Hot Covers: Persephone's Orchard + Giveaway

Greek Gods, baby! Molly Ringle, New Adult author of Relatively Honest is back with a new novel  entitled Persephone's Orchard. This time she tackles Greek Mythology and this Cupid just had to blog about it.

The Greek gods never actually existed. Did they? Sophie Darrow finds she was wrong about that assumption when she's pulled into the spirit realm, complete with an Underworld, on her first day at college. Adrian, the mysterious young man who brought her there, simply wants her to taste a pomegranate. 

Soon, though she returns to her regular life, her mind begins exploding with dreams and memories of ancient times; of a love between two Greeks named Persephone and Hades. But lethal danger has always surrounded the immortals, and now that she's tainted with the Underworld's magic, that danger is drawing closer to Sophie


The book was released June 28 2013.  Feel free to check it out on Goodreads.

Q: What is your preferred reading format? Hardcover, eBooks, paperback, etc...

My heart belongs to hardcover books. Paperbacks scare me; I'm always extra careful not to damage the spine. And although eBooks are weightless, I tend to skip a lot of the narration. Shame on me!! 

Review: Cruel Summer

Greece is a perfect location for a summer book, and Alyson Noel made sure to add enough details to make us feel abroad with Colby. The story is told through diary excerpts, emails, blog posts and comments. So don't expect dialogue, or like me, you'll be disappointed. 

The lack of ''communication'' made the romance between Colby and Yannis feel vague. Also, Colby was going through a lot of teen problems: divorce, friend trading for popularity, sex... and being stuck in her whiny thoughts the whole time is heavy stuff. I often found myself putting the book down, wondering why it was taking me so long to finish a two hundred page book.  

All in all, Alyson did create a realistic perspective and ending.

TOP BOOKS I READ IN 2013

I'm not one to brag when it comes to my choice in men, but my choice in books is something other. Here are my favorites I've read this year so far...

Just noticed that aside from Anya's Ghost, all of them are serie books. Ugh, what does that mean?!?

Review: Meant to Be

We sometimes get it wrong when picking out the guy we are meant to be with. What if it's the complete opposite of who we expect? 

Through humor and romance, Lauren Morrill introduces Julia, a book lover, who believes Mark and her are meant to be -- regardless of the fact that they haven't spoken in years. But if destiny can't be altered, then why is she having strange feelings over Jason, her high school nemesis and class clown, who is the worst person for her to be paired up on an educational trip to London?

Not only is Julia a romantic at heart, she is quirky, often taking herself and school rules too seriously. Making it a pleasure for Jason to teach her how much fun she could have in London if she'd just let go. The problem is letting go brings trouble ... and romance, and Mark? 

Remember love can't be planned, it just happens.
