Books!!

Monday, February 8th, 2010

My be-a-better-blogger experiment = fail. Already! It’s only February and I’m already a bad blogger! I think part of the problem is that I keep waiting for something “worthwhile” to blog about. Like I’m some big-time news columnist and people are just waiting by their computers for me to unleash my profound wisdom on them or something. This is what my psychiatrist husband would call “Delusions of Grandeur.” In other words, I should just get over myself and blog about . . . something.

See?? It’s a vicious cycle!

Today, however, is a good day because I not only have TWO worthwhile things to blog about, they happen to be amazingly awesome as well.

First, my critique partner, Stacey Jay’s, awesome new book is out!

UndeadMuch

Isn’t this the most adorable cover ever??!!  It’s almost as cute as the cover of the first book in the Megan Berry series–

See? It’s like cuteness squared (cuteness ²? I told you I pretty much flunked all subjects involving numbers. Probably because I was too busy reading the romance novels stashed inside my math book). Anyway, think how cute these would look standing side by side on your bookshelf! And they are totally not just all cover. Both books are so, so fun. And I’m not just saying that because Stacey is my critique partner and I get to make fun of her giant clown mouth. Hello? That’s WHY she’s my CP, because she writes totally awesome stories. Duh. Who wants a crappy CP?

Too read more about Undead, go to our blog Zombies in Tiaras!

Second, Rhonda Stapleton has a new book out too, and its cover is equally adorable!

And it’s also not just all-cover! I know, because I just finished reading it. SO good. And it will totally put you in the mood for Valentine’s Day. Plus, I have been hotel roomies with Rhonda and she did not hog the blankets or the bathroom (although I did catch her and Mandy Hubbard stalking a dude through the window) so you know she has to be a good person and we like to buy good people’s books.
Here is a preview:
Felicity’s no ordinary teen matchmaker…she’s a cupid!Felicity Walker believes in true love. That’s why she applies for a gig at the matchmaking company Cupid’s Hollow. But when Felicity gets the job, she learns that she isn’t just a matchmaker…she’s a cupid! (There’s more than one of them, you know.)

Armed with a hot pink, tricked-out PDA infused with the latest in cupid magic (love arrows shot through email), Felicity works to meet her quota of successful matches. But when she bends the rules of cupidity by matching her best friend Maya with three different boys at once, disaster strikes. Felicity needs to come up with a plan to set it all right, pronto, before she gets fired?and before Maya ends up with her heart split in three.

 

So if you’re looking for something new to read, go check ’em out!
