"Waiting On" Wednesday(#5):Mila 2.0




"Waiting on Wednesday" is a meme created by Jill at Breaking the Spine that features books yet to be released that we're really looking forward to. This week my book is "Mila 2.0."
MILA 2.0 (MILA 2.0, #1)
Title:Mila 2.0
Author:Debra Driza
Released:March 12, 2013
Publisher:Katherine Tegen Books

From Goodreads:
Mila 2.0 is the first book in an electrifying sci-fi thriller series about a teenage girl who discovers that she is an experiment in artificial intelligence.

Mila was never meant to learn the truth about her identity. She was a girl living with her mother in a small Minnesota town. She was supposed to forget her past —that she was built in a secret computer science lab and programmed to do things real people would never do.

Now she has no choice but to run—from the dangerous operatives who want her terminated because she knows too much and from a mysterious group that wants to capture her alive and unlock her advanced technology. However, what Mila’s becoming is beyond anyone’s imagination, including her own, and it just might save her life.

Mila 2.0 is Debra Driza’s bold debut and the first book in a Bourne Identity–style trilogy that combines heart-pounding action with a riveting exploration of what it really means to be human. Fans of I Am Number Four will love Mila for who she is and what she longs to be—and a cliffhanger ending will leave them breathlessly awaiting the sequel.

Thoughts:
This sounds amazing, of course, since the description does the exact thing it is supposed to do: draw in the readers. The first thing that caught my attention when reading the desciption was: electrifying sci-fi thriller. I love sci-fi thrillers! I kinda really like all types of YA books, but sci-fi thriller is definitely on the top of the list. But, basically, the plot sounded very creative and the idea of it sounded great. So, that is my thoughts about the book! Also! I absolutely LOVE the cover.  It is just so creative and cool! I mean, there are pieces of her skin( I'm not sure how else to describe it) swirling around!

Cover Reveal: Belladonna

Belladonna (Secrets of the Eternal Rose, #2)
First reactions:
Gorgeous!!!

Here is the description:
The second book in the Secrets of the Eternal Rose trilogy.

Cassandra follows a trail of clues about the mysterious Order of the Eternal Rose to Florence. There she runs into a few familiar faces, including Falco, who is now working for a nine-fingered woman known as Belladonna. When Cass discovers Belladonna is involved in the Order, she won’t rest until she discovers the shadowy society’s true purpose, knowledge that will put her—and everyone she loves—in terrible danger.


Random thoughts:
I really have nothing else to say rather than...that the cover is BEAUTIFUL! I actually still haven't got to Venom, but it will be coming in the mail sometime in the next few weeks, so I am very excited to start devouring it! The cover of Venom is also very, very pretty with the mask and everything. Oh, also Venom just released today! So, go out and buy it!

"Waiting on" Wednesday(#2): Scarlet




"Waiting on Wednesday" is a meme created by Jill at Breaking the Spine that features books yet to be released that we're really looking forward to. This week my book is "Scarlet."
Scarlet (Lunar Chronicles, #2)
Title:Scarlet
Author:Marissa Meyer
Released:Febuary 2013
Publisher:Feiwel and Friends

From Goodreads:
Cinder returns in the second thrilling installment of the New York Times-bestselling Lunar Chronicles. She’s trying to break out of prison—even though if she succeeds, she’ll be the Commonwealth’s most wanted fugitive.

Halfway around the world, Scarlet Benoit’s grandmother is missing. It turns out there are many things Scarlet doesn’t know about her grandmother and the grave danger she has lived in her whole life. When Scarlet encounters Wolf, a street fighter who may have information as to her grandmother’s whereabouts, she has no choice but to trust him, though he clearly has a few dark secrets of his own.

As Scarlet and Wolf work to unravel one mystery, they find another when they cross paths with Cinder. Together, they must stay one step ahead of the vicious Lunar Queen who will do anything to make Prince Kai her husband, her king, her prisoner.

