New Covers Round-Up (1)

So, I'm introducing a new feature on the blog! It's a simple feature that shows YOU GUYS new book covers that have caught my eye in the last month hand a half (not all of them are there, only the ones I wanted to show you guys)! Warning : there are MANY!




I am a big Lisa McMann fan! I have read almost all of her books, and this won't be an exception! Super cool eye!













This cover is so awesome-pants! And it's super creepy, which I LOVE when it comes to covers! It has had a bit of a buzz when the cover got release; I saw it on numerous Waiting on Wednesdays!









Stunning cover! I just came across it!












I am a big fan of ELIZABETH EULBERG's Prom & Prejudice! This cover is so cool! Simple, funny, and yet it fits the title!












Wow! Looks like sci-fi to me, right? I love the blue and green together!













Pretty, right? And such an awesome contrast!

WHY?!?!?!? It's the THIRD time they change the covers! EVIIIIL!







It has SO MANY of my favorite authors! EEEP! I am super freaking excited! *squeeeee!*















Simply loved the first book and can't wait for this one! And, I LOVE BLUE!













I haven't read or bought Cinder yet :( BUT I WANT TO! *sigh*











OMG! The twitter thing was so cool! I lost about 20 followers, but it was a sacrifice to make! So pretty, and I love this series so much! I like it better than the Mortal Instruments!












Really pretty, and I love the girl's hair!

WWW(W) Wednesday (16)

 


Alright, so I decided to mix one of my favorite memes (Waiting on Wednesday) and a new and cool-looking meme called WWW Wednesday. It's basically three questions(always the same), but I'll be adding mine : what are you waiting for? So, 
let's get on with it! 


What did you recently finish?

Cold Fury  And it was great! So action packed, too!

What are you currently reading?

Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass, #1) And it's really good for now!

What do you think you'll be reading next?

Confessions of an Angry Girl by Louise Rozett Got that from NetGalley *gasps* I know! I never get books from them, but this sounded too good too pass up!

Added question: What are you waiting for? 

Heaven (Halo, #3) Can't wait to see the ending!!!!

Spark : Book Review


Spark (Sky Chasers, #2)
     
                                                Click for the Summary!

Title : Spark
Series :  Sky Chasers 1

Pages : 309
Release Date :  July 17th 2012
Publisher : St. Martin's Griffin / Raincoast Books
Format : ARC

*Thanks to Raincoast Books for the review copy*







My Opinion :


If only Spark had been as good as Glow was for me... alas, it wasn't.

Glow was a really great book, but its sequel had the Stupid Sequel Syndrome (why, oh why!!!!!!!!!). Spark was only about Kieran being an ass and Waverly turning into a cold-blooded bitch (well, she wasn't always... but she was a bitch sometimes)

In Spark, the only thing happening is a kind of fight between Kieran and Waverly. It's kind of a political tirade going on for the entire book. But, of course, there's this kind of terrorist on board... so I guess the book is not too bad... but I just didn't like it!

The writing was way more fast-paced than what I would have liked it to be, but I think it was the best aspect of the book.

As you may know, I hate hating a book, and I hate giving it as bad rating, because I feel sometimes like it's my fault that I didn't like it. But, in this case... I think it was the book. Not me.

I didn't exactly hate Spark... but I strongly disliked it.

Kieran was... oh god. I don't think I have strongly hated someone this much in a book. EVER. I think that's what the author was going for.

But, Miss(es) Ryan also made me dislike Waverly A LOT.

*sarcastic* Otherwise, great book! Not.

Author Bio : 



Amy Kathleen RyanAfter I finished my studies, I decided to try writing something different from Shadow Falls. I wanted to try writing something more lighthearted and funny, but that still had some substance to it. This is how Vibes was born. I had heard of that elusive creature, the book that wrote itself, but I had not experienced it before Vibes. Kristi was such a strong character, with such a strong voice, that the story just poured out of me. In four months, I had finished it. After one or two quick revisions, I sent it to my agent, who quickly found a very enthusiastic publisher for it.
Now I write full time in my house in Colorado, where I live with my cute fluffy dog and my cute unfluffy husband. Being a full time writer is a dream come true.
