Droolworthy Covers: Vampire Beach - Bloodlust by Alex Duval

Most people will get the two books in one version of this series (black cover with a rock on it). I love these covers though. They are so colourful and it seems a waste that they are wasted because the books were mass reproduced as double features. But on the other hand, who would want two books in one?

Guess who got her license!!!

 

I know this isnt blog related and i will post something about a book today BUT today i went for my driving test and guess what....I got them on the first try!!! Now i can officially drive by myself!!! Yeay! although after i heard the excess on the insurance premium i wont be going to crazy lol.

YEAY!!!

Covers: Are you as crazy as me?

I'm putting together my next order of books today at my online book seller. I want Remember Me? by Sophie Kinsella, because I love her. But the thing is there are three versions of her book and two covers, all different costs - because some are from America, others are from England, one is from here. So which cover would you choose out of these two.

 

1 < = > 2

Of course I instantly wanted No.1. It's $4 dearer than No.2...

I got it anyway....I couldn't say no to that cover!!!

Am I crazy?

Have you ever wanted a book with a certain cover so bad you've paid more, or taken the time to find a shop that will sell the cover you want?

Storywings has Facebook!

Yeay! Storywings just grew up a little bit and got it's own Facebook page!

My baby is growing up *sobs*

All the reviews and important updates will be posted on facebook as well, to help keep everyone updated. Yeay!

i will work on getting some linkage buttons for twitter, facebook, goodreads and shelfari if i can. if anyone would care to point me in the direction of some code for those kinds of buttons, it would be enormously appreciated! Save me heaps of time looking :)

A New Way Of Book Reviewing?

My friend at work sent me this today to give me a laugh because she knows I review books. I thought it might give you guys a laugh too.

 

 Students at a local school were assigned to read 2 books, 'Titanic' and 'My  Life' by Bill Clinton..


One student turned in the following book report,
With the proposition that they were nearly identical stories!

His cool professor gave him an A+ for this report.

Titanic:.... Cost - $29.99
Clinton   :..... Cost - $29.99

Titanic:...... Over 3 hours to read
Clinton   :..... Over 3 hours to read

Titanic:.... The story of Jack and Rose, their forbidden love, and subsequent catastrophe..
Clinton   :... The story of Bill and Monica, their forbidden love, and subsequent catastrophe.

Titanic:.... Jack is a starving artist.
Clinton   :..... Bill is a bullshit artist.

Titanic:..... In one scene, Jack enjoys a good cigar.
Clinton   :.... Ditto for Bill.

Titanic:..... During the ordeal, Rose's dress gets ruined.
Clinton   :..... Ditto for Monica.

Titanic:..... Jack teaches Rose to spit.
Clinton   :... Let's not go there.

Titanic:..... Rose gets to keep her jewelry.
Clinton   :.... Monica' s forced to return her gifts.

Titanic:...... Rose remembers Jack for the rest of her life.
Clinton   :......      Clinton   doesn't remember jack.

Titanic:..... Rose goes down on a vessel full of seamen.
Clinton   :...... Monica.. ooh, let's not go there, either.

Titanic:..... Jack surrenders to an icy death.
Clinton   :..... Bill goes home to Hillary - basically the same thing

Disclaimer: This is not my own work, I don't know where it originated. I don't mind Hillary Clinton.

Book Review: Fire Study by Maria V. Snyder

Review: Fire Study
Series: Study Trilogy – Book 3
Author: Maria V. Snyder
No. Of Pages: 441
Release Date: 1 December 2009

THE APPRENTICESHIP IS OVER – NOW THE REAL TEST HAS BEGUN

When word that Yelena is a Soulfinder – able to capture and release souls – spreads like wildfire, people grow uneasy. Already Yelena’s unusual abilities and past have set her apart. As the Council debates Yelena’s fate, she receives a disturbing message: a plot is rising against her homeland, led by a murderous sorcerer she has defeated before...

Honour sets Yelena on a path that will test the limits of her skills, and the hope of reuniting with her beloved spurs her onward. Her journey is fraught with allies, enemies, lovers and would-be assassins, each of questionable loyalty. Yelena will have but one chance to prove herself – and save the land she holds dear.

My Thoughts:

2010 Stand Alone Book Challenge - SAB Challenge

Ok so I've realised that I read waaay too many book series. Not that that is a bad thing by any means, but even books that i don't realise are part of series. So I'm starting a challenge to read Stand Alone Books. SAB for short...i dont know why you would need to shorten it but yeah SAB Challenge.

So my goal is that by the end of the year i will have read 25 stand alone books. For those that may want to join, in the future (if this year is a success) it will run for the whole year. So for this year, seeing as it's early, we can just add in our January books as well.

Levels:
SAB-erful - 5 books
SAB-erific - 15 books
SAB-tastic - 25 books

Rules:

• Well it's pretty simple, as long as it's stand alone it counts.
• Re-reads are accepted
• Books must be read in between 1/1/2010 and 31/12/2010

Have Fun!

Book Review: Going Too Far by Jennifer Echols

Review: Going Too Far
Author: Jennifer Echols
No. Of Pages: 245
Release Date: 17 March 2009

HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO?

