Why Can't I have it Now (4)

We've all seen those widgets where it counts down to the minute when the book comes out that we've been patiently waiting for. Most of them you see on the sides of people blogs. Most of the time I would say that's okay, but after one or two are up it starts to get to crowded for my taste.

Here is my solution to that.
Every Month I will try and find some widgets to put up for the next two months or so. Since I'm just now starting this it'll have books that I want to read that come out in January only. I may or may not put up another Countdown page at the beginning of January or middle. Those will have February and March ones. Make sense? I will add t this page if I find more for january. :)

Layla Shaw is trying to pick up the pieces of her shattered life—no easy task for a seventeen-year-old who’s pretty sure things can’t get worse. Her impossibly gorgeous best friend, Zayne, is forever off-limits thanks to the mysterious powers of her soul-stealing kiss.

But sometimes rock bottom is only the beginning. Because suddenly Layla’s powers begin to evolve, and she’s offered a tantalizing taste of what has always been forbidden. Then, when she least expects it, Roth returns, bringing news that could change her world forever. She’s finally getting what she always wanted, but with hell literally breaking loose and the body count adding up, the price may be higher than Layla is willing to pay…

Long ago, dragons were hunted to near extinction by the Order of St. George, a legendary society of dragon slayers. Hiding in human form and growing their numbers in secret, the dragons of Talon have become strong and cunning, and they're positioned to take over the world with humans none the wiser. Ember and Dante Hill are the only sister and brother known to dragonkind. Trained to infiltrate society, Ember wants to live the teen experience and enjoy a summer of freedom before taking her destined place in Talon. But destiny is a matter of perspective, and a rogue dragon will soon challenge everything Ember has been taught. As Ember struggles to accept her future, she and her brother are hunted by the Order of St. George. Soldier Garret Xavier Sebastian has a mission to seek and destroy all dragons, and Talon's newest recruits in particular. But he cannot kill unless he is certain he has found his prey: and nothing is certain about Ember Hill. Faced with Ember's bravery, confidence and all-too-human desires, Garret begins to question everything that the Order has ingrained in him: and what he might be willing to give up to find the truth about dragons<

But in a single moment, all her plans for the future are thwarted when her twin sister, Bay, makes an unexpected decision, stranding Rio Below. Alone, ripped away from the last person who knew Rio’s true self—and the powerful siren voice she has long hidden—she has nothing left to lose. Guided by a dangerous and unlikely mentor, Rio formulates a plan that leads to increasingly treacherous questions about her mother’s death, her own destiny, and the complex system constructed to govern the divide between land and sea. Her life and her city depend on Rio to listen to the voices of the past and to speak long-hidden truths

Marguerite Caine’s physicist parents are known for their radical scientific achievements. Their most astonishing invention: the Firebird, which allows users to jump into parallel universes, some vastly altered from our own. But when Marguerite’s father is murdered, the killer—her parent’s handsome and enigmatic assistant Paul—escapes into another dimension before the law can touch him. Marguerite can’t let the man who destroyed her family go free, and she races after Paul through different universes, where their lives entangle in increasingly familiar ways. With each encounter she begins to question Paul’s guilt—and her own heart. Soon she discovers the truth behind her father’s death is more sinister than she ever could have imagined.

Fun: They call me...Werewolf Edition(1)

Hey Readers/bloggers! 

I thought I'd try to start a small feature here called "They Call Me..." 

Have any of you every heard of Ron White? Yes..No. Well if you have then that's why the line "They call me" sounds familiar. If not then let me explain, Ron White is a comedian and one of his jokes (and title of an album I think) is called They call me Tater Salad. So basically that's it. :)

What this feature is about is having fun and making up those names from the Name generators. You know what I'm talking about right? Usually, you'll see them pop up on your facebook feed. I'm always seeing them and sometimes I'll answer them by putting it in a comment. I thought it would be fun to have a place where everyone can see each others. After you figure out what your name is put it in the comment section below and let's have fun and talk about the names that it makes.

I might even get brave and actually make a few name generators myself once I feel comfortable with this feature. I have a few in mind already, and it's book related what! Also I'm going to try and add some gifs that fit with it because people seem to love gifs!

