Top Ten: Books At The Top Of My Summer TBR List

**Hosted by The Broke and the Bookish Top Ten Tuesday is a countdown spotlighting, well, anything bookish!**

I've Got to Read These Books:

1.) Endless Knight by Kresley Cole: All I could think of after putting Poison Princess down last year was just how badly I needed its sequel. I am so, so glad that this book releases later this year!

2.) Unbreakable by Kami Garcia: Something tells me that this book will be kick-ass. I get these vibes whenever I look at it or read its blurb...that cover was made to unhinge jaws on the regular :) I really am a fan of the Garcia/Stohl writing duo, and it'll be a pleasure to read their individual works.

3.) The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black: Yeah! I want this, gosh I WANT this. Can I fast forward a few months, just to get this book? Thank-you!

4.) World After (Angelfall #2) by Susan Ee: I almost thought this one wouldn't happen. The release date was all up in the air and there was limited news of Angelfall's second...I kind of had a spaz attack thinking of it not existing! Ultimately, I'm just glad that there will be more Penryn, her story could not end where it did! And it means more Raffe, thank goodness for Raffe!

5.) Crash Into You by Katie McGarry: The fact that I have yet to read Dare You To notwithstanding, I loved Pushing the Limits and McGarry seems like a pretty solid author, and thus the continuation of said awsomeness is kind of expected. Also, who could resist reading about Isaiah? Not me. 

6.) The Historians by Trisha Leigh: Loving the concept of this, time-travelling historians with a dash of mystery, suspense and romance in the mix? I'm a so going to be on this. My fingers are crossed that the author doesn't disappoint. 

7.) Solstice by P.J. Hoover: This releases TODAY. Hear me, World? Today! I'm hitting the book stores or renting it at the library. Either way, Solstice is most definitely a summer TBR.

8.) Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell: Another book by my new favourite author? Yes, please! I have a crush on Rowell and will willingly read anything that this woman churns out. 

9.) Fireblood by Trisha Wolf: I've been sold on this one for a while now, I'm hoping that it lives up to my expectations, I want to love this book like mad. Don't let me down?

10.) Wild Cards by Simone Elkeles: I couldn't very well leave Simone Elkeles off my list! The woman is fantastic!! I was so happy when the deets of this book came out, I'm kind of going crazy for its release later this year.

That's all Folks! What books made the cut on your list? Share with me if we have some of the same, or if you have a few that I missed, I'm always open to new books ;)

Take care!

Waiting on Wednesday (11): The Burning Sky

*Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill@Breaking the Spine and is a weekly meme allowing for bloggers to connect and share their most anticipated reads.*

 Hi Loves!

This week I'm waiting on...

The Burning Sky by Sherry Thomas
Releasing: September 17th 2013

Goodreads Summary


It all began with a ruined elixir and an accidental bolt of lightning…

Iolanthe Seabourne is the greatest elemental mage of her generation—or so she's being told. The one prophesied for years to be the savior of The Realm. It is her duty and destiny to face and defeat the Bane, the greatest mage tyrant the world has ever known. A suicide task for anyone let alone a sixteen-year-old girl with no training, facing a prophecy that foretells a fiery clash to the death.

Prince Titus of Elberon has sworn to protect Iolanthe at all costs but he's also a powerful mage committed to obliterating the Bane to revenge the death of his family—even if he must sacrifice both Iolanthe and himself to achieve his goal.

But Titus makes the terrifying mistake of falling in love with the girl who should have been only a means to an end. Now, with the servants of the Bane closing in, he must choose between his mission and her life.

Why I'm Waiting: Because mages are awesome, duh, and I really need a good high-fantasy novel! I'm not feeling the whole guy-using-girl angle, but hey, it is what it is. This could be a killer book, I can feel it, and all the books I'm dying for don't come out until later this year! *Sigh* I guess this will be another reason to look forward to the months of September-December...

What are you waiting on?

Fashion Review: Banggood.com

**A little meme in which I review some non-book related, but killer fashion/fashion items that I have been loving as of late!**

Hi Loves! 

