GET ME OFF THE SHELF!
Get Me Off The Shelf! is my edition of 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:
Deadlocked by Charlaine Harris
I just don't know why I haven't read this book yet. I was all hyped about getting it and love the Sookie Stackhouse Series!
This is what happens I think, I get so wrapped up in the show True Blood that is based off of the books, so it kind of knocks off the edge for me. I don't know.
I'm a, pick the book that I'm in the mood for moment, kind of reader.
So share what's you need to get off your bookshelf, or floor, or box . . .
S.
Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe . . .
This is my Meme called Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe, that will be posted any day off the week.
What I'll do is post a few sentences of the synopsis of each book. Then I'll list a few books by cover and you have to guess which book belongs to the partial synopsis. I will post the answer the following day.
Good Luck and I hope everyone joins in. It'll be fun!
Partial Synopsis:
*From Goodreads*
*Book images from Goodreads*So which book is this synopsis from? Don't peak in your books if you have them :)

Something Strange and Deadly (Something Strange and Deadly #1) by Susan Dennard
*Synopsis from Goodreads*
The year is 1876, and there’s something strange and deadly loose in Philadelphia…
Eleanor Fitt has a lot to worry about. Her brother has gone missing, her family has fallen on hard times, and her mother is determined to marry her off to any rich young man who walks by. But this is nothing compared to what she’s just read in the newspaper—
The Dead are rising in Philadelphia.
And then, in a frightening attack, a zombie delivers a letter to Eleanor…from her brother.
Whoever is controlling the Dead army has taken her brother as well. If Eleanor is going to find him, she’ll have to venture into the lab of the notorious Spirit-Hunters, who protect the city from supernatural forces. But as Eleanor spends more time with the Spirit-Hunters, including their maddeningly stubborn yet handsome inventor, Daniel, the situation becomes dire. And now, not only is her reputation on the line, but her very life may hang in the balance.

Endlessly by Kiersten White (Paranormalcy #3)
*Synopsis from Goodreads*
Try as she might, Evie can’t seem to escape her not-so-normal past. And what was supposed to be a blissfully normal school break is ruined when a massive group of paranormals shows up at her house, claiming that Evie is the only one who can protect them from a mysterious, perilous fate.
The deadly war between the faerie courts looms ever closer. The clock is ticking on the entire paranormal world. And its future rests solely in Evie’s hands.
So much for normal.
With a perfect blend of humor and suspense, Endlessly is everything readers could dream of in a conclusion—and the unexpected twists will keep them guessing until the very last page.

DON'T JUDGE A BOOK . . .
This is my book cover pick for the week:
*Picture from Author's Website
Darkness Before Dawn by J.A. London
The first novel in the Darkness Before Dawn Trilogy
I think this cover is wickedly awesome! I love the model's dress, and the way it's flowing from an unseen breeze along with her hair. The title letters are attractive, along with the letter "R" made like a mirror image. This cover makes me feel that the "Darkness" is an attractive thing, rather than something to be apprehensive about.So what do you think? Does this cover match the story in anyway? I guess we have to read it to answer that. Let me know . . .

Her series Bloodlines second installment, The Golden Lily, was published Tuesday, June 12th. Mead is currently on tour and will stop at Barnes & Noble in Santa Monica on June 18.

FIK*TISH*UHS REVIEWS
Fifty Shades Freed by E.L. James
Publisher Date: April 17, 2012
Publisher: Vintage; Reprint edition
Pages: 592; Paperback
My gosh! How I already miss Christian ... and Ana. This book had me laughing, angry, talking to myself, and crying. But I love happy endings, and that I am grateful for. The cover of the book with the handcuffs, I feel signifies Christian being release from his past, moving on if you will. And of course using those cuffs on Ana a few times. Oh what joy!
If you can handle a lot of raunchy sex and lots of it and the "F" bombs through out, then this is the book for you.
I actually tried to put off reading this book because I was not yet ready to let it go, but my need to read it won out and I am sad to say I finished the book
It was wonderful to see the characters grow and change. I like that it had a little suspense and mystery too. What a brilliant idea that after the story ended, the author gave us a glimpse of how Christian felt and was thinking when he first laid eyes on Anastasia.

SPOTLIGHT ON BOOKCOVERS
course, if it looks good, I'm going to read it . . . eventually.
Author: Kate Evanegelista
Publication Date: April 30, 2012
Publisher: Crescent Moon Press
At Barinkoff Academy, there's only one rule: no students on campus after curfew. Phoenix McKay soon finds out why when she is left behind at sunset. A group calling themselves night students threaten to taste her flesh until she is saved by a mysterious, alluring boy. With his pale skin, dark eyes, and mesmerizing voice, Demitri is both irresistible and impenetrable. He warns her to stay away from his dangerous world of flesh eaters. Unfortunately, the gorgeous and playful Luka has other plans. When Phoenix is caught between her physical and her emotional attraction, she becomes the keeper of a deadly secret that will rock the foundations of an ancient civilization living beneath Barinkoff Academy. Phoenix doesn't realize until it is too late that the closer she gets to both Demitri and Luka the more she is plunging them all into a centuries old feud.
*Synopsis by Amazon*
I just love the dress the character is wearing! Her pose with the gloomy background scene makes it look fantastic!