My very first will be The Werewolf name generator

My name is White Beast-Married

Books I'd quit support group for (2)

Books I'd quit support group for was inspired by Ashley's Books I want so badly I could pee posts.

Have you ever just browsed though good reads, or typed in one of your favorite books and gone over to the "Readers also enjoyed section" and scrolled through those. I think that's one of the reasons I find so many books that I want to read. These usually are books that have yet to be published which makes it that much harder for me because I'm like I want it. So here is where some of those books will go.

A high-stakes online game of dares turns deadly

When Vee is picked to be a player in NERVE, an anonymous game of dares broadcast live online, she discovers that the game knows her. They tempt her with prizes taken from her ThisIsMe page and team her up with the perfect boy, sizzling-hot Ian. At first it’s exhilarating—Vee and Ian’s fans cheer them on to riskier dares with higher stakes. But the game takes a twisted turn when they’re directed to a secret location with five other players for the Grand Prize round. Suddenly they’re playing all or nothing, with their lives on the line.

OUTLINE:
My name is Beatrice. When I was born, I was blessed with the Sight. I was immediately removed from my parents and enrolled in the Institution. At the age of twelve, I had my first true vision, earning my raven’s wings. And when I turned seventeen, one of my visions came true. Things haven’t been the same since.

The Institution depends on me to keep the City safe from our enemy, the Dreamcatchers, but I’m finding it harder to do while keeping a secret from everyone, including my best friend Gabe. It is a secret that could put us all in danger. A secret that could kill me and everyone close to me.

The enemy has been coming to me in my dreams, and I think I'm falling in love with him. He says they're coming. He says they're angry. And I think I've already helped them win.

OUTLINE:
In the future, only one rule will matter: Don’t. Ever. Peek.

Seventeen-year-old Ari Alexander just broke that rule and saw the last person she expected hovering above her bed--arrogant Jackson Locke, the most popular boy in her school. She expects instant execution or some kind of freak alien punishment, but instead, Jackson issues a challenge: help him, or everyone on Earth will die.

Ari knows she should report him, but everything about Jackson makes her question what she’s been taught about his kind. And against her instincts, she’s falling for him. But Ari isn’t just any girl, and Jackson wants more than her attention. She’s a military legacy who’s been trained by her father and exposed to war strategies and societal information no one can know--especially an alien spy, like Jackson. Giving Jackson the information he needs will betray her father and her country, but keeping silent will start a war.

OUTLINE:
As an obedient orphan of the U.N.A. (the super-country that was once Mexico, the U.S., and Canada), Alenna learned at an early age to blend in and be quiet—having your parents taken by the police will do that to a girl. But Alenna can’t help but stand out when she fails a test that all sixteen-year-olds have to take: The test says she has a high capacity for brutal violence, and so she is sent to The Wheel, an island where all would-be criminals end up.

The life expectancy of prisoners on The Wheel is just two years, but with dirty, violent, and chaotic conditions, the time seems a lot longer as Alenna is forced to deal with civil wars for land ownership and machines that snatch kids out of their makeshift homes. Desperate, she and the other prisoners concoct a potentially fatal plan to flee the island. Survival may seem impossible, but Alenna is determined to achieve it anyway

What eighteen year old Mac Thorne doesn’t know will probably kill her.

In exactly eight months, five days, three hours and thirteen minutes, Mac has to choose what she’ll be for the rest of her life.

She has no choice but to pick. As a Changeling, it’s her birthright. To Mac, it’s a birthchore. Like going to school with humans, interacting with humans, and pretending to be human during the pesky daylight hours.

Once darkness descends, Mac can change into any supernatural form that exists — which makes her as happy as she can be. That is, until Winn Thomas, the biggest geek in her senior class figures out there’s more to what hides in the dark than most are willing to acknowledge.

Feature: Are you a bookaholic? Lan from Write Obsession

Welcome to a feature I do here every once in awhile called Are you a bookaholic? Where I ask questions that other bookaholics can answer. Want to join the fun? Click-> Fun->Feature->Are you a bookaholic and sign up. better yet here -> Are you a bookaholic?

