Marie Lu’s Villain Squad..

The second book, The Rose Society, in the New York Times Best Selling series, The Young Elites, by Marie Lu will be released on October 13, 2015, with the paper back of The Young Elites currently in stores. The series is about power-hungry Adelina’s rapid descent into paranoia and madness, as she pulls together her own society of gifted and ruthless malfettos, determined to overthrow those persecuting their kind.

Second Chance Sunday – T..

I don’t know if it was the timing of when I read this book or the gorgeousness of the cover or Jess Rothenberg’s writing style, but I fell in love with this weeks Second Chance Sunday, The Catastrophic History of You and Me. It was so gorgeously poetic and heartfelt with bits of fun mixed it. I loved it and I think you will too. Jess Rothenberg…I think I’m in love!! Confession time. When I first added Catastrophic to my to read list it was solely for the cover. I’m not usually that kind of book buyer/reader, but the […]
