Angelfire Read-Along: Week 3 Recap + Trivia Quiz | #ReaditandReap

Week three of the Angelfire Read-Along has come to an end and that means there's only one week left before you flip the last page of Angelfire. A big bulk of everything unfolds and occurs during these nine chapters that you can only expect an explosive ending next week! Aaack, that means that the first month of this read-along will be coming to an end; oh my, time sure does fly! But wait, that also means that we'll be diving into Wings of the Wicked right as the new year approaches. So, if you want to join us as we start book two of this trilogy, make sure you sign-up below before... you can't anymore, lol!

As a reminder, the chapters that needed to be read for this first week were: chapters #18-26.

It's all good if you haven't caught up yet or if you went past. Just make sure you don't fall too far behind or go too far ahead because then you might become confused with the chapters as we start discussing them more and more.

Cover Reveal: Dangerous by Suzannah Daniels

When I saw the sign-ups for this one, I couldn't not take part. After reading the synopsis, I really, really, really wanted to read it... like stat but I figured, I could settle for helping out in sharing the cover with all of you.

ERMAHGERD, A ERNERCERN!

Normally, I have a banner or header or... some sort of image here and it's really bugging me that I don't. It just doesn't look right to me. Aargh, anyway I digress. Like always. Oooh wait, I know what I could put here.

This is because I'm extremely excited today.

This is because Harry's just too adorable.

And this is because I'm distraught over this Harry and Taylor thing.

The Collector Book Two News + Giveaway | #VMafia #DanteisMine

I'm so stoked to be sharing this awesome news with you crazed bookworms! I think Victoria Scott's The Collector is one of the most highly anticipated 2013 release that most everyone is looking forward to devouring. I, for sure, know that I definitely can't wait to get my hands on this baby; it sounds so deliciously fun and just straight up bad. And well, who doesn't love a devilishly, sexy bad boy? ;)

Title: The Collector
Author: Victoria Scott
Publisher: Entangled Teen
Release date: April 2, 2013

Dante Walker is flippin’ awesome, and he knows it. His good looks, killer charm, and stellar confidence has made him one of hell’s best—a soul collector. His job is simple, weed through humanity and label those round rears with a big red good or bad stamp. Old Saint Nick gets the good guys, and he gets the fun ones. Bag-and-tag.

Sealing souls is nothing personal. Dante’s an equal opportunity collector and doesn’t want it any other way. But he’ll have to adjust, because Boss Man has given him a new assignment:

Collect Charlie Cooper’s soul within 10 days.

Dante doesn’t know why Boss Man wants Charlie, nor does he care. This assignment means only one thing to him, and that’s a permanent ticket out of hell. But after Dante meets the quirky, Nerd Alert chick he’s come to collect—he realizes this assignment will test his abilities as a collector, and uncover emotions deeply buried.

When Christian Rusch plucks Beck Ionesco from the freshman ranks for himself, she’s tempted with parties, popularity, and love. But as the free-flowing booze that soaks his world seeps into her own, Beck begins using liquid courage as a way to ignore Christian’s dark moods… and cover her anxiety about his flirtatious friend Hillman.

However, when Christian breaks up with Beck, and Hillman makes a dangerous move, no amount of alcohol can stop the pain or keep her out of trouble. And just when it seems like she’s lost everything, Beck is partnered with Jesse Leary for an art project. After spending time with him, Beck realizes it’s more than a study date… and Christian’s not happy about it. Then again, Beck’s not sure she’s happy with him, either.

But only after plowing through a bottle of wine, a wild fight, and one guardrail that becomes Christian’s last call, does Beck admit to her problem and ask for help from the one whose life secretly parallels her own.

First there are nightmares.
Every night Ellie is haunted by terrifying dreams of monstrous creatures that are hunting her, killing her.

Then come the memories.
When Ellie meets Will, she feels on the verge of remembering something just beyond her grasp. His attention is intense and romantic, and Ellie feels like her soul has known him for centuries. On her seventeenth birthday, on a dark street at midnight, Will awakens Ellie's power, and she knows that she can fight the creatures that stalk her in the grim darkness. Only Will holds the key to Ellie's memories, whole lifetimes of them, and when she looks at him, she can no longer pretend anything was just a dream.

Now she must hunt.
Ellie has power that no one can match, and her role is to hunt and kill the reapers that prey on human souls. But in order to survive the dangerous and ancient battle of the angels and the Fallen, she must also hunt for the secrets of her past lives and truths that may be too frightening to remember.

Angelfire Read-Along Introduction + Sign-Ups | #ReaditandReap

Today's post is one of the very many that you'll be seeing from now until Shadows in the Silence hits bookstores on January 29, 2013. I am a huge fan of the Angelfire series by Courtney Allison Moulton and I am terribly heartbroken over the fact that it's all coming to an end very soon... but that very reason is exactly why this calls for an all out boom-sha-ka-la-ka celebration leading up to then.

But for reals on the heartbroken thing. I am so distraught over this series ending. CAM sent me a galley of Shadows back in August September and I have yet to finish it. You would think that because I am the biggest fan... like ever a ginormous fan that I would have finished it by now but like... seriously, I don't think you guys understand how incredibly hard it is for me to let these characters go. I just can't, I refuse, actually. I told myself I'll give myself time to accept that fact but...
