Lookie!

Hey everyone!

I was bored today, and all I have to do in school today is, tests. Lots of tests. (but easy ones) and practice my piano...anyway...

I made a Twitter account for Pearl Underwood. (from my book, you know) look her up! Pearl_SFT (you get a lot of teasers from her all the time.)

Also, I got the 2nd proof of SHADOW FUTURE today, but it's still a little sketchy. I need to fix some things. Ugh. But I'm so close!! Here's a pic of it though:

Also, I finished the short valentine's day story yesterday. I just need to edit. (uck) and it'll be HERE on Feb 14th!

Love you guys!

Review: CASCADE by Lisa T. Bergen

This is the 3rd book I've read this year.

Summary: www.goodreads.com

Mom touched my underdress—a gown made six hundred years before—and her eyes widened as she rubbed the raw silk between thumb and forefinger. She turned and touched Lia’s gown. “Where did you get these clothes?”

Gabi knows she’s left her heart in the fourteenth century and she persuades Lia to help her to return, even though they know doing so will risk their very lives. When they arrive, weeks have passed and all of Siena longs to celebrate the heroines who turned the tide in the battle against Florence—while the Florentines will go to great lengths to see them dead.

But Marcello patiently awaits, and Gabi must decide if she’s willing to leave her family behind for good in order to give her heart to him forever.

Language: None. It' good to read a book like that. :)

Romance: Lots of kissing. I mean, LOTS of kissing. But it wasn't bad kissing, it was REAL love kissing. And talk about marriage, and being without the other is like part of them is somewhere else. 

Violence: It's in Medieval Italy, during a war. There's lots of blood and swords in places you can't imagine. (like throats and eyes, and ears) Lisa does a good jog describing it, but not in a way you want to go throw up, just enough that you know someone just got hit or struck. 


Any other bad things: Gabi thinks that this one guy might be gay, because he wasn't interested in her at first. And there's always the ongoing argument about if Gabi and Lia should stay, or go back. And Gabi keeps getting hurt, I mean. A LOT. Poor girl. :( 

Comments: I LOVED this book. At the beginning, it was just a normal good book, but as I got further into it, I couldn't stop reading it! I love books set back then. It's so cool to read about what life was like back then.  And Lisa does a great job doing it. I can't imagine all the research she had to do. And it's written so well! And Christian. (even better!) I also loved how most of the guys were so nice, and not all...well...guy really. Like, they were really knight's in shining armor. Both figuratively, and literally. 

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars.

(Yes, I am moving on to TORRENT now!)

Love Scenes from SHADOW FUTURE part 2

Hey everyone! I know you've been waiting for this all week....so.....are you ready?

“When she stopped, she looked up at me with those big jade eyes and whispered: ‘thank you’.”

“I didn’t know what to say. Those eyes were amazing. And I couldn’t stop staring. 


(this scene is being told to Pearl by someone else, in case you were confused.)


Hope you enjoyed it!

Waiting on Wednesday (a bit late)

Hey all!! I'm doing a waiting on Wens. (a bit late, sorry!)

The last thing Cammie Morgan remembers is leaving the Gallagher Academy to protect her friends and family from the Circle of Cavan--an ancient terrorist organization that has been hunting her for over a year. But when Cammie wakes up in an alpine convent and discovers months have passed, she must face the fact that her memory is now a black hole. The only traces left of Cammie’s summer vacation are the bruises on her body and the dirt under her nails, and all she wants is to go home. 

Once she returns to school, however, Cammie realizes that even the Gallagher Academy now holds more questions than answers. Cammie, her friends, and mysterious spy-guy Zach must face their most difficult challenge yet as they travel to the other side of the world, hoping to piece together the clues that Cammie left behind. It’s a race against time. The Circle is hot on their trail and willing stop at nothing to prevent Cammie from remembering what she did last summer.


Gahh!!!! I finished the 4th book last year, in the summer sometime, and  I was like 'noooo!!!' I can't wait for this book!!


I'm also getting excited about Heist 3. :)

Project Tell Taylor post! < 3

Michelle Madow's debut novel Remembrance was inspired by Taylor Swift's "Love Story" music video. She talked all about it in a blog entry a few months ago, discussing how Remembrance was inspired by Taylor Swift's "Love Story" music video. She even wrote a letter to Taylor Swift and sent it to her, along with a signed book! 
It's been a few months now, and she has yet to hear back from Taylor that she received the letter and book. She really wants to tell Taylor about how inspiring she and her music have been to her, but since Taylor Swift is an international superstar, she’s a little hard to reach. This is where YOUR help comes into play! Michelle is giving away the biggest prize pack she's offered yet, and the ways to enter to win are by telling Taylor Swift about Remembrance.

The Goal: Get Taylor Swift to Tweet about Remembrance!

REMEMBRANCE Goodreads page

Lizzie Davenport has been reincarnated from Regency Era, England ... but she doesn't know it yet. 

Then Drew Carmichael transfers into Lizzie's high school at the beginning of the year, and she feels a connection to him, almost like she knows him. She can't stop thinking about him, but whenever she tries talking with him about the mysteries behind her feelings, he makes it clear that he wants nothing to do with her. Reaching him is even more difficult because she has a boyfriend, Jeremy, who has started to become full of himself after being elected co-captain of the varsity soccer team, and her flirtatious best friend Chelsea starts dating Drew soon after his arrival. So why can't she get him out of her mind? 

Even though Lizzie knows she should let go of her fascination with Drew, fighting fate isn't going to be easy.

What inspires me? Good books, true love and country songs. It also inspires me, that selfpublished authors jump in there, and get their book known. And they don't give up. <3 Taylor Swift also inspires me, her songs are amazing, and she WROTE them. And that's just like writing a book, just shorter, but it still takes work.
