#BOBblogoversary Day 18: Katie from Call Me Crazy Reviews + Giveaway

Welcome to day eighteen of my month long celebration event for Books Over Boys' three year anniversary! ;p If you would like to check out the first few days, you can do so by clicking the link that says "click here for all things blogoversary related" underneath the B.O.B. Turns 3 tab located in my right sidebar.

Even though the official day for my blogoversary has come to pass, I'm still celebrating because the days following my very first blog post are still worthy of celebration, yaknow? Well, I think so, anyway. Or, I just want a reason to celebrate, so here we are!

Today's post will be the last of my blogger features and I'm so excited to close it out with the one and only, Katie from Call Me Crazy Reviews. Katie and I go all the way back to the start. She was one of the very first bloggers that I connected a lot with when I first started blogging back in 2010. We were huge fans of Lisa Desrochers' Personal Demons trilogy. We were so obsessed that the two of us are exclusively a part of the #PDMafia. ;p It's pretty epic!

Also, as I got to know Katie more and more, I found out that we were both in crazy, stupid love with The Maine. SAY WHAT! I know! In October of 2010, I went to my very first The Maine concert. The days, or even weeks, leading up to the date involved a lot of tweets of me freaking out because I just couldn't believe it. Somewhere in those tweets, I found out that Katie was just as big of a fan as I was. Because of that, we shared a lot of concert stories and meet-and-greet experiences and photos and... yeah, Katie is awesome.

I'm so grateful that I got to know her because I feel like in a way, we're a whole lot the same. Of course, with a few differences here and there but in these three years, I've seen things where I'm like, "Omg, that's so me!" or "What? She likes so-and-so, too?!"

Story of our lives. ;p

Anyway, I'm so happy to call Katie a friend and it makes my heart all warm and fuzzy to have her here today as a part of Books Over Boys' three year blogoversary!

Sentinel Blog Tour: All things JLA & Covenant Related + Giveaway

Welcome to my stop on the Sentinel Blog Tour hosted by the fabulous Valerie from Stuck In Books. Before I get to all the amazing (and to be honest, bittersweet—for me, anyway) things going down today, can I just say how utterly upset and heartbroken I am to see this top favorite series of mine come to an end? I'm not a fan of series ending and when that series is an all-time favorite, it's even worse. Sad face, big time.

All things JLA and Covenant related are super near and dear to my heart because they were two of the very first, ever, of all time, things that I came into contact with (tell me why, after typing those two words, zombies came to mind? weird...) when I first became a blogger back in 2010. I remember back when JLA and the whole crew at Read. Chat. Love. used to get together almost every night to simply chat about every and all things book related. JLA was (and still is) our author rock star and three years later, it makes me smile ear to ear and my heart all warm and fuzzy and happy and excited to see all that she's accomplished and achieved. I'm so proud of Jennifer and she couldn't deserve it more!

JLA was also one of the very first authors to get me close and personal with a publishing house—Spencer Hill Press. (After checking Goodreads, it seems that I read Half-Blood in December of 2010. My eyes nearly popped out of their sockets after seeing how much time has passed; that's crazy pants!) Two months or so into blogging (I shouldn't even be requesting at this age; I wasn't even old enough to crawl ;p), I got ballsy enough to contact SHP and request an ARC of Half-Blood and my balls must have had luck because I got a copy. I nearly lost my sh*t! ;p It was definitely one of my highlights of being a newborn, all thanks to the fabulous JLA!

Back when Read. Chat. Love. was still up and running, we used to host random giveaways and because JLA was our author rock star, she sponsored and donated a lot to our giveaways. Anyway, my copies of Daimon and Half-Blood mean the ultimate most to me because they have these bomb-diggity stick drawings in them of the whole Covenant crew (well... the crew at the time... which only consisted of Alex, Aiden, Seth, and daimons, lol).

Needless to say, I love Jennifer to the next milky way and back times a million, billion, trillion, krillion, frillion, zillion, villion, gillion! This is why the Covenant series is super, duper, extra all-the-things-on-the-side special to me; it means the most to me. It's making my heart so heavy and sad to see this series go. I mean, I'm not even caught up (I stopped after Pure) but still, there's so much turmoil swirling about in me. I really just can't!

For today's stop, I'm taking a trip down memory lane (focusing primarily on Half-Blood; I'm taking you guys back to the beginning) where we'll take a closer look at how the amazing and epic and awesome Half-Blood (and Alexandria Andros' life) all began! Stick around because 1) this post is probably going to be the longest that I've written in all of 2013 ;p and 2) things are gonna go down! Oh, I should also mention that Spencer Hill Press is hosting one heckuva giveaway for this tour that's more epic than epic, so don't miss a single thing going on today in this post! Now, let's go kick some daimon ass!

Never Let Go Blog Tour: Spotlight + Giveaway

Welcome to my stop on the Never Let Go Blog Tour hosted by Literati Author Services, Inc. For today's stop, I've got a spotlight on Never Let Go as well as the tour wide giveaway to share with all of you so stick around and don't go anywhere! ;p

About the book:

Title: Never Let Go
Author: Scarlett Edwards
Publisher: Self
Release date: October 16, 2013

The first day of college gives every girl a chance to reinvent herself.

I go and screw mine up by meeting the most gorgeous guy I've seen in five years while talking to my cat.

But Andrew Crowner is far from judgmental. By the end of our interaction, he has me smitten by his easy manner and kind smile. And from the way his eyes linger on me before he leaves, I start to think that maybe I’ve caught his attention, too.

I let myself believe that luck may finally be on my side. That is, until I stumble on my roommate, and her overnight guest: Spencer Ashford.

