Fresh February Releases~

I've been on a short hiatus and now I'm back!
Happy 2015, everyone!
Hope you guys are having a great start!

Well, let's start off with some fresh new releases, shall we? 
:) Here goes. 

Red Queen (Red Queen, #1)Red Queen (Red Queen Trilogy #1)
by Victoria Aveyard
Release Date: February 10th, 2015

Thoughts: I'm hooked. Totally hooked. I want to read it so bad! And good thing, I saw it at Costco and I literally couldn't believe it was out already! :) Expect a review from me soon. I hope. I'm a bit slow at reviewing all my books lately. Ugh. Blame school. And movies. Because that's where all my free time gets sucked into. I know. I know. I'm trying. Believe me. I am. 

by Cynthia Hand
Release Date: February 10th, 2015

Thoughts: This book sounds so sad. And deep. I'm pretty sure this is new concept pretty different from Cynthia Hand's paranormal YA series, and we'll see how it goes. It's about a girl trying to get to make herself whole again, to get her life back together. It's about overcoming sorrow and getting over the past.

by Jasmine Warga
Release Date: February 10th, 2015

Thoughts: This one is another deep novel, filled with empathy and learning how to overcome obstacles in life. A somewhat coming-of-age story of a girl learning to understand herself. This deep dark novel, somehow includes romance, and I guess it's really what helps Aysel and Roman pull through. But the fact that they met each other on a suicide partner website to kill each other is quite....um....scary. 

by Kristen Simmons
Release Date: February 10th, 2015

Thoughts: Well, I really don't have much to say about this one, since I didn't hear about it till today via Goodreads. Seems like an interesting read. A dystopian novel about girls trying to survive and not get hunted by men to be used for breeding rights. Or something like that. No mention of love interest, just her trying to survive when she gets caught by these men. But ratings are pretty good so far, so...

by Holly Black
Release Date: February 5th, 2015

Thoughts: This just sounds so cute! Although I'm not hugely into faeries and all that, the glass coffin in the woods and children wanting to become knights and something like that sounds intriguing. What pulled me was the semi- reverse Snow White feel, where the boy in the glass coffins wake up. He's probably a faerie though. Or an elf. I don't know, but either way, may be worth checking out. 

All Fall Down (Embassy Row #1)All Fall Down (Embassy Row #1)
by Ally Carter
Release Date: February 5th, 2015

Thoughts: Mystery. Secrets. Conspiracies. Politics. Even though I'm been over mysteries, since that was like my childhood love, I'm still really into Ally Carter's world of spies and thieves. I still love her series of Gallagher Girls and the Heist Society. So can't wait to see this new series!
 
Lots of great reads this month! 
:) I'm excited to be back in the book world~

Happy February!

Optimistic October Releases~

It's another month already~
October is my busiest month yet.
And books are coming like crazy. :D
There are soo many coming out this month..
I just can't~
Lemme introduce them to you. :)

The Blood of Olympus (The Heroes of Olympus, #5)The Blood of Olympus (The Heroes of Olympus #5)
by Rick Riordan
Release Date: October 7th, 2014

Thoughts: It's the last book in the series! I feel like I've grown up with Percy Jackson or something. Although the series get crazier and bigger each time, I'm still happy to continue reading. But I kind of hope it stops here. I mean, yeah, I WANT MORE PERCY. But Percy's gotta grow up and live his life like a normal human being. 

AAANND. Rick Riordan's writing a new Norse series!!!! Yaaass. I'm checking that out~


The Young Elites (The Young Elites, #1)The Young Elites (The Young Elites #1)
by Marie Lu
Release Date: October 7th, 2014

Thoughts: Omgomgomg. It's coming out already? I swear it was just yesterday I was wondering about the release date. I thought it comes out 2015 or something! Obviously I haven't been keeping up since there's a whole bunch of blog posts and giveaways for this. OMG. I CAN'T. I JUST CAN'T. I'm so excited to read this! I'll be so juiced when it gets into my hands. HAHAH. :)



In the Afterlight (The Darkest Minds, #3)In the Afterlight (The Darkest Minds #3)
by Alexandra Bracken
Release Date: October 28th, 2014

Thoughts: And here it is! The last installment of The Darkest Minds. OMG. I absolutely loved the first book! And I've been waiting so long, I might need to reread the series all over again to get all those feels again. :) 

Ruby and Liam though. They need to be together. And then there's Cole. I dunno. I really need to reread the series again. Haha. 

