Worldwide Covers #2: Pure

Cover Reveal + Giveaway: Tainted by Lynn Rush

I am very pleased to be involved in the cover reveal for the third installment in Lynn Rush's Wasteland series. The cover is absolutely beautiful, but I will just stop typing now so you can all see that for yourself... Ta-daa! I love the red against the snow, personally....

Cover Judging #2 + Cover Reveal: Blood of Eden series by Julie Kagawa

The publishers of the Blood of Eden series have designed new covers for Julie Kagawa's vampiric dystopian series, Blood of Eden. The new covers looks great, and I am excited for them, but I do understand why some fans of the series are concerned about the new cover designs....

Book Haul #3: December 2012

No video for this one, unfortunately, as the camera I usually use has no working batteries to use. Perhaps I'll do one later, but for now, a text blog post will have to suffice. It was employee appreciation weekend at my work, and, well, I took full advantage. I could...

Cover Judging aka Book Cover OCD

When it comes to book covers, I am a very picky person. For example, if I am going to buy a book series, I like their covers to match. Shatter Me is coming out with new covers, so even though I had the original cover, I got the new one so that my collection would match. You...

I Am Not Dead

I'm not dead, I promise! Things have become really busy for me, and while I've been reading and have some books I could write reviews on, there have been others things I've needed to work on. NaNoWriMi, for example. I've been getting more hours at my new job, and with the holiday season upon us, work's...

Waiting on Wednesday #10

This week I am waiting on a sequel to a book I wrote a review on here. Now while it was not one of my favourites, I am still very curious to see where the sequel will take us. The premise is interesting and the sequel has promise. I had no idea the cover and title had...

NaNoWriMo Day 1 Log

Happy NaNoWriMo, everyone! 1:25pm Today started off like any usual day off. I slept in. I'm a night person, but the past two days I've been waiting up at 6 and 7 am for work, and two early mornings is not enough for my body to adjust. I don't nap, so I've been going to bed late because once it hits...

NaNoWriMo: The Preparation

This year I am participating in National Novel Writing Month, otherwise known as NaNoWriMo. I tried to do this a few years ago when I was not as serious about writing as I am now, and failed. I do not remember how many words I managed to get done, but I was in high school and I think I just gave up...
