Cover and Title Reveal of Tammara Webber’s Between the Lines 4

Tammara Webber has finally revealed the cover and title to her new Between the Lines book due out beginning of August! I’m waiting in breathless anticipation for this book mainly because we will get to see more of Hollywood bad boy Reid but also cause it is the last book in the series, what is surely to be the closing chapter to end all closing chapters of some amazing characters and storylines. They are going to be missed!

Without further ado here it is:

What do you think??? When Ellen first saw it, her response was (and shield your eyes if you don’t like obscenities), “HOLY SHITSNACKS!” Me? I gasped. That simple.

Take a look at her website for more info about the upcoming release, Tammara Webber herself, and news about the book after this one (LUCAS from EASY!!!): www.tammarawebber.com

Giveaway: it’s Book Expo 2013, baby!

This giveaway might be kind of lame, and if it is, I am sorry but…let me preface this whole thing with this: last year Ellen and I had a blast at Book Expo 2012. If you haven’t heard of Book Expo, it’s basically this huge publishing/book professional event at the Javitz Center in NYC where authors, readers, bloggers, reviewers, publishers, etc all get together to love on books. We got a TON of ARCs, met a TON of amazing people, and generally enjoyed meeting a whole convention center full of kindred spirits. In a word, amazing. I can’t begin to describe how wide-eyed and overwhelmed I was by the number of free books all around me. Books everywhere! All for me! And you! Plus writers at every turn: Jillian Dodd! JL Armentrout! Ack! I may have fan girled more than once.

This year, we’re headed back on May 31st (and btw, welcome anyone who’ll be there to meet up with us! We’re lots of fun, honest, especially when we head out for drinks afterward.) One thing we do need to do though is clean out the bookshelves to make room for even more books. So I’m having a giveaway! 6 paperback ARCs from BEA 2012 are up for grabs and while they may be autographed in my name (hey-funny!), who cares! Free books! Free GREAT books! Enter now!

Here’s what’s up for grabs:

Insignia by SJ Kincaid

Entice by Jessica Shirvington

Elemental by Emily White

Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas

Sanctum by Sarah Fine

The Iron Witch by Karen Mahoney

If you win, you get all the books! A box full!

Who can win: anyone in the continental (48 contiguous) United States

Score: 7/10

Plot: It’s hard keeping secrets while growing up on a small island. But popular and charismatic Jake Hayes has a doozy: he’s been in love with his friend, Samantha Shay, for years. The night of Homecoming, he parties a little too hard and thanks to too much beer, decides to finally tell Sam how he feels. But disaster strikes and he winds up in the hospital after a horrific accident. Now Jake is mute thanks to a T-bar that embedded in his throat and he has to struggle to work his way back to some semblance of normal life. He’s juggling sign language classes, his family’s constant worry that something is wrong, an overzealous female classmate, and a growing relationship with Samantha. When the problems with her home life come to the surface, Jake realizes that his own problems aren’t the only ones out there and his relationship with her is tested to its limit. Will their relationship be able to handle his lack of voice and her tough home life?  And more importantly, if their relationship does make it, will Sam ever get to hear Jake say how much he truly loves her?

You know what paranormal entity we have not yet read about, folks? Yes! You are so right! Genies. Let’s all take a deep breath and admit the three basic truths about Genies that we know already: 1. They’re awesome. 2. They grant you three wishes but something stupid always happens where they take what you wish for way too literally or for example when you say to your little sister, “God, I wish you’d be quiet and let me think!” they use that as one of the three 3. There are not nearly enough (read: none at all) books written about the coolness that is Genies. Here’s one that was cute and well written. And we don’t ask for a whole lot more than that around here.

You know how you sometimes get your hands on a book and for whatever reason you never read it and you ask your friend (whose name is Ellen BTW) if she’s ever read said book and she tells you that she too has the book just waiting to be read but has never gotten around to it. Well, if that were to happen to you and the book in question were called Finnikin of the Rock by Melina Marchetta you would be missing out on a whole gorgeous world of amazing that you could have read about earlier only you didn’t have me to tell you how amazing it truly is.

But now you do: read Finnikin of the Rock!!! LIKE NOW!!!

Plot:  Homecoming! Private planes! Trips to NYC! Stalkers! As with Kiss Me, this book picks up right where the last one ended and continues Keatyn’s experiences at her posh boarding school. There’s still a lot of shopping/fashion talk, romance, and great parties with her friends, but there are also new problems with creepy stalker Vincent, revelations about one of her bffs, discovering more about one character that really sheds light on that person’s actions, and some heartbreak. Oh, and of course tons of hot guys! Read the full post »

Birthday Giveaway #5: Priscilla Glenn

Birthday Giveaway #5: Priscilla Glenn

Priscilla, Priscilla: you had me from the moment we met Michael from Back to You! I swear, I’ve never reviewed a romance novel on the blog because, let’s face it, this blog is geared more toward the Y than the A. But I made a BIG EXCEPTION for Back to You because it was so wrought with emotion and so very beautiful that I wanted to share it with all of you; plus, it had some heavy YA crossover bits I could use if anyone questioned it being on the site (bases covered! YES!). I gotta tell you guys, if you haven’t read her yet, Priscilla is phenomenal. She wrote her first book just to prove to herself that she could and thank god she did cause it’s one of the most poignant stories of love lost and found that I’ve ever read. She has a new book coming out soon called Emancipating Andie that we’re all dying to get our hot little hands on and well, guess what she’s going to be giving you for my birthday???
