Blog Tour & Giveaway: Fall For You by Cecilia Gray

I am pleased to be a part of Cecilia Gray’s Fall For You Blog Tour, an AToMR blog tour. I’ve already reviewed this amazing book. Click HERE to read my review!

Today I get to feature a fictional Twitter post between two main characters in the book. Enjoy!

Ellie

The Jane Austen Academy picks up on the first day of school,but rumors of the dreaded Mrs.
Berg (Bergie) taking over the reigns and making the school co-ed have been buzzing all summer,
especially because this means the girls now have to give up private rooms and have roommates
to make rooms for the guys.

Lizzie (FALL FOR YOU) and Ellie (SO INTO YOU) have been best friends at The Jane Austen
Academy since the first day of freshman year, and spend the summers in their home towns
wishing they could be together.

This is how I imagine them tweeting about it.

Lizzie (@L0isLane) and Ellie (@SurferGrl)
@L0isLane: Did you see the email?? #jasta changing hands? Nightmare!
@L0isLane: omg where ru? We need to be roommates or will die!

Lizzie

@L0isLane: am going to send out the fbi. WHERERU?
@SurferGrl: sorry was #surfing.
@L0isLane: so jealous. #chicago is melty my skin off . no ocean breeze.
@SurferGrl: get on a plane to #santacruz! #santacruz > #chicago
@L0isLane: #jasta > #everywhere – until now. #bergiesux
@L0isLane: I emailed you the roomie request – sign, ok?
@L0isLane: am so pissed – this is all #BERGIE – she is evil like disney villain!
@SurferGrl: sux, but cool to room together.
@L0isLane: true! <3<3<3
@L0isLane: BERGIE is going 2 pay.
@L0isLane: am going to take her down. #lifegoal #swearzies #itison

Seriously, watch this trailer! I can’t wait to read all the other books now! This is a great series.

 

Author Bio 
Cecilia Gray lives in Oakland where she reads, writes and breaks for food. She also pens her biographiesin the third person. Like this. As if to trick you into thinking someone else wrote it because she is important. Alas, this is not the case.

Cecilia has been praised for “instilling a warmth and weight into her characters” (Romancing The Book Reviews) and her books have been praised for being “well-written, original, realistic and witty” (Quills & Zebras Reviews).

Several of her titles – including A Delightful Arrangement (The Gentlemen Next Door #1) and An Illicit Engagement (The Gentlemen Next Door #2) – have spent, in her view, a shocking amount of time on bestseller lists for romance, historical romance and regency romance in the US, UK, Italy and Spain.

Her latest release, FALL FOR YOU, the first in a series of young-adult contemporary Jane Austen retellings received a starred Kirkus review and was praised for being a “unique twist on a classic” and offering “a compelling action of action, drama and love.”

She’s rather enamored of being contacted by readers and hopes you’ll oblige.

Book Signing & Giveaway: The Breathless Tour

Jessica Spotswood, Marie Lu, Andrea Cremer, and Beth Revis

I went to the Breathless book tour event at the Frisco Barnes and Noble last night (near Dallas). I was 45 minutes late because I was at my 2 big boys’ soccer practice (really fun), but I was happily surprised that they were still answering questions and talking about their books when I got there. After the Q&A we all lined up to get our books signed. While waiting in line I found out two people ahead of me was a book blogger friend I’d only met online. Courtney from Fuzzy. Coffee. Books was there! It was so fun to meet her and have someone to chat with in line. I love going to these events to see that book bloggers and authors are real people! 🙂

Each author signed my Breathless tour poster, and I got a copy of Legend and Born Wicked signed too! I haven’t read Born Wicked, but I did read Legend last week and LOVED it! Here’s my review: Legend by Marie Lu.

I’ve decided to giveaway my Breathless Tour poster signed by authors Marie Lu (Legend), Beth Revis (Across the Universe series), Jessica Spotswood (Born Wicked), and Andrea Cremer (Nightshade series). Now if you couldn’t make it to any of the tour spots you can have a poster signed by these four amazing authors! You must view the web version of my blog to see the rafflecopter giveaway form. Good luck!

giveaway, project tell taylor, remembrance

Project Tell Taylor and Giveaway!!

