2011- Year of Awesome

There's a lot of things I'm looking forward to in 2011


There's a bunch of books I want to read-- lots of sequels.

1) The Queen of the Dead
Ok HOW AWESOME IS THIS COVER!!!!



Look at that cover-- Look at how annoyed Will looks. 

It's coming out on June 7th.  Here's the description.---- CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR GHOST AND THE GOTH.


After being sent back from the light, Alona Dare - former homecoming queen, current Queen of the Dead - finds herself doing something she never expected: working. Instead of spending days perfecting her tan by the pool (her typical summer routine when she was, you know, alive), Alona must now cater to the needs of other lost spirits. By her side for all of this - ugh - “helping of others” is Will Killian: social outcast, seer of the dead, and someone Alona cares about more than she’d like.

Before Alona can make a final ruling on Will’s “friend” or “more” status, though, she discovers trouble at home. Her mom is tossing out Alona’s most valuable possessions, and her dad is expecting a new daughter with his wicked wife. Is it possible her family is already moving on? Hello! She’s only been dead for two months! Thankfully, Alona knows just the guy who can put a stop to this mess.

Unfortunately for Alona, Will has other stuff on his mind, and Mina, a young (and beautiful) seer, is at the top of the list. She’s the first ghost-talker Will’s ever met—aside from his father—and she may hold answers to Will’s troubled past. But can she be trusted? Alona immediately puts a check mark in the “clearly not” column. But Will is - ahem - willing to find out, even if it means leaving a hurt and angry Alona to her own devices, which is never a good idea.

Packed with romance, lovable characters, and a killer cliffhanger, Queen of the Dead is the out-of-this-world sequel to The Ghost and the Goth.


Seriously how can you not LOVE this? It's fluff wrapped in more fluff being hugged by a baby kitten.  YES!

2) Plague  By Michael Grant
It's the fourth book in the Gone series.  I'm still behind in the series but I plan on reading Hunger and Lies... but if it's anything teh first book, it will be brain exploding awesome.



3) The Power of Six-  the sequel of I am Number Four.
I finished I am Number Four two days ago and instantly ran out to amazon to find out of there is a sequel coming out... yep there is.  Awesomeness--- There's no cover art released yet and it's coming out August 23.



4) Delirium--  
Holly reviewed this on her blog a few weeks ago and I'm still cleaning off the brain explosion from my computer. I"m sure there's lots of Buzz about this book already but still I can't wait to read it.

But the thing I'm MOST EXCITED FOR IS WEEKEND OF AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  
You can tell I'm excited by all the exclamation marks.
BIG NEWS WILL BE HITTING YOUR EMAILS ON MONDAY!!!

2011 LOOK OUT.  
It's going to be made out of awesome... instead of dates and times and numbers and stuff.

Two Posts in one day- Good New / Horrible news

Good news

I won a contest back in May from Kathleen Ortiz. You can find the link here.

Anyway today my package came. YAY!!!!





How awesome! Seriously. I've been wanting to read Gone for a while, but I haven't gotten around to it and it's really fraking expensive. I read Wicked Lovely A few years ago and it's a solid read. I still think about it now and then.

But I'm most excited for Vordak--- its a super villain guide to over taking the world, but it's written like the wimpy kid books.

YAY


Also two pretty amazing videos are on youtube right now that I wanted to point out:

Hank Green of the vlog brothers does his BEST video ever.




Charlie from Charlie is so cool like, has a new musical project. Charlie is one of many reasons why I like England so much.



Bad news:

Its that time of year. UOMAMWNSATS.

What is UOMAMWNSATS you ask?

Ugly Overweight Middle Aged Men Wearing No Shirts and Tight Shorts time in my neighborhood. Yes, enter June and all the shirts come off. No man wears a shirt. Men with better boobs than me are walking their dogs, squeezing themselves into the tiniest shorts known to science.

It's not just one guy who does this, but like 70% of the overweight middle aged men in my neighborhood. I don't really mind the Russian guy who does it because a) he is in shape and b) he's from Russia there's a big climate change for him. But no one else has an excuse.

I will not include any picture of that, its bad enough I have to see it, why force it on other people.


That's all for now, good night all.
