Feature & Follow #3: Stepping in a Character Shoes + Which Scene

The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of Parajunkee’s View and Alison of Alison Can Read. Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it’ll allow us to show off more new blogs!




This Week's Question:
If you can step into one characters shoes (in a book) and be them for a day who would it be and why? Also if you want to be creative, what scene?
Suggested by Seeing Night Book Reviews

There are a lot of characters that I want to be on their own shoes, but I will choose the first character that comes in my mind...

I think I would like to be Juliette Ferrars from Shatter Me. Oh yes, her life was not perfect, far from it in fact. But I love how she grows throughout the story. She's so strong, literally she can cause Earth quake. Not to mention there were 2 hot guys fighting for your love, this is one of the few books that has ridiculous love triangle that I actually liked love and enjoy. So yeah, I didn't care about the scary world they're in, as long as I get to be with Warner, yeah, that's how hopeless In Love I am with Warner.. :)

If I want to be creative what scene?

Uhm, The scene in the boardroom table. If you know what I mean. **Bluses Furiously** Oh my, I miss Aaron Warner so much..
How about you?

Waiting on Wednesday #5: The Fate of Ten (Lorien Legacies #6)

It's Wednesday! And it is the day we think of the long list of book we wanted to read...Badly.

This week, my Waiting on Wednesday featured book will be.. "The Fate of Ten"

I honestly haven't been keeping tab in this book. Oh, don't get me wrong, this is actually one of my all time favorite fantasy sci-fi young adult book. The story line was great. All of the characters are admirable, both in books and in the movie. Yes, I didn't like the fact that they actually changed the story line and all in the movie adaptation, but I love the casting.. and I'am in love with Sam. So yeah..

Click here to read more why the excitement has calmed down for me.

Right now I just wanted to read this book just for the sake of finishing this once-upon-a-time my favorite book series. I just hope that I come around...

Expected Publication date: September 1, 2015 The Fate of Ten
by
Pittacus Lore
(Website|Twitter) The sixth book in the thrilling, action-packed, New York Times bestselling I Am Number Four series!

For years the Garde have fought the Mogadorians in secret. Now all of that has changed. The invasion has begun. If the Garde can't find a way to stop the Mogs, humanity will suffer the same fate as the Lorien: annihilation.

There is still hope. When the Elders sent the Garde to Earth, they had a plan—one which the Garde are finally starting to understand. In the climax of The Revenge of Seven, a group of the Garde traveled to an ancient pyramid in Mexico known to their people as the Sanctuary. There they awoke a power that had been hidden within our planet for generations. Now this power can save the world . . . or destroy it.

It will all depend on who wields it.

Book Review: Confess by Colleen Hoover

CONFESS
by
Colleen Hoover
(Website|Twitter)
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover, a new novel about risking everything for love—and finding your heart somewhere between the truth and lies.

Auburn Reed has her entire life mapped out. Her goals are in sight and there’s no room for mistakes. But when she walks into a Dallas art studio in search of a job, she doesn’t expect to find a deep attraction to the enigmatic artist who works there, Owen Gentry.

For once, Auburn takes a risk and puts her heart in control, only to discover Owen is keeping major secrets from coming out. The magnitude of his past threatens to destroy everything important to Auburn, and the only way to get her life back on track is to cut Owen out of it.

The last thing Owen wants is to lose Auburn, but he can’t seem to convince her that truth is sometimes as subjective as art. All he would have to do to save their relationship is confess. But in this case, the confession could be much more destructive than the actual sin…

"It's amazing how much distance one truth can create between two people"

I can personally relate to that..They said that The truth will set you free, it actually does, but you'll have to put everything at risk..

This Week's Question:
How would you pitch to the biz to make your favorite book into a movie?
Suggested by Girl of 1000 Wonders

I love the idea of turning my favorite books into movie or series, and they're too many to mention, I love watching films, movies and series alike, korean dramas and American series, but when I get to see those books actually come to life in big screen, I always get disappointed. I mean, I am not hard to please, I even like The Host, Carrie and The Hunger Games movies after all. I understand that the whole book can't be fit in a 2 hr movie, so I wasn't expecting that, I just wanted to at least get the characters right. The hair and eye colors, the mannerisms, and the expressions. Characters are one of the aspects that can make or break a book for me, so it does for a movie adaptation too .

