Friday Finds

Friday Finds is hosted by Should Be Reading.

Every single week my TBR pile keeps expanding. I am greedy for books. Good or bad? Probably not so good. But I can't help it, and neither can you.

And there are my 5 find picks. All kind of dark and twisted (my style), except for one. A Company of Swans caught my eye for its beautiful cover with a ballerina, the pose, and the stare.

I am the kind of person that judges a book by their cover. I'm not proud of it, but I won't lie either. All of the other covers are very eye catching as well. If I had to chooce one I guess it would be between Soulless and The Devouring.

Here are some links concerning the books.

The Year of Disappearances by Susan Hubbard

Gone by Lisa McMann

The Devouring by Simon Holt

Soulless by Gail Carriger

A Company of Swans by Eva Ibbotson

Edit: See the new pic of Gone? Isn't it creepy yet alluring? I so want to read this book!

On another thing...

I was nominated for the Inspiration Award by Jessica from Shut Up! I'm Reading. None of us are sure what this award is for. Inspiration? That's my best guess.

Also I as awarded the Your Blog Rock award by our very own Zombie Girrrl from Crackin' Spines and Takin'Names. And nominated once again for the Kreativ Award and the Proximade Award by Lexi from Another Page Issued.

Since I already nominated for Kreativ and proximade award, I will just nominate for the Your Blog Rocks, and the Inspirational Award.

Contest Winner

So, I'm just going to set back the clock a little bit! Sorry that I did not post this sooner, I was a tad busy today.

The winner of the Eyes Like Stars contest is...

Angel! From The Scribblings of an Aspiring Writer

There were a lot of people in this contest. Like 39 people! Almost 40 ^^ and I hope on my other contest, which will probably be soon enough, we get up till 50. How about that?

Right now I'm waiting for Angel's response, and she have's till 12:30 AM tomorrow. If she does not repond well then, I will give the book at random!

Wishing on Wednesday, Among Other Things...

First and foremost! Do you guys like the new and improved layout? I love it! It was created by Laina from Laina Has Too Much Spare Time, among other blogs.

I love the color, and both together? ah! So pretty ^^

Other than talk about my super layout, well, my current, and only contest, ends today. TODAY IS THE LAST DAY, whoever wants to sign up do it before 12 a.m. because after that time no one will be able to even look at the post.

I will put dragons and 3 headed dogs to watch it and keep it safe for me. Tomorrow Ill announce

the winner, and frankly I don't know who is winning, most people have the same score so I think this one is going to be random!

Now I will stare out the window to see if I can catch a shooting star and make my wish...

*looking*.... *still looking*... *thinking that maybe the stars took a short break*... *YATA! There she goes!*

Meridian by Amber Kizer

Half-human, half-angel, Meridian Sozu has a dark responsibility.

Sixteen-year-old Meridian has been surrounded by death ever since she can remember. As a child, insects, mice, and salamanders would burrow into her bedclothes and die. At her elementary school, she was blamed for a classmate’s tragic accident. And on her sixteenth birthday, a car crashes in front of her family home—and Meridian’s body explodes in pain.

Before she can fully recover, Meridian is told that she’s a danger to her family and hustled off to her great-aunt’s house in Revelation, Colorado. It’s there that she learns that she is a Fenestra—the half-angel, half-human link between the living and the dead. But Meridian and her sworn protector and love, Tens, face great danger from the Aternocti, a band of dark forces who capture vulnerable souls on the brink of death and cause chaos.

So what do you think? Pretty cool uh? I know another book about half-angels, but I think that theme is very interesting! Like Blue Bloods for example, their version of vampires is angels fallen from grace, and I think that version is pretty convincing. It's better than demons dragged away from hell at any rate.

The cover looks very mysterious, yet alluring. The girl she knows about the things that hide in the dark, and that you should be careful about them.

Bonus, there might be a certain interview in the works with the author, and maybe even a contest...

In another news Ghostgirl:Homecoming is out! So for those people who read the first book go run and but the second one! I don't know about you but when Im reading a series its very rare that I stop reading it, for any reason.

PS; There is a current giveaway for a copy of My Name Is Will at A Journey of Books

Anyways hear what you think, I want.

Leave a comment, you shall.
