Summary:
Diagnosed with Stage IV thyroid cancer at 12, Hazel was prepared to die until, at 14, a medical miracle shrunk the tumours in her lungs... for now.

Two years post-miracle, sixteen-year-old Hazel is post-everything else, too post-high school, post-friends and post-normalcy. And even though she could live for a long time (whatever that means), Hazel lives tethered to an oxygen tank, the tumours tenuously kept at bay with a constant chemical assault.

Enter Augustus Waters. A match made at cancer kid support group, Augustus is gorgeous, in remission, and shockingly to her, interested in Hazel. Being with Augustus is both an unexpected destination and a long-needed journey, pushing Hazel to re-examine how sickness and health, life and death, will define her and the legacy that everyone leaves behind.

Summary:
Godspeed was fueled by lies. Now it is ruled by chaos. It's been three months since Amy was unplugged. The life she always knew is over. And everywhere she looks, she sees the walls of the spaceship Godspeed. But there may just be hope: Elder has assumed leadership of the ship. He's finally free to enact his vision - no more Phydus, no more lies.
But when Elder discovers shocking news about the ship, he and Amy race to discover the truth behind life on Godspeed. They must work together to unlock a puzzle that was set in motion hundreds of years earlier, unable to fight the romance that's growing between them and the chaos that threatens to tear them apart.
In book two of the Across the Universe trilogy, New York Times bestselling author Beth Revis mesmerizes us again with a brilliantly crafted mystery filled with action, suspense, romance, and deep philosophical questions. And this time it all builds to one mind-bending conclusion: They have to get off this ship.

Summary:
It’s one thing to find out you’re a vampire princess. It’s a whole other thing to actually rule. Newly married Jessica Packwood is having a hard enough time feeling regal with her husband, Lucius, at her side. But when evidence in the murder of a powerful elder points to Lucius, sending him into solitary confinement, Jessica is suddenly on her own. Determined to clear her husband’s name, Jessica launches into a full-scale investigation, but hallucinations and nightmares of betrayal keep getting in her way. Jessica knows that with no blood to drink, Lucius’s time is running out. Can she figure out who the real killer is—and whom she can trust—before it’s too late?
I want them all! I haven't read Across the Universe yet, but it's on my TBR list for this year.

Happy Book Birthday Crescendo and Nightshade!

Nora should have known her life was far from perfect. Despite starting a relationship with her guardian angel, Patch (who, title aside, can be described as anything but angelic), and surviving an attempt on her life, things are not looking up. Patch is starting to pull away, and Nora can't figure out if it's for her best interest or if his interest has shifted to her arch-enemy Marcie Millar. Not to mention that Nora is haunted by images of her father and she becomes obsessed with finding out what really happened to him that night he left for Portland and never came home.

The farther Nora delves into the mystery of her father's death, the more she comes to question if her Nephilim blood line has something to do with it as well as why she seems to be in danger more than the average girl. Since Patch isn't answering her questions and seems to be standing in her way, she has to start finding the answers on her own. Relying too heavily on the fact that she has a guardian angel puts Nora at risk again and again. But can she really count on Patch, or is he hiding secrets darker than she can even imagine?
 
Calla Tor has always known her destiny: After graduating from the Mountain School, she'll be the mate of sexy alpha wolf Ren Laroche and fight with him, side by side, ruling their pack and guarding sacred sites for the Keepers. But when she violates her masters' laws by saving a beautiful human boy out for a hike, Calla begins to question her fate, her existence, and the very essence of the world she has known. By following her heart, she might lose everything--including her own life. Is forbidden love worth the ultimate sacrifice?

(both summaries from Goodreads)


I cannot wait to read these! Hush, Hush is one of my favourite reads ever, and Nightshade is getting great reviews, everyone is loving it!
Happy birthdays, dears!

Both books are released today.

Happy Birthday Pretty Book! #7 (Aussie Month Post)


Today is the launch of:
f2m: the boy within
by authors Hazel Edwards and Ryan Kennedy.

CONGRATULATIONS GUYS!

*throws confeti at readers*

This is Hazel's 100th book (well, not 100th, but pretty close)
and Ryan's first!
What an accomplishment.
I'm sure Ryan must be jumping up and down with joy ^-^


If you haven't read my interview with these two, go here.

I'm leaving you with this awesome trailer:


f2m is the first YA book to touch such a subject,
one that many people avoid,
so kudos so Hazel and Ryan for writing it!

Happy Birthday Pretty Book! #6


The Mark, by Jen Nadol hits the shelves today!

Summary:
Sixteen-year old Cassie Renfield has seen the mark since forever: a glow around certain people as if a candle were held behind their back.

The one time she pointed it out taught her not to do it again, so Cassie has kept quiet, considering its rare appearances odd, but insignificant. Until the day she watches a man die. Mining her memories, Cassie realizes she can see a person's imminent death. Not how or where, only when: today.

Cassie searches her past, her philosophy lessons, even her new boyfriend for answers, always careful to hide her secret. How does the mark work? Why her?

Most importantly, if you know today is someone's last, should you tell?

I won this book from The Book Resort, so I'll be reading it soon.
Can't wait!

Congrats Jen on your book release!

Happy Birthday Pretty Book! #3 (and what's happening @ TCM for the next 10 days)


Here at last!
The book that everyone's been talking about!

And that sadly I've yet to read...

HUSH, HUSH is released TODAY!!!

WooHoo!!!
Please let's give a round of applause to everyone who's made this possible!

A big Congratulations to Becca Fitzpatrick!


(From the Interview I had with Becca @ TCM):

We’re very close to the release date of Hush, Hush. Are you excited?
I'm nervous! I think there's quite a bit of excitement beneath all
the layers of nervous anticipation, but the questions foremost on my mind are: Will people like the book? Will they want to read more?
Will I be able to make a career out of writing, or will this book kill
the idea on the spot? There are so many unknowns! But after all
that, yes, I'm incredibly excited!


Becca, from what I've read, people are already craving for more!
Congratulations one more time!
-------------------------------

So, as of today I'm not going to be here,
but I didn't want to leave my blog unattended , therefore,
I've asked some friends to help me keep TCM alive these next few days
while I'm going to a super-fun-and-seekrit place on this corner of the world.

We'll be having really fun stuff here,
stuff you won't want to miss!

I won't have time to read as much while I'm gone,
nor will I be able to watch The Vampire Diaries & Glee
*sobs--> especially after that HUGE cliffhanger in VD!
arghhhh!!!*

I'll try not to buy any book, but I seriously doubt that.
I really can't spend much money, only a bit of what my parents will give me.
Ah, the economic crisis is killing us...
Even if I don't want to, I always end up with a new book in my hands.

But doesn't that happen to us all?

Later!
Ella