All Meg has ever wanted is to get away. Away from high school. Away from her backwater town. Away from her parents who seem determined to keep her imprisoned in their dead-end lives. But one crazy evening involving a dare and forbidden railroad tracks, she goes way too far...and almost doesn’t make it back.

John made a choice to stay. To enforce the rules. To serve and protect. He has nothing but contempt for what he sees as childish rebellion, and he wants to teach Meg a lesson she won’t soon forget. But Meg pushes him to the limit by questioning everything he learned at the police academy. And when he pushes back, demanding to know why she won’t be tied down, they will drive each other to the edge – and over....

My Thoughts:


I absolutely LOVE this book!!!

This is by far the best book I have read in a long time. It is so unbelievably powerful.

We view the story from Meg’s point of view, she’s rebellious, she hates the rules and she does everything she can to break them. I can connect to Meg on so many levels that it’s almost scary because I have been there, and in some ways probably still am. Meg has issues yes and they are very real, explain a lot and create a powerful yet vulnerable character.

John doesn’t see it that way, he sees it as kids being reckless and breaking the rules for the sake of breaking the rules, and because of their own stupidity.

And so they are thrown together for a week’s ride doing Johns grave yard shift. John orchestrates it to teach Meg a lesson because he has his own lesson to teach from pain he has felt in the past. The banter that ensues is absolutely hilarious, Meg constantly questioning and John trying to be an intimidating cop.

We start to see changes in the way Meg thinks, and I love the occasional loathing of her blue hair. What once seemed a good idea, now just seems silly.

Meg grows so much during this book that it’s inspiring. John grows as well but as we are seeing his growth through Megs POV we don’t see it as dominantly as Meg’s.

The romance that buds between our main characters is beautiful. It isn’t rushed, and there is a lot of doubt and going out on limbs. I loved how Meg was attempting to convince herself that she was developing Stockholm syndrome instead of admitting that she was starting to crush on a police officer.

I also loved the fact that to get around Meg’s fear of commitment John would plan things without telling her and let her think that it was her idea. Of course she caught on after the fact, but it was still so beautiful to watch.

There aren’t enough words I can use to explain how much I love this book, how much I can connect with it. I still get butterflies when I think about Going Too Far, hell I’ve even got butterflies right now as I’m writing this, I will probably get them again when I post it and a million times after that when I see it on various pages it ends up on.

As soon as I finished it I had the urge to read it again, I still do now and I think it’s attempting to take up permanent residence on my bedside table just tempting me to pick it up and revisit the story of Meg and Johnafter.

I love this book so much and even if the idea of teen angst doesn’t appeal to you, I still implore you to pick it up because it is a story so touching, so moving and so unbelievably powerful that even a person who doesn’t cry often was brought to tears over.

Teaser Tuesdays - 16/2/2010

 

Currently Reading: The Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger

"It's a terrific bore"  

"I mean do you hate it? I know it's a terrific bore, but do you hate it, is what I mean."

"Well, I don't exactly hate it. You always have to -"

"Well, I hate it. Boy do I hate it,"

Teaser Tuesday is the brainchild of Should Be Reading

Book Review: Magic Study by Maria V. Snyder

Review: Magic Study

Series: Study Trilogy – Book 2

Author: Maria V. Snyder

No. Of Pages: 390

Release Date: 1 September 2009

YOU KNOW YOUR LIFE IS COMPLICATED WHEN YOU MISS YOUR DAYS AS A POISON TASTER...

With her greatest enemy dead, and on her way to be united with the family she’s been stolen from long ago, Yelena should be pleased. But although she has gained her freedom, she once again finds herself alone – separated from her lover Valek and suspected as a spy for her reluctance to conform to Sitian ways.

Despite the turmoil, she’s eager to start her magic training – especially as she’s been given one year to harness her power or be put to death. But her plans take a radical turn when she becomes embroiled in a plot to reclaim Ixia’s throne for a lost prince – and gets entangled in powerful rivalries with her fellow magicians.

If that wasn’t bad enough, it appears her brother would love to see her dead. Luckily, Yelena has some old friends to help her with her new enemies...

Release Date: 1 October 2009

 

Everyone’s life is governed by an internal code of conduct. Some call it morality. Others call it religion. But Bros in the know call this Holy Grail the Bro Code.

Historically a spoken tradition passed from one generation to the next, the official code of conduct for Bros appears here in its published form for the first time ever. By upholding the tenets of this sacred and legendary document, any dude can learn to achieve Bro-dom.

Praise for Barney Stinson – from the ladies

“Stinson sure knows how to use his pen.” – Lisa, shared a cab

“It’s a little rough in the beginning, but once you see all the magnificence packed inside, you won’t ever want to put it down.”  - Katie, Lost Tourist

“I’ll be honest – I was a little worried when I saw the length, but don’t worry – it’ll grow on you.” – Carolyn...Carol?, Met outside Yoga

CHOOSE: a QUICK DEATH OR A SLOW POISON...

On the eve of her execution for murder, Yelena Zaltana is offered an incredible reprieve – on the condition that she becomes the food taster for the military leader of Ixia, Commander Ambrose.
