Here are four (4!) titles that are going to be released within the next week: If you are looking for sequels...       THE REMEDY! Such a gorgeous cover. The Remedy is the full fledged prequel novel to The Program , the heart wrecking tale of a world that is trying to deal with a suicide epidemic. It might sound a little too tragic, but it is totally worth it. The author is such a great writer, it hits you right in the feels.  If you are looking for a stand alone title...      Contemporary titles for days! Not my cup of tea, but definitely worth a read if you are into contemporary. If you are looking to start a brand new series... N/A; Better luck next week! Currently Reading:   Recently Read: For even MORE upcoming releases please visit my Pinterest at:  TaschimaCullen.

Here are four (3!) titles that are going to be released within the next week: If you are looking for sequels...        I love the Taken series covers, they are always so cool looking with complementary colors! I also enjoy reading the series so that is a definite plus. I don't exactly have the same feelings towards The Wondrous and the Wicked cover, but I've heard nothing but good things about the series overall so it is on my "To-Do" list. If you are looking for a stand alone title...    A girl is betrayed by her best friend, and she must uncover the truth to said betrayal by looking through her past memories. Also, the MC is dead and has to climb the stairway to heaven, which is why she gets to look at all her past memories. Contemporary, for fans of Lauren Oliver's debut novel Before I Fall .

 Hello, and welcome to the rage section. Today was supposed to be a happy day, because they released the cover of Every Last Breath , the third and final installment of the Dark Elements trilogy (and one I have been eagerly waiting for). On the one hand they did release the cover of Every Last Breath, on the other hand they went trigger happy and they also decided to recreate the covers of the first two books... Original - New Cover to be released Original - New Cover to be Released Now, this is not the first time, nor the last, that something like this has happened. But I can honestly say I am extremely bummed. First of the original covers have more color to them, the new covers are super bright and only feature the male protagonist of each book (even though the series has a female main character). I just find the new covers extremely.... boring (the guys are hot sure whatevs). Also, not a fan of the font. I had gotten attached to the original covers, and I figured this far into t...

Here are four (4!) titles that are going to be released within the next week: If you are looking for sequels...    I am actually currently reading Miss Mayhem , and it is as light and fun as it's first title was. I am having some issues getting acclimated to the new romantic relationship, but overall I feel like I am back on Sunnydale with a brand new gang. I have Empire of Night on my reading queue and I cannot wait to start it! Specially after that ending from Sea of Shadows . Not everybody was a fan of Sea of Shadows, but I totally was ! I loved the characters most of all, and the world was also very dark and magical (just like the Empire of Night cover). I totally recommend both these series. If you are looking for a stand alone title...     Zeroboxer may or may not be a stand alone. Right now I have heard no plans for a sequel, but I've also heard that the ending would allow for one to come to fruition if necessary. Zeroboxer is described as a ...

T itle: Solitaire A uthor: Alice Oseman S eries: n/a B ook #: 1 P ages: 368 R eading  L evel: YA B ook  R ating:  G oodreads  R ating: 3.95 P ublished: March 30th, 2015 In case you're wondering, this is not a love story. My name is Tori Spring. I like to sleep and I like to blog. Last year – before all that stuff with Charlie and before I had to face the harsh realities of A-Levels and university applications and the fact that one day I really will have to start talking to people – I had friends. Things were very different, I guess, but that's all over now. Now there's Solitaire. And Michael Holden. I don't know what Solitaire are trying to do, and I don't care about Michael Holden. I really don't. This incredible debut novel by outstanding young author Alice Oseman is perfect for fans of John Green, Rainbow Rowell and all unflinchingly honest writers. T aschima's  POV : **DISCLAIMER; Yes I gave this book two stars, but that doesn't mean anything. This i...
