Dusty Bookshelf

I have a 1-click addiction far more than I will ever read in this lifetime. I'm going to need a fountain of youth solution before it's to late or I will never get to read all the books. I guess I'll settle for being bit by a vampire at least immortality won't be wasted on me. 

This week I picked one that I was eager to read long before it came out even picking it up on kindle the day it came out. Sadly it was lost within my 1-click addiction, for a while but now it's a trio. I'm currently working my way through them starting with the first and in love. This is actually my first book by both authors and I'm hooked. 

The Girl Who Cried Werewolf 

by Heather Hildenbrand & Bam Shepherd 

(Goodreads)(Amazon)

Synopsis 

Book Boyfriends are real. Pass it on.

Professional book blogger Romy Cartelli may have cried werewolf once or twice. Hell, she’s even cried vampire, warlock, and dragon their fair share of times—because, as every dedicated reader knows, one book boyfriend is never enough.

And her followers love it…until they don’t.

Sure, Romy is being stalked by a sexy werewolf, but she’s got bigger issues to deal with. Like the fact that he might be a murderer. Or worse yet, that she got drunk and told all of her followers that werewolves actually exist. Then she fails to prove it.

Cue the trolling and the haters.

Now Romy’s out to prove she’s not crazy and win back her followers. But as she sets out to clear her name, she’ll discover there are bigger dangers awaiting her than internet infamy.

"The Girl Who Cried Werewolf is tantalizing paranormal romance escapism. With an alpha werewolf who oozes sexy-shmexy vibes, an intriguing murder mystery, and three college besties who have each other’s backs, HILDENBRAND and SHEPHERD have created a binge-worthy debut that will hold you captive while you snicker and swoon through the pages. Territorial shifters, fated mates, plenty of hashtags, and midnight kisses? Oh yes! Bring it on! Fans of Jaymin Eve, Ivy Asher, KF Breene, Linsey Hall, and Bella Forest will love this dynamic duo! - Raye Wagner, USA Today Bestselling Author of Young Adult Fantasy.

#Dust Off Your Bookshelf Thursday

Dust off your Bookshelf was originally created to share books that have been on my “to read pile” for a long time. Some so long I’ve forgotten that they are there, and have purchased duplicate copies. Each week I will share on my blog as well as Instagram a new title. Some may be newer and some so old I have forgotten they are there. I do have issues with buying books and never reading them. I’m hoping that by share them I will be motivated to read them. Plus it’s always fun to find new books hiding within the bookshelves. Feel free to join in and share on Instagram or your blog. Just let me know so I can check out your choice this week too.

New Year all new books to read on my dusty shelf. I have a slight one-click problem which keeps my shelves full of dusty books. This year I hope to read more of them. 

This week I decided to share a book that has been on my shelf since it came out in 2011. I haven't read it in that long and I'm due for a re-read. 

My book choice this week: 

Beautiful Disaster  
by Jamie McGuire 
Add to (Goodreads)

Opening Lines
Everything in the room screamed I didn't belong.

Teaser 
"Why on earth would you want me to stay with you, anyway?" I asked.
Travis shrugged, shoving his hand in his pockets. "I don't know. Everything's better when you're around." 

Synopsis

The new Abby Abernathy is a good girl. She doesn’t drink or swear, and she has the appropriate number of cardigans in her wardrobe. Abby believes she has enough distance from the darkness of her past, but when she arrives at college with her best friend, her path to a new beginning is quickly challenged by Eastern University's Walking One-Night Stand. 

Travis Maddox, lean, cut, and covered in tattoos, is exactly what Abby needs—and wants—to avoid. He spends his nights winning money in a floating fight ring, and his days as the ultimate college campus charmer. Intrigued by Abby’s resistance to his appeal, Travis tricks her into his daily life with a simple bet. If he loses, he must remain abstinent for a month. If Abby loses, she must live in Travis’s apartment for the same amount of time. Either way, Travis has no idea that he has met his match.

I read this one back in high school when it was new. Christopher Pike was one of my favorite horror writers when I was a teenager. I have most of his book in one form or another on my shelf and figured it would be fun to dust one of my favorites from the 90's. Decided that I might have Fall right into it today. I've baked some yummy cinnamon apple sourdough and have hot coffee. 

My book choice this week: 

Fall Into Darkness 
by Christopher Pike 
Add to (Goodreads)

Opening Lines
The trial was for murder. Sharon McKay stands accused. She was supposed to have killed a girl named Ann Rice.  

Synopsis

The trial is for murder. Ann Rice is dead. Her best friend, Sharon McKay, stands accused. But there is no body. And the three witnesses to the crime only heard what happened, and did not see it. Nevertheless, the prosecution is almost certain of victory. Ann was alone in the dark with Sharon on top of the cliff when Ann fell the 500 feet into the torrential river that claimed her life. There was only one route leading to the cliff, and all the witnesses can remember hearing the girls arguing before the fall occurred. Sharon's only defense is that Ann committed suicide. But everyone who knew Ann, including Sharon, said she was not the suicidal type.

