My Future Fix Pick! 

PineLight by Jillian Peery

Publication Date: July 4, 2011

Publisher: Jillian Peery

 (From Goodreads)

 "I loved him - that was my torment. And I was losing him all over again." Walls crumbled all around me. An undeniable force pulled at my core. I tried to fight it, I tried to deny it the power, but I was weak. I felt pain in my side, and I knew that this dark force was winning. My veins started to burn, and I screamed, but it didn't stop.

I don't remember exactly where I found this book, but I just about fell out of my chair when I did. I also know that it is already out, but it is not on my shelf, therefor, I must have it!

There is definitely not a lot to go off of, but I still feel amazed by it! I tend to fall in love with books where love is undeniable, unforgettable, the kind that you can try to fight, but in the end it is all destiny. PineLight seems like it could be like that. 

And, I am dying to know who this boy is that she is so in love with! Bring on the hot fantasy boy!!

PS: Gorgeous cover!!

Don't forget to enter my TWO giveaways!! Find them at the top of my page!

What are you waiting for??

My Future Fix Pick!

Eve by Anna Carey

Publication Date: October 4, 2011

Publisher: HarperCollins

Pages: 320

(From Goodreads)

The year is 2032, sixteen years after a deadly virus—and the vaccine intended to protect against it—wiped out most of the earth’s population. The night before eighteen-year-old Eve’s graduation from her all-girls school she discovers what really happens to new graduates, and the horrifying fate that awaits her.

Fleeing the only home she’s ever known, Eve sets off on a long, treacherous journey, searching for a place she can survive. Along the way she encounters Caleb, a rough, rebellious boy living in the wild. Separated from men her whole life, Eve has been taught to fear them, but Caleb slowly wins her trust...and her heart. He promises to protect her, but when soldiers begin hunting them, Eve must choose between true love and her life.

I want it! I needs it!

Set in the future with a girl who has never really met someone of the opposite sex! Explosion of emotions soon to come.

Hello, I want now!

I am trying to wrangle this one from NetGalley. Fingers crossed! 

What do you have your fingers crossed for this week??

 

Teaser Tuesday (11)

Legacy by Cayla Lynn Kluver

Publication Date: June 21, 2011

 (Goodreads Summary)

"He looked up when we entered, his deep blue eyes appraising us, the lift in his eyebrows his only reaction to our unorthodox arrival. In that instant, my tongue failed me. I had been concentrating so heavily on executing our placn that I had not given a single thought to what I would say should it prove successful."

pg. 134

I just started Legacy yesterday, and to be honest, I am already in love with it.

The norm for me is modern, urban fantasies, books of that type, so to have a book written in a different time and place is refreshing.

I love it!

Tease me!!

In My Mailbox (10)

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme created by Kristi at The Story Siren that gives readers the chance to share the books they bought/received/swapped/rented over the past week.

Oh, what did I get this week? Well, nothing much, just

A NookColor!!!

Whoo!! I am so stoked about this purchase! I have been reading digital review books for a few weeks on my laptop. Now, I love my laptop, but I am so happy that I don't have to lug it around with me everywhere! I can just take the Nook out of my purse, read for a while, and put it right back in if I'm at work or running around. Can I do that with a laptop? Definitely not as easily.

So, hello future, and watch out! Sonny has a Nook and I know how to use it!

From NetGalley:

Circus Galacticus by Deva Fagan

Publication Date: November 14, 2011                           

Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt

Pages: 304

Trix can deal with being an orphan charity case at a snotty boarding school. She can hold her own when everyone else tells her not to dream big dreams. She can even fight back against the mysterious stranger in a silver mask who tries to steal the meteorite her parents trusted her to protect.
    But her life is about to change forever. The Circus Galacticus has come to town, bringing acts to amaze, delight, and terrify. And now the dazzling but enigmatic young Ringmaster has offered Trix the chance to be a part of it.
    Soon Trix discovers an entire universe full of deadly enemies and potential friends, not to mention space leeches, ancient alien artifacts, and exploding chocolate desserts. And she just might unravel the secrets of her own past—if she can survive long enough.

This book sounds so adventurous that it caught my attention immediately! It seems to me that circus books are beginning to pop up out of nowhere lately, and I think that I just might have to jump on the wagon!
Plus, "the dazzling but enigmatic young Ringmaster" sounds like a whisper of a romance to me. Side show acts and romance, yes please!


For Nook:

Reckless by Cornella Funke

Publisher: Little Brown Books

Publication Date: September 14, 2010

Pages: 391

  

Beyond the mirror, the darkest fairy tales come alive. . . .
For years, Jacob Reckless has enjoyed the Mirrorworld’s secrets and treasures.

Not anymore.

