Hi guys. A quick post, just wanted to thank everyone that was here for ArmchairBEA, unfortunately I won't be able to end the week of posting, I'll have to take a mini break this weekend. But, worry not. I'll be back either Sunday or Monday :D Hope to see you all here :) -hugs- Keep reading.

Well, there's a giveaway happening on the blog right now so you can go there by clicking the link below, BookPics 2nd Blogoversary Giveaway! International And about the genre pick for today, as I said on a comment on another blogger's post before. I'm not good when speaking and writing about genres... So I definitely will just stick to the giveaway part hehehe though I'm loving what everyone has had to say about today's Literary Fiction :D If you're participating in Day #3 of the armchair don't hesitate and leave a link to your post :D I'd love to drop by. Such a short post :(

Welcome to my stop on the Skin Deep blog tour! I'll be sharing a short excerpt and a quick review of the book ;) Description: *** Panther Shape-shifter Kailin Odel just wants to be normal. Leaving her clan, and her Alpha  responsibilities, to live with her grandmother in Chicago had been the best thing for her.  Only then did she discover her ability to track and kill the soul sucking undead creatures  called Wraiths. Now she protected the humans, and had something to be proud of. But, when she discovers the body of a murdered shape shifter, Kailin has to come to terms  with the reality that her own kind are just as vulnerable as the humans.  The closer Kailin gets to the killer the more she has to face the intricacies of her people.  When the time comes can she accept who and what her real purpose is?  *** *** *** Quick excerpt,

Oh clouds... I'm the worst person to come to when wanting advice for blogging. I'm a simple person, I know nothing about html or anything related to it nor do I know how to design or go "pro" means. And after 2 years I still remain the same clueless way. I do know that I'd like to try a lot of things in the blog but I either don't know how to or am not sure if I want to take that or this step. I believe I have somewhat changed from the person who started blogging 2 years ago, who was extremely shy and couldn't interact much on the network. Silly thing is, that's what I love most about the community. The interaction, the getting to know other people who enjoy what I enjoy equally. But other than that I really think my blog hasn't changed THAT much.

Oh boy... Not again... I've gone and done it again :( I was supposed to be getting ready for ArmchairBEA and also write my Stacking The Shelves post as well as write a couple of reviews... But as you can see, none of that has truly happened for me. The reason? I decided to try and paint all the bedrooms in our new house... After 6 months of living here I've got to say... I love it but hate the fact that the whole house is the same color... Even the outside walls... Add to that the fact that none, I mean, no one is sleeping in their respective rooms and you've got me all worked up because I really REALLY want my own room, like yesterday... Or a decade or so ago... So I talked to my dad and BOOM! Out of nowhere we went and bought some paint last Wednesday. Suffice it to say, I haven't seen the outside world since Wednesday afternoon, the world might have stopped moving for all I know and I wouldn't have noticed it. I'm still missing a couple of thing...

But I'm happy to say we're still joking as if she were my best friend some nights lol And I'm proud proud to say that after a very hard "work" I've managed to make her start reading again!! ANYWAY. I just wanted to say a happy MOTHER'S DAY to all the Mamás out there!! Thanks for supporting us, thanks for standing up for us when we were too little to do so, thanks for all the colds you had to endure bec...

Goodreads Shortie: Allison Sekemoto has vowed to rescue her creator, Kanin, who is being held hostage and tortured by the psychotic vampire Sarren. The call of blood leads her back to the beginning—New Covington and the Fringe, and a vampire prince who wants her dead yet may become her wary ally. ***** My Thoughts¿? I think this book is the only book published this year that has completely blown my mind. As in, Idon'tknowwhattodowithmylifenowthatI'vefinished kind of blown... I can't even form into words what this book made me feel, do, tear up about, scream for... Seriously. I've tried for a month or so, to sit down and simply go ahead and write my review. And even now, there still aren't enough words. I said so to the author on twitter, I was left an awful mess on the floor. And I really am hoping for a third book because, after how things ended in this one... There is absolutely NO possibility of me living a normal life if I don't know what happens ne...

Hello lovelies! Today there are a lot of releases that I'm sure I want to own and have already made a space in my soon-to-be shelf for said books. This post is to spotlight one of them :D This book is for MATURE audiences ONLY Seventeen-year-old Kari meets Neil Mars. “Neil as in Armstrong and Mars…as in Bruno.” A boy who beats every vampire, werewolf, highlander fantasy Kari has ever had. But she knows she can’t get close to him. Not ever. Because that would mean telling him everything. Coming clean. And Kari can’t bear the idea of changing the way Neil looks at her. Like she’s the only girl in the world. His reverence is something too precious to lose. Perhaps even at the cost of losing him.  But Kari doesn't know why Neil calls her his ‘Angel’ and when she finds out, she realizes what love is all about. Boundless joy, unending longing and a fuckload of heartache.  Mature Content Warning. For 17+. ****** Find the book ;) Goodreads - Amazon **...
