BUSY BUSY AUGUST!!!

So as most of you know August is here...summer is almost over and WE ARE SO BUSY!!! There are so many things going on that Darra and I don't know if we are coming of going...ridiculous but wouldn't want it any other way. There are SO many GREAT books coming out this month!!!

So lets get started...if you have seen our FB posts we were ALL about Daemon and Katy last week with LUX series READATHON. Thanks again to the blogs that put that on (go follow them if you are not already) Stuck In Books, Just A Booklover and K-Books!!  We had a blast and it was almost like reading it for the first time again b/c so many people had different thoughts/views and loved the same parts as you. (PS I will be stalking eveyone's blog that participated!)




Tomorrow night I will be at Wicked and can't wait (so I will not be reading). Thank you again to everyone in my office for the B-Day present! I am so excited. This will be the second play I have ever been to. If you remember (or don't I have a blog post about it) my first experience was SPANK! If that comes to your city go see it...I laughed until I cried!


We posted on the Adult Page a review for Taken by You on the Adult Page. If you have not seen it, go check it out. That series is FREAKING awesome and CRAZY! I liked it a lot more than I thought I would and I am seriously kinda hung up on Neil...YUMMY!  We also have 3 more reviews coming this week (told you BUSY!) Two are tomorrow and one on Friday so keep a look out!  We also have 4 or 5 more blog tours this month not to mention several cover reveals...so...again keep watching for new stuff!

One of our first blogs EVER was a reveiw of The Coincidence of Callie and Kayden by Jessica Sorensen. Just in case you don't remember (and I don't want to go back and look see what my blogs looked like from
back then) I will give you a recap...I LOVED the book. I could not wait for The Redemption of Callie and Kayden. I loved that Kayden had problems too. He came across as the super HOT, PERFECT football star.  So anyways...LOVE the book. Guess what came out July 30???? That's right...THE REDEMPTION OF CALLIE AND KAYDEN!!!  I can't tell you what I think b/c I will have a review up soonish...


The next book out this month that I am so READY to read is LOVE ME by Jillian Dodd! This is another series that I have done several posts on. If you have not read any of them WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!!??!!?? Get on it! Keatyn is a teenager and she has problems. A stalker and WAY too many boys to deal with. So basically her "perfect" life (like anyone has a perfect life but everyone thinks she does) is pulled out from under her and she has to survive by herself. So this is the 4th installment and I have been chomping at the bit to get my hands on this book! So this book comes out on August 11 and it will be a who is up at midnight with me to download ASAP.  If you have not gotten into this series Stalk Me is on sale on bn.com for $0.99. GO GET IT!  Yes, I know you are waiting...here is my plug for Jillian's other series! THAT BOY and THAT WEDDING are AWESOME!!! Phillip has been THE NUMBER 1 book boyfriend since that read and NOBODY has dethroned him yet!!! Danny is freaking awesome too and if I couldn't have Phillip I would DEFINITELY take Danny. (BTW Darra and I just had a good 5 minute trip down PHILLIP LANE with lots of *SIGHS*) I mean Jillian can definitely write some awesome boys. I mean lets look at Keatie's Boys...CUSH, AIDEN (The God of All Hotties), Dawson (YUMMY) and apparently a new bodyguard/soccer coach in this new book...so jealous...where were these boys when I was in high school??

LAST and certainly not least...ORIGIN by Jennifer L. Armentrout comes out August 27th!!!! CAN'T WAIT!!! So we did the Lux Readathon last weekend and all I can think about is getting my hands on this book. I will be out of comminsion for the day it will take me to read this book. I am going to try to drag it out for at least 2 days but lets be honest...not gonna happen! If you haven't read this series...do it. I put it off b/c I was like "Seriously Darra. Aliens? Come on!" As usual she was right...ALIENS!!!


I think that is all that is going on this month...OH WAIT!!! Just in case Darra and I were not busy enough we joined Fantasy Football today...SOOOOOOO...yeah...we are CRAZY! (I need help with my Team Name so if you have any ideas...I love the Colts and Peyton Manning....)  I am also sure more stuff will happen b/c SOMEONE agrees to blog tours without looking at the calendar and stickies!!!! (not naming names)

The Forever of Ella & Micha by Jessica Sorensen

Synopsis: 

Ella is back at school, trying to focus on her future and forget the darkness of her past. Still, her ongoing family drama is making it harder and harder to get through the days. All she really wants is Micha, but no way will she let her problems get in the way of his dreams.

Micha is busy touring the country with his band, seemingly getting everything he's ever wanted. But deep down he knows something is missing. Being away from Ella is harder than he expected. And while he longs to have her with him, he won't ask her to leave college just to be at his side.

When Ella and Micha are together, anything seems possible . . . but lately those shared moments aren't so easy to find. When a new tragedy shakes their already fragile world, one of them will make a dramatic choice that could break them apart forever . . .

