Thursday, July 05, 2012 | Posted by Unknown |

Hello Blogger Babes! I'm on vacation with my family at the beach!

I'll be back on Tuesday, July 10th.

I have my Kindle with me. I'll finish reading Existence by Abbi Glines and start another book (not sure what that is . . . you know I'm a kinda read to my mood, kind of reader).

STILL ON MY MIND

Thursday, July 05, 2012 | Posted by Unknown |

'Still on my Mind' is a meme inspired by Haley at YA-Aholic

Every Thursday you will feature a book that you read months or even YEARS ago that was so good (or so scary/unique/funny..etc) that it is 'Still on my (your) Mind!'

Please include in your post:

1. The summary of the book (off of goodreads or amazon or whatever!)

2. Make sure you tell us why it is still on your mind, was it super amazing? Super Unique? Super Scary?

MY PICK:
Sleepless by Cyn BalogHardcover, 215 pages
Published July 13th 2010 by Delacorte Books for Young Reader

*image and Synopsis via Goodreads*

Eron DeMarchelle isn't supposed to feel this connection. He is a Sandman, a supernatural being whose purpose is to seduce his human charges to sleep. Though he can communicate with his charges in their dreams, he isn't encouraged to do so. After all, becoming too involved in one human's life could prevent him from helping others get their needed rest.

But he can't deny that he feels something for Julia, a lonely girl with fiery red hair and sad dreams. Just weeks ago, her boyfriend died in a car accident, and Eron can tell that she feels more alone than ever. Eron was human once too, many years ago, and he remembers how it felt to lose the one he loved. In the past, Eron has broken rules to protect Julia, but now, when she seems to need him more than ever, he can't reach her. Eron's time as a Sandman is coming to a close, and his replacement doesn't seem to care about his charges. Worse, Julia is facing dangers she doesn't recognize, and Eron, as he transitions back to being human, may be the only one who can save her. . . .

Even once they've become human again, Sandmen are forbidden to communicate with their charges. But Eron knows he won't be able to forget Julia. Will he risk everything for a chance to be with the girl he loves?

Cyn Balog's follow-up to Fairy Tale has more wit, more supernatural delights, and more star-crossed romance! Teen girls will love this story of a Sandman who falls in love with his human charge.

MY THOUGHTS ON 'STILL ON MY MIND':

This was a adorable, page turner book for me. I loved the whole story line. It would be nice to have a 'Sandman' lull me to sleep every night - and a gorgeous guy won't hurt either :)

GET ME OFF THE SHELF!

Thursday, July 05, 2012 | Posted by Unknown |

Get Me Off The Shelf! is my edition of From the Review Pile from*Stepping Out of the Page*hosted by Stephanie. This will be a weekly meme on Thursdays

The aim of this meme is to showcase books that you own but haven't yet got around to reading, in order to give the book some extra publicity. I thought it'd be helpful to readers/reviewers as well as publishers/authors to try and showcase books that you own but haven't had time to get around to.

This week I'm spotlighting:

The Hunger Games
(The Hunger Games #1)
By Suzanne Collins

MY THOUGHTS:

So this book turned movie, I just couldn't get into. I did not see the movie, but I wanted to read it first. Well many months later I still haven't read it.

Like I said, I got to be in a mood for a certain book to read it. It will happen someday with Hunger Games.

So share what's you need to get off your bookshelf, or floor, or box . . . I love comments!