Snow Like Ashes (Snow Like Ashes, #1)Snow Like Ashes (Snow like Ashes #1)
by Sara Raasch
Release Date: October 14th, 2014

Thoughts: I've been seeing this book around so much. And now that I read the summary, I definitely want to read it! Like OMG YAAAAS. High Fantasy. Warrior girl. Best friend love interest. What else could I ask for? I hope the writing really lives up to its synopsis! 

The one and only problem I have so far is the love interest's name: Mather. Really? Mather? I think it could have been hotter. But maybe there's a hidden meaning or he has a special name....:)

Talon (Talon, #1)Talon (Talon #1)
by Julie Kagawa
Release Date: October 28th, 2014

Thoughts: I mean, it's Julie Kagawa. I read a preview of the book and it seemed like a fun book to read. Although I was looking to some romance but I don't see any....yet. Anyways. This book is about dragons. That can be humans. And dragon hunters. 

Either way, I might check this one out if I have time, because I'm not really into dragons. But maybe this can change my mind. :D

by Becca Fitzpatrick
Release Date: October 7th, 2014

Thoughts: Haven't checked this book out yet, but it seems like it's a standalone.....woah. This is more like a suspense, yet hints of romance. And all those grim blizzards and murders. It seems like it would belong in my English textbook. Not that it's a bad thing. Lately, I been reading so much about deaths like Into the Thin Air and Of Clay We Are Created. 

Hmmm. Maybe I'll check this out. Just to see which boys she ends up with. :) 

by Stephanie Perkins, Holly Black, Ally Carter, Gayle Forman, Jenny Han, David Levithan, and more...
Release Date: October 14th, 2014

Thoughts: Omgomgomg. It's like my favorite authors all in one! Especially Stephanie Perkins! I can't get enough of her awesome characters and romances. Anna and Etienne. <3. 

And it's the holidays already!!! Times go by so fast. *tears. I don't even know why I'm so emotional, but it's just those warm-flutter feelings of the holiday. :)

by Ally Condie
Release Date: October 28th, 2014

Thoughts: This sounds like an interesting book to read. :) And that's a lovely cover there. I think she's a siren. Because there's no mention of mermaids and they live underwater...

I'll definitely check this one out. :) 

by Ilima Todd
Release Date: October 14th, 2014

Thoughts: Since I'm doing a blog tour for Remake, I might as well do some early promotion. It is actually a book worth reading if you have some time~ If you like dystopian and just a random book to enjoy, here's one for you~ :) 


Well. There's a lot more books coming out this month, but here are the lovely mentions. 
What are the books you're waiting for to come out this month?

Book Review: United We Spy by Ally Carter

United We Spy (Gallagher Girls, #6)United We Spy (Gallagher Girls #6)
by Ally Carter
Release Date: September 17th, 2013
Publisher: Disney-Hyperion
Hardcover, 293 pages
Content: PG-(13)/Middle Grade (YA)
Get a Copy: 
       B&N | Amazon

Goodreads Summary:  Cammie Morgan has lost her father and her memory, but in the heart-pounding conclusion to the best-selling Gallagher Girls series, she finds her greatest mission yet. Cammie and her friends finally know why the terrorist organization called the Circle of Cavan has been hunting her. Now the spy girls and Zach must track down the Circle’s elite members to stop them before they implement a master plan that will change Cammie—and her country—forever.

Cindy's Review: 
At First Glance/The Cover:
She's finally graduating! We've come to a conclusion of this teen spy's years. I've waited for the ending of the Gallagher series for years. Not that I was waiting for it to end. At the end of book 5, Out of Sight, Out of Time, we learn that it's time for Cammie to hunt down the Circle of Cavan. This is exactly what the 6th book is for, to clean off the bad guys.

I haven't done a book review in 3 months! Forreal. Since October. So sorry for my rusty review skills. Not that I was good to begin with anyways.

The Characters/My Opinons: 
Cammie - Of course, the chameleon, our main character. The one that graduates. The one that was sought after bad the Circle of Cavan. Now it's her turn to end their treacheries. 

In this finale, we follow Cammie to meet and stop the Circle of Cavan leaders. The two main villains are Preston's dad and Zach's mom. Not getting into details, but those two cause a whole lot of trouble in the final book. 
  
