By: Cynthia Hand Published by: Harper Teen To Be Released on: January 22nd, 2013 Series: Unearthly #3 Pre-Order from: Amazon | Barnes & Noble | IndieBound Browse Inside The past few years have held more surprises than part-angel Clara Gardner could ever have anticipated. Yet from the dizzying highs of first love, to the agonizing low of losing someone close to her, the one thing she can no longer deny is that she was never meant to live a normal life. Since discovering the special role she plays among the other angel-bloods, Clara has been determined to protect Tucker Avery from the evil that follows her . . . even if it means breaking both their hearts. Leaving town seems like the best option, so she’s headed back to California - and so is Christian Prescott, the irresistible boy from the vision that started her on this journey in the first place. As Clara makes her way in a world that is frighteningly new, she discovers that the fallen angel who attacked her ...

But I Love Him by Amanda Grace Reading level: Ages 12 and up Paperback: 264 pages Publisher: Flux (May 8, 2011) Buy the book: Amazon Sometimes at night, I wake up and stare at the heart for hours. I think of how I collected each piece from the beach, how I glued it all together into one big sculpture. I wonder if Connor realizes what it means, that he'll always have a piece of me no matter what happens. Each piece of glass is another piece of myself that I gave to him. It's too bad I didn't keep any pieces for myself. At the beginning of senior year, Ann was a smiling, straight-A student and track star with friends and a future. Then she met a haunted young man named Connor. Only she can heal his emotional scars; only he could make her feel so loved - and needed. Ann can't recall the pivotal moment it all changed, when she surrendered everything to be with him, but by graduation, her life has become a dangerous high wire act. Just one mistake could trigg...

Welcome all!  Sorry for the delay, but we're ready to get back on track!  The following post is for those who have read up to "fifty-two days before" (page 80 hardcover) of Looking For Alaska.  This will contain SPOILERS.  Since I didn't plan on hosting, I didn't take detailed notes this time around, so I'll keep this brief. I hate the name Pudge. Miles, The Colonel, Takumi and Alaska go about life, getting to know each other and smoking a LOT.  Alaska: "Ya'll smoke to enjoy it.  I smoke to die."  Foreshadowing?  I wonder about this girl.  Did her mom die of lung cancer?  Whatever is going on with her, I have a feeling she is a deeply troubled person. The basketball game.  This was hilarious!  I wish this was real, and I could be there to witness it.  I swear I cracked up laughing during this entire scene.  I love the witty, snarky, sarcasm of these guys!   The Colonel has been kicked out of 37 straight ...

Most of you know that we have started a book club!  This month, the book club is meeting at Once Upon a Twilight , and we're reading Looking for Alaska by John Green!  If you'd like to join us, we're reading up until the chapter that says "One Hundred Twenty-Six Days Before."  Then we will head over to Once Upon a Twilight to discuss those chapters on Monday, Jan. 16. If you'd like more information about the book club, or to sign up for emails, or to grab a book club button, you can check that out here ! Come join us!  

It's day 6, our final day of The Forbidden Book Club.  If you haven't read Forbidden by Tabitha Suzuma, DO NOT READ this post.  It is full of major spoilers!!!  Seriously!!  For everyone else, I've had such a great time doing this, and I'm so glad we've decided to continue with other books !  This was a TOUGH end to a TOUGH book.  Can't wait to see what you have to say. Chapters 21-Epilogue: Lochan and Maya spend the night together "only touching". It's funny how people in love/lust can delude themselves. All I can think is, there's no way this is going to stop here.  At some point they're going to go too far.   They continue pretending during the day, and saving the nights for each other.  Secretly sleeping in Maya's room. The next few chapters were my favorites to read.  The calm before the storm, you could say.  The children seem like they are really learning how to live together and take care of each other.  The five o...

March's Book:  A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray March's Host:  Beverly @ Booklady's Booknotes March's Posts:  Vote for April's book here Suggest a book here As many of you are probably aware, a bunch of us started a book club to read FORBIDDEN by Tabitha Suzuma together.  We had so much fun doing this book club, that we decided to keep it going!!  Every month we will pick a new book to read and a new blog to host.  You do not have to host in order to participate!!  Each blog that hosts can conduct the book club however they want.   I split the book up into 5 chapters, twice a week, and wrote posts about those chapters on Mondays and Thursdays.  Then we had 2 live chats, one in the middle of the book, and one at the end.  But this is only a suggestion. We will vote each month on the next month's book .  And you can feel free to participate one month, and not the next, if you choose. We decided to keep the...
