Update

Hey you guys!

I just want to thank you all for following me! I've reached 105 followers. =D I think since I have reached that, everyone in my Ash contest who was a follower from 105 or before will get like 3 extra entries! Woot!

Alright. A little update. I have officially moved back to college! Which is a good and bad thing, for various reasons. Anyway. Due to this, as well as having to get ready for classes. I probably won't have a new post up until Sunday, maybe Monday. I sadly don't have any posts lined up and won't have time to type any reviews until probably tomorrow.

Just wanted to let you guys know and show I hadn't disappeared. =)

Contest - Win Ash by Malinda Lo

Alright guys. I’ve reached over 75 followers and decided to hold another contest! Woot, right?

This time the contest is going to be to win Ash by Malinda Lo

In the wake of her father’s death, Ash is left at the mercy of her cruel stepmother. Consumed with grief, her only joy comes by the light of the dying hearth fire, re-reading the fairy tales her mother once told her. In her dreams, someday the fairies will steal her away, as they are said to do. When she meets the dark and dangerous fairy Sidhean, she believes that her wish may be granted.

The day that Ash meets Kaisa, the King’s Huntress, her heart begins to change. Instead of chasing fairies, Ash learns to hunt with Kaisa. Though their friendship is as delicate as a new bloom, it reawakens Ash’s capacity for love—and her desire to live. But Sidhean has already claimed Ash for his own, and she must make a choice between fairy tale dreams and true love.

Entrancing and romantic, Ash is an empowering retelling of Cinderella about choosing life and love over solitude and death, where transformation can come from even the deepest grief.

Contest - Win Prophecy of the Sisters!

Alright everyone, since I have reached (and passed) 25 followers, I'm going to hold my first contest! And since I have recently won the Swag Bag contest over at Michelle Zink's site for having found the book in stores, I thought it would make a good giveaway!


Prophecy of the Sisters by Michelle Zink
(Released officially August 1st, but being found daily in bookstores!)

Sixteen-year-old Lia Milthorpe and her twin sister Alice have just become orphans, and, as Lia discovers, they have also become enemies. The twins are part of an ancient prophecy that has turned generations of sisters against each other. To escape from a dark fate and to remain in the arms of her beloved boyfriend James, Lia must end the prophecy before her sister does. Only then will she understand the mysterious circumstances of her parents' deaths, the true meaning of the strange mark branded on her wrist, and the lengths to which her sister will go to defeat her. Debut novelist Michelle Zink takes readers on an unforgettable journey where one sister's fateful decision could have an impact of Biblical proportions. Prophecy of the Sisters is the first of three books.