And yes, Zach is definitely there. Yay! The perks. But yannoe, Zach kind of got more serious. Certainly loss some of his playfulness. Kinda miss that. But we still get to read from Cammie's funny, teenager-ish attitude. I love that about her.

This ending was kind of the last of the killings. It wasn't exactly a hurried ending. But then Cammie, Liz, Macey, Bex, and Zach was definitely trying to finish their mission. And let's not forget Preston. Of course, even after everything, they have to face against the final challenge of Zach's mother. 

Final Thoughts:
This final conclusion was satisfactory. Even though Out of Sight, Out of Time basically told us what was going to happen, I really wanted Cammie to turn out to be someone special. Someone more special than just being a girl who has a list of names in her mind. Maybe royalty or something. I dunno.

The true ending of United We Spy is kind of what everyone predicted. Literally. I read numerous fanfics like this ending. You don't even know how similar the real is ending is to fans' ideal ending. Of course, without the marriage and the babies. 

But Ally Carter does leave us something to hang on to. That means she just might write a companion series. Ally introduced us a young, freshman Gallagher Girl. Her name is Amirah. And I think she's actually royalty or something, but she has a future. And plus, Cammie's in college. Who knows what can happen in colleges where she's not in a spy school. Accessibility to normal guys, durr. But she has Zach. :)   

I would like for the series to end as it is though. Although I kind of wouldn't mind an intro into Cammie's college life.

The Rating: (1-10): 9.5~
Oh. It ended. *cries. It's like my daughter is graduating and leaving me for college. I don't even know the feeling of having a daughter. What I just said didn't even make sense. But truly, I understand a parent's feeling of saying good-bye to their children, even though they can see (reread) them anytime. 

Happy Reading~

Book Haul #4

Eek! Guys! These are just the books that I couldn't resist. 
I don't do much book hauls. So this one is a huge one. Where I actually bought for all the books. As in they are not gifted or free. And as in they are NOT ebooks. :)
I had to buy them. Omg. Hehe. Glad to add them to my shelf.
Everything is from Amazon.

Graceling (Graceling Realm, #1)Graceling (Greaceling Realm #1)
by Kristin Cashore
Release Date: October 1st, 2008
Paperback, 471 pages
Price: $8.99 +tax

Blurb:

In a world where people born with an extreme skill—called a Grace—are feared and exploited, Katsa carries the burden of the skill even she despises: the Grace of killing. She lives under the command of her uncle Randa, King of the Middluns, and is expected to execute his dirty work, punishing and torturing anyone who displeases him.

When she first meets Prince Po, who is Graced with combat skills, Katsa has no hint of how her life is about to change.

She never expects to become Po's friend.


She never expects to learn a new truth about her own Grace—or about a terrible secret that lies hidden far away...a secret that could destroy all seven kingdoms with words alone.

Comments:
I first read this book in the 2009 CYRM event. Because it was a nominee. And it turns out I loved it. :) So did everyone else. So yep. Definitely. I would love to have Katsa and Po on my shelves. There they can join my ARC version of Fire, with Brigan and Fire. Teehee~ 

Graceling is becoming a movie guys~ In 2014. Oh yes, I'm definitely watching that.
I think Graceling was on sale for 5 something once. I didn't buy it....oh wells.

Divergent (Divergent, #1)Divergent (Divergent #1)
by Veronica Roth
Release Date: February 28th, 2012
Paperback, 487 pages
Price: $5.49 +tax

Blurb:

In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago world, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue--Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is--she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.

During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles alongside her fellow initiates to live out the choice they have made. Together they must undergo extreme physical tests of endurance and intense psychological simulations, some with devastating consequences. As initiation transforms them all, Tris must determine who her friends really are--and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes exasperating boy fits into the life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers unrest and growing conflict that threaten to unravel her seemingly perfect society, Tris also learns that her secret might help her save the ones she loves . . . or it might destroy her.

Comments: 
The other 2014 movie I'm dying for. This action packed dystopian young adult novel is also one of my high list books. They rank very high. :) And they are GOOD. So if you ever want to read them, go ahead. But probably everyone had read them already. LOL.

So yes. I certainly want sexy Four on my book shelf.

And for the movie status. The cast is already known to public! :D
Here's more info on the 2014 Divergent movie and other recent and future book movies.
The pictures might not show..so yeah...

Comments: 
Of course, I would also buy Book 2 of Divergent. Since it was half off.  9.24 for a hardcover? Especially for a famously sought one. Hell yeah! LOL. 

