Brooke's Books

Hello Everyone! It's been quite a while since anyone has posted on here. Alisha and I tried to keep it going, but life happened and things got busy. Lately, I started thinking about this blog and how fun it was for everyone! We had all kinds of reviews and contests with people interacting with one another. It was a good community for those who loved to read. This is why I would like to announce that I have started up my own blog, Brooke's Books. It's not nearly as big as Alisha's website and it's just starting up, but I'm putting up a lot of the same kinds of reviews on my blog. So if any of you were missing the content on Alisha's blog, you should look up my blog here . I'll be announcing weekly releases (as I used to), book reviews, and other fun features I'm working on. I'm not sure if it will be the same as Black Nailed Reviews, but I think it will be a fun experience! I have missed writing and have missed all of you readers as well. I hope y...

Exciting New Covers Revealed; Claudia Gray's New Book, Maggie Stiefvater, Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff's ENDSINGER!

Holy cow, these covers keep getting better and better every year! I cannot wait for this new Claudia Gray title, A Thousand Pieces of You, and if I am completely honest it is mostly because of it's BEAUTIFUL cover. Sometimes some summaries can sound somewhat similar, and the covers are what make the books really stand out (that is, until the reviews start coming in...)

Goodreads

"Chasing a killer through different universes."

That is basically the gist of this new series. I like the prospect of different universes that make the author come up with a lot of different (perhaps even exciting) settings and characters. I liked Claudia Gray's Evernight series, I just hope this one title fares better than Fateful. 

Goodreads

"The second installment in our epic Starbound trilogy introduces a new pair of star-crossed lovers on two sides of a bloody war."

All I have to say is that I really want to read These Broken Stars, which I currently have but haven't had the pleasure/time to pick up. I really do like the covers for this series though. I like the blend of color, and I think I like the cover for This Shattered World even more than These Broken Stars.

Starbound Series Covers:
These Broken Stars (Starbound, #1)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Goodreads

This is my FAVORITE cover of this series! I love the title and the green colors and the face with the flowers and the hair of the character... it's just such an awesome cover. I read The Raven Boys, and REALLY liked it, have The Dream Thieves on my TBR shelf as well... but I might just wait for Blue Lily, Lily Blue to drop before continuing to read the series.

The Raven Cycle Series Covers:
The Raven Boys (The Raven Cycle, #1) The Dream Thieves (The Raven Cycle, #2)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Goodreads

This cover was up for like a minute at Goodreads and then it was pulled down. I am 95% sure that it's legit (I mean, look at that art work!). I still have to pick up this series, and I sort of tried to start it a few times but always ended up putting it down again. I really just have to get past those first beginning chapters... everybody seems to love it so I shall give it another try,

Stormdancer (The Lotus War, #1) Kinslayer (The Lotus War, #2)


Rating of covers:

1. 
2. 
3. 
4. 

They are all very lovely, but A Thousand Pieces of You takes the cake.

Bookish Question: Reading Stats

How Many Books Do You Read? In a year, what is your set challenge? Do you even set a challenge? When you create an account on Goodreads every year it asks you if you want to set a "challenge" for yourself. How many books do you cant to read a year? Last year I challenged myself to read 80 books. I read 76. I think my initial intention was to read 75, but then I got cocky. The year before that I also challenged myself to read 75 books and read 76. 2011's Challenge... I dont even want to talk about it. The truth is every year I didn't have a game plan. I just read for the sake of reading. Because I love it, because I wanted to immerse myself in another person's world. This year is slightly different. I finished College, graduated, and got a part time job (finding a full time job is a pain in the butt). So I have the time. Most importantly, I have a plan.      Every week I try to read 3 books. I started this recently, since I got my part time job. With 26 weeks left ...