And they were right.

Ann was much more than suicidal.

She was obsessed.

I have a book buying addiction and sadly some end up on the shelves forgotten. This gives me a chance to look back and share a book that hasn't been read yet. 

My book choice this week has been on my kindle for a while. 

Phoenix 
by Autumn Reed

I can't live like this anymore. I repeated the mantra in my head over and over as my feet pounded against the earth. 

Synopsis

The Stardust Series follows the story of Haley Jones and six dangerously appealing guys—Liam, Knox, Ethan, Chase, Theo, and Jackson. 

All Haley Jones wants for her eighteenth birthday is answers. Thanks to an overprotective dad and a secluded existence in the Sierra Nevada wilderness, Haley has never experienced a typical life. Her dad claims there’s a good reason for their isolation, but he refuses to tell her why, delaying her questions with the promise of answers when she turns eighteen. That day has finally arrived, but the explanation raises more questions than answers. And when Haley wishes for the chance to explore the world, she finds that the old adage rings true—be careful what you wish for.

New Year all new books to read on my dusty shelf. I have a slight one-click problem which keeps my shelves full of dusty books. This year I hope to read more of them. 

I picked a book off my dusty shelf that I've been hoping to read for ages. I've been reading it this week and I really enjoy it. 

My book choice this week: 

The Glittering Court 
by Richelle Mead 
Add to (Goodreads)

Opening Lines
I'd never planned on stealing someones else's life. 

Synopsis

Big and sweeping, spanning from the refined palaces of Osfrid to the gold dust and untamed forests of Adoria, The Glittering Court tells the story of Adelaide, an Osfridian countess who poses as her servant to escape an arranged marriage and start a new life in Adoria, the New World. But to do that, she must join the Glittering Court.

Both a school and a business venture, the Glittering Court is designed to transform impoverished girls into upper-class ladies who appear destined for powerful and wealthy marriages in the New World. Adelaide naturally excels in her training, and even makes a few friends: the fiery former laundress Tamsin and the beautiful Sirminican refugee Mira. She manages to keep her true identity hidden from all but one: the intriguing Cedric Thorn, son of the wealthy proprietor of the Glittering Court.

When Adelaide discovers that Cedric is hiding a dangerous secret of his own, together they hatch a scheme to make the best of Adelaide’s deception. Complications soon arise—first as they cross the treacherous seas from Osfrid to Adoria, and then when Adelaide catches the attention of a powerful governor.

But no complication will prove quite as daunting as the potent attraction simmering between Adelaide and Cedric. An attraction that, if acted on, would scandalize the Glittering Court and make them both outcasts in wild, vastly uncharted lands…

This weekly makes me feel like a hoarder when it comes to books because deep down I really am. I have so many books that I keep adding to my shelves but they never end up getting read. I keep saying one day they will all be read. 

I'm always adding books to my wishlist and my kindle has a endless list of books to read. I find that I haven't been reading as many as I would like. I picked a book that has been on my kindle for ages but I haven't found the time to get to it yet. I hope to in the near future it's on my TBR list. 

My book choice this week: 

Moon Kissed 
by Jennifer Snyder 
Add to (Goodreads)

Opening Lines
The flickering letters in the sign hung above Eddie's bar pulsed with my heartbeat. 

Synopsis

Something sinister lurks in the Mirror Lake woods…

Life is different for those living in the Mirror Lake Trailer Park, especially where Mina Ryan is concerned. She’s been waiting years for her werewolf gene to trigger, and the clock is ticking. If she isn’t Moon Kissed soon, Mina runs the risk of becoming an outsider to more than just the townspeople of Mirror Lake. Unless her werewolf gene triggers in the coming months, Mina will become an outsider within her pack as well.

It’s almost an unthinkable fate, one Mina finds herself needing to be distracted from. And who better to distract her than Alec Thomas, a charming Southern cutie…who happens to be human? Alec isn’t the only one who’s captured her attention, though. The handsome Alpha’s son, Eli Vargas, has his eye on her as well, much to the pack’s approval.

Bigger issues for Mina arise when she learns one of her pack members has gone missing and that she might know something about their disappearance. There’s only one person Mina can turn to for help. Too bad she has a hard time trusting herself when she’s around him…

As the mystery grows while two men vie for Mina’s attention and the next full moon looms closer, it’s all Mina can do to keep her head and heart in check.

Book One in the anticipated Mirror Lake Wolves Series.

