Synopsis by Barnes and Noble:

Bianca will risk everything to be with Lucas.

After escaping from Evernight Academy, the vampire boarding school where they met, Bianca and Lucas take refuge with Black Cross, a fanatical group of vampire hunters. Bianca must hide her supernatural heritage or risk certain death at their hands. But when Black Cross captures her friend—the vampire Balthazar—hiding is no longer an option.

Soon, Bianca and Lucas are on the run again, pursued not only by Black Cross, but by the powerful leaders of Evernight. Yet no matter how far they travel, Bianca can't escape her destiny.

Bianca has always believed their love could survive anything . . . but can it survive what's to come?


Why:
It is a love story that rivals Rome and Juliet how can you not read it!!!!! It was absolutely amazing and every page surprised me. I never knew what was coming or when I thought I did, it would later turn out that I was wrong.

I am not providing the synopsis for this ook, because I have been told I am not allowed to read the back covers in advance or I will ruin the books for myself.

Why: Rachel Morgan is the heroine of this series. This is the 8th book. I love the books because she is such a strong character. She can deal with paranormal better than anyone else. The hollows where she dwells is an immaculate setting and provides lots of entertainment for the reader. I need to hurry up so I can read this new book.

I did not see a synopsis for this book. But it is the sequel to Lauren Conrad's acclaimed novel L.A. Candy. It follows Scarlett and Jane as they live their lives in Los Angeles and become the new hit sensations on a reality show.

Why: I was reallty surprised when I read L.A. Candy, because I absolutely loved it. I was so impressed by Lauren Conrad's writing ability and knack for creating a story. I quickly read the first book a few weeks ago so I could be ready for the release of Sweet Little Lies. The ending left me wanting more, I could barely contain myself. I will be purchasing this book today as soon as I can and it will jump to the top of my list for books to read!!! I am so excited and I think the fact that it is coming out around Valentines day makes it a little bit more fun!

Incarceron

Catherine Firsher

Penguin Group (USA)

$17.99 U.S. (Hardcover)

Release Date: TODAY!!!! 1/26/2010

FTC: I am not being compensated for mentioning this book.

Synopsis by Barnes and Noble:

Incarceron is a prison so vast that it contains not only cells, but also metal forests, dilapidated cities, and vast wilderness. Finn, a 17-year-old prisoner, has no memorie of his childhood and is sure that he came from Outside Incarceron. Very few prisoners believe that there is an Outside, however, which makes escapes seem impossible.

nd then Finn finds a crystal key that lets him communicate with a girlnamed Claudia. She claims to live outside -She is tha daughter of the Warden of Incarceron, and is doomed to an arranged marriage. Finn is determined to escape the prison, and Claudia thinks she can help him. But they don't realize that there is more to Incarceron than meets the eye. Escape will take their greatest courage and more than they know.

My Thoughts:

I do not know why but the moment I heard about this book I was hooked and wanting to read it. This is such a unique and different concept than anything I have been reading. Not to judge a book by its cover but this one looks dark, and also intriguing. I think that Incarceron will provide a much needed break from the ordinary. I cannot wait to read it!

Synopsis by Amazon:

In picturesque Rosewood, Pennsylvania, neighbors gossip over picket fences, and gleaming SUVs sit in every crushed-granite driveway. But recently, friendly smiles have been replaced with suspicious glares and accusatory whispers—and it's all because Hanna, Aria, Emily, and Spencer just can't keep their mouths shut. . . .
First they claimed they found a dead body in the woods behind Spencer's house, only to have it vanish without a trace. Then when the same woods went up in flames, they swore they saw someone who's supposed to be dead rise from the ashes. And even after all that, the pretty little liars are still playing with fire.
Hanna's trading in her Dior trench for a straitjacket. Aria's trying to contact the dead. Emily's dumped her boyfriend and is skipping town . . . again. And Spencer thinks someone in her family has gotten away with murder.
The friends insist they're telling the truth about what they saw, but all of Rosewood thinks they're simply out for attention—and nobody likes a girl who cries wolf. So when the big bad killer comes after the girls, will anyone believe them . . . or will they be the next to disappear?

Why: Here is the much awaited 7th installment of Sara Shepard's hit series Pretty Little Liars. I have eben ready for this book to come out since I finished Killer!!! I am so excited that it is out, I cannot wait to see what goes on in the mystery, and how the girl work together to keep there sanity as well as credibly!!! I hope to read this very soon!

FTC: I am not receving any compensation for promoting this book


Synopsis by Barnes and Noble:


Very LeFreak has a problem: she's a crazed technology addict. Very can't get enough of her iPhone, laptop, IMs, text messages, whatever. If there is any chance the incoming message, call, text, or photo might be from her supersecret online crush, she's going to answer, no matter what. Nothing is too important: sleep, friends, in mid-conversation, class, a meeting with the dean about academic probation. Soon enough, though, thisobsession costs Very everything and everyone. Can she learn to block out the noise so she can finally learn to hear her heart?
Why:
I think that this book looks very real. The extreme use of technology is something we can all relate to. I think that we all have forgotten the real world at times and gotten caught up in our cell phones, and computers. I am excited for this book and cannot wait to read it.

Lisa Schroeder is an amazing author as well as an amazing person. She is very kind and just plain fun to be around. Her writing provides the same type of vibe. Her first book I Heart You, You Haunt Me was ana amazing success. Her style of writing is easy to read but also very intriguing. I am very excited for Chasing Brooklyn to come out. I expect great things from it. I am also excited to be able to take part in a signing for this book tonight. For anyone in the Oregon/Washington area Lisa will be signing her book at Barnes and Noble at Clakamas town center tonight. I plan on getting there early so I can try and read it all before hand. I would reccomend picking up a copy of this book, because I know it will be worth it.

Restless souls and empty hearts
Brooklyn can't sleep. Her boyfriend, Lucca, died only a year ago, and now her friend Gabe has just died of an overdose. Every time she closes her eyes, Gabe's ghost is there waiting for her. She has no idea what he wants or why it isn't Lucca visiting her dreams.
Nico can't stop. He's always running, trying to escape the pain of losing his brother, Lucca. But when Lucca's ghost begins leaving messages, telling Nico to help Brooklyn, emotions come crashing to the surface.
As the nightmares escalate and the messages become relentless, Nico reaches out to Brooklyn. But neither of them can admit that they're being haunted. Until they learn to let each other in, not one soul will be able to rest.
