This is a debut author, which I've been reading a lot lately. And it doesn't help that I keep seeing different giveaways for this book. And when I do see package giveaways, where there's more than one books, I always enter the one with this book in the list. And, as usual, the cover is marvellous.

Mayday Monday (#1)

Mayday Monday is a new meme that I decided to start myself. Everybody knows what Waiting Wednesday is, or Desperately Waiting Wednesday, but I've noticed that nobody does anything for Monday's. Do we have something against that day or something? Because I think that all days of the week should be loved just as equally as the next. So that's why I've decided to start Mayday Monday. This was inspired by this show Mayday that I watch on Discovery Channel. This will feature books that I most definitely want to read. I am waving my arms and wanting to read them. It doesn't matter whether or not the book has come out. But most likely, these books probably won't have come out yet.
