A Note:

6/2/13

I once told myself: IF I am accepted into grad school, this blog would no longer be updated. As it turns out, in April, I received news of my acceptance for the Fall 2013 semester, where I will attain a Master's degree of Science in Nutrition.

Running a blog, as many of you may already know, is a demanding side job once the excitement wears off. And once I fell out of the blogging community's loop (have you SEEN how many blogs there are now? Wow!), it was like the kiss of death. Despite my best efforts, I couldn't get into a blogging routine once this happened due to the disconnect I felt from the community.

So I took a break. I struggled with the loss and with missing my blog. And then I realized I didn't have to run Book Faery to still be a book reviewer; I could read my books and post reviews online. I'm still a book review blogger, just not in the traditional sense.

I'll still be online. You can chat with me on Twitter, where I'll be posting links to my reviews and talking books. I'll also be posting links to nutrition articles. And if you'd like to connect with me where I guarantee I will post reviews, just add me as a friend on Goodreads.

So that's all, folks! It's been a fun and amazing journey, and I thank you all for listening to my thoughts about books. I hope we all can keep in touch elsewhere :)

Giveaway: Hush, Hush & Crescendo!

A big thank you to Simon & Schuster for not only granting me the opportunity to read Hush, Hush and Crescendo, but for also allowing me to host a giveaway for both books. 

As most of you probably already know, Crescendo, by Becca Fitzpatrick, is being released on Oct 19th.  To celebrate its release, TWO WINNERS will receive a catch-up copy of Hush, Hush, along with a copy of Crescendo!





Hush, Hush – In paperback September 21

A sacred oath, a fallen angel, a forbidden love.

Nora Grey has had a rough year. Her father was murdered and as a result, her mother had thrown herself into work, leaving Nora alone most of the time in their secluded farmhouse. Despite this, she manages to be a very good girl, never missing school, never even driving without permission.

But when the transfer student, Patch, gets assigned as her lab partner in biology, from the moment the two are together, there's an inescapable magnetism that draws Nora deeper and deeper into his dark world. When she discovers the enormous V-shaped scars on his back, she discovers that there is a battle going on between the fallen and the immortal. And she's the object.

The magnetism she feels is now more inescapable than ever.





Crescendo – Available October 19

The sequel to the New York Times Best selling phenomenon, Hush, Hush!


Nora should have know her life was far from perfect. Despite starting a relationship with her guardian angel, Patch (who, title aside, can be described anything but angelic), and surviving an attempt on her life, things are not looking up. Patch is starting to pull away and Nora can't figure out if it's for her best interest or if his interest has shifted to her arch-enemy Marcie Millar. Not to mention that Nora is haunted by images of her father and she becomes obsessed with finding out what really happened to him that night he left for Portland and never came home.

The farther Nora delves into the mystery of her father's death, the more she comes to question if her Nephilim blood line has something to do with it as well as why she seems to be in danger more than the average girl. Since Patch isn't answering her questions and seems to be standing in her way, she has to start finding the answers on her own. Relying too heavily on the fact that she has a guardian angel puts Nora at risk again and again. But can she really count on Patch or is he hiding secrets darker than she can even imagine?

If you could be any kind of paranormal creature, what would you be, and why?

  14. This is a fun questions especially since books, movies, and television have made paranormal creatures so different. I like being human so I think I'd like to be a paranormal creature that lets me keep my humanness. I like mermaids in Tera Lynn Childs' Forgive My Fins. I think it would be fun to be a mermaid like that.

  22. I would either be a Banshee or La Llorona (Spanish for "The Crying Woman") it came from Mexico, a very well known legend in Spanish-speaking cultures in the colonies of the Americas, with many versions extant. The story is that La Llorona was a beautiful woman who killed her children to be with the man that she loved and was subsequently rejected by him. He might have been the children's father who had left their mother for another woman. She drowned the children and then, after being rejected anyway, killed herself. She is doomed to wander, vainly searching for her children for all eternity. Her constant weeping is the reason for her name. In some cases according to the tale, she will kidnap wandering children or children who misbehave. Email- Mdcarrizosa22(at)gmail(dot)com

  23. If I could be any type of supernatural character, I think I would be a shapeshifter so I could be just about anything. Although, the draki in Sophie Jordan's Firelight are pretty awesome....to have supernatural abilities and the ability to fly...that would be great!