Today's feature is Lan from The Write Obsession

ARE YOU A BOOKAHOLIC?
Are you a bookaholic (remember admitting it is the first step)?
I most certainly am. And I'm proud of it.

When did you notice you had a problem?
I've always loved books but didn't notice until I finished reading The Hunger Games and couldn't get the story out of my head that I might have a problem. I wanted so desperately to discuss what I'd just read with some else. That's when I discovered book blogging and realised that I feel the same way after almost every great book I read. Totally and utterly obsessed.

THESE CAN BE STRICTLY YES OR NO OR YOU CAN GIVE A BRIEF ANSWER.
Do you lose time from work due to your reading?
I have been known to read PDF format books on the computer at work but please don't tell anyone.

Have you ever got into financial difficulties as a result of reading?
According to my credit card I do, but you can't really put a price on a great novel!

Do you crave a book at a definite time?
I always want to read while I'm eating. It seems like a winning combination to me. Except that I get stuff all over the pages.

Do you want to read the next morning?

Does reading cause you difficulty in sleeping?
I have difficulty sleeping because I read! Reading never puts me to sleep so if I've even opened a good book before I go to bed I will end up staying up to read.

Do you read to escape from worries or trouble?
This is one that I don't do. I seem to only feel the need to read when I'm happy. When I feel worried, TV is my answer.

Do you read alone?
Always. I get distracted very easily and I'm one of those people who feels the need to fill silences with endless chatter so I need to be alone when I read.

TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOUR ADDICTION (You can answer as little or as many as you want for this part)
What type of reader are you?
A slow one. It takes me forever to read a book because I'm a bit OCD and if there are bits that I don't get or there's some plot point that bugs me, I will go back through the whole book to find the answer. Hmm...I feel like I'm incriminating myself with this answer somehow...

What type of books do you typically read?
I'm a YA girl all the way. I used to say fantasy was my favorite genre but that's changed in the past few years. I'll read anything really as long as it strikes my fancy.

Do you prefer print books or e-books?
I'm slowly getting into e-books but I think my first love will always be print books. There's just no substitute for the touch and smell of a book. I guess I'm just a very tactile person. So if there were a choice between the two, I would always try and get the print book.


What are five of your pet peeves related to books or reading?
1. Never enough time to read.
2. You feel like a weirdo if you don't like a book that everyone else raves about.
3. Books that try to overtly push morality and other messages onto readers.
4. Having super high hopes about a new book and then being disappointed.
5. Having to wait for future books in a series that you love.(I agree with #2 THG is my weirdo book. :) and #5 waiting sucks!)

If you had to choose between really good characters and a bad plot or bad characters and a really good plot. Which would it be?
Really good characters and a bad plot any day. I can live through a bad plot if I care about what happens to the characters, but I can't do the opposite. Case in point: House of Night series. The plot could have been good, I don't know, I didn't finish it because I wanted to slit Zoey's throat. On the other hand, Vampire Academy 4: Blood Promise, plot bored me a little but I didn't care. I just wanted to know that Rose and Dimitri would be together again.

Do you always have a compulsive need to buy books or are you someone who likes books, but doesn't always have the desire to purchase them?
I'm a frugal book buyer. I can't think of anything worse than owning a book I dislike. I always check books out at the library first before I decide whether I will buy a series.

We all have those characters we love. Are you more addicted to the tall-dark-handsome-mysterious type or the sensitive-laidback-bestfriend type?
Can I be greedy and say both? If I have to choose, I'd go with tall-dark-handsome-mysterious guy as long as he's not also creepy-stalker-watching you while you sleep guy. Having said that, I really love the best friend angle and wish there were more books where the laid back best friend gets a shot.

I know we all want to read everything, but sometimes we can't. If you could only read 3 books for the rest of your life what would they be?
This question is too hard. The Hunger Games, The Obernewtyn Series and Harry Potter. Unless my e-reader counts as one book.....

Are you predictable when shopping for books? Do you have a shopping pattern?
I'm not an impulse buyer normally, unless I've had a bad day and need some retail therapy. Usually, I will think I want a book for a long time before I buy it.