So by the banner above, hopefully you can tell a little what this post is about! I thought I would try something new, and while it isn't at all book-related, fashion is important to me. For those of you unfamiliar with my Polyvore account, feel free to click the link and check me out, I use the site to make fashion sets. Sometimes the sets are based on the books I read, and other times they're total random fashion-sets inspired by popular trends or personal style. Today I wanted to share my review for a few products received from Banggood.com. 

I was approached by a representative of the company a few months ago and asked to do 15 promotional sets. You can find the collection here, but in return they gave me three items of my choosing! Note now that there was never any monetary compensation for the sets nor will there be such for these reviews. There. Now that we have that out of the way, scroll to see what I got!

Banggood.com: Product Review by mewcrazy1993 featuring a leather case

Long sleeved t shirt, 26 CAD / Bohemia flower necklace, 2.01 CAD / Leather case, 3.03 CAD

My Review:

20pcs Makeup Cosmetic Brushes Set Kit Pink Leather Case: I liked these brushes! A few shed quite a bit, but the others were reliable and easy to use. I wasn't a huge fan of the packaging, the case is almost plastic, but the brushes are feminine and usable. I love brushes and that this comes 20pcs in one set was a fantastic bonus.

Bohemia Gold Tone Multilayer Rhinestone Hollow Flower Pendant Necklace: This necklace was actually thinner than I expected, it isn't real, but could easily adapt to a multitude of Summer/Spring outfits and looks. It also comes pretty affordable so that is always a plus!

Zanzea New Universe Pattern Galaxy Print Long Sleeve Loose T-shirt: I got so many looks from this, it is definitely a statement piece! Adore the galaxy print, such a great sweater. It fits pretty true-to-size and is one of my favourites!

*******************

What did you think of the items, and have you ever purchased at Banggood.com before? If so, what did you get? If this is something y'all would like to see me do again be sure to let me know. Love you lots!!

 Hi Loves!

This week I'm waiting on...

Solstice by P.J. Hoover
Releasing: June 18th 2013

Goodreads Summary

Piper's world is dying.

Each day brings hotter temperatures and heat bubbles that threaten to destroy the earth. Amid this global heating crisis, Piper lives under the oppressive rule of her mother, who suffocates her even more than the weather does. Everything changes on her eighteenth birthday, when her mother is called away on a mysterious errand and Piper seizes her first opportunity for freedom.

Piper discovers a universe she never knew existed—a sphere of gods and monsters—and realizes that her world is not the only one in crisis. While gods battle for control of the Underworld, Piper’s life spirals out of control as she struggles to find the answer to the secret that has been kept from her since birth.

An imaginative melding of mythology and dystopia, Solstice is the first YA novel by talented newcomer P. J. Hoover.

I saw this book on another WoW post and just had to add it to my list! How gorgeous is that cover? And Gods & Goddesses plus and Apocalyptic setting? I can hardly wait. I need this, like now. What are you waiting on? You have to share with me, I'd love to know :)

Top Ten: Words/Topics That Instantly Make Me Buy/Pick Up A Book

**Hosted by The Broke and the Bookish Top Ten Tuesday is a countdown spotlighting, well, anything bookish!**

Top Ten Words That Gravitate Me Towards Any Book: 

Forbidden: This word sounds so off-limits, how on earth am I supposed to resist?

Sizzling: I love, love, LOVE good romantic chemistry! Being a fan of romance, I appreciate it when a book promises a sizzling connection between the female and male leads, so hot that the page kind of chars a little. It can be love/hate or whatever, but reading about their chemistry has to make me sit back and dig deeper into the novel.

Magic: A little magic never hurt anyone! I appreciate a touch of the supernatural.

Heartwrenching: Tissues, anyone? I love a good cry. Man, when a book has me feeling that invested, you know it's good. Needless to say, the promise of said tear-jerking feelings always has me grabbing books of this sort fast.

Stunning: This word is especially powerful when the book cover backs it up! If it's pretty on the outside AND the blurb promises goodies on the inside, I can hardly keep from picking it up.

