My Book Boyfriend #1

Weekly Meme Hosted By The Unread Reader

This week I'm going to try a new meme where I share all about one of my book boyfriends. 

Sounded like something I would enjoy ;-) Hope you do too!

This week my book boyfriend will be

From the Soul Screamers series by Rachel Vincent

He is a blonde haired, blue eyed, reaper

I've loved him since book one but in book five I was totally infatuated and obsessed with him!

He may be dead but he is hot, sweet, can appear anywhere and always brings pizza!

Swoon worthy quotes

"You just say the word, and I'll make the rest of the world go away. 

I'll take you someplace safe, where no one else can reach us." 

 "There’s an us?”
“As far as I’m concerned…” He leaned forward, his mouth inches from mine, and my pulse spiked. “There’s nothing but us." 

 "You're the brightest thing I've ever seen, Kaylee. You're this beautiful ball of fire spitting sparks out at the world, burning fiercely, holding back the dark by sheer will. And I always knew that if I reached out -- if i tried to touch you -- I'd get burned. Because you're not mine. I'm not supposed to feel the fire. I'm not supposed to want it. But I do. I want you, Kaylee, like I've never wanted anything. Ever. I want the fire. I want the heat, and the light, and I want the burn."

As for what he looks like in my mind...I don't think anyone could ever match. But I think Alex Pettyfer sometimes resembles the version of him in my mind.

 

Another reason Tod has been on my mind is because today Kaylee is in the Heroin Tourney!

Vote for her @ The YA-Sisterhood

The match only runs for 24 hours so head over today!

I'd love for you to comment about your book boyfriend!

Weekly Meme Hosted By Breaking The Spine

January is finally getting close which means several books I have been waiting for will be coming out!

 

The Ultimate Sacrifice.

Calla has always welcomed war. But now that the final battle is upon her, there’s more at stake than fighting. There’s saving Ren, even if it incurs Shay’s wrath. There’s keeping Ansel safe, even if he’s been branded a traitor. There’s proving herself as the pack’s alpha, facing unnamable horrors, and ridding the world of the Keepers’ magic once and for all. And then there’s deciding what to do when the war ends. If Calla makes it out alive, that is.

In the final installment of the Nightshade trilogy, New York Times bestselling author Andrea Cremer creates a novel with twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat until its final pages. A dynamic end to this breathtaking trilogy.

Godspeed was fueled by lies. Now it is ruled by chaos.
It's been three months since Amy was unplugged. The life she always knew is over. And everywhere she looks, she sees the walls of the spaceship Godspeed. But there may just be hope: Elder has assumed leadership of the ship. He's finally free to enact his vision - no more Phydus, no more lies.
But when Elder discovers shocking news about the ship, he and Amy race to discover the truth behind life on Godspeed. They must work together to unlock a puzzle that was set in motion hundreds of years earlier, unable to fight the romance that's growing between them and the chaos that threatens to tear them apart.
In book two of the Across the Universe trilogy, New York Times bestselling author Beth Revis mesmerizes us again with a brilliantly crafted mystery filled with action, suspense, romance, and deep philosophical questions. And this time it all builds to one mind-bending conclusion: They have to get off this ship.

For months part-angel Clara Gardner trained to face the raging forest fire from her visions and rescue the alluring and mysterious Christian Prescott from the blaze. But nothing could prepare her for the fateful decisions she would be forced to make that day, or the startling revelation that her purpose—the task she was put on earth to accomplish—is not as straightforward as she thought. Now, torn between her increasingly complicated feelings for Christian and her love for her boyfriend, Tucker, Clara struggles to make sense of what she was supposed to do the day of the fire. And, as she is drawn further into the world of part angels and the growing conflict between White Wings and Black Wings, Clara learns of the terrifying new reality that she must face: Someone close to her will die in a matter of months. With her future uncertain, the only thing Clara knows for sure is that the fire was just the beginning.

Don't Close Your Eyes.

Sophie Cavanaugh is not going to let her freak of a cousin's strange psychiatric condition ruin high school for them both. Not after all the work she's put into cultivating the right look, and friends, and reputation. But then, Sophie sees something so frightening she lets out a blood-curdling scream—and finds herself stuck in a bizarre parallel world where nothing is safe and deadly creatures lurk just out of sight, waiting for her to close her eyes and sleep...forever.

Could this world be real? Or does insanity run in the family...?

Out in January!

I just finished the eARC of this yesterday. I loved it! I only shared the quotes the author already shared on facebook as to not spoil anything. The facebook page is HERE

“Morning,” I said.
He leaned forward and rested his head on his hand. “Really?”
“What?”
“That sounded almost like friendliness, Princess.”
I forced a smile. “Please don’t call me that here.”
He shrugged. “Sorry, I forgot.”
“No you didn’t. You just use my title to annoy me.”
He rolled his eyes. “You know me so well. I exist to annoy you.”

