly clicked with 3 characters. First it was Chase... being exiled from

Stacking The Shelves  is hosted by  Tynga's Reviews . Where you can post all the books that you're adding to your shelves each week. Inspired by TST IMMs' posts. ***** Seriously you guys! I should be sued for not posting much the past week :'( I'm sorry... But well... Here I am showcasing the one book I purchased, I think... Like a week or so ago...  You know I don't post much the eBooks I weekly get on my kindle because, seriously. I read printed books the most... Anyway. I got this one book or shall I say... Novella...

-Cover Reveal- Pieces by Michelle Davidson Argyle

Hello my beautiful people! What other better way to start the week than revealing a cover for a book I'm dying to read!!! T_________T I'm still pinning for the first one, there's just something about the description that has me hanging on its every word... Seriously I don't know why I don't own it... Will have to fix that as soon as I can! Anyway... Take a look at the synopsis of the book: *** Two years after watching her kidnappers go to prison, Naomi Jensen is still in love with one of them. Jesse will be released in a few years, and Naomi knows college is the perfect distraction while she waits. But when her new friend Finn makes her question what is right and what is wrong, she begins to wonder if Jesse is the one for her … until she discovers he's out on parole. Naomi must sort through her confusion to figure out where love and freedom truly lie—in Finn, who has no connections to her past, or Jesse, who has just asked her to run away with him. P

That I think publishers gather their heads together in order to melt my heart and mind... Have you been near the internet lately? Have you seen just how many covers have been released? How many redone? And the UK/US/AUS and sometimes some other internationals, covers that come out as well
