Stacking the Shelves (#23): The Black Friday Edition

Meme hosted by Tynga’s Reviews where I post all the bookish things I’ve received/purchased either physical or e-book.

It’s been a while since my last post for this meme… I’m sorry guys! Hopefully after this semester maybe I can do a catch up post? We will see! I have gotten a lot of books since then, but since I’ve gotten so many, I’m only going to do the ones from the past week or so. I did make a Black Friday Book Outlet order, but that was yesterday and the books haven’t shipped yet. So I will do a haul once I get those.

Black Friday Half Price Books Haul ($35!!!!!)

I also bought another book (which was originally $15.99 there), but it actually wasn’t for me… It’s for my sister for Christmas! So basically her book was free! You had to spend $50 to get $15 off plus for the Black Friday deal, the first 100 people get a tote bag and each person (but one) gets a $5 coupon. The lucky one person gets $100… Sadly I wasn’t that one. But a total of $20 off!? That’s a GREAT deal!

My Book Outlet Order due to anxiety with wisdom teeth removal and school:

I can’t remember how much I spent, but it was around $65 I believe. Plus I had one of those spend $35 or more and get $5 off! This was a freaking deal!!!!! Book Outlet is seriously amazing! This is definitely my biggest and most expensive haul from them, and I don’t regret it at all! I REALLY needed this haul… I was so incredibly stressed out from the wisdom teeth removal (which went well, still recovering over 2 weeks later, but getting there!) and just overall stress from school. So it was highly needed!

Waiting on Wednesday (#44): Breaking the Rules by Katie McGarry

Waiting on Wednesday is a meme created by Breaking the Spine in which on Wednesdays you post a book that you are waiting to be released.

GUYS WE GET MORE ECHO AND NOAH! I’M SO BEYOND EXCITED! I ADORED THOSE  2 AND I’M SO EXCITED KATIE MCGARRY IS CONTINUING THEIR STORY!!!!!! :D

Breaking the Rules by Katie McGarry
Series: Pushing the Limits #1.5
Publishing by: Harlequin Teen on December 8th 2014
Genre: Contemporary, Contemporary Romance, Realistic Fiction, Young Adult
Pages: 304

A summer road trip changes everything in this unforgettable new tale from acclaimed author Katie McGarry

For new high school graduate Echo Emerson, a summer road trip out west with her boyfriend means getting away and forgetting what makes her so… different. It means seeing cool sights while selling her art at galleries along the way. And most of all, it means almost three months alone with Noah Hutchins, the hot, smart, soul-battered guy who’s never judged her. Echo and Noah share everything — except the one thing Echo’s just not ready for.

But when the source of Echo’s constant nightmares comes back into her life, she has to make some tough decisions about what she really wants — even as foster kid Noah’s search for his last remaining relatives forces them both to confront some serious truths about life, love, and themselves.

Now, with one week left before college orientation, jobs and real life, Echo must decide if Noah’s more than the bad-boy fling everyone warned her he’d be. And the last leg of an amazing road trip will turn… seriously epic.

 

I’m so excited, yet so nervous about this book! I know it’s a love story and typically the couples stay together… But that synopsis makes me nervous! SO EXCITED FOR MORE ECHO AND NOAH THOUGH!!! :D :D

Release Day Blitz: Interception by Morgan Black

Purchase on Amazon: http://amzn.to/1xsNlmS

Lena is alone. After having three boys fight for her heart she has royally screwed it all up and is left broken and lost.

Now there is competition. Lena knows what she wants, and she’ll kill Harli to get it.

Wedding bells are ringing and Lena won’t go alone. She’ll have a date. Her date.

That b*tch is going down.

Excerpt

“Get out of my face.” I wanted to spit on her. I knew it would be gross, but I wanted to do that more than anything. Teach her a lesson.

She didn’t move. “Why? Just so you can mess with Blake some more? You know some of us are a little tired of your shit Lena.”

“Back up Harli. I only wanted to talk to Blake. Nothing else.”

She rolled her eyes. “It starts with a conversation. Then it’s always more.”

I swirled the spit in my mouth and swallowed it. She was right. I did want more.

I sat on the sand crying, the black fabric swirling around me like my secrets once had. I thought the truth would set me free, instead it swam around me threatening to drown me with every breath.

