So, without further ado, here is out interview with Jamie! __________________ Some of us book pages have come together to celebrate the release of Embody, the sequel of Insight,  by the one, the only, Jamie Magee.

In My Mailbox is hosted by Kristi from The Story Siren. BOUGHT Paranormalcy by Kiersten White (Hardback) I adore this book. It is definitely one of my favourite books. EVER.

Follow Friday is hosted by Parajunkee from Parajunkee's View. How many books do you read in a week? And in what format do you read them, or listen to them? My answer:  Usually around 2 books a week during school time, but in the holidays I can read a book a day. Most of the books I read are print books, because I don't have a case for my Kindle so I can't take it to school everyday, but I do read Kindle books at the weekend sometimes :) I've never actually listened to an audio book before, I don't know why, I guess it's just that I would much rather read it myself, and imagine characters voices myself... :)  What about you? Leave a link to your FF in the comments :) 

Hi everyone, today I'm going to be interviewing Sarah from Puss Reboots :)   Tell us a little bit about yourself :) The best thing I can say is read Monday's post for Armchair BEA . The short version is I'm currently a library and information science student. I'm taking a completely online course. I'm also a freelance writer and a web designer. Name one book that you think everyone should read, and why? I'm going to go with a little known but excellent novel by a well known American author: The Marble Faun by Nathaniel Hawthorne. It's set in Italy in the mid-1800s but it reads like a modern day paranormal romance. If I could, I would put a copy of the book in everyone's hands. If you could spend the day in a book, which book would you choose and why? Check out my answer on last week's Book Blogger Hop: http://www.pussreboots.pair.com/blog/2011/comments_05/book_blogger_hop_may_20.html If you were only allowed to take 3 books wit...

Title: Forgotten Author: Cat Patrick Series: N/A Pages: 277 Publisher: Egmont Date of UK Publication: 6th June 2011 Source: Received free from publisher in exchange for an honest review Synopsis from Goodreads: Each night when 16 year-old London Lane goes to sleep, her whole world disappears. In the morning, all that's left is a note telling her about a day she can't remember. The whole scenario doesn't exactly make high school or dating that hot guy whose name she can't seem to recall any easier. But when London starts experiencing disturbing visions she can't make sense of, she realizes it's time to learn a little more about the past she keeps forgetting-before it destroys her future. My Thoughts: London Lane has a weird condition. Every night, at 4:33am, her brain resets itself, and she has no memory of her past. She cannot even remember little things, like what she wore the day before, or what she had for dinner. She can 'remember'...

Hey everyone, are you here for Armchair BEA? :) If you are, welcome to Cheezyfeet Books! My name is Bella, I'm 14, and I'm from the UK :) I wish I could go to BEA, but with school and BEA being in America, there was no chance :( Anyone else missing BEA in the UK? Let me know in the comments, and I'll be sure to go check out your blog! Or tweet me: @CheezyfeetBooks My preferred genres are, if you couldn't already tell, YA! :D I love anything YA, whether it's paranormal, contemporary, historical, sci-fi, whatever, I don't care :D Paranormal and Dystopian are my favourite though :) What about you?       Some of my favourite books are Paranormalcy by Kiersten White and Divergent by Veronica Roth, though I don't think either of those authors will be at BEA... I also love Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy series, and I've included a little about her new book Bloodlines below :) What am I excited about for BEA this year? Well, of course I'm loo...

In My Mailbox is hosted by Kristi from The Story Siren. FOR REVIEW: Passion by Lauren Kate (Manuscript from Random House) Super excited for this one! Started reading it though, and had no idea what happened in the first two books so I'm rereading Fallen and Torment so that I can read this one and remember everything that's going on properly :) Thanks Random House!

Title: Fallen Author: Lauren Kate Series: Fallen #1 Pages: 452 Publisher: Doubleday Date of UK Publication: 10th December 2009 Source: Bought Synopsis from Goodreads: There’s something achingly familiar about Daniel Grigori. Mysterious and aloof, he captures Luce Price’s attention from the moment she sees him on her first day at the Sword & Cross boarding school in sultry Savannah, Georgia. He’s the one bright spot in a place where cell phones are forbidden, the other students are all screw-ups, and security cameras watch every move. Even though Daniel wants nothing to do with Luce–and goes out of his way to make that very clear–she can’t let it go. Drawn to him like a moth to a flame, she has to find out what Daniel is so desperate to keep secret . . . even if it kills her. In this post, I'm just going to compare my thoughts from the first time I read it to the thought I have now after reading it a second time, so this isn't a review :) I read this b...

Title: The Girl in the Steel Corset Author: Kady Cross Series: Steampunk Chronicles #1 Pages: 336 Date of UK Publications: 17th June 2011 Source: NetGalley Synopsis from Goodreads: In 1897 England, sixteen-year-old Finley Jayne has no one…except the "thing" inside her. When a young lord tries to take advantage of Finley, she fights back. And wins. But no normal Victorian girl has a darker side that makes her capable of knocking out a full-grown man with one punch…. Only Griffin King sees the magical darkness inside her that says she's special, says she's one of them. The orphaned duke takes her in from the gaslit streets against the wishes of his band of misfits: Emily, who has her own special abilities and an unrequited love for Sam, who is part robot; and Jasper, an American cowboy with a shadowy secret. Griffin's investigating a criminal called The Machinist, the mastermind behind several recent crimes by automatons. Finley thinks she can hel...

