This book started out strong, a nice good fairy tale that kept me engaged and wanting to find out how it ended, but then I was kind of disappointed at the ending. Anyone else read this and have an opinion? That cover sure is pretty though and I would still recommend reading it.
I was able to receive digital ARC's of several awesome looking books, but the one I am most excited about is Afterlife by Claudia Gray. I am a huge fan of the series Evernight and after Twilight it is probably the best series I have found yet. The book doesn't come out until March 2011 so I am of course strutting my cool stuff all over the place but anyways, I will read it asap and the others. In the meantime check out the hot covers of these books I got (digitally of course but still)
EDIT: I have found out I am supposed to wait to post reviews until closer to the release of these books, but I have almost finished Afterlife and it does not disappoint!

So we all have the New Moon soundtrack and love Anya Marina's Satellite Heart. RIGHT?!!!
Check out her latest geniusness.
(It's a cover of T.I's version for those of you who live under a rock....)
OK I finished this book last night and I just have a few things to say. First of all, this book was amazing. I'm now just sad it took me so long to read. I guess because its cover is so similar to Swoon, and Bleeding violet and even kind of The Dark Divine. I dunno. Anyways so this book was sooo great it had all of the elements,
1. Love triangle
2. Me crying
3. Me caring when the sequel comes out
and as an added bonus it takes place in Baltimore and surrounding areas and I am from MD also so hearing the names of all those places I know about was cool -- however, I wonder how it would be for a non-local. Like... she talked about places so much (or maybe I just noticed them alot since I know where they are) that I wonder if non locals are like wtheck is she talking about or more importantly WHY is she talking about that, as in: why do I care what the street name is? Does that make sense? Who knows, and like I said maybe I only noticed because I know the area and all books are like that.
Anyways so this is freaky.... I finished it last night ... Oct 19th, the same day Logan was born AND died. (He died on his birthday) so that is weird right? I had chills when I finished, and also today (the 20th) is my husbands birthday. oooOOOOoooo.
No I'm not old I just got married young!!! : P
This book won't be released until early next year but doesn't it's description sound a lot like Scott Westerfield's Uglies series? Granted, in Uglies, being ugly was what the government cured and here it is love, but you get the idea....
Love has been declared a dangerous disease, and the government forces everyone who reaches eighteen to have a procedure called "the Cure," in Lauren Oliver's stunning second novel, DELIRIUM. Lena Haloway is very much looking forward to being cured and living a safe, predictable life.She will be evaluated by the government, which will choose her husband for her. But then she meets Alex, a boy from the Wilds who is living under the government's radar, and she falls in love, threatening both their lives.
In this world, affection is prohibited. Touching and hugging are suspicious behaviors, even among family members. But despite government obtrusiveness, people find ways to connect and to be together. Hana finds like-minded people through embedded links on websites. And after meeting Alex, Lena understands that an emotional connection to another person is something she's always been missing--and now it's something she won't live without.
Has anyone gotten this yet? I have it at home and I cannot wait to read it! This cover is gorgeous! I hope it is as hard to put down as it is to stop looking at.
This book sat on my shelf awhile because of the cheesy cover but it was actually a good read. By good, I mean I was able to finish it which is more than I can say for some of the books I have read recently, but don't expect any teen angst here, this is a little more saucy and grownup love. Good news is it's part of an established series so you don't have to wait for the next one to come out!