Music Mondays (#5): Walking Disaster by Jamie McGuire + Luke Bryan

Music Monday is a weekly meme started by Athena @Total Book Geek. For the meme, you find a book/scene in a book and match it with a song; and trying to avoid spoilers.

Hey guys! OHH DEAR LORD! My all time favorite new adult/contemporary and my babe- Luke Bryan! IT CAN’T GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT!!!!:D

The instructions are very simple in how you do this meme.. Just choose a book or a scene from a book and match it with a song and explain why you chose the 2!

This week I’m featuring:

Walking Disaster by Jamie McGuire
Series: Beautiful #2
Publishing on: April 2nd 2013
Genre: Contemporary, New Adult, Romance
Pages: 448

Finally, the highly anticipated follow-up to the New York Times bestseller Beautiful Disaster. Can you love someone too much? Travis Maddox learned two things from his mother before she died: Love hard. Fight harder. In Walking Disaster, the life of Travis is full of fast women, underground gambling, and violence. But just when he thinks he is invincible, Abby Abernathy brings him to his knees. Every story has two sides. In Beautiful Disaster, Abby had her say. Now it’s time to see the story through Travis’s eyes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’m matching this beautiful book with Do I by Luke Bryan:

 

I wanna cry… This song just makes me want to cry. I adore this song and have for years! IT’S LUKE BRYAN FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!! <333333 But basically this is Travis wanting Abby back after everything that’s going on and her dating Parker. Travis is a one-night-stand, no dating type of guy, but Abby isn’t. She knows all Travis wants is just sex and no relationship, so she goes to second best, Parker… Well, they both know they have feelings for each other.. That much is obvious.. So this song is basically him wanting Abby back. :) Here’s a snip of the lyrics:

Do I turn you on at all when I kiss you baby?
Does the sight of me wanting you drive you crazy?
Do I have your love? Am I still enough?
Tell me, don’t I? Or tell me, do I, baby

What do you guys think? Agree? Disagree? What are some songs you would have chosen? Let’s talk about it down below! :D (or fangirl about the book or Luke Bryan ;) )

See you guys next week!

Release Day Blitz: Bulletproof by Melissa Pearl

 

Bulletproof by Melissa Pearl

Release Day Blitz

November 20, 2014

Morgan Pritchett doesn’t need anyone. Strong-willed and confident, she’s the master of organizing and looking after everyone around her. In her mind, she’s bulletproof. But she has one weakness – men. She can’t seem to live without them, yet is unable to find her perfect match. After yet another break up, Morgan promises her sister and best friend that she’ll write off men for the rest of the year. But then she meets Sean Tate.

Sean Tate has worked hard to become a Hollywood actor, scoring minor roles and slowly making a name for himself as an action sidekick. After a chance encounter with the stunning Morgan Pritchett, he decides to take a risk and put his dancing skills to the test by signing on for the lead role in Superstar, a TV musical. He never thought he’d reconnect with the girl who urged him to ignore his manager and be honest with himself, but when Morgan shows up on the set as a production assistant, he realizes he’s found his ultimate weakness — her.

Their passion for dance and music will bring them together, but will their relationship be able to withstand the forces determined to pull them apart? As Morgan comes face to face with her demons and Sean decides just how much he’s willing to risk for love, these two lovers discover something… they’re not as bulletproof as they thought.

Music Mondays (#4): The Edge of Never by J.A. Redmerski + Eli Young Band

Music Monday is a weekly meme started by Athena @Total Book Geek. For the meme, you find a book/scene in a book and match it with a song; and trying to avoid spoilers.

Hey guys! This meme is A LOT of fun, probably my favorite to do honestly! I really want to thank Athena for creating this tag!! My 2 favorite things and I get to talk about it- books and music! The instructions are very simple in how you do this meme.. Just choose a book or a scene from a book and match it with a song and explain why you chose the 2!

This week I’m featuring:

The Edge of Never by J.A. Redmerski
Series: The Edge of Never #1
Publishing on: November 13th 2012
Genre: Contemporary, Romance, Contemporary Romance, New Adult
Pages: 432

–The New York Times, USA Today, and Wallstreet Journal bestselling blockbuster–

Sometimes life takes you off course . . .

THE EDGE OF NEVER

Twenty-year-old Camryn Bennett thought she knew exactly where her life was going. But after a wild night at the hottest club in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina, she shocks everyone-including herself-when she decides to leave the only life she’s ever known and set out on her own. Grabbing her purse and her cell phone, Camryn boards a Greyhound bus ready to find herself. Instead, she finds Andrew Parrish.