Can't explain it! There are a lot of positives to being one too, depending on which author writes about them and gives them their perks. ;)

    Great contest!

  30. Necromancer. Definitely. Because how great would it be to be able to raise people from long, long ago and hear their stories?! Plus think of the authors, painters, poets and great minds that could be raised. And there is always the ability to control an army of the dead. But I'm not evil so no harm there. :) (Plus I like the way that Kelley Armstrong + Laurel K. Hamilton write their necromancer characters.)

    Dhampyres have all the powers of the vampire, but none of the weaknesses.
    They also have the desire to feed, not the need.

  67. Since I was a little girl I had always loved vampires, so the answer to this question pretty much comes easy to me, I would like to be a vampire. I guess it's the entire mysterious, sexy and undead thing that comes off as badass. Either way, it would be more than amazing, you'll have time for everything and anything, to look into the future and depending on much you stay around the past too. I don't mind the blood, I just wouldn't want to be alone for my entire "life".

  91. This is a tough question. Every time I read a new Paranormal with interesting and strong leads, I want to be what they are. However, if I must pick only one, I would want to be a werewolf. I love how they are strong, powerful, passionate and of course the ability to shift from human into wolf. Also, they have pretty much the entire supernatural world afraid of their awesomeness!! The only thing I would borrow from another supernatural being would have to be immortality. If I went with Kresley Cole's version of the werewolf I'd have it all :)

  97. Oh no...how to choose?! Well, I'm kind of obsessed with vampires....but I would rather be a werewolf or a succubus....but like a nice one. haha.
    Not the crazy life sucker...just suck the life out of ass holes! Sounds good to me.

    Oh! Ok, I got it! :D MERMAID! That's paranormal, right? I think it is...
    Anyway, I LOVE to swim, and I've always loved the movie The Little Mermaid :) Plus, I think mermaids have pretty hair. :) I REALLY wish I were a mermaid!

  101. I would want to be a shapeshifter. I think you get to look human when you want to but still be in the paranormal world.

  102. If I could be any paranormal creature I would be a Vampire no question about it. Okay the drinking blood part sounds gross but as someone once told me if I was a Vampire it wouldn't be gross to me....lol. Plus I would get to live forever and I could stay up all night (which before I had kids I used to do all the time). There is something about Vampires that has always fasinated me. Even before Louis de Pointe du Lac (Brad Pitt) and Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) made Vampires super sexy I was (To quote Stephanie Meyer's Twilight Novel) totally and irrevocably in love with them.

    What an awesome giveaway. I have been dying to get my hands on a copy of Hush, Hush. I have been driving my friends crazy with my need for it.

    I am an old blog follower.

  103. Hmmmm. You know, I don't think I've ever really thought about it. Strangely enough the first thing to come to mind was "a griffin". Is that a paranormal creature? Would I really want to be one? Hmmmm... Let's go with a normal answer and say "Werewolf". LOL!

  112. I would like to be a faerie. I've always thought of them as beautiful delicate magical creatures. Boy have my eyes been opened, but I want the POWER and then I can glamour myself to look any way I want. And supposedly I'd be more beautiful underneath my glamour. I don't think that's asking for much, but I must have wings! Sturdy ones, because I plan to kick some faery ass in some of these books! Hear that Keenan I'm coming for you!!!

  125. hmmm...such a difficult question, as there are pros and cons to so many of them, but if I had to pick one, I'd go with a necromancer. Why? Well, my two favorite supernatural series star necromancers, The Anita Blake Vampire hunter series was never as cool as when she actually raised the dead, and in the Darkest Powers series there was nothing like proving you weren't hearing voices in your head than by raising the dead.

    If I could be a paranormal creature, I would probably be a guardian angel. This answer actually isn't because of the book Hush, Hush, though it is a very amazing book. A guardian angel is strong, protective and cares for others around them. Looking just like an ordinary human being is the plus side; you never have to hide yourself and be afraid of the night, sunlight or other natural weather conditions. The wings don't even have to visible to the human eye! No one could know the difference between a human and a guardian angel, and I would have the ability to save others in danger; placing a good warmth into my heart.
