Coming up next… #32: The Book of Broken Hearts, Sarah Ockler

May 11, 2013 Coming up next... 3 Comments Post em Português
Coming up next… has been loosely inspired on Should Be Reading’s Teaser Tuesdays, but we decided not to have a specific day for it, and we modified a few details from the original. On Coming up next… we’ll talk a little bit about a book we’re reading or we have already finished reading, but its review has not been published yet.

How it’s going to work: We’ll post an excerpt of the book,
without spoilers, and we’ll make a little note about our reading,
with an expected publication date for the review, if any.

The Book of Broken HeartsOur book for today’s Coming up next… is Sarah Ockler’s The Book of Broken Hearts. The book will break your heart, exactly in the same way it has been breaking ours while reading. A tale as much about love as about family, that will let you tired from crying and seeing beauty in pain, but in the end will be completely worth it.

There’s an excerpt below:

“And in that moment, I felt alive. Whole. Protected from the ravages of time and completely immune to its passing.

Nothing about this could ever end in tears.“

Our review of The Book of Broken Hearts should be up until the end of the month.

Is it out yet? has been loosely inspired on Breaking the Spine’s
Waiting on Wednesday, but we decided not to have a specific day for it,
and we modified a few details from the original. On Is it out yet?
we’ll talk a little bit about a book we’re anxious to be released and why.

Attention! This is the third book of the Divergent series,
so if you haven’t read the series, Divergent and Insurgent
yet and don’t want to know spoilers, don’t read this post!

AllegiantOne choice will define you.

What if your whole world was a lie?

What if a single revelation—like a single choice—changed everything?

What if love and loyalty made you do things you never expected?

The explosive conclusion to Veronica Roth’s #1 New York Times bestselling Divergent trilogy reveals the secrets of the dystopian world that has captivated millions of readers in Divergent and Insurgent.

Review: Me Before You, Jojo Moyes

May 6, 2013 Reviews 4 Comments Post em Português

Me Before YouLou Clark knows lots of things. She knows how many footsteps there are between the bus stop and home. She knows she likes working in The Buttered Bun tea shop and she knows she might not love her boyfriend Patrick.

What Lou doesn’t know is she’s about to lose her job or that knowing what’s coming is what keeps her sane.
Will Traynor knows his motorcycle accident took away his desire to live. He knows everything feels very small and rather joyless now and he knows exactly how he’s going to put a stop to that.

What Will doesn’t know is that Lou is about to burst into his world in a riot of colour. And neither of them knows they’re going to change the other for all time.

Review: Gabriel’s Inferno, Sylvain Reynard

May 5, 2013 Reviews 4 Comments Post em Português

Gabriel's InfernoEnigmatic and sexy, Professor Gabriel Emerson is a well respected Dante specialist by day, but by night he devotes himself to an uninhibited life of pleasure. He uses his notorious good looks and sophisticated charm to gratify his every whim, but is secretly tortured by his dark past and consumed by the profound belief that he is beyond all hope of redemption.

When the sweet and innocent Julia Mitchell enrolls as his graduate student, his attraction and mysterious connection to her not only jeopardizes his career, but sends him on a journey in which his past and his present collide. An intriguing and sinful exploration of seduction, forbidden love and redemption, “Gabriel’s Inferno” is a captivating and wildly passionate tale of one man’s escape from his own personal hell as he tries to earn the impossible…forgiveness and love.

Sea FeverMy book for today’s Coming up next… is Sarah Mason’s Sea Fever, a book I’ve been wanting to read for some months now. I liked it very much but, at the same time, I think I was expecting to love it, and got a little frustrated in my expectations.

There’s an excerpt below:

“You can’t come with me (…) because if I spent another week with you then I wouldn’t be able to let you go. And that really wouldn’t be fair on you. You deserve someone who can look after you.”

My review of Sea Fever should be up in the beginning of next month.

Review: Thoughtless, S.C. Stephens

April 21, 2013 Reviews 3 Comments Post em Português

ThoughtlessFor almost two years now, Kiera’s boyfriend, Denny, has been everything she’s ever wanted: loving, tender and endlessly devoted to her.

When they head off to a new city to start their lives together, Denny at his dream job and Kiera at a top-notch university, everything seems perfect. Then an unforeseen obligation forces the happy couple apart.

Feeling lonely, confused, and in need of comfort, Kiera turns to an unexpected source—a local rock star named Kellan Kyle. At first, he’s purely a friend that she can lean on, but as her loneliness grows, so does their relationship.

And then one night everything changes… And none of them will ever be the same.

Review: Pandemonium, Lauren Oliver

April 18, 2013 Reviews 6 Comments Post em Português
Attention! If you haven’t read Delirium yet and don’t want to know spoilers of the series, don’t read this post!

PandemoniumI’m pushing aside the memory of my nightmare,
pushing aside thoughts of Alex,
pushing aside thoughts of Hana and my old school,
push,
push,
push,
like Raven taught me to do.
The old life is dead.
But the old Lena is dead too.
I buried her.
I left her beyond a fence,
behind a wall of smoke and flame.

Lauren Oliver delivers an electrifying follow-up to her acclaimed New York Times bestseller, Delirium. This riveting, brilliant novel crackles with the fire of fierce defiance, forbidden romance, and the sparks of a revolution about to ignite.