My thoughts: How could you NOT want to read this? Really, Cinder was one of the best books of 2012. I was so mad to find out the second book didn't come out until another WHOLE year! I was tearing at my hair in frustration! But, thankfully I have gotten over my rage. I think it's interesting how Marissa is entertwining two different people's lifes into one. I was only expecting it to be in Cinder's view so it just makes me want to read it all the more when I found out it was including a new narrator( with a new hottie to adore :D)! This is most  definetely going on my pre-order list soon! ( Just in case if nobody has read Cinder, I must demand you to read it soon!...just kidding, but really you must check it out and see if it's for you.( which it most likely is!))

Random Reads(#1)


Min.-1
Max.-213
Random Number-#60

So, the book I'm going to tackle this month is Uglies( I'm positive that about 95% of the people reading this, knows what this book is, since it is quite popular and is a bit old.)

Uglies (Uglies, #1)

Description( from Goodreads):
Tally Youngblood is about to turn sixteen, and she can't wait for the operation that turns everyone from a repellent ugly into a stunningly attractive pretty and catapults you into a high-tech paradise where your only job is to party. But new friend Shay would rather hoverboard to "the Smoke" and be free. Tally learns about a whole new side of the pretty world and it isn't very pretty. The "Special Circumstances" authority Dr Cable offers Tally the worst choice she can imagine: find her friend and turn her in, or never turn pretty at all. The choice Tally makes changes her world forever.

I'm actually quite excited to read this and it has been on my TBR list for a while now!

"Waiting On" Wednesday(#1): The Nightmare Affair

"Waiting On" Wednesday:  The Nightmare Affair




"Waiting on Wednesday" is a meme created by Jill at Breaking the Spine that features books yet to be released that we're really looking forward to. This week my book is "The Nightmare Affair."
The Nightmare AffairTitle:The Nightmare Affair
Author:Mindee Arnett
Released:2013
Publisher:Tor Teen
 
From Goodreads:
 
16-year-old Dusty Everhart breaks into houses late at night, but not because she’s a criminal. No, she’s a Nightmare. Literally. Dusty is a magical being who feeds on human dreams.

Being the only Nightmare at Arkwell Academy, a boarding school for magickind, and living in the shadow of her mother’s infamy is hard enough. But when Dusty sneaks into Eli Booker’s house, things get a whole lot more complicated. He’s hot, which means sitting on his chest and invading his dreams couldn’t get much more embarrassing. But it does. Eli is dreaming of a murder. The setting is Arkwell.

And then it comes true.

Now the Dusty has to follow the clues—both within Eli’s dreams and out of them—to stop the killer before more people turn up dead. And before the killer learns what she’s up to and marks her as the next target.
 
My thoughts: OMG! This sounds A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! A perfect mixture of paranormal and mystery...who wouldn't love it? I thought it sounded so original and mysterious. I mean, have you ever of a girl living off of nightmares! So, I am so excited for this to be released.(which it doesn't for another 6 months, I think?)

Top Ten Tuesday: Favorite "Older" Books


"Top Ten Tuesday" is a meme created by Jaime at The Broke and the Bookish that features our top ten list of books in any given category
This is my first meme ever! I'm excited 'cause I've always wanted to participate in one of these things. 
My top Favorite older books would be:
  


1.Unbecoming of Mara Dyer-This book was just SO good. I loved the plot, the characters, and the ending. For me, it was just a perfect book.
2.Daughter of Smoke and Bone-I loved this book! I thought she did a WAY different idea with angels than any other angel books I have read. If you have not read this, then you need to NOW!
3. Firelight-I just found the idea of this novel so interesting. I have actually not read very many books with humans that can transfrom into dragons. SO, I thought it was very original and just a good fantasy read.
4.Blood Red Road-This was a very descriptive, complex read. And that is the reason why I loved it so much( but I also loved Jack's humor).
5.Ella Enchanted-This is actually a very old fav. book of mine. If I would have started reading this novel this year, I would have not liked it very much, due to the fact of the simpleness of the novel( I now am more drawn to long, complex reads). But, the reason why I love it is because it made me the avid reader I am today. But, if you enjoy fairy-tale-like novels, this is the one for you.
6.Delirium-I kinda am obsessed with dystopian books and this book was beyond what I could hope in one. I just loved the plot, characters, and the idea of the book!( I cried also)
And there you have it! I loved all six of these books and they will always have a place in my heart.