Taylor Swift is one of my favorite musical artists. Her music is so fun and tells stories we can all relate to about love. Michelle Madow’s debut novel Remembrance ( MY REVIEW ) was inspired by Taylor Swift’s “Love Story” music video. She talked all about it in a blog entry a few months ago, discussing how Remembrance was inspired by Taylor Swift’s “Love Story” music video. She even wrote a letter to Taylor Swift and sent it to her, along with a signed book!


It’s been a few months now, and she has yet to hear back from Taylor that she received the letter and book. She really wants to tell Taylor about how inspiring she and her music have been to her, but since Taylor Swift is an international superstar, she’s a little hard to reach. This is where YOUR help comes into play! Michelle is giving away the biggest prize pack she’s offered yet, and the ways to enter to win are by telling Taylor Swift about Remembrance.


The Goal: Get Taylor Swift to Tweet about Remembrance!
Here’s Michelle telling us about the prize pack! 


What you can win!

I haven’t told a ton of people, but I’m writing a book. I am halfway through the rough draft of my young adult book. It’s a lot of work, and sometimes I doubt I’ll ever have a finished project. Reading blogs and tweets from Young Adult authors– there are so many– and seeing their success stories inspires me to keep writing, reading, and working hard. What inspires you?

Remembrance

Remembrance GoodReads Page

Lizzie Davenport has been reincarnated from Regency Era, England … but she doesn’t know it yet.


Then Drew Carmichael transfers into Lizzie’s high school at the beginning of the year, and she feels a connection to him, almost like she knows him. She can’t stop thinking about him, but whenever she tries talking with him about the mysteries behind her feelings, he makes it clear that he wants nothing to do with her. Reaching him is even more difficult because she has a boyfriend, Jeremy, who has started to become full of himself after being elected co-captain of the varsity soccer team, and her flirtatious best friend Chelsea starts dating Drew soon after his arrival. So why can’t she get him out of her mind?


Even though Lizzie knows she should let go of her fascination with Drew, fighting fate isn’t going to be easy.

Lemniscate by Jennifer Murgia is the second book in the Angel Star series. See my review of book one: Angel Star.

Title: Lemniscate
Author: Jennifer Murgia
Publisher: Lands Atlantic Publishing
Release Date: March 2011
Pages: 252
Series: Angel Star #2
3 STARS: I Liked It

For Teagan, these last few months have been heaven on earth – especially now that Garreth, her boyfriend and guardian angel, is earthbound. But perhaps Garreth is becoming a little more human than either of them expected.
Now, Teagan must realize that her world is once again about to shift, as she questions the faith she held in others against those once considered enemies.
In this continuation of Angel Star, Lemniscate will draw you even deeper into the world of dark and light as Teagan realizes the angel who could possibly save them all is the one angel she feared the most.

My Thoughts:
I enjoyed reading this second installment in the Angel Star series. Unlike the first book, Angel Star, Teagan learned to rely on herself instead of her angel. I loved seeing her strength and resolve grow through this new independence.

In this second book, Teagan’s best friend is Ryan. Tea and Ryan have a lot of fun together. I enjoyed any scene with the two of them. Their banter and relationship was entertaining. I really liked Ryan. He sounded cute and trustworthy and . . . human. I kind of wish sometimes Teagan would hook up with him instead of Garreth. For me, Ryan is the Twilight’s Team Jacob equivalent.

Oh Garreth, you made me angry during this book. I’m not sure if everyone would agree with me, and I don’t want to go into details. I believe in forgiveness, but I really think there should have been more of a discussion between him and Teagan over a few of his choices. Those of you who’ve read the book know what I’m talking about. But hey, no one likes a flawless character.

A new character, Dr. Nathaniel Dean, was introduced at the end of Angel Star but played a bigger part in Lemniscate. Nate is dating Teagan’s mom. Well, I’ll let you see what happens with all that when you read it yourself.

Overall, an entertaining read! I look forward to reading the next book in the series.

Side Note: Most of us don’t believe in vampires, werewolves, wizards, etc, but in this book there are angels and evil spirits. I do believe in God, angels, and evil, but I don’t believe in incarnation or angels as depicted in this book. I just wanted to be clear that I read this book like an entertaining work of fiction. 

Happy Reading!