Romance: Really, this is almost a MUST. I adore romance and can never get enough of it! Got romance? Give. Me.

Fate: I love a little mysticism in the books I read, so why not throw fate in the mix? Usually books that mention this concept have a lot to do with Starcrossed Lovers, and we all know how I feel about my romance...

Secrets: I was addicted to Pretty Little Liars (the books) for precisely this reason! I love a good secret, especially when it is of catastrophic proportions. Who doesn't love for a little chaos to go down when all is finally revealed?

Mysterious: Think with me here: my mind is going along the lines of "Mysterious" Men. Yes, please! Or just give me mystery as a theme in general, it thickens the plot and a good amount of eeriness really helps carry the story along.

Adventure: I like knowing that eventually we will go somewhere! There is nothing worse than reading a novel and feeling as though NOTHING is happening. Seriously, just shoot me now! I like that when Adventure is mentioned, people at least wander around a bit, or slay a dragon or two, I really don't ask for much ;)

I've shared the words that pique my interest. What jumps out to YOU when reading a book blurb/hearing a recommendation? Maybe we think alike, share in the comments and let me know!

Author Spotlight: Fleur Gaskin & Arabelle's Shadows

**The idea has been around for far longer than I have been blogging, but it is a great opportunity to make a banner (meme style) and share some and coming authors, as well as their books, with you. Enjoy!**

Hey Guys!!

See that banner? Well you know what this means! I know, I haven't been the most active blogger *hangs head in shame* BUT I have a special treat. Penance? Today there's a special guest on Choice Reads, and that is author of Arabelle's Shadows: Fleur Gaskin! She has been kind enough to answer a few questions as well as leave an excerpt of her book, but before we get into the actual spotlight, here's a little heads up about both Fleur and Arabelle's Shadows.

Fleur Gaskin is from New Zealand. She was an international model for six years, working in over ten countries, mainly in Asia and Europe. She has been in TV commercials, walked on runways and appeared in many magazines including Elle, Marie Claire and Vogue. She presently lives in Shanghai, China with her fiancé.

Arabelle's Shadows by Fleur Gaskin

Published: November 25th, 2012

Pages: 268

Goodreads Summary

Everything in Arabelle's life is coming together. She has confidence, great friends, she's even dating Naak, a wealthy Thai socialite. But there are too many models in Bangkok. Arabelle’s broke, she can’t find an agent in New York, and Naak isn’t as wonderful as he first appears. Slowly the Shadows creep back into Arabelle’s mind, bringing with them thoughts of hopelessness and despair. The vile Shadows know something Arabelle’s refusing to remember and, if she’s not careful, they’ll use it to destroy her. Based on a true story, Arabelle’s Shadows takes us on a journey through the struggles of growing up, not quite making it as an international model, and attempting to overcome a crushing depression.

Q: What inspired you to write, and when did you know that writing was a passion you wanted to pursue?

A: Even as a very small child I planned on becoming a writer. We were always surrounded by books in my house and I greedily gobbled them up. When I was twelve I announced to my teacher that I was going to write a novel and become the world’s youngest writer. Though the intentions were there, that book never even got started and then puberty arrived and I forgot all about writing. Then in 2002, I was modelling in Paris when I read Wuthering Heights. The book resonated with me and I thought, I want to tell stories like that, I want to make others feel all the emotions I had just felt and instantly the plots of two novels popped into my head.

Q: If there is one thing that motivates you the most, what is it?

A: Injustice. I know that people call me idealistic but I don’t care. I want the world to become a fairer, more balanced place. Seeing other people’s suffering destroys me and I will not rest until I have found a way to bring more love into the world. I am hoping that Arabelle’s Shadows will be the beginning of this journey.

Q: Why should readers be interested in reading Arabelle's Shadows?

A: Everyone knows someone with depression and everyone has their own vile Shadows, their own insecurities and fears that hold them back from truly living. Arabelle’s Shadows gives us an idea of how to control those Shadows. It also gives us an understanding of other people’s Shadows and hopefully it will help them forgive. Arabelle’s Shadows has lots of travel in it, you can experience what it’s like to live in Bangkok, Hong Kong or Milan. Go on an emotional journey with Arabelle full of highs and lows and lots of hope

Q: Which writers do you look to for inspiration and why? 

