I'm a bit picky and quite a perfectionist so I'm not sure I could have a co-blogger, i think we would end up irritating each other and falling out. But here goes anyway: Wanted the perfect co-blogger Must LOVE to read (mostly YA and fantasy) must be totally HYPER and CRAZY May be required to post at all hours, when I remember or whenever I feel like it. Must be able to cope with my moods and ditzy behaviour. Must be able to read my mind or at least my planner although I forget to put things on my planner - so yeah read my mind! Not sure anyone could cope with me, or I with them. LOL Happy Hopping and Blogging!

Hours of random conversation later, they part ways. Sarah can’t stop thinking about Aiden, though, and wondering if she made a terrible mistake letting him go. Should she abandon her safe, predictable life and go in search of him, or would she be chasing a happily ever after that could never exist in real life?   My Review I was offered the chance to review this and was sent a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Sarah lives in Africa but has been in the UK visiting her sister, all ...

Check it out at Parajunkee or Alison Can Read   This week's question feature is Boarding with Books Craziest thing you’d be willing to do for an ARC you are dying to read (aka what would you doooo-ooo for that ARC you want? *think of the Klondike Bar music*) via A Great Read My Answer: I don't tend to do anything for ARC's, I know that no amount of begging, pleading, bribery or violence will get me one so I don't really do anything. Publishers have lists of people they use and if you are lucky there will be extras so at most I send an email asking or would consider making a youtube video if they asked for it, but overall I wouldn't do anything extreme. Maybe I have become jaded over my years as a blogger, but sometimes you have to know when you are beaten. Happy Hopping and Blogging!

It's also the anniversary of Dystopia day; a catastrophic world-wide blackout, and the day Sasha's mother disappeared. Three years on, the world has started to recover. But for Sasha, everything is falling apart...   My Review I picked this book up in the Summer at the London Film and Comic Con- they had a massive author festival alongside it and Anthony Ergo was there. This book looked good and I had a quick chat with him, then decided to give this book a try. But I've been manic busy ever since so only just got round to reading it. Sasha is very superstitious and she hates the number 13, this isn't helped by the fact that there was a world wide disaster on the 13th three years ago, a disaster that caused her mother to disappear and the world to go ma...
