Quick post..

I just wanted to post a quick post saying I will still be updating the blog, just life has gotten a bit hectic and I've been in a major reading slump. Lately I'd rather watch One Tree Hill or Supernatural than read :P.

Have you ever been in a reading slump? If so, what gets you out of it? :)

Review:
The Last Princess by Galaxy Craze - Pretty excited for this one, it sounds really good and different than what I normally read.
Revived by Cat Patrick - Loved this! I love Cat Patrick and the ideas she comes up with! Expect a review soon.
The Drowned Cities by Paolo Bacigalupi - I received the first one a while ago, but haven't had a chance to read it. This series sounds so good, though!

RAK:
Divergent by Veronica Roth - Everyone has been raving so much about this series, I cannot wait to start it! Thank you, Kassiah! :)
A Temptation of Angels by Michelle Zink - This one isn't pictured up top because 1. It's an ebook and 2. I got lazy :P. Thank you, Lori!
Thank you Little, Brown, Kassiah, and Lori!
Sorry for not posting for a while, I had my birthday weekend the 27th-29th and was just plain busy after that. And very lazy :P. Expect more consistent posting again soon! That's all I got this week or so, what did you get in your mailbox?

Book Review: The Selection by Kiera Cass (Luxury Reading review)

  Title: The Selection                                                          Pages: 327
  Author: Kiera Cass                                                          Source: Luxury Reading
  Publisher: HarperTeen                                                   Published: April 24, 2012
  Series: The Selection #1                                                Purchase: Amazon

merica Singer is content with her life. Although her boyfriend, Aspen, is in a lower caste, to America, he’s perfect. So when he urges her to join The Selection, an opportunity for one of thirty-five girls to become the wife of Prince Maxon, she is surprised. She’s even more surprised when she’s picked.

Wanting to be with Aspen, but needing the checks that The Selection provides her family with more, America sets off to the palace, heart closed off from the snobby Prince.

But when America meets Maxon, she realizes he’s not who she thought he was. He’s kind and sweet and she realizes that marrying Aspen might not be the best choice she has – and wants.

Plagued by these new found feelings, America has a big decision to make. Will it be Aspen or Prince Maxon?

After hearing about The Selection being compared to The Bachelor, I immediately wanted to read it. Being an unashamed fan of The Bachelor and all the juicy drama it provides, I knew I couldn’t go wrong with The Selection. And it didn’t disappoint.

Pass or Read? If you love the Bachelor, definitely give this one a read!

Cover thoughts: The cover is so pretty. Of course it's just another pretty girl in a pretty dress, but with the other girls around her in the same dress, it is a bit more unique and reminds me of a forest in the winter. So pretty.