My book choice this week: 
Nescessary Magic 
by Val St. Crowe
Add to (Goodreads)

Opening Lines
"Come on guys, it's not funny anymore," said Zoe Patterson in a weak voice. She'd been following the light in the woods ahead of her for what seemed like a very long time. Now, she was deep out in the wild woods, and there was nothing around her on any side but tall tree trunks and dark shadows of foliage. 

Synopsis

Seventeen years ago, the human realm collided with a magic world. Now, humans skulk in the shadows of the witches and their werewolf servants—who control the magic of the Hallows—and the opposing faction of the unicorns—who are potent beasts, fierce and terrifyingly beautiful. 

When scavenger and thief Bree West is captured and handed over to a herd of unicorns, her only thought is escape. But the creatures are both terrible and ethereal, and being with them is a sweet ache. She begins to feel as though she is meant to be here. Her presence makes the unicorns stronger, and they are the only ones on earth strong enough to stand against the cruel and brutal witches. Perhaps being with the unicorns is the first step to bringing freedom to the new world. 

Werewolf Jack Bastian serves as the witches’ weapon because he has no choice. Rakish and aloof, Jack has been having dreams about a girl and unicorns. He always wakes with a pang, sure the dreams mean something, but he can’t afford to let those feelings affect him. Jack survives by obeying his commands and not giving a damn who he hurts. 

When the high witch learns of Bree and her unicorns, she demands that Jack destroy her. He cannot disobey. 

Even if Bree is the girl from the dreams.

Happy Thursday!!! It's a cloudy but beautiful day here in Cloudy California. We've been in blistering triple digits and I'm enjoying the overcast hoping we get a rain storm. 

This week I picked a book that has been on my kindle far to long. I've been meaning to get to it but hasn't happened yet. I've heard so many good things about this series and I really need to get on it. 

Written In Red 
by Anne Bishop

Add to (Goodreads)

Synopsis

No one creates realms like New York Times bestselling author Anne Bishop. Now in a thrilling new fantasy series, enter a world inhabited by the Others, unearthly entities—vampires and shape-shifters among them—who rule the Earth and whose prey are humans. 

As a cassandra sangue, or blood prophet, Meg Corbyn can see the future when her skin is cut—a gift that feels more like a curse. Meg’s Controller keeps her enslaved so he can have full access to her visions. But when she escapes, the only safe place Meg can hide is at the Lakeside Courtyard—a business district operated by the Others. 

Shape-shifter Simon Wolfgard is reluctant to hire the stranger who inquires about the Human Liaison job. First, he senses she’s keeping a secret, and second, she doesn’t smell like human prey. Yet a stronger instinct propels him to give Meg the job. And when he learns the truth about Meg and that she’s wanted by the government, he’ll have to decide if she’s worth the fight between humans and the Others that will surely follow.

I'm adding a twist this year to #dustOffYourBookshelf Thursdays
I'm challenging myself to read each book I feature on this weekly. 
My goal is to read 52 books off my dusty shelf.
I've been totally slacking at this post and I think it's because I turned it into a challenge which isn't what I intended. So back into books that have been on my TBR for extended periods. I hope to read 52 before the end of the year but no promises. It needs to be fun. 

This week's book has been on my kindle for years. I keep saying one day but it hasn't happened yet. I think it's time to check it out. 


Tempest Rising 
by Nicole Peeler 
Add to (Goodreads)

Synopsis

Living in small town Rockabill, Maine, Jane True always knew she didn't quite fit in with so-called normal society. During her nightly, clandestine swim in the freezing winter ocean, a grisly find leads Jane to startling revelations about her heritage: she is only half-human. 

Now, Jane must enter a world filled with supernatural creatures alternatively terrifying, beautiful, and deadly- all of which perfectly describe her new "friend," Ryu, a gorgeous and powerful vampire. 

It is a world where nothing can be taken for granted: a dog can heal with a lick; spirits bag your groceries; and whatever you do, never-ever-rub the genie's lamp.

The Sea Witch 
by S.J. Valfroy 

Add to (Goodreads)

Synopsis

Have you ever wondered why villains are what they are? Is a villainous heart instilled at birth, or do decisions and actions warp a good heart into a villainous one?  
You have certainly already heard of the Sea Witch, but do you know her real story? 

Though she works as a palace maid, Serena is no ordinary mermaid. From birth she manifested the magical powers of a sea witch, just like her mother, Moira. But Serena does not want to be like her mother, cruel and selfish, so she rejects her magical powers. At least until her ever growing love for the unattainable Prince Triton pushes her to her breaking point. Just when it seems he’s taken notice, that she could actually win his heart, his mother, Queen Amphitrite, makes it clear her son will never marry a palace maid, much less the daughter of a sea witch with a seedy reputation. Serena’s dreams are slipping through her fingers, and she must decide if she is willing to embrace her magical powers and take her dreams by force. Magic could solve all her problems, or so she thinks, but at what price?
