Random Reads ~ November 2013

Random Reads is a monthly meme hosted by Sarah from I'm Loving Books. The point of this meme is to read the books that have been on our shelf for a while and read the one that gets picked within the month.

For more info go here.

I'm doing things a little bit differently from now on. I have a lot of physical books on my shelf that need to be read and since I read so many e-books lately I will only use books from that shelf that random.org will pick from. That way they will actually get read. :)

It's been so long since I participated in this meme but I'm ready to throw myself in Random Reads again. *squeee* :D

This month's Random Read is:

Title: The Supernaturalist

Author: Eoin Colfer

Published: April 20th 2005 by Miramax

On to-read list since: May 12, 2012

In the future, in a place called Satelite City, fourteen-year-old Cosmo Hill enters the world, unwanted by his parents. He's sent to the Clarissa Frayne Institute for Parentally Challenged Boys, Freight class. At Clarissa Frayne, the boys are put to work by the state, testing highly dangerous products. At the end of most days, they are covered with burns, bruises, and sores. Cosmo realizes that if he doesn't escape, he will die at this so-called orphanage. When the moment finally comes, Cosmo seizes his chance and breaks out with the help of the Supernaturalists, a motley crew of kids who all have the same special ability as Cosmo-they can see supernatural Parasites, creatures that feed on the life force of humans. The Supernaturalists patrol the city at night, hunting the Parasites in hopes of saving what's left of humanity in Satellite City. Or so they think. The Supernaturalist soon find themselves caught in a web far more complicated than they'd imagined, when they discover a horrifying secret that will force them to question everything they believe in. Eoin Colfer has created an eerie and captivating world-part Blade Runner, part futuristic Dickens-replete with non-stop action.

I'm really happy The Supernaturalist got picked as November's Random Read. I'm such a huge fan of Eoin Colfer but haven't been able to read this one, yet, so yay! I'm very curious to see if I'll love it as much as his other books.

What do you think about my Random Read? 

Or do you have one this month?

Random Reads ~ February 2013

Random Reads is a monthly meme hosted by I'm Loving Books. The point of this meme is to read the books that have been on your shelf for a while and read the one that gets picked within the month.

I think it's been a month or two since I participated in this meme so I decided to jump in this month again. Yay!

I asked my awesome ninja friend Em, with whom I have an awesome new Facebook page called: Voldemort - The President of the People who want to Kill Harry Potter Club. Go check it out ^^, to help me pick my Random Read of this month and tadaaaaa...

This month's Random Read is:

~Keeper of the King's Secrets (Susanna Horenbout and John Parker #2) by Michelle Diener

Paperback, 304 pages

Published April 3rd 2012 by Gallery Books

A priceless jewel. A royal court rife with intrigue. A secret deal, where the price of truth could come too high . . . The personal artist to King Henry Tudor, Susanna Horenbout is sought by the queen and ladies of the court for her delicate, skilled portraits. But now someone from her past is pulling her into a duplicitous game where the consequence of failure is war. Soon, Susanna and her betrothed, the King’s most dangerous courtier, are unraveling a plot that would shatter Europe. And at the heart of it is a magnificent missing diamond. . . .

With John Parker at her side, Susanna searches for the diamond and those responsible for its theft, their every step dogged by a lethal assassin. Finding the truth means plunging into the heart of the court’s most bitter infighting, surviving the harrowing labyrinth of Fleet Prison—and then coming face-to-face with the most dangerous enemy of all.

*squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee* So happy this got picked. Michelle Diener is one of my favorite authors and I love this series! Especially since Susanna is Flemish like me and she really excisted too! :D Can't wait to start it! ♥
