Friday Book Blogger Hop!

Friday's Book Blogger Hop is hosted by Crazy For Books.

This week's question is:

"Summer is coming quickly - what 2011 summer release are you are most looking forward to?"

This is a super hard question for me. I'm anticipating so many good books and I have an extensive list of books to buy when they come out ha ha. But, if I had to pick one or two I would have to go with Passion by Lauren Kate and Die For Me by Amy Plum....and Forever by Maggie Stiefvater! Ok, that's it those three ha ha. I linked all three books to their goodreads pages so if you want to check them out, just click on them! : )

What books are you most excited for this summer? Don't forget to leave your links! : )

Happy Hopping!

Book trailers

I haven't posted since Tuesday-it's terrible, I know! And I feel awful...but I was in Canada visiting my family for a week for Easter. So I didn't get much time in to read because I was visiting. BUT now I am back in NY. Even though I have family coming to visit this weekend. I'm still hoping to be able to get some reading in and be able to keep up posting. Anyways, I missed the Waiting on Wednesday meme yesterday. And I like WoW and Friday's Book Blogger Hop, they are two of my favorite weekly events. So, I'm just going to share some awesome book trailers with you! : )

The first one is for the 'Dark Days of Supernatural-Summer Tour 2011'. I am anxiously awaiting ALL of these books. I read Hereafter already and reviewed it, but I'll probably still buy the actual copy of the book when it comes out. Anyways, here's the awesome trailer that showcases all of the books that I can't wait for! : )

My Sparkling Misfortune by Laura Lond

Reading Level: Young Adult

Paperback: 126 Pages

Publisher: Create Space

ISBN-13: 978-1460922361

My Rating: 5/5

Yes, you have guessed it: I am a villain. What? You wanted a noble hero? Well, tough. You've got the wrong book then. But let me tell you something before you put it down: there are no heroes without us villains. They'd have nothing to show off against. Besides, good boys do some wicked tricks as well, as you will see if you keep reading my story, and it takes some heroism to be a villain at times, too. I suppose you already know it though, if you're smart, which you have to be because I'm not writing this for silly people.

I absolutely loved this story! I can honestly say that I don't think I've ever read anything like it. Especially because it is from the villains point of view. I completely adored the story and characters. Even the "villain." Lond created a captivating tale full of suspense and humor. I think it would be an amazing book to anyone but particularly to a younger...young adult ha ha. Like, between 10 years and 13 especially.

'My Sparkling Misfortune' is a book about a book told through Lord Arkus, or the Lakeland Knight. He is the villain in the story, which is one thing that makes this book so different from anything else. Another thing that completely separates 'My Sparkling Misfortune' from any other like it, is the fact that Lord Arkus is writing his own book, which is the book you are reading. So, at some points, it's like he's commentating, which is really cool. I also love the cover picture and the pictures throughout the book. Every chapter has a picture at the very end depicting one event that happened within the chapter.

'My Sparkling Misfortune' is a great story. Lond writes with good humor and created awesome characters! I liked everything about the story. Especially the flip flop with the villains. It's definitely worth the read, which is why I gave it 5/5! I would suggest it to people who are fond of fairy tale type books. It's a quick, but cute, read and I hope that Lond will be writing more books like this one. I'll definitely be watching for more from her.

Hoppy Easter!!!

I normally would post a book review and/or my IMM but, it's Easter. So, I thought I'd make a post wishing all my fabulous followers a Happy Easter!!!! : )

For Easter this year, my family and I dyed Easter Eggs...even though were all grown up, it's still a tradition! ha ha. And today we are having a big Easter Dinner with ham, asparagus (YUM!), scalloped potatoes and all that yummy goodness!! : )

I would love to know what everyone else is doing for Easter! Are you doing an Easter Egg hunt? What are your Easter dinner plans? What is your favorite Easter tradition?

I hope everyone has an amazing Easter and there will be some good things to come on the blog soon!

Happy Easter everyone!!!!!!!!
