THE BOOKS!

Girl Online by Zoe Sugg
(Buy Links: Indigo | Amazon )

From YouTube sensation Zoella comes a debut coming-of-age novel that perfectly captures what it means to grow up and fall in love in today's digital world. "Girl Online "is the first book to be published by Keywords Press, an imprint under Simon & Schuster dedicated to today's digital stars. "I have this dream that, secretly, all teenage girls feel exactly like me. And maybe one day, when we realize that we all feel the same, we can all stop pretending we're something we're not... But until that day, I'm going to keep it real on this blog and keep it unreal in real life."

Penny has a secret. Under the alias GirlOnline, Penny blogs her hidden feelings about friendship, boys, high school drama, her crazy family, and the panic attacks that have begun to take over her life. When things go from bad to worse, her family whisks her away to New York, where she meets Noah, a gorgeous, guitar-strumming American. Suddenly Penny is falling in love--and capturing every moment of it on her blog. But Noah has a secret, too, one that threatens to ruin Penny's cover--and her closest friendship--forever.

Fiendish by Brenna Yovanoff
(Buy Links: Indigo | Amazon)

Clementine DeVore spent ten years trapped in a cellar, pinned down by willow roots, silenced and forgotten.

Now she’s out and determined to uncover who put her in that cellar and why.

When Clementine was a child, dangerous and inexplicable things started happening in New South Bend. The townsfolk blamed the fiendish people out in the Willows and burned their homes to the ground. But magic kept Clementine alive, walled up in the cellar for ten years, until a boy named Fisher sets her free. Back in the world, Clementine sets out to discover what happened all those years ago. But the truth gets muddled in her dangerous attraction to Fisher, the politics of New South Bend, and the Hollow, a fickle and terrifying place that seems increasingly temperamental ever since Clementine reemerged.

Now and For Never by Lesley Livingston
(Buy Links: Indigo | Amazon)

Past and present collide on the high seas when Clare and Allie hurtle back in time once more in a perilous attempt to retrieve Marcus Donatus—Allie’s blast-from-the-past crush—and put an end, once and for all, to the Time Monkey Shenanigans. But when Clare and Allie unexpectedly find themselves temporal stowaways on a Roman warship full of looted Celtic gold, sailing straight for the heart of a magic-fuelled maelstrom, there’s not much they can do but hang on for the ride—and hope Milo can tap into the Druid lore trapped in his genius brain to help bring them home, before it’s too late. The only thing that’s going to save Clarinet Reid and Allie McAllister now is if they join forces with old enemies, new loves … and unexpected friends.

Winter's Kiss by Jennifer Echols
(Buy Links: Indigo | Amazon)

Cozy up to a double dose of winter-themed romantic comedy with two books in one bind-up.
 
Lexi has come up with a master plan to make Cameron break up with her: get him to fall for another girl so she’ll be free (and guilt-free, too). But when the plan goes well—too well—Lexi starts to wonder if she hasn’t made a terrible mistake. Has she let the perfect guy get away? And is it too late to get him back?

Meanwhile, Hayden and Nick’s steamy relationship has ended in a frosty breakup, and now they’re just friends. But when they decide to go head-to-head in a boarding contest, the friendly competition gets heated….Will sparks start to fly on and off the slopes?

Wings by Elizabeth Richards
(Buy Links: Indigo | Amazon)

Following the cliffhanger ending of Phoenix, Natalie finds herself separated from Ash and unexpectedly reunited with her parents, including the father she thought was dead. But she can only think of Ash. She hasn't heard a word of him since she and Elijah were brought to the underground headquarters of the Sentry Rebellion. But she vows to find him.

Ash, meanwhile is back in Black City; it's the perfect place to hide from the Sentry government. But not for long. He won't give up on Natalie or bringing an end to the terrible reign of Purian Rose.

A pulse-racing end to an exciting series.

Well, that's my bookish wishlist, what's on yours this year?

Finals, Christmas Holidays, and some upcoming Giveaway Hop news! :)

Well, hello, hello, long time no talk.

So I've been pretty busy lately with the end of the school semester coming up, and finals within the next week or so. I haven't had much time for blogging, which is why I've been trying to get a couple memes up every week, that way you guys know I'm still here. :)

Sorry if you've been missing me. But, I'm probably going to be pretty busy for the next couple weeks too,  but I'm going to try and write a couple reviews so that it won't be a totally empty week.
I'm also here to announce some giveaway hops that I plan on participating in during the next couple of months! So make sure you stop by the blog to enter those when the time comes because I plan on all of them being international!
I haven't decided what I'm giving away on any of them yet, but I know it'll be books, I'll make a sneak peak post once I decide on prizes :D

These pictures are just to make this part of the post more fun, and I totally watched The Little Mermaid today :)

Ok, so the first one I'm planning on participating in is called the 2011 New Year's Smash Blog Hop and it's hosted by Babs at The World of Book Reviews, it'll run from January 1st to the 3rd, with winners being posted on the 4th. If you want to sign up for this one too you've got until December 27th.

---

The next giveaway hop I'm participating in is the Dreaming of Books Giveaway Hop hosted by I Am A Reader, Not A Writer and  Reviews By Martha’s Bookshelf. It runs from January 14th to the 17th. If you're interested in signing up for this giveaway hop you've got until January 9th.

---

And the last giveaway hop that I'm participating in is the Valentine's Day Books With Love Giveaway Hop hosted by Once Upon a Twilight and Good Choice Reading. It runs from February 14th to the 16th. And if you want to sign up to host a giveaway on this hop you've got until January 31st.

So those are the giveaways that you can expect from me for the next couple of months, oh and also a possible CSN gift code giveaway, not sure when that will be though. I'm gonna go read some more though because I don't have much time before I have to start massively studying for my Russian final. haha

Happy Reading Everyone!!! And Happy Holidays too! :)
