What's Next is a meme hosted by <a href="http://iceybooks.com/blog/whats-next">IceyBooks</a>!</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's how it works :</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Every Thursday select three-five books (not too many, not too little!) that you want to read but can't decide which one to read first.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Post the cover, and if you want, the synopsis or even a random line from the book, for each of your selections.</div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-At the end of your post, ask readers to vote on which one you should read next!</div>

Lies, secrets, and magic — three things that define Kayla's life.<br /><br />Sixteen-year-old Kayla plans to spend her summer hanging out on the beach in Santa Barbara and stealing whatever she wants, whenever she wants it. Born with the ability to move things with her mind — things like credit cards, diamond rings, and buttons on cash registers — she has become a master shoplifter. She steals to build up a safety net, enough money for her and her mom to be able to flee if her dad finds them again. Well, that, and the thrill of using her secret talents.<br /><br />But her summer plans change when she's caught stealing by a boy named Daniel — a boy who needs her help and is willing to blackmail her to get it. Daniel has a talent of his own. He can teleport, appearing anywhere in the world in an instant, but he lies as easily as he travels. Together, they embark on a quest to find and steal an ancient incantation, written on three indestructible stones and hidden millennia ago, all to rescue Daniel's kidnapped mother. But Kayla has no idea that this rescue mission will lead back to her own family — and to betrayals that she may not be able to forgive... or survive.<a class="actionLinkLite" href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13518255-chasing-power?from_search=true#"></a></blockquote>

I live about a half hour south of Madison Wisconsin so the most interesting landmark is of course The Capital Building. It's such a beautiful building.<br />

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of <a href="http://shouldbereading.wordpress.com/">Should Be Reading</a>. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:</div>
<div>
• Grab your current read</div>
<div>
• Open to a random page</div>
<div>
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page</div>
<div>
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)<br />
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!<br />

Life of a Blogger is a weekly feature hosted by <a href="http://novelheartbeat.com/">Novel Heartbeat</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Every week we talk about a non-bookish topic, so that we get to know each other on a more personal level.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This weeks topic: Quirks</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Where do I even start? I openly admit that I am an odd one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
I don't like my food to touch on my plate, if it's not meant to be mixed together it shouldn't be touching.</div>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
Along those same lines I eat things in an order, which I never thought was weird until my aunt pointed it out one time when we were out one time now she laughs at me.</div>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
I'm incredibly grossed out by feet. If you touch me with your feet I'll probably freak out....baby feet are okay though.</div>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
I only eat eggs if they are hardboiled otherwise I cant stand them.</div>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
I haven't owned a winter coat since I was 18 and I live in Wisconsin</div>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
I have a giant sectional in my living room but I only ever sit in one spot on it and no one else can sit there.</div>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's probably so much more, but you don't really want to know how strange I am.<br />

What's Next is a meme hosted by <a href="http://iceybooks.com/blog/whats-next">IceyBooks</a>!</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's how it works :</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Every Thursday select three-five books (not too many, not too little!) that you want to read but can't decide which one to read first.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Post the cover, and if you want, the synopsis or even a random line from the book, for each of your selections.</div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-At the end of your post, ask readers to vote on which one you should read next!<br />

Four years ago, Judith and her best friend disappeared from their small town of Roswell Station. Two years ago, only Judith returned, permanently mutilated, reviled and ignored by those who were once her friends and family. Unable to speak, Judith lives like a ghost in her own home, silently pouring out her thoughts to the boy who’s owned her heart as long as she can remember—even if he doesn’t know it—her childhood friend, Lucas. But when Roswell Station is attacked, long-buried secrets come to light, and Judith is forced to choose: continue to live in silence, or recover her voice, even if it means changing her world, and the lives around her, forever. This startlingly original novel will shock and disturb you; it will fill you with Judith’s passion and longing; and its mysteries will keep you feverishly turning the pages until the very last.<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17297487-all-the-truth-that-s-in-me?from_search=true#"></a></blockquote>

Take Romeo and Juliet. Add The Outsiders. Mix thoroughly. Colt and Julia were secretly together for an entire year, and no one, not even Julia's boyfriend, knew. They had nothing in common, with Julia in her country club world on Black Mountain and Colt from down on the flats, but it never mattered. Until Julia dies in a car accident, and Colt learns the price of secrecy. He can't mourn Julia openly, and he's tormented that he might have played a part in her death. When Julia's journal ends up in his hands, Colt relives their year together at the same time that he's desperately trying to forget her. But how do you get over someone who was never yours in the first place?</blockquote>

