The Fantastical Magic of Leap Day!

Happy LEAP DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wanted to do something exciting for the occasion. I'm reading three different books right now, as you can see if you look at my sidebar, and I've just decided to to do a Teaser Tuesday. Now, I know what you're thinking, "Silly girl on the internet, it's Wednesday,"and I'm here to tell you that through the magic of Leap Day, it is YOU who are wrong, for it really is Tuesday.

First up is a line from Torn by Amanda Hocking.
"Yes, talking to a beautiful Princess—what a rough lot in life you have in life," Loki said dryly, and Matt snorted behind me.

Next a line from Stolen Away by Alyxandra Harvey.
"Just in time." The phone rang. He looked at it like it was a bomb he couldn't figure out how to diffuse. "Help. It won't stop doing that."

And lastly, but not leastly, Torment by Lauren Kate.
In Heaven, eighteen was the luckiest, most divine number: a life-affirming tally of two sevens (the archangels and the cardinal virtues), balanced with the warning of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse.

I ♥ Trylle


I absolutely love this series by Amanda Hocking!!!! I first really discovered it when St. Martin's Griffin sent me an Advanced Reader's Copy of Switched. Before that the books were self-pubbed e-books, so they were on my to-read list, but pretty low on my want scale (b/c they were e-books, not b/c they were self-pubbed). I loved Switched, and my only disappointment was that, because I read an ARC, I had to wait longer before I could get Torn, which just came out today. I picked up Torn and am about 50 pages in, and so far I love it. I hope to finish it by the end of the day tomorrow, and then the wait for Ascend begins, which comes out April 24. A bonus is that each of the books come with an exclusive never-before-published Trylle short story. Also, aren't the covers just gorgeous!!

Description of Switched:
When Wendy Everly was six years old, her mother was convinced she was a monster and tried to kill her. Eleven years later, Wendy discovers her mother might have been right.  She’s not the person she’s always believed herself to be, and her whole life begins to unravel—all because of Finn Holmes.

Finn is a mysterious guy who always seems to be watching her.  Every encounter leaves her deeply shaken…though it has more to do with her fierce attraction to him than she’d ever admit.  But it isn’t long before he reveals the truth:  Wendy is a changeling who was switched at birth—and he’s come to take her home.

Now Wendy’s about to journey to a magical world she never knew existed, one that’s both beautiful and frightening.  And where she must leave her old life behind to discover who she’s meant to become…


And if you want, you can read an excerpt of Switched on Amanda's website and Macmillan's website.


*The Amanda Hocking link goes to her website, all other links go to their respective Goodreads pages, with the exeptions of the excerpt links, which go to where the excerpts can be found.*

**Also, WOW! I don't I have included so many links in one post before, EVER! ANYWHERE!**
