Unhinged by A.G. Howard Available Now Publisher: Abrams Hardback 400 pages E-ARC through NetGalley To Buy Links- Amazon / Kindle / Audible / Audio Book / B and N/ Indiebound / Book Depository/ Kobo From Goodreads-   Alyssa Gardner has been down the rabbit hole and faced the bandersnatch. She saved the life of Jeb, the guy she loves, and escaped the machinations of the disturbingly seductive Morpheus and the vindictive Queen Red. Now all she has to do is graduate high school and make it through prom so she can attend the prestigious art school in London she's always dreamed of.  That would be easier without her mother, freshly released from an asylum, acting overly protective and suspicious. And it would be much simpler if the mysterious Morpheus didn’t show up for school one day to tempt her with another dangerous quest in the dark, challenging Wonderland—where she (partly) belongs.  As prom and graduation creep closer, Alyssa juggles Morpheus’s unsettling presence in ...

And this time they’re attending Moonstock Himalayan Boarding School, which might seem fun except for the fact that the school itself is a little strange.

And even when they manage to get used to the wildlife, the food is absolutely terrible. But living with a bunch of other kids their age can be a lot of fun, too, or at least it seems that way until Zoe’s roommate goes mi...

So last Saturday, before Mother Nature unleashed her icy fingers on the South, I went to a book signing with myself. Yeah, couldn't find anyone to go with me. So I drove three hours to a very cute little town which I neglected to take pictures of (shame). I was a little shaky. I was in college the last time I drove that far by myself and I was driving in the flat land of Florida, not the incredibly twisty turny mountains of NC. I did get to see why they are called The Great Smoky Mountains. They were definitely smoky looking. But it was one of those gray days where the clouds hang out on the mountains anyway and the tops of the mountains peek through. But I did make it by myself. Thank you Siri for your directions. City Lights bookstore is at the top of a hill and is the kind of bookstore you want to spend a lot of time wandering around in. They have a cat! No,  I did not take a picture of him/her either. It was a great looking cat, too. Black and white, very sleek, it seemed to kn...

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine , that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating. Here is what I can't wait to read! Complicit by Stephanie Kuehn Available June 24, 2014 St. Martin's Griffin From Goodreads- Two years ago, fifteen-year-old Jamie Henry breathed a sigh of relief when a judge sentenced his older sister to juvenile detention for burning down their neighbor's fancy horse barn. The whole town did. Because Crazy Cate Henry used to be a nice girl. Until she did a lot of bad things. Like drinking. And stealing. And lying. Like playing weird mind games in the woods with other children. Like making sure she always got her way. Or else. But today Cate got out. And now she’s coming back for Jamie. Because more than anything, Cate Henry needs her little brother to know this one simple truth: she’s not the crazy one and never has been. He is. I gotta know, what's going on???  So, what are y...

Steampunk with Heart: Steampunk IS Romance with Susan Kaye Quinn and Scott E. Tarbet **see bottom of post for steampunk giveaways** **see Steampunk With Heart Page for Facebook Party schedule** Susan Kaye Quinn: As I was writing my steampunk romance ( ThirdDaughter , The Dharian Affairs #1), it struck me that the term “Steampunk Romance” is just a bit redundant. Yes, some steampunk stories have romance as the main driver of their plot, but to me, the entire genre is inherently romantic. These stories take place in a bygone era (or entirely fictional analogue of one), alleviating some of the oppressive ideas of the past while keeping the lush aesthetics and romantic ideas about relationships and love. How could that be termed anything other than Romantic? I discussed this very issue with fellow Steampunk Romance author Scott Tarbet , over tea and fictional crumpets (the tea was real; tea is always real): Susan Kaye Quinn: Scott, you suggested the title for our little chat, “Steamp...
