Sorry for being away.

You might have noticed that I haven't blogged lately. This is because I was busy revising for my senior finals which will start tomorrow.
So, I won't be able to blog anytime soon before June 7th next week (which will mark my independence day ;)).
Expect more to come and a lot of new stuff and reviews :).
Wish me luck.

  I wish there was only today, just right now, and no forever.
  It seems fitting that I fell in love in Paris, the most beautiful city in the world. And if I pretend, I can almost believe that my life is normal and everyone I care about is safe.
But as long as I’m with Vincent,normal doesn’t exist. Gorgeous, charming, and witty, he’s everything you could ask for in a boyfriend—but his destiny is so much more.
  Even more terrifying than his destiny are his dangerous enemies, enemies who will kill for immortality. How are Vincent and I supposed to be together forever if we’re always in danger?
I know I’ll do whatever it takes—even if it means lying to the people I love—to fight against a fate that is trying to tear us apart.

Randa’s E-book Haul: n°8

 

 

This is an e-book haul where I share books I bought, got from the library, were gifted to me or received for review and any other book related goodies I get in the mail.

This haul is mainly dedicated to e-books only because that’s what I read! But who knows, maybe someday I’ll get a printed book! ;).

It’s just an opportunity to share what books I got throughout the week. The covers are linked to Goodreads.

Review: Social Suicide by Gemma Halliday.

This review is part of the 2012 YA Contemporary Challenge. Read more about it here.

 

  Twittercide [twit-er-sahyd]: the killing of one human being by another while the victim is in the act of tweeting.
  Call me crazy, but I figured writing for the Herbert Hoover High Homepage would be a pretty sweet gig. Pad the resume for college applications, get a first look at the gossip column, spend some time ogling the paper’s brooding bad-boy editor, Chase Erikson. But on my first big story, things went... a little south. What should have been a normal interview with Sydney Sanders turned into me discovering the Homecoming Queen-hopeful dead in her pool. Electrocuted while Tweeting. Now, in addition to developing a reputation as HHH’s resident body finder, I’m stuck trying to prove that Sydney’s death wasn’t suicide.
  I’m starting to long for the days when my biggest worry was whether the cafeteria was serving pizza sticks or Tuesday Tacos…

Girl of Nightmares (Anna #2) by Kendare Blake final cover.

The final cover of Anna Dressed in Blood’s sequel, Girl of Nightmares, has just been announced.

It took me 15 minutes to actually decide which one I preferred. I loved the first cover and I read on Kendare’s blog that they were going to change the cover. But what I expected was a major change, fortunately, the changes were good!

Review of a past read: Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake.

 

Just your average boy-meets-girl, girl-kills-people story...
  Cas Lowood has inherited an unusual vocation: He kills the dead.
So did his father before him, until his gruesome murder by a ghost he sought to kill. Now, armed with his father’s mysterious and deadly athame, Cas travels the country with his kitchen-witch mother and their spirit-sniffing cat. Together they follow legends and local lore, trying to keep up with the murderous dead—keeping pesky things like the future and friends at bay.
  When they arrive in a new town in search of a ghost the locals call Anna Dressed in Blood, Cas doesn’t expect anything outside of the ordinary: move, hunt, kill. What he finds instead is a girl entangled in curses and rage, a ghost like he’s never faced before. She still wears the dress she wore on the day of her brutal murder in 1958: once white, but now stained red and dripping blood. Since her death, Anna has killed any and every person who has dared to step into the deserted Victorian she used to call home.
  And she, for whatever reason, spares his life.

Review: The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith.

This review is part of the 2012 YA Cotemporary Challenge. Read all about it here.

 

  Who would have guessed that four minutes could change everything?
  Today should be one of the worst days of seventeen-year-old Hadley Sullivan's life. She's stuck at JFK, late to her father's second wedding, which is taking place in London and involves a soon to be step-mother that Hadley's never even met. Then she meets the perfect boy in the airport's cramped waiting area. His name is Oliver, he's British, and he's in seat 18C. Hadley's in 18A.
  Twists of fate and quirks of timing play out in this thoughtful novel about family connections, second chances and first loves. Set over a 24-hour-period, Hadley and Oliver's story will make you believe that true love finds you when you're least expecting it.
