Cover Reveal: The Summer I Became a Nerd by Leah Rae Miller

The Summer I Became a Nerd by Leah Rae Miller
Release Date: May 7th, 2013
Publisher: Entangled Teen

The Summer I Became a Nerd

Goodreads Summary:
On the outside, seventeen-year-old Madelyne Summers looks like your typical blond cheerleader—perky, popular, and dating the star quarterback. But inside, Maddie spends more time agonizing over what will happen in the next issue of her favorite comic book than planning pep rallies with her squad. That she’s a nerd hiding in a popular girl's body isn’t just unknown, it's anti-known. And she needs to keep it that way.

Summer is the only time Maddie lets her real self out to play, but when she slips up and the adorkable guy behind the local comic shop’s counter uncovers her secret, she’s busted. Before she can shake a pom-pom, Maddie’s whisked into Logan’s world of comic conventions, live-action role-playing, and first-person-shooter video games. And she loves it. But the more she denies who she really is, the deeper her lies become…and the more she risks losing Logan forever.

Review: Ironskin by Tina Connolly

Ironskin (Ironskin, #1)Ironskin by Tina Connolly
304 Pages
Release Date: October 2nd, 2012
Publisher: Tor Books
Genre: YA, Steampunk 
Rating: 2 STARS 

Goodreads Summary:
Jane Eliot wears an iron mask. 

It’s the only way to contain the fey curse that scars her cheek. The Great War is five years gone, but its scattered victims remain—the ironskin. 

When a carefully worded listing appears for a governess to assist with a "delicate situation"—a child born during the Great War—Jane is certain the child is fey-cursed, and that she can help. 

Teaching the unruly Dorie to suppress her curse is hard enough; she certainly didn’t expect to fall for the girl’s father, the enigmatic artist Edward Rochart. But her blossoming crush is stifled by her own scars, and by his parade of women. Ugly women, who enter his closed studio...and come out as beautiful as the fey. 

Jane knows Rochart cannot love her, just as she knows that she must wear iron for the rest of her life. But what if neither of these things is true? Step by step Jane unlocks the secrets of her new life—and discovers just how far she will go to become whole again.

Waiting on Wednesday #9

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill of Breaking the Spine where you have a chance to let other know what you can’t wait to claim as your own.

This week's #WoW: Everbound by Brodi Ashton
                                Release Date: January 22nd, 2013
                                Publisher: Balzer+Bray/HarperCollins

Everbound (Everneath, #2)

Goodreads Summary:
Nikki Beckett could only watch as her boyfriend, Jack, sacrificed himself to save her, taking her place in the Tunnels of the Everneath for eternity — a debt that should’ve been hers. She’s living a borrowed life, and she doesn’t know what to do with the guilt. And every night Jack appears in her dreams, lost and confused and wasting away.
Desperate for answers, Nikki turns to Cole, the immortal bad boy who wants to make her his queen — and the one person least likely to help. But his heart has been touched by everything about Nikki, and he agrees to assist her in the only way he can: by taking her to the Everneath himself.

Nikki and Cole descend into the Everneath, only to discover that their journey will be more difficult than they’d anticipated — and more deadly. But Nikki vows to stop at nothing to save Jack — even if it means making an incredible sacrifice of her own.
In this enthralling sequel to Everneath, Brodi Ashton tests the bonds of destiny and explores the lengths we’ll go to for the ones we love.


I totally miscounted the number of #WoWs I had so hopefully by the end of this week all the #WoW will be numbered correctly. So just ignore the duplicate numbers. But I realy, really want to read this book!!!! The cover's just gorgeous and Brodi Ashton just had to leave the first one in a cliffhanger. Oh well, at least there's more anticipation!! I defintely recommend Everneath if you haven't read it yet!

Waiting on Wednesday #8


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill of Breaking the Spine where you have a chance to let other know what you can’t wait to claim as your own.

This week's #WoW: Timekeeper (Timeless #2) by Alexandra Monir
                                Release Date: January 8th, 2013
                                Publisher: Delacorte Books for Young Readers

Goodreads Summary:

Timekeeper (Timeless, #2)When Philip Walker appears as a new student in Michele Windsor's high school class, she is floored. He is the love she thought she lost forever when they said goodbye during her time travels last century. Overjoyed that they can resume the relationship they had a lifetime ago, Michele eagerly approaches him and discovers the unthinkable: he doesn't remember her. In fact, he doesn't seem to remember anything about the Philip Walker of 1910.

Michele then finds her father's journals, which tell stories of his time-traveling past. As she digs deeper, she learns about his entanglement with a mysterious and powerful organization called the Time Society and his dealings with a vengeful Windsor ancestor. Michele soon finds herself at the center of a rift over 120 years in the making, one whose resolution will have life-or-death consequences.

Alexandra Monir's Timekeeper combines breathtaking romance with a tale of complex magic in a sequel that will have every reader believing in the transcendent power of love.


The first book most definitely ended with a cliffhanger and me wanting for more.

     I stare blankly. (Page 166)

     "He does?" I ask. "And what else does he say?"
      She screws her lips to her nose, thinking. "That your eyes are like bits of sky seen through the leaves. And that, like the rain washes the mud from the leaves, you...how did he say it? Oh, yes. That you wash the darkness from the world."
"He...said that?" Now I'm the one turning red. (Page 180)

Goodreads Summary:
Combining breathless romance, dark family secrets, and cinematic action, After Daybreak will keep readers turning pages late into the night. The Darkness Before Dawn series is a unique blend of paranormal and dystopian fiction that is perfect for fans of Christopher Pike’s Thirst novels and the House of Night series. 

Dawn returns from L.A. with terrifying news: In his greed for power, the maniacal Day Walker Sin is raising an army and infecting his followers with the Thirst—a rabieslike disease that will turn them into mindless killers. To stop him, Dawn and Victor will have to convince humans and vampires to work together before it’s too late.

My, my!! All of these covers look awesome...however I haven't read Venom by Fiona Paul and Darkness Before Dawn by J.A London. BUT it's only because I have waaay too many books on to read with little time. My favorite has to be With All My Soul by Rachel Vincent, I mean come on look at that gorgeous gold dress on there!! I have grown attached to all the characters in her books especially this series. I really will miss this series once it has ended. For those of you who have't read it yet... Shame on you!! Why are you still reading this?? GO check out her book ;).
Anyways! I would love to hear any of your thoughts on any of these covers, so COMMENT below!!
