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~

Book Review: The Great Unexpected by Sharon Creech

The Great UnexpectedThe Great Unexpected
By Sharon Creech
Release Date: September 4th, 2012
Publisher: Harper Collins
Format: Hardcover, 240 pages
Get a Copy:
             Barnes and Nobles
             Amazon

Goodreads Summary: I had big thoughts to match the big wind. I wondered if we find the people we need when we need them. I wondered if we attract our future by some sort of invisible force, or if we are drawn to it by a similar force. I felt I was turning a corner and that change was afoot.

In the little town of Blackbird Tree live two orphan girls: one Naomi Deane, brimming with curiosity, and her best friend, Lizzie Scatterding, who could talk the ears off a cornfield. Naomi has a knack for being around when trouble happens. For she knows all the peculiar people in town--like Crazy Cora and Witch Wiggins and Mr. Farley. But then, one day, a boy drops out of a tree. The strangely charming Finn boy. Then the Dingle Dangle man appears, asking all kinds of questions. Curious surprises are revealed--three locked trunks, a pair of rooks, a crooked bridge, and that boy. Soon Naomi and Lizzie find themselves zooming toward a future neither could ever have imagined. Meanwhile, on a grand estate across the ocean, an old lady whose heart has been deceived concocts a plan. . . .
As two very different worlds are woven together, Newbery Medal winner Sharon Creech celebrates the gossamer thread that connects us all, and the great and unexpected gifts of love, friendship, and forgiveness.

Cindy's Review: It's another one of Sharon Creech's great reads. I love her books. It's so full of adventure and love.

This wonderful books starts when a boy named Finn falls out of a tree. I'm still confused who he is at the end, but it doesn't matter. I found something more magnificent. ;) The cover has a nice warm feeling to it, making me actually wanting to go there. And I'm also confused how Finn boy got on the tree. Did is climb on it then fall down, or he just fell out of a tree out of nowhere. 

The main character of this book is Naomi Deane. I think she was a little in love with Finn, also known as Finn boy. Naomi is an orphan who was taken cared by Nula and Joe. Her best friend is named Lizzie Scatterding(head). So, there the whole adventure of Naomi. I'll leave it for you to find out. 

One of my greatest reliefs is that Mrs. Kavanagh isn't  evil. I really thought for sure she was evil at the beginning. 

Okay, my review is getting sorta choppy. I'm gonna stop it here for today. 

Rate: (1-10): 8.2

Happy Reading~