A: The writer who I am in awe of is Harper Lee. To Kill a Mockingbird hit me in the core of my soul. I am amazed by Margaret Atwood, her plot and storytelling skills are incredible. John Marsden, the writer of the Tomorrow when the War Began series, is the author who I would like to follow in the footsteps of, his novels speak teenage truth. J.K Rowling is a genius and I simply love to know that an author like that exists in the world.

Q: What role does happiness play in your life, and why is it such a key factor in Arabelle's Shadows?

Human beings spend so much of their valuable time on Earth worrying about things that really aren’t that important. Why would you spend 80 hours a week working to earn money you have no time to enjoy? In comparison with the majority of the world I was born into great fortune. I had a house, I was never hungry, I went to great schools, politically I could say whatever I wanted and yet, I was not happy.

 I have learned in my life that the only way to be happy is to choose to be happy. That happiness comes from friendship, family and love, not from wealth, beauty or skinniness. All Arabelle ever wanted was to be happy. In Arabelle’s Shadows she travels around the world, learning about different faiths, different cultures, trying to piece the puzzle together. Here’s a hint if you want to be happy – Love yourself, just the way you are.

Q: Your novel tackles issues relating to the fashion industry, can you speak of how personal experiences helped shape this book?

A: By the time I started writing Arabelle’s Shadows I was so fed up with the modelling industry. Models are lowest on the totem pole of the fashion industry. Designers, clients, photographers, stylists and often makeup artists are all above us. We are poked and prodded and analysed like a piece of merchandise, not like a person. Our agencies (the people who are supposed to have our back) see us as money making machines and are rarely honest with us.

When I first started modelling I was told I needed to move to Auckland, so I did. I was told I shouldn’t work during the day in case I had castings. I didn’t have castings and because I wasn’t working, I didn’t have money either. The agency kept on telling me to keep waiting, that things would pick up soon. Now I realise that I was one of a hundred girls they had signed, they didn’t care if I personally was working so long as some of their models were.

 In Arabelle’s Shadows I tried to give an honest account of what modelling is like for the majority of models. There are some great times and great experiences that come with modelling, but I wouldn’t recommend it to any of my friends.

Q: What message do you hope your readers leave with?

A: To fight to be happy. You can change your dreams but never give up.

Thanks Fleur! I love that this author is writing from personal experiences, she has been such an open and kind individual to work with; I wish her the best with Arabelle's Shadows and find her to be a true inspiration. For those of you still on the fence about Shadows, there is a teaser from the book below, read it and see if it's the book for you!

My day started off okay. I had a casting at Emporium, a shopping centre near Rompo. I’ve always loved being in Emporium. Outside it’s all hot, dirty and crowded but as soon as you walk through the entrance everything’s cool, spacious and sparkly. And it’s welcoming, even though it’s full of lavish designer stores. It’s not like other stuffy malls for the wealthy, which always make me feel uncomfortable like, since I don’t have a platinum credit card, I shouldn’t be there.

After the casting I saw my friend Ying Thompson walking towards the escalator. She broke off from the group she was with and came over to give me a hug. “Hey Arabelle, what are you doing? Come sit with me while I get my makeup done.”

“Are you doing a fashion show?” I asked her thinking of all the models that’d been with her. “Nope. The others are, I’m hosting the event. Come on!” Without waiting for me to reply she linked her arm through mine and led me downstairs towards a backstage area in the basement. Ying’s a very popular singer in Thailand. As we walked through the mall you could hear people saying her name and giggling. Ying paid no attention to all the turning heads. She was on the phone, in the middle of a fierce monetary negotiation with a client. They want her to become the face of their rice crackers.

The concrete room we entered was full of people bustling around getting ready for the fashion show. We found an empty space and sat down amongst everyone else’s handbags, shawls and bottles of water.

