Summer Lovin' Read-a-thon Day #3: "Look at Me, I'm Sandra Dee"

  Hey Guys! Chloe here, joining the Summer Lovin Read-a-thon a bit late I know. Since this is day 3 and MY first day. But no worries, I'll make up for it. Learn more about the Read-a-thon HERE     Participation Post:  

So, for today's post we participants our favorite fictional female character !!!! So MY awesome heroine pick is....

Claire of the Morganville Vampire Series by Rachel Caine

*Note - I've never actually thought of a specific actress that would play her when I read the books, but in my mind she would look something like this...

Bio:

Name: Claire Danvers

Physical Features:

- Dark brown, shoulder length hair

- Dark brown eyes

- Fair skin

- 5' feet

- 110 pounds

About Claire: Don't let her small stature fool you, this is one tough chick! Originally very timid when she first came to the vampire run Morganville, Texas. Constantly fighting for her life has defiantly toughened her up. Shes smart (genius really!), resourceful and will do anything thing to protect herself and the people she loves. And gets herself in and out of plenty of crazy situations. Like the ones having to do with her crazy but AWESOME vampire boss Myrnin. 

Challenge Post:

For this challenge post we must pick a book we have not yet read, read its 99th page, give a summary of it and then decide if we still want to read it :)

Goodreads Synopsis: When Nadia’s family moves to Captive’s Sound, she instantly realizes there’s more to it than meets the eye. Descended from witches, Nadia senses a dark and powerful magic at work in her new town. Mateo has lived in Captive’s Sound his entire life, trying to dodge the local legend that his family is cursed - and that curse will cause him to believe he’s seeing the future … until it drives him mad. When the strange dreams Mateo has been having of rescuing a beautiful girl—Nadia—from a car accident come true, he knows he’s doomed.

Despite the forces pulling them apart, Nadia and Mateo must work together to break the chains of his family’s terrible curse, and to prevent a disaster that threatens the lives of everyone around them. Shimmering with magic and mystery, New York Times bestselling author Claudia Gray’s new novel is sure to draw fans of the Hex Hall and Caster Chronicles series, and fans of the hit CW TV show The Secret Circle.

Page 99 Summary:  So on this page the character named Mateo seemed to see something magical or not of the norm in the MC Nadia's attic. And Nadia is debating if she should tell him that she is a witch or not.

Will I read it ?: Definitely! I loved Claudia Gray's Evernight series and love books about witches so I am sure I will love this. Also the page totally drew me in!

Waiting on Wednesday #4: Daylighters by Rachel Caine

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. It basically   showcases what books, bloggers are looking forward to. This week I'm waiting on:

Daylighters (Morganville Vampires #4) by Rachel Caine

Publisher: New American Library

Expected Release Date: November 5th, 2013

Available for Pre-Order: B&N/Amazon

Add on Goodreads: Goodreads

While Morganville, Texas, is often a troubled town, Claire Danvers and her friends are looking forward to coming home. But the Morganville they return to isn’t the one they know; it’s become a different place—a deadly one… Something drastic has happened in Morganville while Claire and her friends were away. The town looks cleaner and happier than they’ve ever seen it before, but when their incoming group is arrested and separated—vampires front humans—they realize that the changes definitely aren’t for the better.

It seems that an organization called the Daylight Foundation has offered the population of Morganville something they’ve never had: hope of a vampire-free future. And while it sounds like salvation—even for the vampires themselves—the truth is far more sinister and deadly.

Now, Claire, Shane and Eve need to find a way to break their friends out of Daylighter custody, before the vampires of Morganville meet their untimely end… (Add on Goodreads)

Why I'm Waiting:

I love this series SO. MUCH! This has been my favorite books for like two years. I almost don't want it to come out because it's the last one :(

Happy Reading!

Favorite Friday #1 (with GIFs!!!)

In my life I've read a lot of series some favorites, and some..... not so favorites. So, every friday or so I am going to ATTEMPT to post a favorite series of mine. Eventually I may run out, but for now we'll try it out.

This weeks fav... drumroll please...


               The Morganville Vampires series by Rachel Caine

As far as I know everybody and their momma loves this series. And if you don't...

 

                                     SHAME.ON.YOU. 

 Nothings perfect. Especially books, but The Morganville Vampires comes pretty close. It's got Action, Comedy, and Romance AND great characters. Wait.... Can one book have all that? 

You got it dude!

Thanks Michelle. I actually used to see it in the store and skip over it because I didn't like the books covers. I know. I know, your not supposed to choose a book by it's cover.
 

But then I saw the first book at the library and decided to give it a try because I didn't really have anything else to read. I actually didn't think I would even like it. When I started it I was like....

                                            .....then...

...then...

...and once I got to the cliff hanger ending...

...and once I found out the next book wasn't in the library...

.... and then I just kinda wanted to do this...

Bear suicide is no joke people.

 Anyways, it's by the funnest series I've read. It brings a sort of comfort and joy that few books can accomplish. Heres one of my favorite qoutes.

Eve: "We nearly got killed over ice cream."
Shane: "Another thing I don't want on my tombstone."
Claire: "You have others?"
Shane: "*first finger* I thought it wasn't loaded. *second finger* Hand me a match so I can check the gas tank. *third finger* Killed over ice cream." (Devianart.com)

Summary: If you haven't read the series. It's about a 16-year-old girl named Claire Danvers who moves to Morganville, Texas to attend college (she graduated early). After a run in with some nasty bullies she moves in with, Shane, Eve and Michael the town misfits. She then then soon realizes that the town is run by vampires, and crazieness ensues. 

Ah... that's a different kind of crazy.... but you get it.

So, do I recommend this book?

Hell Yes, Son!