I've had this book sitting on my shelf for a long time so I thought it was about time I got around to reading it. Plus I wanted a quick read and this was one of the shortest books I own.<br />
<br />
So it's been a few day since I finished reading <em>The Secret Year</em> and I'm still not 100% sure how I feel about the book as a whole. I liked the way the story was told through Colt's flashbacks and Julia's letters in her journal as well as Colt's current situations, the style reminded me a lot of <em>Thirteen Reasons Why</em> which I enjoyed quite a bit.</div>
<div align="center">
The story is definitely one that pulls on the heartstrings watching Colt privately go through his grief over the girl that was never really his while reliving their year together through Julia's notebook as he tries to find the answers to the questions he has about what their relationship meant and the guilt he feels over her death. I wish there was a bit more character development with some of the more minor characters and some more insight into the relationships amongst the characters. At the end of the book I still feel like I don't know what kind of person Julia really was as she is mostly seen through Colts eyes.<br />
All in all <em>The Secret Year</em> was an enjoyable read and a good one if you're looking for something quick to read.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
My first one I got was when I was 22 for my son. I was originally just get his name done but I wanted a nautical star since I was about 16. This picture doesn't do the colors justice with the purple and pink highlighting on the outside.</div>

Sixteen-year-old Juliet Moreau has built a life for herself in London—working as a maid, attending church on Sundays, and trying not to think about the scandal that ruined her life. After all, no one ever proved the rumors about her father's gruesome experiments. But when she learns he is alive and continuing his work on a remote tropical island, she is determined to find out if the accusations are true.<br />
<br />
<br />
Accompanied by her father's handsome young assistant, Montgomery, and an enigmatic castaway, Edward—both of whom she is deeply drawn to—Juliet travels to the island, only to discover the depths of her father's madness: He has experimented on animals so that they resemble, speak, and behave as humans. And worse, one of the creatures has turned violent and is killing the island's inhabitants. Torn between horror and scientific curiosity, Juliet knows she must end her father's dangerous experiments and escape her jungle prison before it's too late. Yet as the island falls into chaos, she discovers the extent of her father's genius—and madness—in her own blood.<br />
<br />
<br />
Inspired by H. G. Wells's classic The Island of Dr. Moreau, The Madman's Daughter is a dark and breathless Gothic thriller about the secrets we'll do anything to know and the truths we'll go to any lengths to protect.</blockquote>

So I've been in quite a reading funk for awhile now, it's been months since I to really been able to finish a book. There was a lot riding on <em>The Madman's Daughter</em> to help get me out of my rut and I was not disappointed. I've said before that I'm not a huge fan of historical fiction, but there was something about this that drew me to it. Most likely the cover, I admit I'm a cover addict.<br />
<br />
<em>The Madman's Daughter</em> started off dark and just got even more twisted the deeper I got into it, which kept me completely engrossed until the end. I don't think I've ever read something with such a creepy tone to it before so it was a nice change from my normal comfort zone.<br />
<br />
The story starts off in London with an orphaned Juliet working as a maid after her family's fall from grace from the scandalous rumor of the true nature of her father's experiments. While at a party she sees something by chance that leads her to believe that her father is alive and sets her off on the journey to find him and to find out if he's the monster everyone says he is or the father she once knew.<br />
<br />
There is quite a few disturbingly vivid scenes throughout the story that were very well written and make you feel like you're right there with Juliet. While there is a love triangle in the story it wasn't the main focus of the plot and I didn't mind it at all. The ending of the book had some elements that I didn't see coming, at all, I think I'm losing my touch. When is was over I wanted more and I needed sit for a little bit to fully absorb everything that happened, then had to check where I was on the hold list for that I will now impatiently wait for.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's how it works :</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Every Thursday select three-five books (not too many, not too little!) that you want to read but can't decide which one to read first.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Post the cover, and if you want, the synopsis or even a random line from the book, for each of your selections.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-At the end of your post, ask readers to vote on which one you should read next!</div>

Under the bubbling hot springs and geysers of Yellowstone National Park is a super volcano. Most people don't know it's there. The caldera is so large that it can only be seen from a plane or satellite. It just could be overdue for an eruption, which would change the landscape and climate of our planet.<br />
<br />
For Alex, being left alone for the weekend means having the freedom to play computer games and hang out with his friends without hassle from his mother. Then the Yellowstone super volcano erupts, plunging his hometown into a nightmare of darkness, ash, and violence. Alex begins a harrowing trek to search for his family and finds help in Darla, a travel partner he meets along the way. Together they must find the strength and skills to survive and outlast an epic disaster.<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9644151-ashfall?from_search=true#"></a></blockquote>

