Cover Love

I thought this would be a fun random post to share when I happen across a cover that captures my attention, as well as some of my favorite covers.

I love book covers and thought this would be a perfect way to share my love of them with others.

This is a random post so it could be multiple times a week or weeks in between it will be based on the book covers I encounter. 

I'm head over heels in love with the cover for this weeks book. It's stunning I love the mixing of the colors. I've added it to my wishlist and can't wait to get my hands on it. Even the synopsis is a captivating as the cover.

Synopsis

As a hybrid shapeshifter—half siren, half angel—Selene of the Kunu Clan is one of a kind. 

It’s a label that makes her the target of a rebel faction of supernatural creatures that seeks to claim her power. 

But her power is undeveloped and more a danger to herself than an aid. Yet her magic is her only advantage over the vicious vampires and fierce shifters who seek to eliminate her. 

Soon Selene is on the run in an unfamiliar world and unable to return to her ocean home. At least she’s not alone. Quinn, a shifter with his own secrets, has her back. Selene and Quinn must find a way to escape those that hunt them while surviving their unstable powers. But can Quinn help her stop vampires and shifters who’ve had centuries to master their abilities?

Wishlist Wednesday

Created by Pen to Paper

Each week we will share a book that has been recently added to our wishlist or has been on it for ages. A book I can't wait to add to my shelf. 
I've been working on my ebook wishlist. I have so many potential amazing books that I want to read. 

This one sounds amazing, my bestie and I have been watching Black Sails together so I'm kind of in a pirate kick. 

Princess of Death
by Cortney Pearson
Add to (Goodreads) Shelf 

Never trust a pirate.

The plague struck without warning. Now, to save her people, Cali must cross the mysterious, impenetrable boundary to reach a treacherous land of magic and find the cure.

When she arrives, she not only discovers that she looks eerily similar to its princess, but that war is brewing on the horizon. The pirate king has come to call in a debt, and the price he demands is an alliance between his son and the princess Soraya. Soraya refuses to give in to the pirate's whims and demands Cali meet him in her place.

Cali doesn't have time to court anyone, especially not a pirate—no matter how beautiful or brooding he is—but she accepts in order to ensure her stay at the palace long enough to save her dying people. But when she is captured, her only hope to find a cure may rest in the hands of the pirate she scorned.

If only she could trust him.

Prepare to abandon the world you know for one where moonlight uncovers magic and buccaneer greed steals more than just the sea. Scroll up and one-click this enchanting new fantasy from USA Today bestselling author Cortney Pearson today!

Waiting on Wednesday

Waiting on Wednesday 

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases we're eagerly anticipating. In my case not so patiently waiting for the new releases, which I lack.

I've had my eye on this one for a while it sounds amazing. I can't wait to get my hands on a copy. 

My Choice this week is


Supernatural Academy

by - Jaymin Eve 

Expected Publication - May 13th 2019

Add to (Goodreads)

Maddison James is about to discover some truths about the world.

Firstly … supernaturals exist. 

WTF?

Secondly … she is one, even though no one seems to know exactly what kind. 

Double WTF.

Thirdly … she’s about to go back to school. 

Well, things just got a little more interesting.

The Supernatural Academy is where shifters, vampires, magic users, and fey are educated. Where they are taught about their abilities, and how to function in the human world. Maddison already has the human part down, but this supernatural thing is an entirely new dangerous game.

Example one: mean girls who can actually turn you into a frog.

Example two: Asher Lock, a god at the Academy. Not literally … well, who knows for sure. He certainly acts the part, as do all of his minions who worship him.

Asher drives her crazy, because apparently snarly, gorgeous, and arrogant is her thing, and despite their mutual dislike, sparks fly between them. The more they’re thrown together, the more Asher is determined to figure out what’s been blocking her abilities.

Until the moment the truth is revealed, and they find out nothing in this supernatural world is what they thought.

Binge Watchers

Do you spend hours in front of the TV, maybe days? Did you ever want to chat with other Binge Watchers or ask people for suggestions or maybe just review the season you watched. Books, Movies, Reviews, Oh My! and Because Reading had the perfect idea, why not get all of us binge watchers together!!!

I've not been doing a lot of binge-watching recently. However, my bestie and I started a new show last night. We don't live near each other so we have to audio chat and stream them together. Of course, he was a minute ahead super spoiler but it was so much fun. 

We started The Umbrella Academy 
We are only a few in but with him working today I have to wait till this evening to watch some more. I like it so far and need to get my hands on the comic book but it's currently out of stock on Amazon. I may have hoped to read ahead while he was at work. 

Also watching

I've also started watching You which is this super creepy. I even got my buddy to watch it and he ended up binging the whole first season so I need to catch up. 

I'm always open to new suggestions 

Happy Saturday

I know it's been a while since I've posted anything. I've had a little bit of blogging burnout recently. It started the end of 2018 and I had all these bigs plans to change up the blog for the new year.

 I still have a great list of things I want to do, challenges, new content but I feel like the best way is to do it slowly without being overwhelmed. I had all these plans ready to go but things got crazy at the end of the year and I was just overwhelmed. 

So I'm back after a much-needed break. 

I hope you've all had a great few months.

I hope you've all stuck around while I dropped off the face of the earth.

On to new adventures!

Sky WIthout Stars

by - Jessica Brody & Joanne Rendell 

Expected Publication - May 25th 2019

Add to (Goodreads)

A thief. An officer. A guardian. 

Three strangers, one shared destiny . . .

When the Last Days came, the planet of Laterre promised hope. A new life for a wealthy French family and their descendants. But five hundred years later, it’s now a place where an extravagant elite class reigns supreme; where the clouds hide the stars and the poor starve in the streets; where a rebel group, long thought dead, is resurfacing.

Whispers of revolution have begun—a revolution that hinges on three unlikely heroes…

Chatine is a street-savvy thief who will do anything to escape the brutal Regime, including spy on Marcellus, the grandson of the most powerful man on the planet.

Marcellus is an officer—and the son of a renowned traitor. In training to take command of the military, Marcellus begins to doubt the government he’s vowed to serve when his father dies and leaves behind a cryptic message that only one person can read: a girl named Alouette.

Alouette is living in an underground refuge, where she guards and protects the last surviving library on the planet. But a shocking murder will bring Alouette to the surface for the first time in twelve years…and plunge Laterre into chaos.

All three have a role to play in a dangerous game of revolution—and together they will shape the future of a planet.

Power, romance, and destiny collide in this sweeping reimagining of Victor Hugo’s masterpiece, Les Misérables.

2019 Challenges

2019 Challenges & Goals 

Happy New Year! I love January 1st because I'm kind of a challenge addict and I love making lists. 

I didn't do as well as I would have hoped with my 2018 challenges but real life seemed to get in the way. I also had a case of burnout on reading, blogging and even posting on Instagram. I've decided to pick a bunch of challenges that I will enjoy and will keep things enjoyable.

My reading goal is 250 books. I didn't hit my goal last year but I'm sure this year I will be able to exceed my goal.
