Total books reviewed on the blog: 10 books

This month has been amazing for me, blogging-wise. I read more books than I usually read because in a month, I, nowadays, only read 10 books, and if I'm lucky, 15 books, but it rarely ever happens. January was awesome and even posting-wise, I was very active and have 37 posts for this month (will be). I really wish I could continue this!

How was your January 2011, blogging-wise?

Giveaway: Across the Universe & Unearthly

Thursday, January 27, 2011 | | 30 comments
I haven't had much contests this month and one that I actually will 'sponsor,' or however you'd like to call it. I talked about this on Twitter and asked a lot of tweeps what book they wanted the most for this month, January. I'll be giving away two books that have already released and you will receive (for each) a beautiful, shiny hardcover copy. I apologize that I'm only giving away two books but I'm spending for a big contest coming up... which you should look out for!



Across the Universe by Beth Revis

A love out of time. A spaceship built of secrets and murder.

Seventeen-year-old Amy joins her parents as frozen cargo aboard the vast spaceship Godspeed and expects to awaken on a new planet, three hundred years in the future. Never could she have known that her frozen slumber would come to an end fifty years too soon and that she would be thrust into the brave new world of a spaceship that lives by its own rules.

Amy quickly realizes that her awakening was no mere computer malfunction. Someone-one of the few thousand inhabitants of the spaceship-tried to kill her. And if Amy doesn't do something soon, her parents will be next.

Now Amy must race to unlock Godspeed's hidden secrets. But out of her list of murder suspects, there's only one who matters: Elder, the future leader of the ship and the love she could never have seen coming.


Unearthly by Cynthia Hand

Clara Gardner has recently learned that she's part angel. Having angel blood run through her veins not only makes her smarter, stronger, and faster than humans (a word, she realizes, that no longer applies to her), but it means she has a purpose, something she was put on this earth to do. Figuring out what that is, though, isn't easy.

Her visions of a raging forest fire and an alluring stranger lead her to a new school in a new town. When she meets Christian, who turns out to be the boy of her dreams (literally), everything seems to fall into place—and out of place at the same time. Because there's another guy, Tucker, who appeals to Clara's less angelic side.

As Clara tries to find her way in a world she no longer understands, she encounters unseen dangers and choices she never thought she'd have to make—between honesty and deceit, love and duty, good and evil. When the fire from her vision finally ignites, will Clara be ready to face her destiny?