The most tragic love story in history . . .<br />
<br />
Juliet Capulet didn't take her own life. She was murdered by the person she trusted most, her new husband, Romeo Montague, a sacrifice made to ensure his own immortality. But what Romeo didn't anticipate was that Juliet would be granted eternity, as well, and would become an agent for the Ambassadors of Light. For 700 years, she's fought Romeo for the souls of true lovers, struggling to preserve romantic love and the lives of the innocent. Until the day she meets someone she's forbidden to love, and Romeo, oh Romeo, will do everything in his power to destroy that love.<br />
<br />
"These violent delights have violent ends<br />
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,<br />
Which as they kiss consume."<br />

<strong>Excerpt:</strong></h3>
<strong> </strong>
There are no woods in Demoria, so our hunt is along the back of the city, in a massive canyon. Demorians do not ride, as the area is not very large to traverse, but they do use the uneven terrain to their advantage. We settle in behind a mossy boulder and look out over the expanse. Wild dogs prowl through the trenches; rabbits scamper along elevated knolls.
“Demoria is not so bad when it’s behind me,” I say. The vast landscape is beautiful in the shifting pinks and purples of dawn. It felt the same way yesterday afternoon atop the lighthouse.
“That is how most things are in life,” Seamus concedes. He places his gun on the ground and unpacks his bag. He reveals a box of tarts in ten different flavors. Damn.
“Not fair,” I say, already stuffing my face with passion fruit tart.
“I did my research.”
We sit in pleasant, tart-filled silence for a while, fruit pastries winning over my taste buds. They are less recalcitrant than my stubborn heart.
Sanara is right; Seamus is kind of cute. He has a boyish charm, especially for someone who has probably seen things I could never even imagine.
“How many people have you killed?” I’m not known for my tact.
“Too many to count,” he answers quickly, not ashamed.
“Don't you ever think about who they were? Doesn't it bother you?”
“I know each of their names. I know who they were, and I know who was left behind when I did my job.” He’s defiant. I don't really blame him. He is a Demorian; killing is what he does.
“Still, I mean, just because someone tells you to kill someone...”
“I was ready to get you this morning, with exactly the right kind of bow and arrows, and a box of tarts, because I did not sleep for more than a couple hours. As charming as you are, that was not because my heart was all a-flutter at seeing you. It was because a good night is four hours.”
“So why do it?”
“Because someone has to, and it was destined to be me.”
“I don't believe in fate. We make our own destinies,” I argue.
“It is easier to say that when you are not trained to be an assassin,” he counters.
Silence settles back over us. I think about what he says. Would I be who I am if I’d been raised differently? Does being born somewhere or being of a certain blood dictate the person each of us becomes? I can’t picture a different me somewhere, destined to marry and doing it because it was the assigned path I would take. Although maybe he’s right. None of my choices have involved considering the fate of another human being. If he admits that he had any control over his own life, he admits that he made the choice to murder someone else. That would be unbearable, and I empathize with his conviction that some part of our lives is set out for us before we start.
“I need to be back early. Tonight is a big deal.”
“Ah yes, our betrothal debut.” His tone is mocking, but it’s not an angry mockery.
“It doesn't bother you, does it? Marrying me?”
“I’m lucky to be engaged to you. I understand why you don't feel the same.” He packs up the rest of the tarts and stands. Bending over, he offers his hand to assist me in getting up. I am on my feet quickly, but I don’t let go of his hand right away.
“Seamus, it isn't you. Of the potential mates my parents have proposed, you are the best of them.” It’s the only thing I can provide him, but it’s true. Under different circumstances, he may have even been my own choice.