No matter how many times I get disappointed, I still don't get tired of the idea of turning my favorite books into a movie or series. I mean, just look at The Mortal Instruments, the movie was kind of Okay for me, I love Simon Lewis, but a lot of people was disappointed with it, and then, all of a sudden a series is underway, although I am a little bit disappointed because they didn't retain the old Simon, I am still excited! The new characters are all amazing! Oh my Gosh,! **Drools all over the place**

How about you?

Waiting on Wednesday #4: Confessions of a Queen Bee + e-ARC COPY!!!

My "waiting-for-the-release-date" selection this week is: Confessions of a Queen Bee by Crista Mchugh.

Yes, this book is really out of my comfort zone. I don't really read contemporary romance high school novel because I am more of a sci-fi fantasy kind of girl.

But then I saw the cover in Goodreads, I have to admit, it was really catchy, I mean, just look at that... And then I read the summary, I was a little hesitant due to its genre but the Queen Bitch kind of convince me...

A couple of days later, there was a discussion post on who wants to have a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.. **Do a happy dance** Maybe it was destiny after all.. **Wink

I was meaning to feature this book on the Waiting on Wednesday last week, I don't know if it's against the silent rule of the meme to feature a book that you have an e-ARC copy? But anyway, I decided not to read it yet until I post this feature, and right after I click the "Publish" Button, I'll start reading and devouring every words this book has to offer... **PLEASE BE GOOD**

Expected Publication date: July 28, 2015
Confessions of a Queen Bee
by
Crista Mchugh
(Website|Twitter)
Alexis Wyndham is the other type of Queen B—the Queen Bitch.

After years of being the subject of ridicule, she revels in her ability to make the in-crowd cower via the exposés on her blog, The Eastline Spy. Now that she's carved out her place in the high school hierarchy, she uses her position to help the unpopular kids walking the hallways.

Saving a freshman from bullies? Check.

Swapping insults with the head cheerleader? Check.

Falling for the star quarterback? So not a part of her plan.

But when Brett offers to help her solve the mystery of who’s posting X-rated videos from the girls’ locker room, she’ll have to swallow her pride and learn to see past the high school stereotypes she’s never questioned—until now.
PS. WATCH OUT FOR MY REVIEW OF THIS BOOK. :)

Feature & Follow #1: How many books have you got on your TBR list?

The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of Parajunkee’s View and Alison of Alison Can Read. Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it’ll allow us to show off more new blogs!




This is the first time I'am joining this feature and I hope to meet all of this amazing book blogger around the globe..**WINK

This Week's Question:
How many books have you got on your TBR list?
Suggested by Obsessive Compulsive Reader

I'am not sure exactly how many books I've got on my TBR list. I use Goodreads to keep track of it. While I have a separate pile(Physically) on my own shelf in my room, and that is the only organized place you can find in my room.

My TBR list keeps getting higher and higher every day. Why? Oh it's because when I saw a book, either online or physically(through bookstore), and I can't buy it yet.. I'll add it in TO-read Shelf in Goodreads right away so I won't forget it. I don't read my physical books right away, I think because of my personal sentiments, I prefer to read all of my books in my IPAD first, but I don't see that happening anytime soon, that keeps getting higher and higher as well...

How about you?

Waiting on Wednesday #3: Riders by Veronica Rossi & Cover Reveal

It's Wednesday! And it is the day we think of the long list of book we wanted to read...Badly.

My "waiting-for-the-release-date" selection this week is: Riders by Veronica Rossi Author of Under the Never Sky Trilogy

For eighteen-year-old Gideon Blake, nothing but death can keep him from achieving his goal of becoming a U.S. Army Ranger. As it turns out, it does.

Recovering from the accident that most definitely killed him, Gideon finds himself with strange new powers and a bizarre cuff he can’t remove. His death has brought to life his real destiny. He has become War, one of the legendary four horsemen of the apocalypse.

Over the coming weeks, he and the other horsemen—Conquest, Famine and Death—are brought together by a beautiful but frustratingly secretive girl to help save humanity from an ancient evil on the emergence.

They fail.

Now—bound, bloodied, and drugged—Gideon is interrogated by the authorities about his role in a battle that has become an international incident. If he stands any chance of saving his friends and the girl he’s fallen for—not to mention all of humankind—he needs to convince the skeptical government officials the world is in imminent danger. But will anyone believe him?

Easton doesn’t believe in love. He believes in Death. Darkness. Sin. As a reaper for Hell, it’s all he’s known for over four hundred years. When he gets slapped with the job of training the boss’s daughter, an angel who knows nothing but joy, he knows he’s in for a world of trouble.

