Book Blogger Hop #4 (7/29 -8/1)

 

 

HAPPY WEEKEND, EVERYONE!!

This is a very interesting book meme!

It's hosted by Jennifer at Crazy for Books,

and runs every week,

from Friday to Monday.

Be sure to check out her blog for

the hop participation rules!

Here's this week’s question:

“Highlight one book you have received

this week (for review, from the library, purchased at the store, etc.)

 that you can’t wait to dig into!”

Well, my answer would have to be...

Abandon
Meg Cabot
Hardcover, 304 pages
Published by Point
April 26, 2011
Genre: YA Paranormal Romance

From the Goodreads Synopsis

Though she tries returning to the life she knew before the accident, Pierce can't help but feel at once a part of this world, and apart from it. Yet she's never alone . . . because someone is always watching her. Escape from the realm of the dead is impossible when someone there wants you back.

But now she's moved to a new town. Maybe at her new school, she can start fresh. Maybe she can stop feeling so afraid.

Only she can't. Because even here, he finds her. That's how desperately he wants her back. She knows he's no guardian angel, and his dark world isn't exactly heaven, yet she can't stay away . . . especially since he always appears when she least expects it, but exactly when she needs him most.

I got a signed copy of this novel at a book event
in my hometown!!

(See my July 24th post.)

I had, of course, heard a lot about the book,

so when I received an e-mail from

Books and Books, informing me that

three of the hottest YA authors,
including Meg Cabot, 

were coming to South Florida to sign their books,

I practically freaked out -- in a good way!

I'm so lucky to live near a bookstore that

hosts these author events every day of the year!

I can't always go, naturally,

nor do I want to, because I'm not interested

in every single book they present.

Besides, I'd go broke!

If a book/author looks interesting,

and the event is on the weekend, I will definitely attend!

This particular novel, being a retelling

of the myth of Persephone,

is particularly fascinating to me,

since I love Greek mythology!!

So, as soon as I've finished my current reads,

I'm diving right into this one!!
