• 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!)

My Teasers

Patch looked like he was trying not to crack a grin. "That's it? No punches? No biting, clawing, or hair pulling?"

I narrowed a look at him. 

"Are we going to have to teach you how to fight, Angel?"

"I can fight." I tipped my chin up in spite of my lie.

"I love how you look at me."

"And how's that?" I asked, blushing on cue. 

His lower lip curled in that mischievous way it did. 

"Like you're having a hard time deciding between my lips and this blueberry pie. And I know nothing comes between you and this pie."

I giggled. "Very observant. Wonder which one will win?"

Book Trailer: The Gathering by Kelley Armstrong

The trailer for the book The Gathering by Kelley Armstrong came out on April 2! I had no idea they were actually going to make a trailer with living people! (Have no idea how else to describe it)

I'm so super excited about this book. When I read the synopsis for it, it sounded interesting and loving every book I've read from her I knew I was going to like this one too. But the trailer makes the book more fun! Just by it you can see and guess so many things!

It may be just me but most book trailers with actual actors and everything, I find them bad but this one actually has good actors in it. 

The book comes out on April 12 and can't wait to get my hands on it.

So enjoy, and tell me what you think. Do you like the trailer? Excited about her new book?

Thoughts: Beastly MOVIE

I went to see Beastly last Sunday and it was nothing like I was expecting it to be. I read the book almost a year before so I was a bit fuzzy over some details of the book but most part of the story was alternated. The movie was different from the book in a lot of things.

But during the movie I forgot the book and got absorbed in it. Even though it was changed a lot I liked it more that I would normally (I just hate it when they change things from the book). I would totally say go see it even though it's different from the book. I think it's the first movie that I liked even though it was changed so much.

Wathing this movie and have already seen I Am Number Four, I realized that I don't want Alex Pettyfer for Jace in the upcoming movie of City of Bones, The Mortal Instruments. He looks great for Jace but it's just that, he looks like Jace. 

So, what did you think about the movie? Liked it? Loved it? Hated it?

You can find my review on the book here.

Follow Friday (7) & Book Blogger Hop (7)

Follow Friday is hosted by Parajunkee's View.

This week's question is:

Inspired by the inane twitter trend of #100factsaboutme, give us five BOOK RELATED silly facts about you.

1) The books on my bookcase currently are categorized by genre, then author's last name.

2) I love taking down the books from by bookcase and organizing them differently or even the same way. I love to organize others bookcases!

3) When I'm really excited for a book or sequel then before reading or while reading, I steal a few glances in the ahead chapters. Sometimes I get it spoiled but most of the time I love the book so much that I don't care.

4) When I read I hate to be interrupted and if someone tries, then usually ends up talking to the wall because I'm too absorbed to even comprehend what I'm being told.

5) I keep buying more books I can read in a year. So far I have close 100 books that are waiting on my bookcase and I keep saying that I don't have any book to read.

Book Blogger Hop is hosted by Crazy-for-Book.

This week's question is:

If you could physically put yourself into a book or series…which one would it be and why?

Wow... there are so many worlds I would love to get into.

My first choice would be the Harry Potter Series. This was my first read ever and loved it. I still remember counting the days until the next release of each book.

I started reading this book when I was 10 and waited for that letter a couple of years until I had to give up. I didn't have a fireplace but now I do! So it would be fantastic to get that letter. Having a wand and casting a spell to clean the house, or the classes I would take in Horwards! So much interesting.

Top Ten Tuesday (4): Top 10 Bookish Pet Peeves

This week's topic:

Top Ten Bookish Pet Peeves

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly event hosted by The Broke and Bookish.

My Top 10 Bookish Pet Peeves

1) What I hate the most is the stickers that bookstores use on sales! Most of the time the stickers end up on the front cover but there are cases where they are on the back cover and I can't read the synopsis! It's a challenge to try to get them off without damaging the book.

2) Books with bent covers, cracked spines, etc. I have a thing and I want my books to be in the best condition as possible. That's why I prefer hardcovers over paperbacks. They last longer. And don't me even get started about mass paperbacks where the spine cracks so easily. How am I supposed to read it and maintain it in a good condition?


3) Starting a series in paperback format and then getting the next one in hardcover because the paperback release is a year after the hardcover. I never understood this time difference.


4) People who judge a book without reading it first. Example: Twilight. There are a lot of people who really said nasty things to me just because I have read this series. You can't judge a person by the book he/she is reading more less the book itself. Pick it up, read it and then say your opinion on it. The movie has nothing to do with the book.


5) Instant love. I don't like when the romance between two characters starts right away. It isn't realistic. I prefer to be a built up of emotions between them before they run away into the sunset. 


6) The so gorgeous/model like/god like and yada yada guy. The pattern is the same. In most YA books the love interested is that perfect creature that the heroine can't live without because he's so dazzling. I mean come on! Nobody is that perfect!


7) Books turned into movies, and their original covers get replaced by the movie poster.


8) Whiny characters. Enough said.


9) Book reviewers/bloggers that seem to love every single book they are reading. They don't everything they read and I would like to be able to their different opinions. When I see that I don't trust them on book suggestions. There is no way they like everything. 


10) Messy bookshelves. I'm an organised/clean freak and I can't look at a bookshelf fulled with books all over the place. At least alphabetize them!


11) OK, so I have 11 pet peeves but I needed to add this. Authors trying to portrait teenage characters as those stupid and totally immature people so they can justify their actions. Just because they are young it doesn't mean they are immature. Many of them are very mature for their age.


What are your Bookish Pet Peeves?