His younger brother has followed him.
Now dark magic will turn the boy to beast, break the heart of the girl he loves, and destroy everything Jacob holds most dear. . . .
Unless he can find a way to stop it.


Reckless is not a typical read for me, but it sounds interesting, so I thought I would give it a try.

Retro Demonology by Jana Oliver
Publisher: St.Martin's Press
Publication Date: December 17, 2010




A Demon Trapper’s bonus story.
Before Riley Blackthorne can take on Grade Five demons, she has to trap her very first. Her debut solo trapping experience should be a breeze, just a harmless Grade One after all. But throw in some dippy hippies (whose peace signs and Patchouli really aren’t driving any demons away), one mischievous demon, and a run-in with the police, and Riley might not be able to pull it off...

I have my eye keenly trained onto A Demon Trapper's Daughter. I am hoping to buy it this next week. I want to read Retro Demon because, well, it sounds so cool. Simple as that!

 

Camille by Tess Oliver

Publisher: Tess Oliver

Publication Date: October 24, 2010

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At a time when society conforms to the strictest rules and most proper etiquette, sixteen-year-old Camille Kennecott and her guardian, Dr. Bennett, live a most unconventional life. They hunt werewolves.When unwitting victim, Nathaniel Strider, wanders into one of their full moon pursuits, Camille and Dr. Bennett believe they have found a specimen for their study. Finding a scientific key to unlocking the mystery of lycanthropy would end their late night excursions. Yet beneath the irresistible exterior, Nathaniel is transforming into a flesh-tearing monster, and as each experiment fails, Camille’s loses another inch of her soul to him. She knows that in a month’s time she must face the prospect of destroying the boy who has stolen her heart. Camille is a young adult, paranormal romance set in Victorian England.

Honestly, I don't read that many werewolf books, but I am hoping to get into them a lot more. There seems to be some great ones out there.

Camille had received rave reviews, so I am hoping one of those fab reviews will be one of mine in the future.

Also, the" paranormal romance" makes me drool over it even more :}

 

What reads are you drooling over this week??

My Future Fix Pick!

 Fifty Shades of Grey by E L James

 Publication Date: May 25, 2011

Publisher: The Writer's Coffee Shop Publishing House

"When literature student Anastasia Steele is drafted to interview the successful young entrepreneur Christian Grey for her campus magazine, she finds him attractive, enigmatic and intimidating. Convinced their meeting went badly, she tries to put Grey out of her mind - until he happens to turn up at the out-of-town hardware store where she works part-time. Erotic, amusing, and deeply moving, the Fifty Shades Trilogy is a tale that will obsess you, possess you, and stay with you forever."

I have been seeing this one around the blog-o-sphere lately as well. I am just wondering how on earth my sniffer didn't pick out this beauty before!!

I am getting a NookColor on Friday (Sooooo freakin' excited!!!!) and I am thinking that this one might be my first download. 

Did I mention how excited I am??

Well, let me say it again...
Excited!

SOOOOOExivOE excited!

Especially the "erotic and amusing" part of it.

Whew! Tired now...

What has your panties in a bundle this week???

         

Teaser Tuesday (10)

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! 

Spellbound by Cara Lynn Shultz
Publication Date: June 21, 2011

 

"I heard another sound popping behind me. It started off low- guttural. I spun around. The streetlight in front of me was smoking, black plumes steaming out as if it were on fire. I heard a sharp sizzling, crackling sound and instinctively crouched down, covering my head with my hands. I screamed as the frosted glass light exploded, a flash of flames shooting glass and filaments into a halo on the ground below. The burning embers extinguished as they fell on the wet leaves, sending off a sinister, snakelike hiss as the heat died out."

pg. 91

I just couldn't help myself; two sentences was just not enough! I love this entire paragraph. This was just another point and pick Teaser, so I hope it does the book some justice.
But, in just this one paragraph, I can tell that I already like the writing style.
Plus!
P.S.: Just a lil update before I post. I did start this book... and love it so far!
That is all.


Tease me!!

Tris and Izzie by Mette Ivie Harrison

Publication Date: October 11, 2011

Publisher: EgmontUSA

Pages: 272

  

"A modern retelling of the German fairytale "Tristan and Isolde", Tris and Izzie is about a young witch named Izzie who is dating Mark King, the captain of the basketball team and thinks her life is going swimmingly well. Until -- she makes a love potion for her best friend Brangane and then ends up taking it herself accidentally, and falling in love with Tristan, the new guy at school."

This week, I received Tris and Izzie from NetGalley for review.

At first, I was a little iffy on it. But, the more and more I saw it on reviews and read the blurbs, the more I fell in love.

So, I really do have high hopes for this one; I am so looking forward to reading and reviewing it!

And, loving every moment of it :)

What exciting things did you recieve this week??