Okay. No news on Insurgent movie yet. But yannoe. We'll get there. 

P.S. The price may vary. Like when you get to Amazon, it might not be the same price so don't be disappointed.

by Cassandra Clare

Paperback, 479 pages
Price: $9.49 +tax

In a time when Shadowhunters are barely winning the fight against the forces of darkness, one battle will change the course of history forever. Welcome to the Infernal Devices trilogy, a stunning and dangerous prequel to the New York Times bestselling Mortal Instruments series.

The year is 1878. Tessa Gray descends into London’s dark supernatural underworld in search of her missing brother. She soon discovers that her only allies are the demon-slaying Shadowhunters—including Will and Jem, the mysterious boys she is attracted to. Soon they find themselves up against the Pandemonium Club, a secret organization of vampires, demons, warlocks, and humans. Equipped with a magical army of unstoppable clockwork creatures, the Club is out to rule the British Empire, and only Tessa and her allies can stop them....

Comments: 
Since my friend had been pushing me to read this series....I might as well buy the book. She made it sound really good and I thought I would give it a try. 



Clockwork Prince (The Infernal Devices, #2)


And yes. More movie business. I heard this is becoming a movie. Not certain. And not clear when. But yes. I heard. 


Clockwork Prince (The Infernal Devices #2)
by Cassandra Clare
Release Date: March 19th, 2013
Paperback, 528 pages
Price: $9.68 +tax

Blurb:

True love is shrouded in secrets and lies in the #1 New York Times bestselling second book of the Infernal Devices trilogy.

In the magical underworld of Victorian London, Tessa Gray has found safety with the Shadowhunters. But that safety proves fleeting when it becomes clear that the mysterious Magister will stop at nothing to use Tessa’s powers for his own dark ends.

With the help of the handsome, tortured Will and the devoted Jem, Tessa discovers that the Magister’s war on the Shadowhunters is deeply personal and fueled by revenge. To unravel the secrets of the past, the trio journeys from mist-shrouded Yorkshire to a manor house that holds untold horrors. When they encounter a clockwork demon bearing a warning for Will, they realize that the Magister knows their every move—and that one of their own has betrayed them.


Tessa is drawn more and more to Jem, though her longing for Will continues to unsettle her. But something is changing in Will. Could finding the Magister free Will from his secrets and give Tessa answers about who she really is? As their search leads to deadly peril, Tessa learns that secrets and lies can corrupt even the purest heart.

Comments:
Then, I also bought the second installment of the series. Haven't read it yet. Since it came today. :) But going to. 

I did buy the Clockwork Princess. But I pre-ordered the paperback version. I have no release date on that. But the price is somewhere in the 9 ranges. 

City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments, #1)City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments #1)
by Cassandra Clare
Release Date: February, 2008
Paperback, 485 pages
Price: $7.24 +tax

Blurb:
When Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder. Much less a murder commited by three teenagers covered with odd markings. This is Clary's first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons--and keeping the odd werewolves and vampires in line. It's also her first meeting with gorgeous, golden-haired Jace. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace's world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in an ordinary mundane like Clary? And how did she suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know....

Comments:
And with the movie coming out for this one. I had to also buy this one and reread my Jace lines. The  cocky and arrogant Jace in the book is amazing. Haha. :) 

Okay. SO THAT MOVIE. 
Here's my fandom post. LOL.

Wells. That's all I got in my hands RIGHT NOW. But there's gonna be at least two more coming if not even more. So waitup. guys. :D

Staggering September Releases~

Time for them September releases~ 
:D Yep. There's some pretty exciting books. Soo wait up.
And ohmergerd. #excited.

Simple Perfection (Perfection, #2; Rosemary Beach, #5)Simple Perfection (Perfection #2)
by Abbi Glines
Release Date: September 23rd, 2013.

Thoughts: Welps. I'm not a too big fan of the Woods and Della series. And when I'm not a big fan of the storyline or the characters, I end up don't liking the new adult novel. The only new adult novels I enjoy are the ones I absolutely love. Hehe. But who knows. I mean, it's Abbi Glines. She writes like the best new adult novels ever! I probably won't be staggering because of this novel, but I will definitely read it for fun, when I'm novelless. 

Tagline: Woods had his perfect life mapped out for him.
Not much of a tagline, but well....



The Transfer: A Divergent Story (Divergent, #0.1)The Transfer (Divergent #0.1)
by Veronica Roth
Release Date: September 3rd, 2013.

