TBR Thursday (1): Lost Girls by Ann Kelley




Hey guys! Happy Thursday!! So today I thought I would participate in a new meme created by Words with Sarah called TBR Thursday. I think this is a great way to reduce our ever growing TBR piles.  So, what you do is you pick a book that's been in sitting in your TBR pile for a good while that you plan on reading/reviewing this week. However, I not only plan to pick a book in this post but also review a TBR book. So starting next week every Thursday I will have a review of a book that's been in my TBR pile for a while and also tell you which TBR book I will read the following week :) But today I will just tell you which TBR book I will read/review next week since its the first post. 

So I chose....*drum roll please*....Lost Girls by Ann Kelley!


This book sounds awesome! I can definitely see why I wanted to review it in the first place :) Here's the synopsis:

No parents. No rules. No way home.
Fourteen-year-old Bonnie MacDonald couldn't be more excited for a camping trip on an island off the coast of Thailand. But when a strong current sweeps Bonnie and her friends past their appointed campsite, depositing them instead on what the boatman calls a "forbidden island," they're just happy to have reached dry land.
Overnight, things take a turn for the worse. Three torturous days pass, but the boatman doesn't return, and what once seemed like a vacation in paradise becomes a battle against the elements.
Peppered with short, frantic entries from Bonnie's journal as she struggles to survive, Lost Girls tells the page-turning, heart-pounding story of a group of teen girls fighting for their lives.

So you guys should totally join in on the fun of this new meme :) What's your next read from your TBR pile?

Armchair BEA Day 2: Author Interaction



Hey guys welcome to day 2! So I have had only one physical interaction with an author at my local book festival with the author Roger Reid. I got so nervous when I asked him to sign my books lol. However, I have spoken with many others online.  When I first started out as a book blogger, emailing an author was very intimidating to me but now not so much because every author I have spoken with has been really super nice! A tip that I learned along the way working with authors is to be polite and respectful when requesting a book for review but don't be nervous because more than likely they are really nice and more than willing to let you review their novel.

Armchair BEA Day 1: Introduction




Hey guys! My name is Cierra and I run Books Ahoy. :) I have been book blogging on Books Ahoy since 2011 and have had a blast doing it! I got into book blogging because I absolutely love reading. I came across some book blogs and thought it would be a cool idea to start one of my own and the rest is history. If I could describe my blog I would describe it as fun and bookish. My genre of book is Young Adult because it seems more relatable.  I love to read because even when you are sitting in your bed reading a book you are transported somewhere else mentally living and learning about someone else's life and I love it! My favorite blogging resource is www.bookblogs.ning.com because it is a great way to get your book blog out there especially if you are a newcomer. Check me out on Facebook and Twitter as well :) Happy Armchair BEA!

Waiting on Wednesday: Panic by Lauren Oliver


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine.

17565845

Panic began as so many things do in Carp, a dead-end town of 12,000 people in the middle of nowhere: because it was summer, and there was nothing else to do.

Heather never thought she would compete in Panic, a legendary game played by graduating seniors, where the stakes are high and the payoff is even higher. She’d never thought of herself as fearless, the kind of person who would fight to stand out. But when she finds something, and someone, to fight for, she will discover that she is braver than she ever thought.

Dodge has never been afraid of Panic. His secret will fuel him, and get him all the way through the game, he’s sure of it. But what he doesn't know is that he’s not the only one with a secret. Everyone has something to play for.

For Heather and Dodge, the game will bring new alliances, unexpected revelations, and the possibility of first love for each of them—and the knowledge that sometimes the very things we fear are those we need the most.
