IGNITE (a DEFY novel)!!!!!

Murder, abductions, and forbidden romance abound in this thrilling sequel to Sara B. Larson's acclaimed YA debut, DEFY.

 Alexa remains by the newly crowned King Damian’s side as his guard, ever committed to helping him rebuild Antion and reclaim the hope of Antion's people, despite continuing to harbor a secret love for him. However, when another threat to Damian and his kingdom emerges, and blame is cast on their newly forged allies from Blevon, Alexa knows things are not what they seem. With the fate of her nation hanging in the balance once again, will Alexa be able to protect her king and uncover the true enemy -- before it's too late?

Have you heard of BURN OUT yet? If not, oh boy are you in for a treat! Kristi is a fellow Valentine with me, and not only is she super cute and super smart and the nicest person ever, she's also SO talented. This book sounds incredible.

And guess what? Today is the day you get to see the cover!! 

Wait for it....

Wait for it....

Okay, here you go! Feast your eyes on this:

How awesome is that?? The colors, the girl, the title... it's just perfect. And that tagline... I love it like whoa. 

Intrigued yet? You should be. Here's the synopsis: 

Most people want to save the world; seventeen-year-old Tora Reynolds just wants to get the hell off of it. One of the last survivors in Earth's final years, Tora yearns to escape the wasteland her planet has become after the sun turns "red giant," but discovers her fellow survivors are even deadlier than the hostile environment.

Doesn't that sound so amazing? I can't wait to read this book and hold that hot little cover in my hands in April 8, 2014 when it's released. Congrats Kristi, I'm so so happy for you!!

To celebrate the release of her book, Kristi is hosting a giveaway  that runs until July 9th for a book of your choice AND a copy of DEFY THE DARK, an anthology of short stories by many incredible YA authors.

(In case you didn't know, blogger decided it hates my computer and I can't compose new posts anymore. UGH.) But SHH's computer works so I can tell you something I've been keeping a secret for a while:

I've been dying to share it with you all ever since I first saw it. I love it SO SO much. When I saw it the first time, I jumped up and down and screamed like a maniac. I was seriously THAT excited!! (and I scared my children thoroughly, haha!)

Double the Awesomeness

It's been a busy week for my amazingly talented friends, so you get a double helping of excitement in this post:

First up is the book launch for Ally Condie's final book in the MATCHED trilogy: REACHED!

 

 My friend Stacey (who runs the My Pile Of Books blog) and I went to dinner first to celebrate my signing with Josh--yummy food and a wonderful friend = so much fun!

 Then we headed up to the launch party for Ally's final book! Ally is such a humble, kind, amazing person. It was so surreal to stand there in line, staring at the box set of all THREE of her books, and thinking about how far she's come since I first met her four and a half years ago, when I got to read MATCHED for the first time. It couldn't have happened to a better person. So happy for you Ally, hope you have a great time on tour! For an awesome recap of the night, check out Stacey's blog post HERE.

 They even brought the big bubble from BEA for us to get our pictures in, so here we are, trying to break free!

 Oh no! The Society took Stacey, now I'm all alone in the Uprising! If you don't already follow Ally, here's the link to her blog as well.

Okay, so that was awesomeness part the first. Ready for the second??




Feast your eyes on this:

My friend Jenn Johansson's book cover got revealed today! Isn't it totally creeptastic?? Scary and yet beautiful (those eyes!) all at once. It's perfect! Congrats Jenn! To learn more about her book and to follow her (both of which you should do RIGHT NOW) go to her blog HERE.



And now, for anyone still reading this... a BONUS bit of awesomeness:

Yep, that's Michael Phelps. My hubby got to hang out and chat with him last week on a business trip. Rough life, huh? Yeah, I agree.


Any exciting awesomeness going on for you or your friends this week?

TRANSPARENT Cover love!!

You guys!

My friend, the amazingly talented, wonderful Natalie Whipple has given us all a reason to celebrate the fact that it's Monday. She gave us this:

Isn't it AMAZING???!?!!!!

This book is incredible (is it on your TBR pile yet? Have you pre-ordered it yet? NO?? GO. Do it. I promise you'll thank me!) and the cover is just perfect.

I'm so excited for you Natalie! I can't wait for you to get to share your awesome book with the world!

Ooooh and Aahhhhh!

So, have you heard of Kasie West yet? Let me refresh your memory :

She's the beautiful one in blue with the dimples. Love her!

If you aren't already, get your butt over to her blog pronto and start following. Then go HERE to see the cover for her amazing book PIVOT POINT.

The premise for this book is absolutely amazing. The cover is gorgeous. Like drool over it, wanna pet it, can't wait to own it and stare at it and pet it some more GORGEOUS. And the book itself? Even better. If you haven't added this one to your TBR yet, you'd better do it NOW.

Congrats Kasie!!