“So what’s been happening?” She asked in a strong Kiwi accent (her Dad's from New Zealand, her Mum’s Thai-Chinese). “I think I…” I was bursting to tell her about Naak but Ying’s assistant interrupted and started asking a lot of questions in Thai. “Sorry,” Ying said focusing her attention back to me, “what were you going to say?”

“I was out at Bed the other week and… well… I think I’m dating Naak!”

Ying pursed her lips together in a frown, not the look of excitement I’d been expecting. “No you’re not.” Ying said flatly, “Naak has a girlfriend. She left to study in the States a couple of weeks ago.”

Looking away from Ying I caught sight of my reflection in the makeup mirror opposite me. My face was stuck in the smile I’d worn when I was telling her I had a boyfriend. Except now the lines around my mouth were strained. With bulging eyes my smile looked more like a grimace.

“I think they’re dating because her family owns a lot of the property on Sukumvit Road,” Ying continued. “You know, she’s only eighteen!” Naak’s thirty.

“Okay,” I murmured. I searched desperately for something else to say in response. Luckily the brand new mobile on Ying’s lap began to vibrate. With her perfectly manicured fingers, a tiny crystal heart in the centre of each nail, Ying set about replying to the text message. Ying hates all unpleasantness and it appeared that, as far as she was concerned, the issue was settled.

I’ve had plenty of experience detaching myself from my wretched weeping soul and by the time Ying put her phone down I'd rearranged my face into neutral. My robot body looked at my mobile and told Ying, “Sorry, I've got to go see the agency now,” it hugged her goodbye. It smiled and acted like Arabelle didn’t care that Naak had a girlfriend.

My insides died and disintegrated the whole journey home. I paused the tears right up until I exited the elevator. When I found no one in my shared room I blinked, allowing them trickle down the sides of my face and jump to the floor.

Waiting on Wednesday (8): One by Leigh Ann Kopans

*Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill@Breaking the Spine and is a weekly meme allowing for bloggers to connect and share their most anticipated reads.*

Hi Loves,

This week I'm waiting on...

One by Leigh Ann Kopans
Release Date: June 11, 2013

Goodreads Summary

When having two powers makes you a Super and having none makes you a Normal, having only one makes you a sad half-superpowered freak.

It makes you a One.

Sixteen-year-old Merrin Grey would love to be able to fly – too bad all she can do is hover.

If she could just land an internship at the Biotech Hub, she might finally figure out how to fix herself. She busts her butt in AP Chem and salivates over the Hub’s research on the manifestation of superpowers, all in hopes of boosting her chances.

Then she meets Elias VanDyne, another One, and all her carefully crafted plans fly out the window. Literally. When the two of them touch, their Ones combine to make them fly, and when they’re not soaring over the Nebraska cornfields, they’re busy falling for each other.

Merrin's mad chemistry skills land her a spot on the Hub's internship short list, but as she gets closer to the life she always wanted, she discovers that the Hub’s purpose is more sinister than it has always seemed. Now it’s up to her to decide if it's more important to fly solo, or to save everything - and everyone - she loves.

Why I'm Waiting: I feel like if the summary/premise doesn't grab you with this book, then the stunning cover definitely will. It reminds me of Let the Sky Fall by Shannon Messenger just because of the cover and the overall concept of super-human flight. This one is really pretty and I have my fingers crossed tight that the wait will be worth it! What do you think, and what are you waiting on? 

XX,

Cover Reveal: March 2, 2013

**A post in which I reveal some of the prettiest new/up and coming books, the covers buzzing through the blogosphere.**

Best Covers of the Week...

The Fiery Heart by Richelle Mead 
Releasing: November 19th, 2013
My First Impression: I am thinking that this cover is gorgeous because it manages to make Sydney and Adrian look good for once! Usually Adrian ends up resembling an old Vicar or Count, and Sydney just isn't pretty. I like the cover and title because the characters seem to finally be coming to life!

The Unbound by Victoria Schwab
Releasing: January 28th, 2014
My First Impression: The Unbound looks a little grey, but it does manage to keep in theme with The Archived's cover. Not one to judge a book COMPLETELY by its cover, I'm hoping the story shines more than the book's outward appearance.   