<strong>About the Author:</strong></h3>
Sarah Daltry writes about the regular people who populate our lives. She's written works in various genres - romance, erotica, fantasy, horror. Genre isn't as important as telling a story about people and how their lives unfold. Sarah tends to focus on YA/NA characters but she's been known to shake it up. Most of her stories are about relationships - romantic, familial, friendly - because love and empathy are the foundation of life. It doesn't matter if the story is set in contemporary NY, historical Britain, or a fantasy world in the future - human beings are most interesting in the ways they interact with others. This is the principle behind all of Sarah's stories.
Sarah has spent most of her life in school, from her BA and MA in English and writing to teaching both at the high school and college level. She also loves studying art history and really anything because learning is fun.
When Sarah isn't writing, she tends to waste a lot of time checking the Internet for pictures of cats, shooting virtual zombies, and simply staring out the window.
She has written several books, most notably <em>Bitter Fruits</em>, an urban fantasy in the <em>Eden’s Fall </em>series, <em>Backward Compatible: A Geek Love Story,</em> and the six book New Adult <em>Flowering </em>series, including <em>Forget Me Not, Lily of the Valley, Blue Rose, Star of Bethlehem, Orange Blossom, </em>and <em>Ambrosia. </em>

In short, Random Reads is a meme where we pick a random book from our shelf to read within the month. Feel free to do more than one per month, but since a lot of people have a lot of books to read each month, only one is “required” for the meme. </div>

Seventeen year old Jade Sommers life tuned upside down the moment she saw the inch long cut across her face, heal right before her eyes.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Jade thought she was going insane, but her boyfriend Aiden Scott knew better. He knew what she was. And like him, she was born this way.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now if finding out that people like her shouldn’t exist was bad enough, Jades best friend is kidnapped by the psycho who’s terrorized her dreams. With the help of Aiden, she has to figure out how to saver her, before it’s too late.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
But what Jade doesn’t know, is not everything is what it seems. She is merely a puppet in a sadistic game to find out what she is truly capable of – and the game has only just begun.</blockquote>

Where do you go when nowhere is safe?<br />
<br />
Sixteen years after a deadly virus wiped out most of Earth's population, the world is a perilous place. Eighteen-year-old Eve has never been beyond the heavily guarded perimeter of her school, where she and two hundred other orphaned girls have been promised a future as the teachers and artists of the New America. But the night before graduation, Eve learns the shocking truth about her school's real purpose and the horrifying fate that awaits her.<br />
<br />
<br />
Fleeing the only home she's ever known, Eve sets off on a long, treacherous journey, searching for a place she can survive. Along the way she encounters Arden, her former rival from school, and Caleb, a rough, rebellious boy living in the wild. Separated from men her whole life, Eve has been taught to fear them, but Caleb slowly wins her trust... and her heart. He promises to protect her, but when soldiers begin hunting them, Eve must choose between true love and her life.</blockquote>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's how it works :</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Every Thursday select three-five books (not too many, not too little!) that you want to read but can't decide which one to read first.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Post the cover, and if you want, the synopsis or even a random line from the book, for each of your selections.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-At the end of your post, ask readers to vote on which one you should read next!</div>

Marshall Seaver is being haunted. In the first installment of this chillingly compelling trilogy, sixteen-year-old Marshall discovers that something beyond our world is after him.

Marshall has no idea what's happening to him, but he's soon convinced that it has something to do with his best friend Cooper, who's been missing for over a week.

Cassel comes from a family of Curse Workers - people who have the power to change your emotions, your memories, your luck, by the slightest touch of their hands. And since curse work is illegal, they're all criminals. Many become mobsters and con artists. But not Cassel. He hasn't got magic, so he's an outsider, the straight kid in a crooked family. You just have to ignore one small detail - he killed his best friend, Lila, three years ago.<br />

Cassel has carefully built up a facade of normalcy, blending into the crowd. But his facade starts to crumble when he finds himself sleepwalking, propelled into the night by terrifying dreams about a white cat that wants to tell him something. He's noticing other disturbing things too, including the strange behavior of his two brothers. They are keeping secrets from him. As Cassel begins to suspect he's part of a huge con game, he must unravel his past and his memories. To find out the truth, Cassel will have to out-con the conmen</blockquote>

<br />
<br />
A sword wielding girl, an eternal suit and an alternate universe.<br />
<br />
<br />
Lil has a gift, one she never thought possible as she finds herself awake after a strange dream with the tell-tale sign that what she dreamt was in fact real. The dreamscape, was more than just a premonition it happened. She’d been momentarily tossed into another dimension. Where most would consider her crazy, not her best friend Bray.<br />
<br />
In another reality, one similar and yet slightly different Willow has been kidnapped by the sorceress turned demon, Eilith. Rawlie, Willow’s friend and companion crosses to our universe for help and brings Lil into his world. Filled with frightening creatures and magical elements, Lil demands to go home, until she discovers Bray has been taken by Eilith as well. Unable to watch her best friend die, she joins forces with Rawlie, Jamie and the others to hunt down Eilith and rescue those they care about.<br />