Thoughts: Hehe. For those who know, I'm such a Divergent fan. Like forreal. So of course, I read it already. :) Haven't written the review yet, but it'll come soon...meaning somewhere in the next two months. LOL. Okey. And well. The Transfer is basically a prequel. It's all about Four. Like two years ago before Divergent took place. 
Plus, I think I did a whole post on this.

Tagline: More Four!
LOL. Nice~ 


United We Spy (Gallagher Girls, #6)United We Spy (Gallagher Girls #6)
by Ally Carter
Release Date: September 17th, 2013.

Thoughts: This is the one. The one I've been actually waiting for to come since forever. Like. The finale to Cammie and Zach and all those spy stuff. I know this is more of a kid/middle school read. But like. But like I just love Ally Carter's spy novel. And might as well finish it up. 
By the time this post comes, it should be mailing to me. Omg. Hehe. But right now, I still have to wait like a whole week. Ugh.

Tagline: Cammie Morgan has lost her father and her memory, but in the heart-pounding conclusion to the best-selling Gallagher Girls series, she finds her greatest mission yet.


The Chaos of StarsThe Chaos of Stars
by Kiersten White
Release Date: September 10th, 2013.

Thoughts: Hmmm. Didn't really know about this one. But then the cover is really pretty. And I have read Kiersten White books. They are pretty good. So yeah. I'll probably end up trying this one out. :D 

Tagline: Isadora’s family is seriously screwed up.
LOL~ I would definitely read it.


Saving Raphael Santiago (The Bane Chronicles, #6)Saving Raphael Santiago (The Bane Chronicles #6)
by Cassandra Clare & Sarah Rees Brennan
Release Date: Seotember 17th, 2013.

Thoughts: Eek! More Cassie Clare. More sassy warlock. More Magnus Bane! LOL. I haven't even read any of the Bane Chronicles. But it's definitely on my superduper long TBR list. 
I think the cover is kind of plain. But it's aight. As long as there's Magnus. :D 
Btw, Raphael's the vampire. Remember him?

Tagline: A Manhattan teen—Raphael Santiago—is missing, and Magnus Bane must track him down before it’s too late. 
Sounds like a mystery novel.


Sweet Legacy (Medusa Girls, #3)Sweet Legacy (Medusa Girls #3)
by Terra Lynn Childs
Release Date: September 3rd, 2013.

Thoughts: I actually don't know this series at all, but what caught me was Percy Jackson and Greek mythology. I love them both. :D This is the final book, so if there's any cliffhangers in the first or second book, I'll always have the last one. :D Gotta try this one out. 

Tagline: The stunning conclusion of Tera Lynn Childs's Greek mythology–based Sweet Venom trilogy is perfect for teen fans of Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series.
See what I mean?



The World of Divergent: The Path to Allegiant (Divergent, #2.5)The World of Divergent: The Path to Allegiant (Divergent #2.5)
By Veronica Roth
Release Date: September 24th, 2013.

Thoughts: Wait, what's this? Huh. Didn't know about this one. But coolios. Gotta read this one too~ Hehe. Great. Wonder what it's about. And omg. Allegiant. Totally baby. They should really get a cover for this though. Or not. 

Tagline: Fascinated by the world of the Divergent series? This fifty-page bonus, previously only available in the Divergent Series Box Set, includes faction manifestos, a faction quiz, Q&A with #1 New York Times bestselling author Veronica Roth, book playlists, discussion questions, series inspirations, and much more!


Risked (The Missing, #6)Risked (The Missing #6)
by Margaret Peterson Haddix
Release Date: September 3rd, 2013.

Thoughts: Another one of my favorite middle grade books. Truthfully, I like history. Just not listening teacher drone on and on. And taking tests. But I like historical fiction. And The Missing series has a lot in it. And you can learn a lot of cool and fun facts. Kind of like The Magic Tree House. But it's more sci-fi than magic.

Tagline: Jonah thought that after his last adventure in 1903, he and his sister Katherine would have a break from time travel for a while. For the first time, he’s willing to look into his own identity in the past, and he thinks this is his chance.
So we'll learn more about Jonah~


The Boy On The PorchThe Boy on the Porch 
by Sharon Creech
Release Date: September 3rd, 2013.

