Stacking the Shelves #6

 

Stacking The Shelves is hosted by Tynga’s Reviews. It is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks.

I've had an extremely busy week so I have only managed to add one book to my shelf. I found this at a local Bookstore. I had read a review written by Naomi from Nomi's Paranormal Palace who gave it 4/5 stars and I just had to have a copy.
I've only just started reading it (4 chapters in), but so far, I'm not disappointed.

Feature & Follow #9

 
Feature & Follow is a blog hop hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read. The purpose is to meet new people and gain more followers in the book blogging community. If this is your first time here, welcome! You are about to make some new friends and gain new followers. But you have to know, the point of this hop is to follow other bloggers also. I follow you, you follow me.


Here’s this week’s question:
 
When you step out of your USUAL genre what do you like to read? Best books in that genre?
 
 
I tend not to step out of my favorite genre to often, but when I do, it will usually be in the direction of a John Grisham novel. I like his style of writing. I don't really have one that stands out above the others, but if I was forced to choose then it would probably be The Rainmaker.
 


 
So what's your FF?

Swoon Thursday #9 Silence

 
 

The fabulous girls over at YA Bound created this super HOT meme. Here's how it works.

From the book you’re currently reading, or one you just finished, tell us what made you SWOON. What got your heart pounding, your skin tingling, and your stomach fluttering.

Shout it out on Twitter with the hashtag #YABound, post it here in the comments, or grab the adorable button above and share it on your blog!

Okay, so today my swoon comes from a book, that no doubt, many of you will be familiar with.  I chose it not only because it's one of my most favourite reads, but also because the final book in the series is due out in a few short days and I thought that now would be a good time to share a scene which I particularly enjoy.

Done stalling, I told myself at last. Leaning in, I closed my eyes.
 
His mouth opened under mine, his tightly reined control shuddering through his body. His arms wrapped around me, securing me against him. He kissed me harder, and the depth of my response unnerved me.
 
My legs felt wobbly and heavy. I sank into Jev, and he backed us slowly down the wall until I came to straddle his lap. Brightness lit up inside me, and the heat of it consumed every hollow corner. A hidden world opened between us, one that was as frightening as it was familiar. I knew it was real. I'd kissed like this before. I'd kissed Patch like this before. I couldn't remember calling him anything but Jev, but somehow Patch just felt... right. The hot deliciousness of being with him came roaring back, threatening to swallow me whole.
 
I pulled away first, trailing my tongue along my lower lip.
 
Patch made a low, questioning sound. "Not bad?"
 
I bent my head towards his. "Practice makes perfect."
 
 
The full scene can be found on p265 - 266 of the paperback version.

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.

Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
  • Grab your current read
  • Open to a random page
  • Share two (2) "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page
  • BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (Make sure that what you share doesn't give too much away! You don't want to ruin the book for others!)
  • Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

Okay! So this week's Teaser comes from a book which I obtained for free from the Apple iBookstore.

 He lifted his head up and shifted his weight on his elbow. "Kali, may I kiss you?"
 
"What?" Her brows knitted together. She picked up the pillow lying next to her and whapped him in the face with it. "Are you out of your mind, Chevalier?"
 
 
"Maybe I am. I don't know." He held the pillow firmly with his left hand. "I'm asking your permission this time."
 
"What are you trying to prove?"
 
"Just kiss me," he rasped, struggling with his inner self.
 
She gasped at him, at his demand, and then reluctantly nodded. "Okay, just this once," she said very softly.
 
 
Ahh!! To be asked to be kissed. How sweet!!