Ruth Silver attended Northern Illinois University and graduated with a Bachelor's in Communication in the spring of 2005. While in college, she spent much of her free time writing with friends she met online and penning her first novel, Deuces are Wild, which she self-published in 2004. Her favorite class was Creative Writing senior year where she often handed in assignments longer than the professor required because she loved to write and always wanted to finish her stories. Her love of writing led her on an adventure in 2007 to Melbourne, Australia. Silver enjoys reading, photography, traveling and most of all writing. She loves dystopian and fantasy young adult stories. Her debut novel published by Lazy Day Publishing and Patchwork Press, ABERRANT, was released April 2013. The second novel in the series, MOIRAI, continues the saga. ISAURA, is the final installment in the ABERRANT trilogy. Ruth has been actively writing since she was a teenager. Her current writing projects include a YA science-fiction fantasy series, ORENDA, and a YA/NA paranormal series, DEAD GIRL WALKING. Both novels are due for release in 2014. She currently resides in Plainfield, Illinois.<br />

<b>An Endless Summer (Summer #2)</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<blockquote>
<b>by CJ Duggan</b><br />
Expected pub: July 17th 2013<br />
Sean looked out over the lake, squinting against the sunlight. He turned to me, his expression sobering as his eyes flicked over my face in a silent study.<br />
“Come on Amy, I saved you once, I’ll save you again.”<br />
I met his stare unflinchingly. “I don’t need saving.”<br />
A wicked grin formed slowly. “Don’t you?”<br />
After a rebellious summer night that almost claimed her life, Amy Henderson – the Onslow publican’s only daughter – is sent away to suffer a fate far worse than any other punishment:<br />
Boarding School.<br />
Three years on, a now nineteen-year-old Amy returns to Onslow for the summer. What once was a cauldron of activity with live bands, hot meals and cold beers, the Onslow Hotel now lies dark, deserted and depressing. All fond childhood memories of loitering on the hotel stairs and eavesdropping on customers’ colourful conversations are in the distant past.<br />
How had her dad let it come to this?<br />
With the new threat of putting the Onslow up for sale, Amy reluctantly turns to a local tradesman for help: Sean Murphy, the very same Onslow boy who saved her life all those years ago. With his help and that of some old friends, the task is clear: spend the summer building the hotel back up to its former glory or lose it for good.<br />
In an endless summer, Amy soon realises that sometimes in order to save your future, you have to face your past, even if it’s in the form of a smug, gorgeous Onslow boy.<br />

<b>The Boys of Summer (Summer, #1)</b></blockquote>
<blockquote>
It seemed only natural to nickname them the ‘Onslow Boys’. Every time they swaggered in the front door of the Onslow Hotel after a hard week’s work, their laughter was loud and genuine as they settled onto their bar stools. I peeked through the restaurant partition, a flimsy divider between my world and theirs. I couldn’t help but smile whenever I saw them, saw him ... Toby Morrison.<br />
Quiet seventeen-year-old Tess doesn’t relish the thought of a summertime job. She wants nothing more than to forget the past haunts of high school and have fun with her best friends before the dreaded Year Twelve begins.<br />
To Tess, summer is when everything happens: riding bikes down to the lake, watching the fireworks at the Onslow Show and water bomb fights at the sweltering Sunday markets.<br />
How did she let her friends talk her into working?<br />
After first-shift disasters, rude, wealthy tourists and a taunting ex-boyfriend, Tess is convinced nothing good can come of working her summer away. However, Tess finds unlikely allies in a group of locals dubbed ‘The Onslow Boys’, who are old enough to drive cars, drink beer and not worry about curfews. Tess’s summer of working expands her world with a series of first times with new friends, forbidden love and heartbreaking chaos.<br />
All with the one boy she has never been able to forget.<br />
It will be a summer she will always remember.<br />
Warning: sexual references, and occasional coarse language.<br />

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of <a href="http://shouldbereading.wordpress.com/">Should Be Reading</a>. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:</div>
<div>
• Grab your current read</div>
<div>
• Open to a random page</div>
<div>
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page</div>
<div>
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)<br />
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!<br />

Things have been pretty hectic since I moved back to my hometown and now that things are starting to settle down a bit I think it is about time to get back into the swing of things in both worlds. I've neglected my books and my blog long enough it's about time I give them some much needed attention.<div>
