Mailbox Monday-June 8th

Last week was okay. I got a lot of books (which was great) but my motivation to do anything wasn't. I definitely hope to read more and get more bloggy stuff done this week! So now I get to brag on my loot!

I Apologize by Bradley Booth-Goodreads Win

See I wasn't joking when I said I made out like a bandit last week! I don't expect such a week like that this week! I was so thrilled to get a copy of Dracula! I had forgotten about requesting it and was just a super geek when it came in! Thanks for letting me brag!

Review-Red-Headed Stepchild by Jaye Wells

From Amazon:
In a world where being of mixed-blood is a major liability, Sabina Kane has the only profession fit for an outcast: assassin. But, her latest mission threatens the fragile peace between the vampire and mage races and Sabina must scramble to figure out which side she's on. She's never brought her work home with her---until now.

This time, it's personal.

My review:
What can I say about this book except...WOW what a ride?! I LOVED this book! It had everything a gal like me could want! Action, adventure, romance and a super awesome demon! Come on! At first I was afraid it would be another Buffy knock off, but boy was I pleasantly surprised! Sabina is NOTHING like Buffy and nothing like anything I've ever read! She's smart, funny, and ..okay I'm sounding like a crazy person but this book was just too fun! I seriously didn't want it to end! I'm definitely going to pick up the next book. This review is going to be short and sweet (and really gushy.) I loved it and if you like this genre I think you will too! I give this book a very glowing 4.5/5 stars!

Plans for this weekend-Books!

This weekend I do not have any work or plans (other than normal Mommy stuff) sooo I have some lofty reading plans! Yay goals! So I figure I could put away two books this week. So here are my picks for this weekend:

I also have one review for Red-Headed Stepchild by Jaye Wells to write and post! Them's my plans for the weekend! Wish me luck!

The 56-June 5th

1. Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
2. Turn to page 56.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post that sentence (plus one or two others if you like).

"He'd been promoted tot he Senate only recently, but had served as their unofficial torturer almost since she made him. He'd come to Philly to do some freelance work once and hadn't liked that Tony refused to throw me in as a bonus for a job well done." pg. 56 from Touch the Dark by Karen Chance

*sniffle sniffle* Thank you!

I got this lovely award from thekoolaidmom at In the Shadow of Mt. TBR Thank you for making me smile! :)

In the Mail-Monday

Last week was awesome for me! I LOVE getting mail and LOVE getting new books! It seriously makes me dance like a loon! I call it my "geeky girl book getting" dance! Anyway, this is what I got! (bragging to ensue in 5..4...3...2...)

I am almost certain that my mail carrier is plotting my murder! I'm gonna have a LOT of reading to do! Yay!

Review-Death's Daughter

From Amazon
Calliope Reaper-Jones so just wanted a normal life: buying designer shoes on sale, dating guys from Craig’s List, web-surfing for organic dim-sum for her boss...

But when her father—who happens to be Death himself—is kidnapped, and the Devil’s Protege embarks on a hostile takeover of the family business, Death, Inc., Callie returns home to assume the CEO mantle— only to discover she must complete three nearly impossible tasks in the realm of the afterlife first.

Being a HUGE Buffy fan I just had to pick up this book! Amber Benson, who played Tara on the series, is the author of this very cool book! I may sound like a rabid fan but this was a very fun, fast paced book that I totally got into! I really didn't want to put it down, in fact I believe I read it in the car, walking to the mailbox, in the bathtub, and even as I was pouring a cup of coffee in the morning (big mistake, trust me!)

This book is about Calliope Reaper-Jones (awesome name huh?) and how she deals with the fact that her father (who just so happens to be Death himself) and his associates (including her sister) has gone missing. She has to step up and take over Death Inc, even if she's not exactly thrilled about it. I really enjoyed reading this book and honestly cannot think of one negative thing to say. Hopefully we get to see more of Calliope soon!

This is a book I definitely recommend to anyone that was a fan of Buffy and loves the Paranormal/Chick Lit genres! I give this book a 5/5 stars!
