"Baby It's Cold Outside" Giveaway Hop
December 10-17, 2012
Hi, Kim and I are excited
to be joining you on this blog hop! Depending on where you are located
it is cold and yucky outside. What is better way to pass the winter
blues than with an amazing book. For this giveaway we want to share
The Sea Of Tranquility with you.
Cuddle up, get comfy, and lose a few of those dreary cold hours with Nastya & Josh, you won't regret it!
Our Giveaway
I live in a world
without magic or miracles. A place where there are no clairvoyants or
shapeshifters, no angels or superhuman boys to save you. A place where
people die and music disintegrates and things suck. I am pressed so hard
against the earth by the weight of reality that some days I wonder how I
am still able to lift my feet to walk.
Former piano prodigy
Nastya Kashnikov wants two things: to get through high school without
anyone learning about her past and to make the boy who took everything
from her—her identity, her spirit, her will to live—pay.
Josh
Bennett’s story is no secret: every person he loves has been taken from
his life until, at seventeen years old, there is no one left. Now all
he wants is be left alone and people allow it because when your name is
synonymous with death, everyone tends to give you your space.
Everyone
except Nastya, the mysterious new girl at school who starts showing up
and won’t go away until she’s insinuated herself into every aspect of
his life. But the more he gets to know her, the more of an enigma she
becomes. As their relationship intensifies and the unanswered questions
begin to pile up, he starts to wonder if he will ever learn the secrets
she’s been hiding—or if he even wants to.
The Sea of Tranquility
is a rich, intense, and brilliantly imagined story about a lonely boy,
an emotionally fragile girl, and the miracle of second chances.
You open up this book and you begin this twisted adventure of discovery.
It draws you in, the characters get under your skin, you cannot turn
pages fast enough to see what is coming next. You cannot help but become
invested in Nastya and Josh.
It is a journey of discovery of themselves and each other. Pieces of their past are unraveled slowly and you see how it has shaped their present. You find yourself hoping that enough healing can occur so that this couple can save each other and themselves. It is emotional. It is heartbreaking. It is inspiring. It gives you hope.
This book is emotional and hard at times, but it is not depressing. Through the entire book there is sharp wit, sarcasm, and humor that makes you chuckle despite the heavy subject matter.

DeleteMy favorite book right now and that I can't get out of my head On the Island by Tracey Garvis-Graves. Amazing book.
ReplyDeleteOne question, I don't know if this is international?
Ana, yes, it is international. Not sure if I can get behind this one. I am close to that chicks age with a 14 year old son, so it throws me a bit. Kim wants to read it though so I may wait for my partner in crime to check it out and let me know.
DeleteAh yes, I totally get your POV. I was a little skeptical at first but it's tasteful and everything on the right time :) But I totally understand where you're coming from and thank you :)
DeleteI will definitely give it some thought. I mean if I can come out reading Captive in the Dark and LOVING it I should be able to read anything right?
DeleteI keep seeing this book everywhere. The cover is so interesting with the face images/ice cream/pavement. Thanks for a great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and thanks for the blog stop.

Forgot my current favorite read. I discovered Gini Koch, when I was voting on Goodreads 2012 annual awards. It seemed that everyone in that particular genre I had read and enjoyed except for her. So, I found the first book in her Katherine Katt series and was thrilled and devoured the rest in the series. The lastest just came out and was as good as the rest. The genre is science fiction, but the writing style is similar to MaryJanice Davidson's Queen Betsy series or Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series. They are just laugh out loud funny.
DeleteMerry Christmas Judy and thanks for the suggestions!
DeleteFavorite series this year..tie between Thoughtless & Bared. Thanks for the giveaway. This book is divine! wjmcummins@gmail.com

DeleteMy favorite seris is the Thoughtless series by S.C. Stephens!
ReplyDeleteI am a HUGE HUGE HUGE Kellan fan and can't wait for March. Was so sad when they pushed the publication date back. Great choice!
DeleteJuly another fave of ours too! Awesome choice..:)
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about that I meant Julie!
ReplyDeleteAnything by Jennifer Armentrout. I LOVED the Covenant and Lux series so much! Have you read them?
ReplyDeleteWe have the Lux series, can't wait to read it. Although I hear there is a major cliff hanger and I am not one to be left hanging patiently..:)
DeleteMy current favorite read is Project ELE by Rebecca Gober & Courtney Nuckels. It's young adult (characters 16-17) dystopian with paranormal twists and romantic flair.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win!
Thanks for the suggestion Brooke, will have to check it out.
