BEA 2014, Here I Come (in gif form)!!!!

   Hello lovelies, 

   So, in case you can't tell by my title, I am excited about BEA! So SO excited. 

Does that mean that in my excitement I am all ready to go? That would be a definite no. I have one outfit in my suitcase. Maybe. 
   But that's besides the point because it's BEA time and I'M READY!

   Now, if you're going, I WANT TO SEE YOU!

   In case you missed it, I have a signing:

        Friday, May 30th       1:00-2:00pm        Location: Table 3005

   I'll be signing copies of Falling by Design and talking about my new book, if you're into that kind of a thing. 

                                                 
   I'm so excited to have the opportunity to go and meet all the wonderful bookish people. If you're around, come say hi! I'll probably be the one giddy with glee, walking (or skipping) around. Seriously, if you see me, DON'T BE SHY. Come say hi!!!

   Much love, 

   Valia 

Book Spotlight: The Dark World by Cara Lynn Shultz

   Paige Kelly is used to weird--in fact, she probably corners the market on weird, considering that her best friend, Dottie, has been dead since the 1950s. But when a fire demon attacks Paige in detention, she has to admit that things have gotten out of her league. Luckily, the cute new boy in school, Logan Bradley, is a practiced demon slayer-and he isn't fazed by Paige's propensity to chat with the dead. Suddenly, Paige is smack in the middle of a centuries-old battle between warlocks and demons, learning to fight with a magic sword so that she can defend herself. And if she makes one wrong move, she'll be pulled into the Dark World, an alternate version of our world that's overrun by demons-and she might never make it home.

   Paige hasn't had an easy life. She sees people no one else does, everyone thinks she's crazy, even her parents are more than concerned. Then, she gets attacked at school and the new kid, Logan is there to save the day and also to explain to Paige that she is definitely not crazy. And that's when the real fun begins. 
   You guys know I'm a huge fan of Cara's writing. There's just something about the way she tells her stories that are very fun to read. I like Paige as a main character. She's got some real issues she has to deal with throughout the book, especially when it comes to figuring out who she's supposed to be. There are some things that come into play, and I was thinking, yep, you go girl! I'm excited to see where Cara takes her next. I feel like there's a lot of potential in Paige's character. 
   Now, let's talk about Logan. Yay for an adorable good guy character! Seriously. I feel like there are so many bad boy characters out there (not that I mind. I LOVE me some bad boys). But I also LOVE me some good guys and Logan is all kinds of good. He's just genuine and I adore that. And I liked his and Paige's friendship. 
   Cara has created a great story, with interesting characters and a crazy world that I honestly do not want to live in. Ha. (Once you read it, you'll understand). And I really think you should read it! I look forward to more of Cara's books and can't wait to continue with this series. Dark World comes out May 27th! Get it, read it, love it!

   Happy reading,

Bout of Books 10.0 TBR!!!

   Hey there lovelies,

   So, I guess this is the year I try to participate in read-alongs. I've seen people's videos on YouTube about the Bout of Books read-a-thon but I've never participated before. I was also going to film a video, but since I've been a little under the weather, no one wants to see that. Ha.
   Anyway, I'm being a little ambitions. I'm planning on reading a total of 6 books this week, which is a big number for me. With work and finishing this book, I'm going to do my best, but I guess we'll see. I am off to a good start tho! I've already finished one book today.
   I'm going to go ahead and post a picture of my reading pile and then add the covers and goodreads links if you want to follow me and gauge my progress.
   Good luck to everyone participating! I'm excited!

   And the ebook I've already finished...

Such a cute read!! I need more of these stories in my life. 

If you click on the cover, it'll take you to the Goodreads page. 

So excited to finally read this book! Did you know this book has a soundtrack? Yes! Love that!

This book has been on my TBR for way too long. I got it for review and never read it. Look at that cover tho! So beautiful.

So basically everyone I know has read this book, but me. I'm on a huge contemporary kick right now and after reading On the Fence, I can't wait to get into this one! It sounds awesome!

Okay, I have no idea why I've waited this long to start this series. I LOVED Vampire Academy and been looking forward to this series for a while. And then it just kind of slipped through my fingers. I own the first two books, so it's about time I started it.

I really enjoyed book one and book three just came out a few days ago. I'm excited to dive back into this story and see how it resolves itself. I love me a good survival adventure.






So, that is it for me! What are you guys reading? Anyone else participating? Let me know!

I'll see you on the other side.


Much love,
Valia

The Warrior by Victoria Scott Release Day!!!

   Entangled Teen is excited to be announcing the release of Victoria Scott’s, The Warrior, the third and final book in the Dante Walker series, which readers are already raving about!

About The Warrior:

   War between heaven and hell is coming, but Dante Walker makes it look damn good.

   Dante’s girlfriend, Charlie, is fated to save the world. And Aspen, the girl who feels like a sister, is an ordained soldier. In order to help both fulfill their destiny and win the war, Dante must complete liberator training at the Hive, rescue Aspen from hell, and uncover a message hidden on an ancient scroll.

   Dante is built for battle, but even he can’t handle the nightmares where spiders crawl from Aspen’s eyes, or the look on Charlie’s face that foretells of devastation. To make matters worse, the enemy seizes every opportunity to break inside the Hive and cripple the liberators. But the day of reckoning is fast approaching, and to stand victorious, Dante will have to embrace something inside himself he never has before—faith.