Title: Flawless Author: Lara Chapman Series: N/A Pages: 256 Publisher: Bloomsbury Date of UK Publication: 3rd May 2011 Source: Publisher Synopsis from Goodreads: Sarah Burke is just about perfect. She's got killer blue eyes, gorgeous blond hair, and impeccable grades. There's just one tiny-all right, enormous-flaw: her nose. But even that's not so bad. Sarah's got the best best friend and big goals for print journalism fame. On the first day of senior year, Rock Conway walks into her journalism class and, well, rocks her world. Problem is, her best friend, Kristen, falls for him too. And when Rock and Kristen stand together, it's like Barbie and Ken come to life. So when Kristen begs Sarah to help her nab Rock, Sarah does the only thing a best friend can do-she agrees. For someone so smart, what was she thinking? This hip retelling of Cyrano de Bergerac is filled with hilariously misguided matchmaking, sweet romance, and a gentle reminder that we ...

Title: Anna and the French Kiss Author: Stephanie Perkins Series: Standalone Pages: 372 Publisher: Dutton Books Date of Publication: December 2nd 2010 Source: RAK from Mia from Gripped Into Books Synopsis from Goodreads: Anna is looking forward to her senior year in Atlanta, where she has a great job, a loyal best friend, and a crush on the verge of becoming more. Which is why she is less than thrilled about being shipped off to boarding school in Paris—until she meets Étienne St. Claire: perfect, Parisian (and English and American, which makes for a swoon-worthy accent), and utterly irresistible. The only problem is that he's taken, and Anna might be, too, if anything comes of her almost-relationship back home. As winter melts into spring, will a year of romantic near-misses end with the French kiss Anna—and readers—have long awaited? My Thoughts: I've been wanting to read this book for a very long time, as soon as it came out in December, but I just never...

In My Mailbox is hosted by Kristi from The Story Siren. FOR REVIEW: Flawless by Lara Chapman (Finished copy) Wasn't expecting this, so it was a lovely surprise, I can't wait to read it, and the cover is even more pretty :) Thanks to Bloomsbury for this one!  A Tangle of Magicks by Stephanie Burgis (Uncorrected Proof) Wasn't expecting this one, but so happy I've got it, I adored the first one, these books are so cute!

Title: Where She Went Author: Gayle Forman Series: If I Stay #2 Pages: 260 Publisher: Random House Date of UK Publication: April 28th 2011 Source: Borrowed from friend Synopsis from Goodreads: It's been three years since the devastating accident . . . three years since Mia walked out of Adam's life forever. Now living on opposite coasts, Mia is Juilliard's rising star and Adam is LA tabloid fodder, thanks to his new rock star status and celebrity girlfriend. When Adam gets stuck in New York by himself, chance brings the couple together again, for one last night. As they explore the city that has become Mia's home, Adam and Mia revisit the past and open their hearts to the future and each other. Told from Adam's point of view in the spare, lyrical prose that defined If I Stay, Where She Went explores the devastation of grief, the promise of new hope, and the flame of rekindled romance. My Thoughts: Where She Went continues the story from If I ...

Title: Starcrossed Author: Josephine Angelini Series: Starcrossed #1 Pages: 514 Publisher: HarperCollins (US)/MacMillan Children's (UK) Date of UK Publications: 3rd June 2011 Source: Publisher Synopsis from Goodreads: Set on the island of Nantucket, STARCROSSED tells the tale of Helen Hamilton, a young woman whose destiny is forever altered when she meets Lucas Delos and tries to kill him in front of her entire high school. Which is terribly inconvenient, not only because Lucas is the most beautiful boy on the island, but also because Helen is so achingly shy she suffers physical pain whenever she is given too much attention. Making matters worse, Helen is beginning to suspect she’s going crazy. Whenever she’s near Lucas or any member of his family she sees the ghostly apparitions of three women weeping bloody tears, and suffers the burden of an intense and irrational hate. She soon learns that she and Lucas are destined to play the leading roles in a Greek tragedy...

Title: Clarity Author: Kim Harrington Series: Clarity #1 Pages: 242 Publisher: Scholastic Point Date of UK Publication: 1st March 2011 Source: Bought Synopsis from Goodreads: When you can see things others can't, where do you look for the truth? This paranormal murder mystery will have teens reading on the edge of their seats. Clarity "Clare" Fern sees things. Things no one else can see. Things like stolen kisses and long-buried secrets. All she has to do is touch a certain object, and the visions come to her. It's a gift. And a curse. When a teenage girl is found murdered, Clare's ex-boyfriend wants her to help solve the case--but Clare is still furious at the cheating jerk. Then Clare's brother--who has supernatural gifts of his own--becomes the prime suspect, and Clare can no longer look away. Teaming up with Gabriel, the smoldering son of the new detective, Clare must venture into the depths of fear, revenge, and lust in order to tra...

Title: Bloody Valentine Author: Melissa de la Cruz Series: Blue Bloods (A Novella) Pages: 208 Publisher: ATOM (UK)/ Disney Book Grou Date of UK Publication: 20th January 2011 Source: Bought Synopsis from Goodreads: Vampires have powers beyond human comprehension: strength that defies logic, speed that cannot be captured on film, the ability to shapeshift and more. But in matters of the heart, no one, not even the strikingly beautiful and outrageously wealthy Blue Bloods, has total control. In Bloody Valentine, bestselling author Melissa de la Cruz offers readers a new story about the love lives of their favorite vamps - the passion and heartache, the hope and devastation, the lust and longing. Combined with all the glitz, glamour, and mystery fans have come to expect, this is sure to be another huge hit in the Blue Bloods series. My Thoughts: I love the Blue Bloods series, but I have to admit, it's been dragging a bit for me... There are too many complicated stor...
