Review: Pushing the Limits


“I WON’T TELL ANYONE, Echo. I promise.”
Noah tucked a curl behind my ear. It had been so long since someone TOUCHED ME like he did. Why did it have to be Noah Hutchins?
His DARK BROWN EYES shifted to my covered arms. “You didn’t do that—did you? It was done to you?”
No one ever asked that question.
They stared.
They whispered.
They laughed.
BUT THEY NEVER ASKED.

Has it been a year already?!

Mary & I will be celebrating our very first blogiversary this month! HUGE giveaways will be announced. Titles from Jenny Han, Kami Garcia, M. Stohl, Lindsay Leavitt and more, PLUS they are all autographed! We were lucky to meet all of these awesome ladies this past year and have been hoarding these books just for you.

June 2011 - Starcrossed
Also, we will be seeing the lovely Josie Angelini at the B&N in The Grove LA. June 9th! Yes, you may of heard of her, she wrote books about that super hot guy we're all in love with? (cough) LUCAS DELOS!! mmmm...demigods...btw, LOVED Dreamless. I'll include with the review with the giveaway announcement. But if you're a true StarHeart and read it immediately when it came out, then you already know how awesome it is! I had major Lucas withdrawals and I kind of need book three ASAP. Just a quick side note, we also love Hector! We're going to get an autographed copy of Dreamless and give it away to one of our lucky followers who enter. 

And don't forget we still have our Be Brave (Insurgent by Veronica Roth) giveaway.

Thank you to all of our blog followers and friends we've met and "met" over the year. We're so blessed to know you all. :)

<3 jenn & mary.

YA or Bust Tour - Los Angeles


Mary and I drove clear across town to Children's Book World to meet three incredible ladies. We read online that Nina Lacour, Stephanie Perkins and Gayle Forman were appearing in LA for the YA or Bust Tour (Penguin) and our local YA author, Marie Lu was moderating.

Review: The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith

Who would have guessed that four minutes could change everything?

Today should be one of the worst days of seventeen-year-old Hadley Sullivan's life. She's stuck at JFK, late to her father's second wedding, which is taking place in London and involves a soon to be step-mother that Hadley's never even met. Then she meets the perfect boy in the airport's cramped waiting area. His name is Oliver, he's British, and he's in seat 18C. Hadley's in 18A. 

Twists of fate and quirks of timing play out in this thoughtful novel about family connections, second chances and first loves. Set over a 24-hour-period, Hadley and Oliver's story will make you believe that true love finds you when you're least expecting it.

Random Post

As everyone prepares for the holidays, finishes up their goodreads challenge goals, and tries to catch on reviews...I'd just like to thank anyone and everyone who has stopped by our blog. This is our seventh month blogging  and we honestly love it. Reading is such a huge part of our lives and we're so happy we get to share it with friends, family and virtual friends.

Giveaways, Book Festivals and Moreeee

Hi everyone!
I know it LOOKS like we've been MIA but it's totally the opposite. Mary and I have been attending author events, book festivals and reading up a storm the last month. This week I'll be posting pics and info from the last couple of events. Tonight, we'll be putting up the super easy entry form for Shatter Me (ARC) which is by the way, SUPER amazing!!
