What I'm waiting for...

BLACK ICE

by Becca Fitzpatrick

Expected release date: October 7th, 2014

Published by: Simon & Schuster

Genre: Young Adult Contemporary Thriller

Format: Hardback, eBook

SUMMARY

Sometimes danger is hard to see... until it’s too late. 

Britt Pfeiffer has trained to backpack the Teton Range, but she isn't prepared when her ex-boyfriend, who still haunts her every thought, wants to join her. Before Britt can explore her feelings for Calvin, an unexpected blizzard forces her to seek shelter in a remote cabin, accepting the hospitality of its two very handsome occupants — 

but these men are fugitives, and they take her hostage. 

In exchange for her life, Britt agrees to guide the men off the mountain. As they set off, Britt knows she must stay alive long enough for Calvin to find her. The task is made even more complicated when Britt finds chilling evidence of a series of murders that have taken place there... and in uncovering this, she may become the killer’s next target. 

But nothing is as it seems in the mountains, and everyone is keeping secrets, including Mason, one of her kidnappers. His kindness is confusing Britt. 

Is he an enemy? Or an ally? 

BLACK ICE is New York Times bestselling author Becca Fitzpatrick’s riveting romantic thriller set against the treacherous backdrop of the mountains of Wyoming. Falling in love should never be this dangerous.

FINALE 

by Becca Fitzpatrick 

Release Date: 10/23/2012

 "Nora is more certain than ever that she is in love with Patch. Fallen angel or no, he is the one for her. Her heritage and destiny may mean that they will always be enemies, but there is no turning her back on him. But now they face their biggest challenge. Can their love survive a seemingly insurmountable divide. And in the end, will there be enough trust left to rebuild what has been broken? The lines are drawn - but which sides are they on?"

Oh, Patch... 

Ok, I have to admit, Silence did not live up to most of our expectations, but I am truly excited to see how this series ends!

Oh! and from Hush, Hush's Facebook Page: 

"FINALE Cover News!!!"  The FINALE cover will be revealed on June 6th at BEA

lol, kiddos wanted to put their new books in the pic too :)
5yo bought UP, but then realized that it was a chapter book and it is a bit too long for him to sit through, lol! 8yo is in the process of collecting all of the Magic Treehouse Books! I loooove that he looooves to read too!!!
We are going to try to refrain from buying books for a while now! We have more than enough to keep us busy for a few weeks! and I vow to spend more time reading rather than looking for freebies too, lol!
I've got plenty to read now and must get started :) Woo hoo!!!

What did you get last week??? 

My Top Favorites from 2011!!! and Happy New Year!!!

These are books that I have loved reading in 2011, not all were published in 2011, lol! Most are series that I have started and cannot wait to catch up with all the latest release in each one... in no particular order: 

1. The Wolves of Mercy Falls: Shiver, Linger, Forever 

by Maggie Stiefvater

So this first one might surprise some of you since it is a trilogy about
WOLVES! 

But there is just something about the way Maggie Stiefvater's writing really pulls you into their world. Yes, there is a love story here between Sam and Grace - a very strong bond of commitment and love - but halfway through I started to see that Sam's relationship to Beck was a bit more interesting...
I haven't finished reading Forever yet! I will definitely be reviewing this trilogy in the new year :) 

2. Hush Hush, Crescendo, Silence 

by Becca Fitzpatrick 

Fallen Angels... a guy named Patch... sigh... need I say more???
I need to catch up and read Silence a.s.a.p!!!
AND before the 4th book is released in the Fall of 2012!!!
Which has yet to be titled :(  So stay tuned ;) 

3. Goodnight Tweetheart by Teresa Medeiros

Ok, so not my typical kind of read, BUT, it is a one of a kind book!
If you're looking for a very simple and very quick read, this is it!
Teresa Medeiros really captured me with her 'tweet-like' writing - I can really see this happening to someone in real life. It's definitely predictable, but sometimes I feel that I need a read like this just to help me relax and not have to figure out what is happening all over the place, lol! If you have an hour or 2 to just veg out, this is your book!

4.  Fallen and Torment by Lauren Kate

Another fallen angel series... need I say more, again? hee, hee!
I do have to admit that I loved the first book, but the second book was a bit 'tormenting'...
I was expecting more, and I feel like it was just a 'bunch of stuff' that could have been made into a few chapters rather than a whole book... but I'm a bit behind with this series too!
I'm hoping that Passion will live up to it's title!!!

Aaaaaand!!! Look what's due to be released on 6/12/2012!!!
Rapture
The last book to the series!!! I am SO looking forward to seeing what happens to Luce and Daniel...
OH! Did I mention that Daniel to me is a blonde version to MY Edward! {swoon!}

5. The Walk by Richard Paul Evans

"One man's unrelenting search for hope."

Evans is one of my all-time favorite authors/writers!!!
He was my first favorite on my list, and will always remain on top!
I have almost all of his books, but have been a bit out of touch with what he's done in 2011...
The first book I ever read of his was The Christmas Box - a definite must read!!!
The Walk is his most recent series... how would you feel if the love of your life was suddenly gone and no matter how much success and money you have, it all means nothing without having your love by your side... I am very much looking forward to reading part 2 in 2012, Miles to Go.

This is all that I have off the top of my head :)
Of course, I could have thrown in the Twilight and Harry Potter series' since I keep re-reading them over and over again - but most of you know me too well and I know that I didn't have to add them in ;)
Besides, who needs any other vamps when you got sparkle-y ones hanging around! lol!

SO, what were your favorite reads from 2011???
Please, share with me! It seems that I have missed out on a lot of good reads this past year!!!

Hope you all have a wonderful and safe New Year!!!
xoxo
