Liars Inc. by Paula Stokes #Giveaway

For fans of Gone Girl, I Hunt Killers, and TV's How to Get Away with Murder.

Max Cantrell has never been a big fan of the truth, so when the opportunity arises to sell forged permission slips and cover stories to his classmates, it sounds like a good way to make a little money and liven up a boring senior year. With the help of his friends Preston and Parvati, Max starts Liars, Inc. Suddenly everybody needs something and the cash starts pouring in. Who knew lying could be so lucrative?

When Preston wants his own cover story to go visit a girl he met online, Max doesn’t think twice about hooking him up. Until Preston never comes home. Then the evidence starts to pile up—terrifying clues that lead the cops to Preston’s body. Terrifying clues that point to Max as the murderer.

Can Max find the real killer before he goes to prison for a crime he didn’t commit? In a story that Kirkus Reviews called "Captivating to the very end," Paula Stokes starts with one single white lie and weaves a twisted tale that will have readers guessing until the explosive final chapters.

The Revolution of Ivy by Amy Engel #CoverReveal #Giveaway

I have to tell you I am so excited for this cover reveal because it means it's getting closer to the next book coming out. I'm so excited to find out what happens with Ivy and Bishop!!!! Which I love this cover. I love how it goes along with first one! So here it is....

The Revolution of Ivy (The Book of Ivy #2)

by Amy Engel

Release Date: 11/03/15

Entangled Teen

Ivy Westfall is beyond the fence and she is alone. Abandoned by her family and separated from Bishop Lattimer, Ivy must find a way to survive on her own in a land filled with countless dangers, both human and natural. She has traded a more civilized type of cruelty--forced marriages and murder plots--for the bare-knuckled brutality required to survive outside Westfall's borders.

But there is hope beyond the fence, as well. And when Bishop reappears in Ivy's life, she must decide if returning to Westfall to take a final stand for what she believes is right is worth losing everything she's fought for.

  

The Book of Ivy (The Book of Ivy #1)
by Amy Engel
Release Date: 11/04/14
Entangled Teen

Summary from Goodreads:
After a brutal nuclear war, the United States was left decimated. A small group of survivors eventually banded together, but only after more conflict over which family would govern the new nation. The Westfalls lost. Fifty years later, peace and control are maintained by marrying the daughters of the losing side to the sons of the winning group in a yearly ritual.

This year, it is my turn.

My name is Ivy Westfall, and my mission is simple: to kill the president’s son—my soon-to-be husband—and restore the Westfall family to power.

But Bishop Lattimer is either a very skilled actor or he’s not the cruel, heartless boy my family warned me to expect. He might even be the one person in this world who truly understands me. But there is no escape from my fate. I am the only one who can restore the Westfall legacy.

Because Bishop must die. And I must be the one to kill him…

Before devoting herself full-time to motherhood and writing, she was a criminal defense attorney, which is not quite as exciting as it looks on TV. When she has a free moment, she can usually be found reading, running, or shoe shopping. The Book of Ivy is her debut YA novel. Find her online at http://amyengel.net/ or @aengelwrites.

Cover Reveal Organized by:

YA Bound Book Tours

Top Ten Tuesday

Hosted by: The Broke and the Bookish

Top Ten Books You Would Classify As ALL TIME FAVORITE BOOKS from the past 3 years (you can extend it to 5 if you need to).

I choose a lot of full series because from the first book to the last I loved every single installment of some of these.

 

When someone says favorite books, these are always the ones I think of first. Not because I love them more than my other favorites but because I don't think they are as talked about. (YA)

  

I loved this series so much. It was my first Zombie series. (YA)

  

Another one of my fav Sci-Fi series Jackson is one of my forever book boyfriends.(YA)

  

Speaking of forever book boyfriends, Perry for sure is another one. (YA)

  

This series blew me away. I couldn't believe how sucked into I was. (YA)

 

I like all the books Victoria Scott has written but I think this is my favorite. Boy Salt & Stone....(YA)

Sometimes I get obsessed with something and this is one of those books. I actually read it and then listened to it on audio. Something about it....(YA)

  

I love this series for both the cultural influence and just because it's so good. (YA)

Alice (Wonderland) is the main character but this series goes through many story books (NA)

A fav romance of mine. I've read other books in the series but this one is definitely tops. (adult)

another fav romance. I love all the books in the series but this is my top. (clean adult)

Alright so there might be 11 here. In the last 3 years I've read close to 300 books maybe even more so it's hard to narrow that down. This is why when people ask what my favorite book is I stare at them blankly. What are some of your favorites?

Book Haul

So it's been some time since I've done an update. Life manages to get in the way. Since the last time there has been a blizzard, ALA, the Cold of Death, showers, author signing, kids throwing up, Museums, etc.. I think sometimes too I'm less likely to want to be on a computer since that's what I do at work all day.

So the weekend of ALA we had a lovely blizzard. Usually I really enjoy blizzards, I like how it kind of makes the world go silent.The picture to the left is a few days after blizzard but the snow plow hit my mailbox, which is why it's now leaning to the right. We still have a lot of icy snow to keep it upright and we can't really fix it until the snow melts. However this one just happened to be both conveniently and inconveniently place. Inconvenient because my friend could not go to ALA with me since her kids had off school (my kids are still young enough I have a sitter every day anyway) and convenent because ALA was pretty light on people. I went on the Monday so it was also the last day. So I managed to be able to pick up a good amount of books simply because they weren't going to be hauling them home.

I really need to go through my shelves and do a giveaway for books that I don't need. I have a few extras from ALA too. I have started reading off this pile. There are few in this pile too that I thought I wanted but realized it's not the book I'm thinking of. So I will need to give those away too.

Being at ALA had me thinking about BEA moving to Chicago next year. I'm pretty excited because McCormick place is a straight shot up a highway from my house but I'm also excited because I think there is so much to do in the city. I was just at the Museum of Science and Industry over the weekend and we didn't even make it to a whole floor just because there are too many things to do in just the one building.

I won a couple of books from Anya at On Starships and Dragonwings, which happens to be one of my favorite blogs. Also The Vault of Dreamers actually came from a giveaway that I won a long time ago. I actually forgot about it. It was in the back of my mind somewhere but then I figured it just got lost in the mail. I also got some books for review and then I bought Kalahari because I had gotten it from First to Read but it expired before I finished. I have to figure out a better system for reading those books.

I left the scrabble bookshelf because my 5 year old son made it to label my bookshelves. You know in case I got confused.

Honestly I have been reading like a crazy person. This week feels like a slow week because I'm only going to be posting 3 reviews.  I also went to an Epic Reads book tour signing. So I will post that along with links to post that had happened during the week tomorrow. I actually want to get back to reading right now. I will try to get at least one giveaway up this week as well.
