So, if you read my blog often you know I love Anderson's Bookshop in Naperville (outside of Chicago). Right now, they're running a Pre Publication event with author Veronica Roth who's book Divergent comes out in May. The actual author event is in February but I have the ARC now and am reading it. Of course I'll post a full review when I'm finished, but, if you want to hear my thoughts as I think them, head over to my twitter account where I'll be tweeting after each chapter with minimal spoilers but many things that won't make sense if you haven't read the book.

Lovely Loves ~ Misfits

Recently, I've been hooked on the British show Misfits and thought I would share my love for it with you. The show follows a group of five young offenders serving community service, only on their first day a storm rolls through town and leaves things different from what they were before. The five slowly learn they have powers they can't control, and they aren't the only ones.

A brilliant plot line, though it does slow down a bit during the second season, Misfits is a show I can't wait for the third season of. Yes, because the show is British, there is swearing and sex which I can get past in the name of a good series. All episodes are available via youtube for those of us who don't live overseas.

Sapphique by Catherine Fisher
From page 195

Did she have no idea how to act in an ambush? Her horse was panicking; he took a deep breath and ran from cover, grabbing it by the bridle. "Get down!"

DARKEST MERCY Book Trailer

As the days grow closer and closer to the conclusion of the Wicked Lovely series, the only fairy series I have ever enjoyed, mind you, I thought I would share the trailer for the final book, Darkest Mercy.

Music Monday ~ The Notwist

This Music Monday is featuring a new group I recently found that I've fallen in love with because of their simple sound and the way the music just flows together. You can take a listen to The Notwist's Off the Rails below.

Cover Reveal ~ THE POWER OF SIX

Here you go, I Am Number Four fans. The cover for the sequel, The Power of Six! I love that it coordinates with the first cover. Very pretty and eye catching, perhaps more than the first. Let me know your comments!

Infinite Days by Rebecca Maizel
From page 20

"When Vicken digs up the grave and discovers an empty casket he will search the earth for you. As you've said yourself, the magic that binds the coven has made it so."
