Bloody Bookaholic's Commandment:

Thou Shall Read Till Thy Eyes Bleed

Saturday 12 December 2009

New Goodies

I tried, man did I tried, to take a picture with the books on the tree and stuff but it went horrible so I will do this the old fashion way.



Summary:

The bestselling authors of The Nanny Diaries introduce a new heroine to root for: Jesse O'Rourke, coffee barista, high school senior, and unwitting reality TV star. Imagine there was never a Laguna Beach , a Newport Harbor , the shimmering Hills . Imagine that your hometown—your school—is the first place XTV descends to set up cameras. Now imagine they've trained them on you. When Jesse O'Rourke gets picked for a "documentary" being filmed at her school in the Hamptons she's tempted to turn down the offer.

But there's a tuition check attached to being on the show, and Jesse needs the cash so she can be the first in her family to attend college. All she has to do is trade her best friend for the glam clique she's studiously avoided, her privacy for a 24/7 mike, and her sense of right and wrong for "what sells on camera." . . . At least there's one bright spot in the train wreck that is her suddenly public senior year: Jesse's crush has also made the cast. As the producers manipulate the lives of their "characters" to heighten the drama, and Us Weekly covers become a regular occurrence for Jesse, she must struggle to remember one thing: the difference between real and the real real.

Second book is Ghostland by Jory Strong. This one I won from a contest at Book Reviews by Jess.

Summary:

Welcome to a postapocalyptic world, where the afterlife holds beings that only the bravest can summon—or dare to desire. Taken from her home and family, shamaness Aisling McConaughey must enter the “ghostlands” to save a wealthy man’s mistress. But there’s a price to pay for her power: She must summon the Djinn prince Zurael en Caym—and yield to his savage, sensual rage. Zurael intends to kill Aisling after she’s served as bait to find an enemy in possession of an ancient tablet. But the more he tastes her innocent spirit, the more he’ll use his fiery touch to keep her hungry for his mercy—even as they weave an erotic spell that he cannot escape…

Third but not last Deadtown by Nancy Holzner!!! I reaaally want to read this one!

Summary:

If you were undead, you'd be home by now...

They call it Deadtown: the city's quarantined section for its inhuman and undead residents. Most humans stay far from its borders-but Victory Vaughn, Boston's only professional demon slayer, isn't exactly human.

And that's that! A wonder set of book don't you think?