Though he’s made it clear he wants nothing to do with her outside of work, Gwen would do anything to get closer to the dark and wounded reaper—even taint her angelic image and join the ranks of her father’s team of reapers. But in all her planning, she forgot to factor in one thing—how far the demons Easton doomed to hell would go to get revenge.

When the dangers of the Hell threaten Gwen, Easton will do whatever it takes to save her. But as the darkness closes in on them both, will he be able to save himself?

The Selection by Kiera Cass

THE SELECTION
by
Kiera Cass
(Website|Twitter)
For thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to escape the life laid out for them since birth. To be swept up in a world of glittering gowns and priceless jewels. To live in a palace and compete for the heart of gorgeous Prince Maxon.

But for America Singer, being Selected is a nightmare. It means turning her back on her secret love with Aspen, who is a caste below her. Leaving her home to enter a fierce competition for a crown she doesn't want. Living in a palace that is constantly threatened by violent rebel attacks.

Then America meets Prince Maxon. Gradually, she starts to question all the plans she's made for herself--and realizes that the life she's always dreamed of may not compare to a future she never imagined.


For some reason The Selection reminds me of The Red Queen and Hunger Games I know I'm weird, but with its caste system and royalty and all, I can't help it. I loved that book if you didn't know yet.. And I obviously hated The Selection. I hate the messed up attempt for the love triangle, well I hated the romance department of this book overall, it's freaking unbelievable and messed up. There was a lot of hole in the world building department too, thus the very low rating.

WARNING: FROM HERE ON, THIS REVIEW WILL HAVE A LOT OF RANTING. TURN BACK NOW IF YOU LOVE THIS BOOK.

BLURRED
by

(Goodreads|Twitter)
Cash is haunted by things. Hungry, hollow things. They only leave him alone when Anaya, Heaven’s beautiful reaper, is around. Cash has always been good with girls, but Anaya isn’t like the others. She’s dead. And with his deteriorating health, Cash might soon be as well.

Anaya never breaks the rules, but the night of the fire she recognized part of Cash’s soul—and doomed him to something worse than death. Cash’s soul now resides in an expired body, making him a shadow walker—a rare, coveted being that can walk between worlds. A being creatures of the underworld would do anything to get their hands on.

The lines between life and death are blurring, and Anaya and Cash find themselves falling helplessly over the edge. Trapped in a world where the living don’t belong, can Cash make it out alive?


Just look at that cover it's literally too good for my own.. I can't even.. I know I will love this book more that the first.. I just know.. and I am so glad to say that this 2nd installment of kissed by death didn't disappoint in any way. If anything this has surpasses the Inbetween way easily. Sorry Finn, Cash is just way too adorable.

INBETWEEN
by
Tara Fuller
(Goodreads|Twitter)
Since the car crash that took her father’s life three years ago, Emma’s life has been a freaky — and unending — lesson in caution. Surviving “accidents” has taken priority over being a normal seventeen-year-old, so Emma spends her days taking pictures of life instead of living it. Falling in love with a boy was never part of the plan. Falling for a reaper who makes her chest ache and her head spin? Not an option.

It’s not easy being dead, especially for a reaper in love with a girl fate has put on his list not once, but twice. Finn’s fellow reapers give him hell about spending time with Emma, but Finn couldn’t let her die before, and he’s not about to let her die now. He will protect the girl he loves from the evil he accidentally unleashed, even if it means sacrificing the only thing he has left…his soul.


"All in good time..."

BE PATIENT. That is about what I can advise. You will need a lot of patience if you are to read this book. I obviously ended up liking this a lot surprisingly, but it took me way too long to get past the few chapters.

TBR Books Tuesday: Confess by Colleen Hoover

Have you ever accidentally walked in a bookstore, thought of looking around just to waste away the time, and then walked out with arms full of books hours later? Yeah, that pretty much sums up the reason why my never ending pile of TBR books, keeps getting higher!


I need to pick one up this week to reduce the list.. The question is.. which one?? I am still currently reading Dorothy Must Die Stories, so Wicked Will Rise is out of option yet... Maybe I'll pick up.. Confess.

Contemporary romance isn't really my thing, I usually prefer Fantasy, with a touch of Romance **wink.

But I really really liked CoHo ever since I read that short story Never Never, funny though since it was a collaboration of her and Tarryn, anyway, this book has been making a huge buzz online, so I will definitely give it a shot.
