What I'm Reading

Hey guys, today I started a new book titled Bitter Frost by Kailin Gow. I'm 3 chapters in and it's pretty good so far. Here's what it's about:

All her life, Breena had always dreamed about fairies as though she lived among them...beautiful fairies living among mortals and living in Feyland. In her dreams, he was always there the breathtakingly handsome but dangerous Winter Prince, Kian, who is her intended. When Breena turns sixteen, she begins seeing fairies and other creatures mortals don t see. Her best friend Logan, suddenly acts very protective. Then she sees Kian, who seems intent on finding her and carrying her off to Feyland. That's fine and all, but for the fact that humans rarely survive a trip to Feyland, a kiss from a fairy generally means death to the human unless that human has fairy blood in them or is very strong, and although Kian seemed to be her intended, he seems to hate her and wants her dead.

If this seems interesting to you then buy or borrow a copy and join me! Happy reading!

What Do You Like To Read?

Hey everyone!
If you could read any type of book what would you read? Do you like books about vampires, pixies, fairies, royalty? Do you like action & adventure, mystery, comedy?

What's your theme of choice when it comes to reading books?

What I'm Reading

I recently started a new book titled Need by Carrie Jones. It's pretty good so far. Here's the synopsis:

Zara collects phobias the way other high school girls collect lipsticks. Little wonder, since life’s been pretty rough so far. Her father left, her stepfather just died, and her mother’s pretty much checked out. Now Zara’s living with her grandmother in sleepy, cold Maine so that she stays “safe.” Zara doesn’t think she’s in danger; she thinks her mother can’t deal.
Wrong. Turns out that guy she sees everywhere, the one leaving trails of gold glitter, isn’t a figment of her imagination. He’s a pixie—and not the cute, lovable kind with wings. He’s the kind who has dreadful, uncontrollable needs. And he’s trailing Zara.


If you want to read along with me then feel free. I am reading a borrowed Kindle edition but you can get a physical copy or an ebook copy. If you read along please come to post your thoughts on the book.

Fresh Writes Spotlight: Tara Hudson

Born and raised in Oklahoma, Tara Hudson graduated with a degree in law, mostly because she believed all the horror stories about English majors and their careers in the food-service industry. Luckily, she soon remembered how much she loved telling ghost stories, particularly to her girlfriends who liked visiting abandoned cemeteries as much as she did. Tara currently lives in Oklahoma with her husband, son, and a menagerie of ill-behaved pets.

Hereafter Discription:

Drifting in the dark waters of a mysterious river, the only thing Amelia knows for sure is that she’s dead. With no recollection of her past life—or her actual death—she’s trapped alone in a nightmarish existence. All of this changes when she tries to rescue a boy, Joshua, from drowning in her river. As a ghost, she can do nothing but will him to live. Yet in an unforgettable moment of connection, she helps him survive.

Amelia and Joshua grow ever closer as they begin to uncover the strange circumstances of her death and the secrets of the dark river that held her captive for so long. But even while they struggle to keep their bond hidden from the living world, a frightening spirit named Eli is doing everything in his power to destroy their newfound happiness and drag Amelia back into the ghost world . . . forever.

Thrilling and evocative, with moments of pure pleasure, hereafter is a sensation you won’t want to miss.

Hereafter became available on June 7, 2011 so go out and get your copy! You can buy this book from Amazon for $11.49 (Kindle edition for $9.99), B&N for $11.37 (NookBook for $9.99) & Borders for $17.99