Escapement by Ciara Knight
Releasing: February 25th, 2013
My First Impression:  How perfect is this cover?! I'm loving the gloomy atmosphere, a girl chained to the ground amidst a seemingly desolate city and a clock shining down on her, as if foreboding a secret gift or heritage! Something tells me that I will love Escapement, and I plan on reading it, if only to discover how she looses those chains!

Imitation by Heather Hildenbrand
Releasing: March 12, 2013
My First Impression: Can you say creepy much? Those eyes are startling and they jump out against the almost all-white backdrop of the girl's face and hair. Although the eyes are a tad disconcerting, the book looks like a great dystopian YA novel and I am looking forward to its release.

Tumble & Fall by Alexandra Coutts
Releasing: September 17th, 2013
My First Impression: This cover is so cute!! I am in love with the couple on the cover, with the asteroid supposedly on its way to hit earth in the book, you would think that they'd have more positive things to do than sit back on the grass and watch it hit them. The guy looks like he doesn't really mind, though, so win-win amiright?














Wait For You by Jennifer Armentrout (writing as J. Lynn)
Released: February 26th, 2013
My First Impression: J.A. has a new contemporary book out?! Well call me Santa Clause's elf, I need to get my hands on this! But preferably before Christmas. This cover is an interesting one. It looks like the guy is all for the kiss 100%, but the girl is considering something, maybe if the garlic she's been sniffing comes from his mouth? We may never know.

All in all, there were some kicking covers this week, I loved all of them and had to share :) Which ones have you most excited? Share your thoughts with me and be sure to take care!

Top Ten: Authors on My Auto-Buy List

**Hosted by The Broke and the Bookish Top Ten Tuesday is a countdown spotlighting, well, anything bookish!**

Top Ten Five Authors on My Auto-Buy List:

1. Laini Taylor: I am in love with Laini Taylor's masterful prose; she can whisk me away to any magical world and I wouldn't mind in the slightest. Keep in mind, I've only read Daughter of Smoke and Bone by this author, but I am absolutely in love with her dynamic characters and creative world-building skills, any and everything Laini Taylor is fine by me.

2. Wendy Higgins:  Kaidan from Sweet Evil, anyone? Thought so, enough said there. Seriously though, this author wowed me with her début, so much so that my copy of Sweet Peril is already on pre-order. Yup, you know you've made it when you aren't just "auto-buy" worthy, but pre-order auto-buy worthy! 

3. Tahereh Mafi: I'm still reeling from how good Unravel Me is, pretty sure I will buy anything this woman writes! Her style of prose is very different, what with the slashes through almost every second word and semi-free verse, but a good different to be sure. I need that last book in the series and when it releases, it'll be an immediate buy, if not pre-order. Also, Warner. I have to support Warner! 

4. Stephanie Perkins: Because she gave me Anna and the French Kiss! I somewhat devoted to her writing for life. That book was a perfect milkshake of romance, contemporary and comedy; give me writing by Stephanie Perkins and I wouldn't mind a bit!


5. Susan Ee: I am still waiting for the next book in the Penryn and the End of Days series, Angelfall #2. I loved the first book, and cannot wait for the second, so I guess that technically that makes Ee an auto-buy author since I need the next book so badly.

What books would you drop all others to buy??

Stacking the Shelves (10)

**"Stacking the Shelves" is run by Tynga @ Tynga's Book Reviews and I'm linking up with some of the great books I found this week.**

Hey Lovelies! 

This post will not be long as I just have a brief Stacking the Shelves to share this week: Just One Day by Gayle Forman and The Madman's Daughter by Megan Shepherd. 

If you're thinking, "she got instagram photos up!" then you are absolutely correct! I needed to try it again and found out that g+ works really well in transferring the uploads from my phone :) Earlier this week, I bought Just One Day and The Madman's Daughter from my local Chapters, and with a little help from a pearl necklace of mine, they were ready to share ;) I have heard really great things about both books and am pumped to read them!
