COVER REVEAL: Opal (Lux #3) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

As you are all well aware by now, I am totally obsessed with everything Jennifer writes. With that being said, of course I jumped at the chance to be a part of the cover reveal for OPAL, the third book in the Lux series. It is scheduled to be released on December 11, 2012. How amazing is that? Only four months to wait between Onyx and Opal! And now.. the cover you have been waiting for....

REVIEW: "Deity" by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Book Synopsis (from Goodreads.com):
"History is on repeat, and things didn't go so well the last time."

Alexandria isn't sure she's going to make it to her eighteenth birthday--to her Awakening. A long-forgotten, fanatical order is out to kill her, and if the Council ever discovers what she did in the Catskills, she's a goner... and so is Aiden.

If that's not freaky enough, whenever Alex and Seth spend time "training"--which really is just Seth's code word for some up-close and personal one-on-one time--she ends up with another mark of the Apollyon, which brings her one step closer to Awakening ahead of schedule. Awesome.

But as her birthday draws near, her entire world shatters with a startling revelation and she's caught between love and Fate. One will do anything to protect her. One has been lying to her since the beginning. Once the gods have revealed themselves, unleashing their wrath, lives will be irrevocably changed... and destroyed.

Those left standing will discover if love is truly greater than Fate...

Jennifer L Armentrout Summer Blog Tour

Hey everyone! *waves*

I'd like to thank the lovely Kayleigh over at K-Books for hosting this awesome tour.

I should have written this post weeks ago but I haven't really been up to it. So here we go!

I am truly obsessed with Jennifer's books, there is no other way to describe it. I am head over heels in love with her writing. You can't help but adore the characters she creates and the worlds she introduces us to. I am currently reading Onyx (What took me so long, right? Unfortunately being unemployed also leaves me broke so books only get purchased when my family is sick of hearing I have no books to read!) As soon as my Nook is charged up again, I am going to finish it. I'm VERY glad that Opal comes out in December because I don't think I could wait much longer.

A couple of months ago I received some wonderful ARCs from the lovely Kate over at Spencer Hill Press. She sent me a copy of Cursed and Deity and then a few days later I received a lone copy of Deity which I had won on her blog. You know what that means, right? GIVEAWAY time!! 

If you would like to receive an ARC of Deity all you have to do is post a comment below and tell me who your favorite character is in any of JLA's books. If you haven't read any of her books (shame on you), tell me which book you would like to read. I will choose a winner with the help of Random.org on October 1st. US only due to shipping costs, sorry international followers.Please note: I will be attending a signing on November 6th, if the winner wants to wait, I will gladly get your copy of Deity signed!!

You can check out my spoiler-free review of Deity here. 

I didn't include it because sometimes people are tempted to read even if they don't want to.

Recovery Update

Hi my wonderful blog followers!! I just wanted to stop by now that I am finally on my computer and give you all a little update. I had my surgery on July 5th and was in the hospital until the 9th. I went back in on the 15th until the 17th because of complications.

I haven't been on the computer for a few reasons. The main one is that keeping my laptop on my lap is difficult since it would be on my incision. The second is that it pretty much refuses to stay charged and the charger has to sit a certain way for it to work.

I've only read a couple of books since my surgery but I really want to get back to reviewing. I am on a couple of blog tours in the upcoming months but I hope to have some reviews up before then. Sorry for being gone for so long but my health has to come first. I love reading and I love reviewing but sadly that has to be on the back burner. I really appreciate you all sticking around and I promise to be back soon. One of the blog tours I am on is a Jennifer L Armentrout fan tour and guess what? There will be a giveaway for one of my ARC copies of DEITY which isn't out until November 6th! Be on the lookout for that!


To authors/publishers/etc. As of right now I am not accepting any self-published books unless I have already spoken with you or read one of your books previously. I just haven't been reading enough to keep up with the amount of requests I have for self-pubbed books. I hope you understand. Thanks so much!
