Cover Reveal: GRETA & THE GOBLIN KING By: Chloe Jacobs

 

 

 

While trying to save her brother four years ago, Greta was thrown into the witch’s fire herself, falling through a portal to a dangerous world where humans are the enemy, and every ogre, goblin, and ghoul has a dark side that comes out with the full moon.

To survive, seventeen-year-old Greta has hidden her humanity and taken the job of bounty hunter—and she’s good at what she does. So good, she’s caught the attention of Mylena’s young Goblin King, the darkly enticing Isaac, who invades her dreams and undermines her determination to escape.

But Greta’s not the only one looking to get out of Mylena. The full moon is mere days away, and an ancient evil knows she’s the key to opening the portal. If Greta fails, she and the lost boys of Mylena will die. If she succeeds, no world will be safe from what follows her back…

Prom and books really do go hand and hand....

Well we are in spring!  It is finally here!  I thought this winter was never going to end.  This past winter was not that bad...but I still  hate everything about the winter.  I hate being cold...:(  So I am very happy that the weather is nice and sometimes warm outside.  

Spring brings some really awesome things....baseball, softball, camp fires, and the best one of them all....prom.



I remember being in high school this was the best time of  the year!  You were trying to figure out who you were going with, what you were wearing, and where you were eating before hand.  These were all questions that I asked myself repeatedly my junior and senior year of high school.  But with all the planning and stressing, it was the best time of my life!




Well if you are in the mood to read some great books that will bring back your memories of your prom days, don't worry I have just the books for you!

Friday, April 6th - Book Series Finales: Which book, from any series has been your favorite ending? What about your least favorite ending? 





Oh series finales....boy do I hate them!  My favorite series ending was the Summer series by: Jenny Han!  This book ended the way that I wanted it to end.  I almost threw the book a few times because of the way the book was going.  But hands down, was the best ending ever!!!








The Morganville Vampires: Volume 1 (The Morganville Vampires, #1-2)




And my least favorite ending was the Morganville Vampire series.  I just could not get into these book after about book 5.  :( 







Well that is it!!!

Review: Starters



Starters
By: Lissa Price
Publisher: Delacortie Press
Pages: 368
Release Date: March 13, 2012
Source: Bought at book signing



Goodreads Synopsis:


HER WORLD IS CHANGED FOREVER 

Callie lost her parents when the Spore Wars wiped out everyone between the ages of twenty and sixty. She and her little brother, Tyler, go on the run, living as squatters with their friend Michael and fighting off renegades who would kill them for a cookie. Callie's only hope is Prime Destinations, a disturbing place in Beverly Hills run by a mysterious figure known as the Old Man. 

He hires teens to rent their bodies to Enders—seniors who want to be young again. Callie, desperate for the money that will keep her, Tyler, and Michael alive, agrees to be a donor. But the neurochip they place in Callie's head malfunctions and she wakes up in the life of her renter, living in her mansion, driving her cars, and going out with a senator's grandson. It feels almost like a fairy tale, until Callie discovers that her renter intends to do more than party—and that Prime Destinations' plans are more evil than Callie could ever have imagined. . . .



My Thoughts:


I <3 Dystopians.  I can not get enough of them.  I think they will never get old, and this book  is one of the reasons.  This book was a very fresh take on dystopians.  It showed that you not only need a different world, but you need a different culture as well.

You meet Callie.  She is a starter.  In this world there are Starters and there are Enders.  The Enders usually live to 100 years old or long and they usually have a lot of money.  So they pay a company to get Starters to come in and rent their body so that they can live a little.  I mean, how genius is that! It sounded amazing when I heard about the book and then I was recommended the book by a fellow blogger.  (Jacinda@thereadinghousewives)  And boy am I glad that I read this book.  I seriously can not wait to read the next book, Enders.  It comes out this December!!!! :) I will be counting down the days!

If you want to read a book that is amazing and keeps you on your toes, this is defiantly a book for  you!  I am so happy that I gave this book a chance.  This book had everything that I think a book should have!  It was a page turner, it had action, and suspense.  I think that those are must haves for a good dystopian.  And Lissa Price did just that.



My Rating:



I am giving this book 5 out 5 stars!

TGIF at GReads! {12}


IT IS FRIDAY!!!! YAY!! This is my favorite day of the week!  Well I can guess that it is pretty much the favorite day of the week for most! :)  And this weeks question is a pretty awesome question if you ask me...



Friday, March 30th - Book Blogger Retreat: If you could gather up a handful of book blogger friends to spend a weekend away talking books, where would you go? Tell us about it.



Where do I even begin with this question....


Well I think that a perfect retreat for bookish people would be Napa Valley!   We could sit around and drink wine and talk about books...this sounds so amazing!  We could spend a weekend there in a bed and breakfast right in one of the vineyards.  We could eat cheese and bread and drink wine all day!  Now I want to plan this trip!  If you are up for going, please email me...I want to get right on this trip....lol :)


What is your dream book retreat?