What one book would you recommend over and over again?
I think you know the answer to this one ;) The Hunger Games for sure. I think I have recommended this book to so many people Suzanne Collins should start paying me commission.
(LOL, Yeah, I could have definitely answered that for you!)

How much does the book blogging community contribute to your book buying habit/addiction/pattern?
100%. You guys have no idea how much influence over me you have! I haven't picked up a book in the past 6 months that hasn't been recommended to me on someone's blog.

MY BLOG IS MY LIFELINE TO THIS CRAZY ADDICTION
What's your blog name?
The Write Obsession

In twitter detail (140 characters or less) describe your blog.
I'm an aspiring writer as well as a reader so my blog is a mix of these two loves. I do reviews, weekly writing discussions and sometimes I just vent about things that annoy me.

How long have you had your blog?
About 5 months now. My how time flies.

For everyone who wants to start a book blog (or any blog) what's the best advice you can give them.
Be prepared to put in the time and effort that it takes to maintain a blog. It's a lot more work than I thought. Be interactive and social because there is nothing worse than having thousands of followers for the pretty numbers and zero interaction. Don't be disheartened at first if it feels like no one is reading your blog because you never know when you'll meet a blogger that you just click with. I've made some great online friends from my blog. But most importantly, don't let it take over your life!!!

WANNA STALK ME- (You can choose which you want share if any.)

Thank you Lan for taking the time and answering my questions. It's always nice to learn a little more about our Australian Bloggers. You guys if you haven't checked out her site yet what are you waiting for go..go. She's super sweet and has some awesome discussions.

ARE YOU A BOOKAHOLIC?

Presents: Michelle at Book Briefs

Are you a bookaholic (remember admitting it is the first step)?

Well, if I'm not then I don't know anyone who is. In the world. The whole wide world.


When did you notice you had a problem?

It was probably when I found out I could not walk into a bookstore or even log onto amazon without buying something. My roommate also may or may not have referred to me as a book hoarder.

THESE CAN BE STRICTLY YES OR NO OR YOU CAN GIVE A BRIEF ANSWER.
 
Do you lose time from work due to your reading?
Ha! Yes.

Have you ever got into financial difficulties as a result of reading?

not seriously, but almost all of my extra money goes towards books.

Do you crave a book at a definite time?

Yes, specifically all the time.

Do you want to read the next morning?

You know it.

Does reading cause you difficulty in sleeping?

I've been known to stay up pretty late reading a book that I could not put down.

Do you read to escape from worries or trouble?

Yes.

Do you read alone?

Only if you don't count the tons of awesome characters I meet.

TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOUR ADDICTION (You can answer as little or as many as you want for this part)
What type of reader are you?

a voracious one! I read everything I can get my hands on!

What type of books do you typically read?

I read a wide variety of books but my favorite are YA. Specifically, paranormal, Dystopian, Supernatural, UF, and contemporary.I also read some adult books in these genres. 

Do you prefer print books or e-books?
I love my kindle so much and its so convenient, but I just love seeing all the pretty books on my book shelves so I could never give up my print books. 

If you had to choose between really good characters and a bad plot or bad characters and a really good plot. Which would it be?

I need a good plot. I can get annoyed at characters and still enjoy the story, but if the story is bad I have a hard time enjoying the book overall.


We all have those characters we love. Are you more addicted to the tall-dark-handsome-mysterious type or the sensitive-laidback-bestfriend type?

I like both of those types as long as they are nice/good guys. I'm not really a fan of bad boys; in real life or in books.

I know we all want to read everything, but sometimes we can't. If you could only read 3 books for the rest of your life what would they be?

The hunger games trilogy

The Harry Potter series

The Mediator Series

How much does the book blogging community contribute to your book buying habit/addiction/pattern?

They are the biggest enablers on the planet! I think that is why my book buying habit has grown so much since I started blogging. Hearing people gush over how much they love a book makes me need to run out and get the book ASAP!

MY BLOG IS MY LIFELINE TO THIS CRAZY ADDICTION
What's your blog name?
Book Briefs

In twitter detail (140 characters or less) describe your blog.

Book Briefs are so much more fun than law briefs, so stop by my blog for (mostly) YA book reviews, giveaways and bookish news.