Sunny's Review:

This is the next part of The Secret of Ella and Micha. I really like Micha. He is the a good guy and his whole life is focused on Ella. He is a little clingy but I like that he does go off to do his band thing. I like that he does not go out and do the whole slutty musician thing while he is dating Ella. Keep in mind that Ella has a lot of issues and you have to give her credit for trying to work through them. She may not go about it the right way but she also really wants Micha to have a great life. I also like that in the end Jessica Sorensen does not just say ok happily ever after. You can still see that Ella is not perfect and is still working through a lot of her issues.

I really recommend this series. I am not sure if I am going to read the 3rd book which is about Ethan and Lila. First, I don't really know if I like Lila enough to read anything from her POV. I am afraid she will just annoy me. I do want to know what the deal is with her family life...it seems very jacked up. I do like Ethan but I don't know if I want to go into their lives. I guess I will have to see. 

I would give The Forever of Ella and Micha 4 out of 5 stars. Now I am anxiously awaiting the release of The Redemption of Callie and Kayden in August. 

About the Author:

I’m the author of the Fallen Star Series, the Darkness Falls Series, the Death Collectors Series, and the New York Times and USA Today Best Seller, The Secret of Ella and Micha, a New Adult Contemporary novel.
I love writing and reading almost anything that is YA. Some of my favorite authors are Cassandra Clare, Sarah Dessen, Becca Fitzpatrick, Abbi Glines, Tammara Webber, Jamie McGuire and Jennifer L. Armentrout. I’m also an avid watcher of TV series The Vampire Diaries and of Modern Family.
I absolutely love music. When I’m writing, 9 out of 10 times I have music blaring in the background. My list of favorite songs could go on and on, since I have a very broad taste in music. But a few of my favorite bands are Chevelle, Rise Against, Alkaline Trio, Brand New, Death Cab for Cutie, Flight 409, Nirvana, and I’m going to stop there or else I’ll keep going on forever.
I don’t really have any favorite movies, but a few that I could watch over and over again are Anywhere but Here, Juno, Pride and Prejudice, The Hangover, and Bad Teacher.

What's Going On For The Rest Of MAY!!!

Ok...so a lot is going on for the end of May!!! I am very excited and nervous...

Nervous...

Stealing Harper by Molly McAdams is out tomorrow...Thank you to eveyone that pre-ordered (I was one of them too!) so it is coming out 2 weeks early!!! So here is my problem with this release...you may or may not remember awhile back when I could NOT get Chase Grayson out of my head. I fell head over heels for him and seriously if you read Taking Chances (like I told you to) then you know why I am FREAKING OUT over Stealing Harper. It is Chase's POV!!! OMG I can't even imagine how much more I am going love him!!!! I can also only imagine how upset I am going to be at the same time!!!!  Now my question is...do I wait until this weekend to read and have my emotional breakdown then or do I just forget the work week and read it ASAP and be an emotional, worthless wreck??? What do you think??? Can I make it until this weekend???  P.S. If you did not see this song from an earlier post...Molly McAdams thinks this would be a song from Chase to Harper...

Excited!!!

The Blessed Tragedy blog tour kicks off this week. Darra and I read this book so keep an eye out for our review later this week..did we both like it or did one of us hate it...hmmmm I don't know...maybe we both hated it...you have to tune in to see!!! 

Trophy Husband is being released this week so you need to go and get that!

Next week we have 2 tour stops...Forgiven and then See. Again, who knows what we thought!!! Do you think Darra and I finally 100% disagree on a book??? Maybe...maybe not.  

The Forever of Ella and Micha by Jessica Sorensen is being released next week!!! I have been waiting on this book for A LONG TIME!!! I love Jessica's books but I definitely hate the wait.  If you have not read The Secret of Ella and Micha then you need to do it. This story is about best friends that grew up next door to each other and something happens (you have to read it to know what!) so Ella takes off...the book is set 8 months later when Ella comes back to town for the summer. You have to love Micha...he is sweet and awesome...go get these books!!

Obsession by Jennifer L. Armentrout is also coming out next week!!! This book takes place in the Lux world but is a stand alone book. You don't have to read the Lux series to know what is going on and you don't have to read Obsession if you read the Lux books. Darra is the one that got me started on this author and she is AWESOME!!! I have not read a book yet by her that I do not like. I totally recommend you reading these books. My sister text me this weekend and was like "I can't believe I have to wait for the NEXT BOOK!!! How could she end it that way???" So if you have read the Lux series, Obsession is from the Arum POV. I am interested to see if it is going to make me like them or if I am going to continue to hate them b/c I love Daemon so much. 

I think that is all that is going on...next month looks to be another good one...just saying...be prepared!!!!