“You dare speak to me in such an insolent manner?”
“Stop talking like you’re two hundred years old. You’re sixteen, just like me.”

"I don't think it can hurt. Wizards and witches go hand in hand, after all. Didn't you read Harry Potter?" Eden stared at him. "Well, yeah." "I didn't read the books," he continued. "But I did get to see the movies. A previous host was a fan. He even wore dress robes and pretended he'd been sorted into a house. Hufflepuff, if you can believe it. Who liked Hufflepuff best? I mean, seriously."

"You. You're the dark object her angelic half is attempting to cast out. You're the reason her magic is unreliable. Her black magic was caused by a spell, but it is a part of her, therefore organic to her core being. You, however are not."

Pet Peeves?

I can't think of too many right now but one is not reading in order. My brother just picks up whatever book and starts reading and I always want him to start with the first book. I just can't read or watch anything out of order. Don't know if that counts. Another pet peeve that I just thought of is clutter. My family is full of hoarders and I like clear space. I don't have a lot of furniture and knick knacks in my house. I like to keep it simple.  

Give us a glimpse into a typical day in your day starting when you wake up till you lie down again.
I hate to bore you but mostly if it is a weekend I sleep in late. I hate mornings! Then I usually always check my e-mail, goodreads, my blog, facebook, twitter and all that kind of stuff. I am a bit addicted. Usually I try to fill my day with reading and some cleaning. If I have time I like to visit friends and go to the movies. I spend a lot of time with my cat too. He is 16 1/2 this month exactly and he needs lots of love! I also love to stay up late!  Usually checking all the internet sites once again. In the summer I am more active and enjoy going to the river and bike riding. In the winter though I am a hermit. I hate the cold and stay inside.   

Pizza or Pasta?

Both are delicious but if I had to choose it would be pizza. I could eat it everyday! Especially pesto, feta, and sun dried tomato from my favorite pizza place!

Finish the sentence- one book I wish I had written is....

Delirium by Lauren Oliver so amazing! or The Host by Stephenie Meyer or The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger or Where She Went by Gayle Forman...Part of getting to know me is that I have trouble staying in my boundaries...Too many wonderful books

Favorite sport?

I mostly hate sports but I do occasionally enjoy a hockey game or a boxing match. Those are the most entertaining to me. Otherwise I don't watch sports. I enjoy dance and have always wanted to take karate lessons though.

If she didn’t let them know she could see them, they left her alone. Until she steps out of her car on the first day of school and sees an incredibly sexy guy lounging on a picnic table, watching her with an amused smirk on his face. Problem is, she knows he's dead. Not only does he not go away, when she ignores him he does something none of the others have ever done; he speaks. Pagan is fascinated by the soul. What Pagan doesn’t realize is that her appointed time to die is drawing near and the wickedly beautiful soul she is falling in love with is not a soul. He is Death and he is about to break all the rules.

I found Savor, the first book to the Warm Delicacy series on goodreads. I just loved the story so I am very excited to read the second book. Shattered Souls and Existence sound really interesting and they have great covers! I saw them on a bunch of WOWs last week which pumped up my enthusiasm!

Weekly Meme Hosted By Should Be Reading

I'm currently reading and teasing



Quote from Cassia and Xander

"You really want this? You want Ky, whatever the cost?" 

"No, I say. "Not at any cost." 

"So where do you draw the line? What won't you give up?"

I swallow. "My family." 

"But you don't mind giving me up," he says. His jaw tightens and he looks away. Look back, I think. Don't you know that I love you, too? That you have been my friend for years? That I still feel Matched to you in some ways?

Quote from Ky

"You're getting weak," Vick says finally. "And that might kill you. Might mean you never see her again." "If I don't lookout for him," I tell Vick, "I'd be someone she didn't know, even if she did see me again."

I'm a new blogger and this is my first FF! Thank you for visiting and I will follow everyone back. I am in the process of moving which sucks horribly so I might not get a chance to follow everyone back until tomorrow or even Sunday but don't worry I will! :-) 

Q: What is your biggest pet peeve when it comes to books? Maybe you don’t like love triangles or thin plots? Tell us about it!

My biggest pet peeve in books is the love at first sight, psycho insta~love syndrome and then the I can't eat, can't sleep, can't do my homework without just dreaming of you. I hate when a female character sees a boy and just instantly goes all CRAZY for him. I need build up and reasons why this boy is supposedly so fantastic. I also hate when the female just swoons all over the guy and lets him get away with everything. Boy treats female horrible, female just goes it's okay I forgive you. NOOO! Maybe that is why I am usually never a fan of the main love interest. I am usually into boy #2 but usually the girl always stays with her first love