Thoughts: Okay. This just suggests romance. And I lurve those. And you know what else I love? Sharon Creech novels. They're good. They're of course, once again middle grade level. But many of Sharon's books are Newbery Award Winners. Like Walk Two Moons. If I did remember correctly, I cried reading that. 

Tagline: From Newbery Medal winner Sharon Creech comes a singular story that reminds us of the surprising connections that bloom when unconditional love and generosity prevail. For when a young couple finds a boy asleep on their porch, their lives take an unexpectedly joyous turn.
Okay. Nvm. I guess this more of a family love connection kind of book. But I like those too. They make you cry. A lot. 


Secrets of the fall (Loving summer: Donovan brothers #2)Secrets of the Fall (Loving Summer #4)
by Kailin Gow
Release Date: September 30th, 2013.

Thoughts: Omgomgomg. I read the first book and literally loved it. I really can't wait to see how that love triangle goes. But I really haven't been keeping with the second and the third book. Now that the fourth book is out, looks like I have some catching up to do.

Tagline: The Donovan Brothers… two gorgeous brothers in love with the same girl. How far would they fall to have her? One of them will claim her, but the other will find her. Only one can win her forever, unless their family secrets destroy everything.
OH OKAY~


Quantum Entanglement (Interchron #2)Quantum Entanglement (Intercrhon #2)
by Liesel K. Hill
Release Date: September 17th, 2013.

Thoughts: Read the first one. Pretty good. I liked it. :) So continuing onto the second one. :D Whoopdeedoop. KK. I'm like getting all tired and stuff. School tomorrow. Ugh. The mile. Ugh. Test results. Ugh. Welps. Night. Omg. That just doesn't make sense when this post goes up. Haha. 

Tagline: Five months after traveling to a post-apocalyptic future where collectives reign supreme and individuals have been hunted to the verge of extinction, Maggie Harper was returned to her own time until the threat to her life could be neutralized.



Okay guys~ ._. That's it. I'm out. Lol. Not too much to say. But yay~ More books to read~ Whoopdeedoop~

THE TOUR STOPS. Whoopdeedoop. Omg. There are like so so so much tour stops. Like gurl. Woah. 

So like. Normally, I would do my individual way of showing you guys the tour stops and stuff. But there is SOOO much that I'm just way too lazy for it. So if ya'll don't mind, it's straight copy and paste from Ally Carter's blog. Of course, on my own color-coded way.

September Author/Book Signings in Bay Area

This post is basically featuring the author appearances in September in the Bay Area only. Sorry to others who don't live by Bay Area, CA. Because I live in the Bay Area, therefore...

@7pm


I only read one of Sonya Sones' books and it's To Be Perfectly Honest. The review post is coming soon. Yep. But it's a borrowed copy, so even I go, I wouldn't have anything for her to sign. Of course, unless I buy a book. 


Tuesday, September 17th, 2013 - San Francisco, CA

Errr. I only one I know here is Melissa Dela Cruz. And I haven't even read any of her books. But it'll be fun to check it out. Though I'm sure my mom won't let me. LOL.



Thursday, September 19th, 2013 - Menlo Park, CA

Meet ALLY CARTER.

Kepler's Books
1010 El Camino Real
Menlo Park, CA 94025
@7pm

So this is the one I want to go to the most. OMG. Cuz I love Ally Carter. And her Gallagher Girls series. And The Heist Society series. Even though it's middle grade and all. And for like elementary kids, I still love her plot and I can't wait to finish reading the last book in the Gallagher Girls series. Gah. But I CAN'T GO. Wails! It's on a school night. Driving takes like 32 minutes. But my mom definitely won't take me. And BART takes 2 hours! Omg. Omg. Cries. ;(


Friday, September 20th, 2013 - Menlo Park, CA 

Meet KENDARE BLAKE, ANNA CAREY, and MICHELLE GAGNON.

Kepler's Books
1010 El Camino Real
Menlo Park, CA 94025
@7pm

Anna Carey! Omg. The author of Eve. And of course. I CAN'T GO. It's at the same location. And I certainly can't go to the same place two nights in a row. Everything is taking place at Menlo Park. Nobody heard of Oakland? Or San Leandro? Or Hayward? Castro Valley? Anywhere nearer? I can even take San Francisco. Just San Mateo is so far by BART. 


P.S. I'm only doing the authors I seem to know or read from. So that's why there isn't a whole bunch of them. If any of you guys are available to go, be sure to share it with me. I most likely won't be able to go. :(
