Title: Independent Study
Series: The Testing#2

Author: Joelle Charbonneau

Pages: 310

Date Published: January 7 2014
In the series debut The Testing, sixteen-year-old Cia Vale was chosen by the United Commonwealth government as one of the best and brightest graduates of all the colonies . . . a promising leader in the effort to revitalize postwar civilization. In Independent Study, Cia is a freshman at the University in Tosu City with her hometown sweetheart, Tomas—and though the government has tried to erase her memory of the brutal horrors of The Testing, Cia remembers. Her attempts to expose the ugly truth behind the government’s murderous programs put her—and her loved ones—in a world of danger. But the future of the Commonwealth depends on her.

It's Monday What Are You Reading (6)

This is a weekly meme hosted by Book Journey where you share what you just started reading.

This Monday I decided to read:

Title: Earth Star

Author:Janet Edwards

Pages: 296

Series: Earth Girl #2

Published:August 15 2013

Publisher:Harper Voyager 

18-year-old Jarra has a lot to prove. After being awarded one of the military’s highest honours for her role in a daring rescue attempt, Jarra finds herself – and her Ape status – in the spotlight. Jarra is one of the unlucky few born with an immune system that cannot survive on other planets. Derided as an ‘ape’ – a ‘throwback’ – by the rest of the universe, Jarra is on a mission to prove that Earth Girls are just as good as anyone else.

Except now the planet she loves is under threat by what could be humanity’s first ever alien contact. Jarra’s bravery – and specialist knowledge – will once again be at the centre of the maelstrom, but will the rest of the universe consider Earth worth fighting for?

Stacking the Shelves (6)

Stacking The Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews. It is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course e books! 

This past week I got:

Feature and Follow Friday (5)

The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of Parajunkee’s View and Alison of Alison Can Read. Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it’ll allow us to show off more new blogs!

This weeks Question:

What book are you embarrassed to admit you LOVED? (try to think beyond Twilight).

Not so much this book specifically, more like the entire historical romance genre.

WWW Wednesday (4)

W W W Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Sould be Reading. To play along you have to answer three questions:

• What are you currently reading?
• What did you recently finished reading?
• What do you think you will read next?

My answers this week are:

What are you currently reading? I am currently reading the first book in Lauren Kate's new series Teardrop.

What did you recently finished reading? Horde by Ann Aguirre. To all the authors out there, this is how you finish a series.

What do you think you will read next? I got Blue Bloods by Melissa De La Cruz as the top book in my to read pile.

Waiting on Wednesday (6)

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Title: Brooke

Author: Veronica Tossi

Series: Under the Never Sky #2.5

Pages: 88

Date Published: November 26th 2013

Publisher: Harper Collins
Set just before the events of Into the Still Blue, the conclusion to Veronica Rossi's "masterpiece" Under the Never Sky trilogy (Examiner.com), this breathtaking novella is a satisfying stand-alone for new readers as well as an exciting glimpse at favorite characters from the trilogy. Pulsing with romance and danger, Brooke will leave readers desperate for the conclusion to this epic and unforgettable saga.

The only fight she can't win is the one for Perry's heart. Following the stunning climax in Through the Ever Night, the Tides have been forced to seek shelter from the Aether storms in a dismal, secluded cave. But Brooke's memories of the cave go back much further, to when she and Perry used to come here together. That was before Perry fell in love with Aria and before Vale's dealings with the Dwellers altered the course of the Tides forever.

Now, with her sister back from a haunting year in captivity and Aria lying unconscious in the sick bay, Brooke struggles to put the pieces of her life back together. Without Perry, who is she? And what is her role in this frightening new world? As these questions swirl about her, an old threat to the Tides resurfaces, and Brooke is forced to put the lives of her people before her own. But in taking this step outside of herself, Brooke may finally discover what she truly wants.

Anything by Veronica Rossi is worth the wait, and Brooke has always seemed like a very complex character.