How long have you had your blog?
Book Briefs is only 8 months old. It has almost started walking :)

For everyone who wants to start a book blog (or any blog) what's the best advice you can give them.

Don't get caught up in doing what you think you need to do. Do what you want- it is supposed to be fun! And don't feel bad about saying no to book review requests if you don't have time or think you won't enjoy the book. It is much harder to write a negative review after a sweet author has sent you their book, than just passing on the book in the first place.

Are you a bookaholic: Theresa at Fade into Fantasy

BOOKAHOLICS ANONYMOUS PRESENTS:

Theresa at Fade into Fantasy

Here's your button. Wear it proud!

Are you a bookaholic (remember admitting it is the first step)?

Theresa:  Absolutely.  I have more books than I have shelves for, I work at a book store, I operate BLB Book Tours, and I'm an editing intern with an online publisher.  If that doesn't make me a bookaholic, I don't know what would. lol

When did you notice you had a problem?

As a teenager, I could always be found in my bedroom with a good book.  After having my children, my reading habits changed due to never having the time to relax with a book.  Now that my kids are older, I have the time to escape into good books again.  As far as when I noticed the problem... that would probably have been last fall, right before I started my blog, Fade Into Fantasy 

THESE CAN BE STRICTLY YES OR NO OR YOU CAN GIVE A BRIEF ANSWER.
Do you lose time from work due to your reading
Actually, since I have the best job in the world (working at the local book store), I'm allowed to read at work and get to pet all the pretty covers when the shipments come in. :)  It's like Christmas!

Have you ever got into financial difficulties as a result of reading?
No, I haven't.  Although books are my favorite things to buy, I never buy one unless everything else has been taken care of first.  When I got the job at the book store and found out that I could get a great discount and buy books on account (almost like running a tab), I had to put a limit on myself.  I'm allowed to buy one book per paycheck.  Of course, there are times when I can't resist.  Just the other day, I ordered Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor because I can't wait to get my hands on that one! 

Do you crave a book at a definite time?
Not really.  My cravings come at all times.  Just last night, I woke up at about 1am and thought about reading for a while but decided against it. 

Do you want to read the next morning?
I usually read in the afternoon/evening.  Mornings are for checking emails, doing homework (I'm enrolled in the online Creative Writing program at Southern New Hampshire University), taking care of book tours, etc.

Does reading cause you difficulty in sleeping?
Occasionally.  I read in bed a lot, so when I am reading a book that I don't want to put down, I find myself reading until I literally can't hold my eyes open anymore.  Those are the nights when I wake up at crazy hours and want to read. 

Do you read to escape from worries or trouble?
Of course!  Who doesn't?  Reading is always my escape. There is nothing better than immersing yourself into a completely different world and forgetting about the worries of real life for a while. 

Do you read alone?
Unfortunately, I do.  I am the only reader in our family and the only female.  Every time I get another book in the mail, the boys give me that look that says, "Mom, you're freakin' weird." LOL

TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOUR ADDICTION (You can answer as little or as many as you want for this part)

What type of reader are you?
(not exactly sure what you are looking for here)
My reading doesn't ever seem to be consistent.  I read one boo
k at a time, read for a few days, then take a day off to get other stuff done. 

What type of books do you typically read?
Everything paranormal, urban fantasy, or remotely creepy :) 

Do you prefer print books or e-books?
Although I own a Nook, I still prefer print books by far.  There's just something about the feel of paper in my hands. 

What are five of your pet peeves related to books or reading?
1.  Dog-eared pages!  For shame!
2.  Crinkled or bent covers (seeing a pattern here?  I take very good care of my books)

3.  Poor editing.  I can't stand it when I stumble over the words of a book because poor editing disrupted my reading flow.

4.  Misleading or extremely vague synopsis's.  The synopsis of a book is what I use to decide whether or not to read the book.  When the book doesn't match what the blurb led me to believe, I almost feel cheated.

5.  Crappy cover art.  I know I'm not alone when I admit that a cover is the first thing that draws me to a book. 

If you had to choose between really good characters and a bad plot or bad characters and a really good plot. Which would it be?
That's tough, but I would have to choose a really good plot and crappy characters.  If a book doesn't have a good plot, it won't hold my attention. 

