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 :)

Guest Post & Giveaway with Jessica Sims

Hey all, please give a warm welcome to Jessica Sims, who is kind enough to stop by Book Faery today to talk about her new book with us! 

 
Dating Agency Deadbeats 
by Jessica Sims
 
 
BEAUTY DATES THE BEAST is the first book in a new series that revolves around a paranormal dating agency. With any dating agency, the clients bring a little something unique to the table. With the ‘paranormal’ tossed in, it can make a client that might normally be difficult to pair up…hellishly difficult to find a date.
 
Let’s take vampires, for example. If a vampire is sexy, irresistible, suave, and wealthy…he doesn’t need a dating agency, right? He can find his own dates. The vampires that are going to need dates? Are going to be awkward undead. They’re going to be the vampires that aren’t rich, aren’t sexy. Maybe they have an undead beer gut. Maybe they have sweaty hands. Maybe they’re allergic to certain blood types. 
 
And now that you’ve got a guy with an obvious design flaw, you’ve got to find him a date. Let’s face it – a dead guy is going to be hard to pair up with anyone other than a dead girl. That narrows the pool. 
 
My series has a shifter-focus – many of the characters we meet are were-cougars, were-tigers, were-bears, were-lions, and even were-otters and foxes. Those are all fun and fairly sexy, virile predators, right? But not every shifter is something sexy. A were-snake? Not sexy. A were-badger? Bad tempered and looks like a skunk. Gonna be hard to find that one a mate. 
 
And then there are the truly awkward. In my book, there’s an awkward harpy (were-avian) that seems to strike out more than she scores.  
Of course, these are all the kinds of shifters that would need such an agency, right? Which is why Midnight Liaisons stays in business. They’re there to help try and pair up the supernatural, because not all supernaturals are sexy and can get the girl. Sometimes…they need help. 



Giveaway


WANTED Single human female to join charming, wealthy, single male were-cougar for a night of romantic fun—and maybe more.

Me: The tall, sensuous, open-minded leader of my clan.

You: A deliciously curvy virgin who’s intimately familiar with what goes bump in the night. Must not be afraid of a little tail. Prefer a woman who’s open to exploring her animal nature. Interest in nighttime walks through the woods a plus.

My turn-ons include protecting you from the worst the supernatural world has to offer. Ready for an adventure? Give me a call. 

Vampires and doppelgangers need not apply.

  1. I like the cover. The man's eyes are so neat. I guess because he is a were-cougar. The blurb is neat too, might be kinda hard to find a woman to meet those criteria. Thanks for the giveaway.
