-COVER REVEAL-

Here it is!! Victoria Scott's new Tril starts out with Fire & Flood! I have got to say when I first laid eyes on this I was so taken away and left breathless. I think this cover is intense and really cool. This is a teen thriller and will be published by Scholastic, March 2014.

Here is the description taken off Victoria's website:

 

In a perilous race across the world, having the best Pandora can be the difference between life and death.

 

Sixteen-year-old Tella Holloway isn’t happy. Her mother rushed them out of Boston and into a craptastic house nestled in Middle of Nowhere, Montana. To make matters worse, Tella’s brother is sick, and though a dozen doctors can’t determine the cause, her mother is sure Montana’s “fresh air” will help. Now Tella spends her days being homeschooled, and uses her imagination as entertainment.

 

But when a small blue box appears on her bed, Tella’s world is rocked. Inside the strange package she finds a white ear bud—and after she fits it into place and touches its blinking button—an unknown voice fills her head. Tella is invited to join the Brimstone Bleed, a race across four ecosystems: desert, sea, mountains, jungle. The voice in Tella’s ear explains she has 48 hours to retrieve her Pandora, an animal genetically designed to help her win.

 

Tella has never been the sporty type; she’s more a cheerleader than an athlete. But despite her mother’s warnings, she’s determined to compete in the race. And she’ll do anything to win, because if Tella is the Brimstone Bleed victor, she’ll be granted a specific gift—the cure to save her brother’s life.

 

FIRE & FLOOD is a teen thriller set in modern day.

Can't Get It Out of My Head

Okay so have you every been so hooked on a book that you can't stop thinking about it? Yep that is me with Victoria Scott's The Collector. Ever since it's release in April I can not get away from it. I try reading something else but I just keep thinking about Dante, Charlie, Blue, Annabelle, Max, and Valery a.k.a. Red. Every other book it seems that I reread it. My two favorite things that make me think about The Collector are cats and bacon. Yeah if you haven't read the book you wouldn't understand, but both about Dante and both make me smile and laugh. It might sound as though I am obsessed. Well I like good books so I guess you can call me obsessed. One thing that I absolutely love the most, besides Dante of course, is that Victoria wrote this from Dante's POV. This is one of the things that sets it apart from the many, many books on my shelves. The more I read this awesome book the more I admire and fall in love with the details with in the writing. I write a whole novel on why I love and enjoy this wonderful book but I am going to encourage you to go out rent, buy, borrow, sneak-a-peek of this book. I am certain that you will enjoy it!!

In the mean time what is that one book that you've fallen in love with? What is that one book that you think about often and can't get out of your head?

My Kindle Fire HD

I am excited to say that I just got a Kindle Fire HD!! I love it! I was so excited when I got it from the UPS man :)

There are many reasons why I have chosen the Kindle Fire HD as my ereader. First, I have a Nook 1st gen. I do not like it and I am not particularly fond of B&N. I loved Borders before they went under and often bought books weekly. Now I only get books if B&N emails out coupons and if there is a book release from my favorite authors. In addition, I have seen many, many deals and ebook sales on amazon and hardly any on B&N. I also decided upon a Kindle Fire HD beacause it's a tablet too. I have put movies, music and of course books. I have no problems with my Kindle and I absolutely love it!! The loading speed is incredible! The speakers are phenomenal! They are loud and they do not at all sound bad turned all the way up.

I recommend  the Kindle Fire HD. It is fast, loud, and you can put anything  you'd need on it!
