LDS Authors Giveaway Hop


I am participating in the LDS Authors Giveaway Hop hosted by I am a Reader, Not a Writer & The Book Bug. So, I'm supposed to be giving a book by any LDS author, and that's what I'm doing. The book I'm "featuring" is My Double Life by Janette Rallison.It's a realistic Romance that I bought a couple years back and is perfect for this giveaway!

Check it Out!

Hey, check it out! It's my interview with Kimberly Sabatini, author of Touching the Surface, one of the many titles I'm dying for! Except this time, it's opposite. Miss Sabatini interviewed me! Check out my Baby Blogger Interview! And don't forget to check out her book! It sounds absolutely AMAZING.

Touching the SurfaceLife altering mistakes are meant to alter lives…
When Elliot dies for the third time, she knows this is her last shot. There are no fourth-timers in this afterlife, so one more chance is all she has to get things right. But before she can move on to her next life, Elliot will be forced to face her past and delve into the painful memories she’d rather keep buried. Memories of people she’s hurt, people she’s betrayed…and people she’s killed.
As she pieces together the mistakes of her past, Elliot must earn the forgiveness of her best friend and reveal the truth about herself to the two boys she loves…even if it means losing them both forever.




Does that, or does that not sound absolutely amazing?

Cover Reveal for Asunder: Incarnate #2

So I lied-there will be a few posts, no reviews though. Anyways, the cover and title of Incarnate #2 (bu Jodi Meadows) has been released! And it is BEAUTIFUL. However, even though Incarnate's cover was beautiful as well, I didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped so I won't be reading this though I may print out the cover and hang it up! For an insanely short review: It had beautiful writing and a great plot but I didn't exactly love the characters and their always a big part of how I look at books. I'd still definitely recommend it to anyone who loves stories about finding who you're meant to be with SO MUCH ROMANCE.



Beautiful, no? And from Jodi Meadow's blog post, here are a few questions she's answered beforehand. (Her original post can be foundhere.)


1. What does “asunder” mean?
From Dictionary.com
Adjective:
1. into separate parts; in or into pieces: Lightning split the old oak tree asunder.
2. apart or widely separated: as wide asunder as the polar regions.
2. That’s not a very comforting definition. Should I be worried?
Always.

3. Is that the same model from the INCARNATE cover?
Yes! When the photo shoot for the INCARNATE cover happened, they took enough photos for all three books. The same model will be on the cover of Incarnate 3 (aka Ana Notitle), as well.

4. Rose petals! Are rose petals important in ASUNDER, like the butterfly was in INCARNATE?
Yes!

5. She’s wearing a mask! Will there be another masquerade?
No. No masquerade in ASUNDER. (I told you in INCARNATE that they’re rare.) The rose mask is more metaphorical. You might have noticed that Ana has a tendency to compare herself to things. She hasn’t given that up.

6. So, the rose petals have a purple-blue tint to them. Does that mean–
Yes. That means a certain someone shows up.
(Confused? (Re)Read the first chapter of INCARNATE.)

7. Are the roses purple or blue?
*shrug* What do you think?

8. What else can you tell us about the cover?
The mood, the model’s expression, the rose petals breaking off her mask — those are all important. One of the things that most impresses me about the KT Books art department is how well they capture the essence of my books. While the INCARNATE cover was light and innocent, the ASUNDER cover reflects the slightly darker tone of the second book, and Ana’s growing fierceness.

9. Did you know they were going to use roses for the ASUNDER cover?
Yep. Before the photo shoot, I told my editor the symbols for each book, so the photographer and art department were able to work together to take photos that would complement those symbols. Like the butterfly, the roses have been the plan from the beginning.

10. So you knew all the symbols in advance. That means you know what’s going to be on IN3′s cover! Will you tell us?
Hahahahahahahaha. It’s cute that you think I would tell you. I like you so much. But no. I’m not going to tell you. Feel free to guess, though!

11. When is the release date?
I don’t know. Probably Jan/Feb 2013, but I don’t have a firm date yet.

Did that answer anything? Happy reading, Fiction Freaks!

Showcase Sunday

OK, not really. I'm going to have to take a small week break from blogging which I know, is completely stupid, but with all this work and final exams coming up, I can't be addicted to reading and reviewing, which means blogging. I'm so desperately sorry! I promise some reviews on awesome books are coming up though! Happy Reading, Fiction Freaks!
