Midnight Release Experience of a Lifetime

Last night was so crazy loved went over to Mysterious Galaxy Bookstore last night (almost passed out) and I was just so excited I loved just being there and meeting authors who just stopped by.
Holly Black, Elca Cloak and Cassie Claire

The party was for Cassandra Clare who writes The Mortal Instruments series and Holly Black who writes White Cat. Meeting them both felt like a dream I've been to so many author events but never one where I actually laughed throughout the whole event (lots of SC jokes) it just made being there so special in a way.

  Of course since I've gone to so many events I've seen lots of authors crash the party to get there stuff signed too. No joke meeting Kami Garcia again made my night even better Kami is awesome and even while I was crying she took a picture with me.

  Also there were authors which I almost screamed the names out loud. Sarah Reese Brennan, Keirsten White and also Cindy Pon. These lovely pictures were taken by my good friends Darla Greer and Janelle Alexander.

I still can't believe the night I had last night it was a blast being there with friends and getting to spend just a couple of hours with the women who made reading enjoyable again. The way home was also fun as hell because we all talked about the event and repeated everything we saw. Those SC jokes were awesome except Janelle, Darla and Sandy all say I should never talk after midnight because I tend to say whatever pops in my mind.



















Of course I am up to something like this again can't wait to see what event is next on the agenda.

Book Review: Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl

New York Times Bestselling authors Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl give us the meaning of Beauty again in Beautiful Creatures.

Lena Duchannes is unlike anyone the small Southern town of Gatlin has ever seen, and she’s struggling to conceal her power and a curse that has haunted her family for generations. But even within the overgrown gardens, murky swamps, and crumbling graveyards of the forgotten South, a secret cannot stay hidden forever.

Ethan Wate, who has been counting the months until he can escape from Gatlin, is haunted by dreams of a beautiful girl he has never met. When Lena moves into the town’s oldest and most infamous plantation, Ethan is inexplicably drawn to her and determined to uncover the connection between them.

In a town with no surprises, one secret could change everything.














My Take:
The story is so beautiful, while reading it you feel for the new girl in a small town. I loved he point of view from Ethan who looked towards the future than regretted it every day because it meant one less day with Lena. These two together made sense even if the whole town thought she was for the town and because she had a uncle the town only saw him as their own Boo Radley. I very fortunate to have the two wonderful women who wrote this extraordinary story, Lena's and Ethan's fate is not over yet, there still is more that needs explanations for lets just hope for a beautiful ending.


I want to take this moment to say thanks to the two women who gave us something that has everything you want to read because you feel closely to the characters. With this book I was able get the true meaning of friendship and how you can fall in love with someone who is in your dreams. (lets hope this happens cuz I've been seeing someone famous in my dreams.)

I give is a 5/5 rating