Lean, tattooed, and sexy as sin, Spencer is exactly the type I need to avoid. I would have no trouble with that... were it not for his swift and inexplicable interest in me.

Suddenly, I go from a girl with next-to-no experience with boys to one caught in the crosshairs of two completely different men.

Andrew's interest is wholesome and sweet. Spencer's is edgy and raw. My choice should be easy. But there are always complications, and sometimes, matters of the heart take the least expected turns.

#BOBblogoversary Day 16: Sam from Paper Cuts + Giveaway

Welcome to day sixteen of my month long celebration event for Books Over Boys' three year anniversary! ;p If you would like to check out the first few days, you can do so by clicking the link that says "click here for all things blogoversary related" underneath the B.O.B. Turns 3 tab located in my right sidebar.

Even though the official day for my blogoversary has come to pass, I'm still celebrating because the days following my very first blog post are still worthy of celebration, yaknow? Well, I think so, anyway. Or, I just want a reason to celebrate, so here we are!

For today's feature, I've got the awesome Sam from Paper Cuts here to join in the fun! I've known Sam for a while now and somewhere along the line, she's become someone who I can go to and command to read so and so book after I've finished it. That came out a bit weird but I didn't want to get all informal (more than I already am) on you guys. But what I mean is that after I finish a book that's got me nine levels of happy and excited and distraught and... all the feels, I can comfortably send a quick message to Sam and basically tell her she has to read said book or else, lol!

Every now and then, we'll update each other on what we've been reading and after hearing Sam's recommendations, I realize that we have pretty similar—like thisclose—taste in books, which just adds to Sam's level of awesome! Anyway, it's great to have her here on Books Over Boys today because her friendship means a whole bunch to me!

He’ll play dirty to get what he wants…

Willow Cavanaugh would be happy if she never saw Nick Hamilton again. Sure, they had a short-lived fling many years ago, but now he’s back and acting like he wants a second chance. But Willow knows he’s way too much of a playboy to want to settle down with one woman. Plus, she’s got her heart set on a piece of real estate for her catering business that it turns out Nick owns…

Nick may be at the top of his game, but all he really seems to want is Willow. When he offers to sell Willow his commercial space if she agrees to a series of dates with him, jumping back into bed after each one seems like an inevitability. But what about when real feelings get involved?

Two years ago, Mia had everything she thought she wanted. She loved her job, and her best friend Nicole was finally recovering from losing her family in a car accident. When they met rock star Zack Walters and given backstage pages for his concert in their hometown of Minneapolis, Mia had no idea she would get involved with the band’s drummer, Chase Harper. It was simple, fun, and exactly what Mia liked best – no strings attached.

Then Chase decided to change the rules and Mia did what she’s always done best: she ran.

Now she’s on her way to Los Angeles to help Nicole get ready for her wedding to Zack. The one thing she’s not looking forward to is seeing Chase again. With his sculpted muscles, strong hands and dark gray eyes that seem to know everything she’s thinking – Chase has the ability to make her forget. He also has the power to make her feel, something Mia refuses to let happen.

When everything around Mia’s life begins to crumble, and she keeps all of her secrets tucked close and hidden away, Chase is the one who steps in to help.

Because he has decided that he isn’t letting her go again. Not until she finally admits she’s his.

Note: Book can be read as a standalone as these are spin-off characters from Just One Song.

#BOBblogoversary Day 15: Cora Carmack + Giveaway

Welcome to day fifteen of my month long celebration event for Books Over Boys' three year anniversary! ;p If you would like to check out the first few days, you can do so by clicking the link that says "click here for all things blogoversary related" underneath the B.O.B. Turns 3 tab located in my right sidebar.

Even though the official day for my blogoversary has come to pass, I'm still celebrating because the days following my very first blog post are still worthy of celebration, yaknow? Well, I think so, anyway. Or, I just want a reason to celebrate, so here we are!

For today's feature, I've got the awkward and amazing, Cora Carmack, the New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author of Losing It, here today for lots of epic fun! It's no surprise how big of a fan I am of Carmack. Just recently, I went on a Carmack binge and read all the books in her Losing It series that I'm still reeling from the fact that it's over. I seriously don't think my mind has comprehended that because I feel like there's more coming; clearly, I'm in denial. ;p

She has made a fan out of me for life and although we won't be seeing anymore from her one of a kind cast in the Losing It series (there's still Jackson's upcoming novella, Seeking Her, so it's not completely over but... novella it is), I'm thrilled and a whole lot of excited about her new and upcoming release, All Lined Up, the first in the Rusk University series. Friday Night Lights plus New Adult -- I'm definitely going to be all over that!

Needless to say, having Carmack here today has got all my fangirl juices on an all-time high and it's definitely an honor!

One bad boy. One good girl. One unforgettable week…

Angelle Prejean is in a pickle. Her family is expecting her to come home with a fiancé—a fiancé who doesn’t exist. Well, he exists, but he definitely has no idea Angelle told her mama they were engaged. Tattooed, muscled, and hotter than sin, Cane can reduce Angelle to a hot mess with one look—and leave her heart a mess if she falls for him. But when she ends up winning Cane at a charity bachelor auction, she knows just how to solve her fiancé problem.

Cane Robicheaux is no one’s prince. He doesn’t do relationships and he doesn’t fall in love. When sweet, sultry-voiced Angelle propositions him, he hopes their little game can finally get her out of his head. He doesn’t expect her to break through all his barriers. But even as Angelle burrows deeper into his heart, he knows once their seven days are up, so is their ruse.