Do you always have a compulsive need to buy books or are you someone who likes books, but doesn't always have the desire to purchase them?
If I had enough money, I would buy every book on my wish list (which has almost 180 books on it, lol).  Since I'm generally always broke, buying them isn't usually an option. 

We all have those characters we love. Are you more addicted to the tall-dark-handsome-mysterious type or the sensitive-laidback-bestfriend type?
Definitely the tall-dark-handsome-mysterious type!  No contest there. 

I know we all want to read everything, but sometimes we can't. If you could only read 3 books for the rest of your life what would they be?
Wow, this question really stinks for someone who generally doesn't re-read books. LOL  Um... I guess I would pick DANANN FROST FALLS FROM GRACE by Joanne Valiukas, LANEY by Joann Martin Sowles, and DARK LOVER by J.R. Ward. 

Are you predictable when shopping for books? Do you have a shopping pattern?
Since I don't get to shop often, I haven't developed a pattern.  You can always find me in either the paranormal or YA section, though. 

What one book would you recommend over and over again?
This actually changes for me over time.  One that I read last year and still recommend is DANANN FROST FALLS FROM GRACE by Joanne Valiukas.  A more recent read that I loved was GRAVEMINDER by Melissa Marr. 

How much does the book blogging community contribute to your book buying habit/addiction/pattern?
I would say 90%.  The other 10% comes from the books I see at work. 

MY BLOG IS MY LIFELINE TO THIS CRAZY ADDICTION
What's your blog name?
Fade Into Fantasy 

In twitter detail (140 characters or less) describe your blog.
Exploring the dark side of fantasy, including all paranormal and urban fantasy genres. 

How long have you had your blog?
I started blogging about books on October 13, 2010. 

For everyone who wants to start a book blog (or any blog) what's the best advice you can give them?
Be yourself!  Don't try to do what everyone else does.  Find what works for you and stick with it.  Also, don't stress about the follower number.  If you put your best self out there, the followers will come.

Questions? Answered! Feature

Questions? Answered! is a feature I came up with a few months back that gathers questions I find over the internet book/blog related that I think would make for a fun read. I don't do it very often just when I think I have enough questions to make a post. If you don't see it very often that is why.

Questions Answered (2)

Are you a bookaholic?

I've thought about doing some kind of "Get to know the Blogger" type feature thing here at Bookaholics Anonymous. I know you're thinking there are tons of those out there. Yes, that is true but I want to do one as well. I mean it never hurts to learn about your fellow bloggers and friends right?  I want to try and make mine fit in with my theme I have here. I still have a few things to work out, but if you're interested in doing this then fill out the forum below. I will contact you as soon as possible.

 Want to know what to expect?

Here is a sample Ashley Admits she's a Bookaholic. I answered all the questions I will ask. (If you can't hear it's okay.) I went a step further and did it in video format because 1.) I love Vlogging/videos 2.) It's a little more personal, and I like to show the readers who I am. 3.) Did I mention I love videos. You can do it by simply filling out the questions, or make a vlog posting it to youtube (or where ever you post), and send me the link so I can put the video up. However you would like to answer is totally up to you. I am totally game for anything.

I hate a lot of rules, but I feel I should put a few down

• You don't have to have a book blog, but you have to love books. That's obvious. (If you don't have a blog, I can make arrangements so you can still be featured.)
• Once I send you the questions please get back with me as soon as possible. Let me know either way if you're still interested in doing it. I understand life gets in the way. If I haven't heard from you with in a week of sending you the email then I'll go to the next on my list, and come back to you.
• Once I get it back I will post it that day (I prefer to make this a Monday feature), but any day that week will work.
• It would be nice if you were a follower, but it's not necessary.
• Be willing to have a post on your site the day I feature you letting people know about it. So they to can sign up!
• Once you're featured I will make a little button for you that looks something like the graphic above that says sample. Yours will have your site name or just your name on it (which ever you prefer). Then you can proudly show it off with a link back here. :0) I will also link you below as been accepted in to the Bookaholics Anonymous Group.
• Over all I just want you to enjoy it!