Sexy and exciting, Andrew lives life like there is no tomorrow. He persuades Camryn to do things she never thought she would and shows her how to give in to her deepest, most forbidden desires. Soon he becomes the center of her daring new life, pulling love and lust and emotion out of her in ways she never imagined possible. But there is more to Andrew than Camryn realizes. Will his secret push them inseparably together-or destroy them forever?

The song I’m matching it with is Dust by Eli Young Band:

 

Oh, how I LOVE country music. I’m sorry for those that don’t like that kind of music.. But I will be comparing quite a handful of books with them. I’m sorry, but I just love country music! :D

THIS SONG FITS SO WELL! Camryn doesn’t want to live in the same town and be around the same people. She wants to travel the states and just let go! She meets Andrew on a bus and he wants to travel with her. Basically the song is just showing her want to get out of the state she’s in and just travel. :)

My feels for this book are so so strong! I adored Camryn and Andrew and this song just fits amazing well! Here’s a part of the lyrics:

She’s sick of this town, she’s sick of that boy
Yeah she’s sick of dreams that never take flight
There’s gotta be more than the same old story
So she’s gonna turn the page tonight
And turn the radio up (turn the radio up)
Roll the windows down
She got a full tank of gas (she got a full tank of gas)
Ain’t no stopping her now

What do ya’ll think? Do you agree? What are some songs you would have matched with this book? Let’s talk about it!!! :D

 

See you guys next week!

Dancing with the perfect partner is like the most exquisite climax of your life.

Can you feel it? The way our bodies rock together. My hands pinning you down, my mouth sliding over your hot, damp skin. Each hard thrust driving deep to that place you never dreamed possible. Every breathless cry hurtling you closer to the edge.

Beyond words. Beyond thought. Beyond reason.

Free.

I’d all but given up on perfection like that. Until I met her. Annalise.

Her body is pure motion; her spirit, a caged bird just waiting to be set free.

I will claim her. I will possess her.

I will teach her the most erotic dance of all.

*Part two of the sexy, seductive romance serial*

A man dances the same way he fucks. His stamina, his rhythm, the slow grind of his hips. Some people are born to it, others learn through years of careful study.

And dancers? We do it best of all.

The moment I saw her, I knew. Her innocence is intoxicating. My lust is fierce. Primal. To watch her dance is to know the torment of true temptation.

She will be mine.

Waiting on Wednesday (#42): ‘Til Death by Bella Jewel

Waiting on Wednesday is a meme created by Breaking the Spine in which on Wednesdays you post a book that you are waiting to be released.

Ohh dear lord this cover. I didn’t even read the description, and I wanted it! ;)

‘Til Death by Bella Jewel
Series: ‘Til Death #1
Publishing by: Self-Published on November 25th 2014
Genre: Contemporary, Contemporary Romance, Romance, Adult
Pages:

I married a douchebag.

It’s my own fault, really. He came in like a handsome stranger and blew me off my feet. I fell madly in love, like the naive girl I am.

Then he left me high and dry.

Turns out, I was nothing more than a business plan for billionaire playboy, Marcus Tandem. He needed to be married to obtain his grandfathers business, and I was the poor victim in his path. I thought we had something real, I believed it was special until the truth reared its ugly head.

I never meant anything to Marcus. Not a damned thing.

Five years on and my life has been a struggle. Left with nothing, I’ve had to work myself into the ground to clean up my debts and take care of my sick mother, as well as trying to divorce a man that refuses contact with me.

Five years is a lot of time to plot the perfect revenge.

What my dear husband didn’t count on, is that fact that I was smarter than I looked. After all, what married couple doesn’t take out a life insurance policy? If he dies. I get five million dollars.

Of course, Marcus doesn’t know about it.

One drunken night just after I left made sure of that. My mother is unwell, she can’t pay for treatment. And I’m a bitter woman. I’ve been the joke of Marcus Tandem for five years while I’ve formed the perfect plan. Now it’s my turn.

I have to kill him.

Oh yes, Marcus will pay for what he did. I made a vow before God, that I would be by his side ‘Til death do we part.

I plan to keep that vow.

Okay, this book sounds intense and extremely good! I hope I’ll like it. I mean now really… That cover though… ;) Can’t wait to read this!
