Bookish Survey: Cast a Harry Potter Spell!


Created by Jasmine @ Flip That Page

The aim of this survey is to cast spells from Harry Potter on certain books.
For more details go here.






Reparo

fixes damaged objects
A book that needs some serious fixing: Lycan Unleashed by Tiffany Allee. I actually finished this book just yesterday so it was easy to pick. I loved the two previous books in this series and this one was just so bad.


Lumos

creates a narrow beam of light
A book that deserves more attention: Daughter of the Sky by Michelle Diener. Also a recent book I read and it was beyond amazing. It definitely deserves more attention, a lot attention actually!


Nox

counters the effects of Lumos
An overhyped book: Divergent by Veronica Roth. A lot of people might want to kill me right now, but although I did like Divergent I didn't think it was anything special.


Accio

summons an object from a significant distance
A book you’re anticipating: Burned by Karen Marie Moning. Kind of hard putting up just one because there are so many I'm highly anticipating. But Burned has got to be the #1!


Alohomora

opens unlocked doors, unless bewitched
A book you want to be more open about: The Lord of the Rings trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien. I would love to read these books but they intimidate me so much.


Expecto Patronum

conjures an incarnation of positive feelings
A book that made you cry, or at least want to: Tiger Lily by Jody Lynn Anderson. This book was sooo beautiful but sooo sad. Brilliant book!


Morsmordre

conjures the Dark Mark
A book you wish to mark as one of your favorites: Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge. This is definitley one of my favorites. The writing was gorgeous and the story amazing!


Petrificus Totalus

petrifies victim
A book you wish to keep forever: The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux. Yes, a classic one. I just love it so much. 


Protego

shield charm
An intimidating book you keep putting off: The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling. Yeah. I got this for Christmas last year and still haven't read it. 


Riddikulus

used against a boggart
A book with a deceiving synopsis: Sweet Evil by Wendy Higgins. The description of it sounded really great but then it just sucked.


Lacarnum Inflamarae

shoots fireballs
A book you wish to burn out of your mind completely: The Elite by Kiera Cass. Just... awful...


Wingardium Leviosa

levitates objects
A book you wish to reread: Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynn Jones. Amazing book!


Avada Kedavra

causes instant death
Worst book EVER: The Elite by Kiera Cass. Again. Ugh.

Stupefy

puts victim in unconscious state
A book with a chapter you couldn’t seem to get over: One Foot in the Grave by Jeaniene Frost. Chapter 32, yo! :D So hot!


Confundo

causes befuddlement or forgetfulness
A book that generally confused you: A Sealed Fate by Lisa Gordon. This is the only book by this author and it was just all WTF moments throughout it. Yikes.


Crucio

inflicts unbearable pain
A book that was a pain to read: Romancing the Bookworm by Kate Evangelista. My dislike for this book all started with a book being thrown into the ocean by the best friend and since then it was all too awful and painful to read.


Episkey

heals relatively minor injuries
A feel good book that you enjoyed: I'll have to pass with this one. I don't usually real "feel good books". 


Expelliarmus

temporarily disarms an opponent
A book with a swoon-worthy character: Bloodlines by Richelle Mead. ADRIAN IVASHKOV! Don't you just love him? <3


Impedimenta

impedes target’s progress
A book that kept you up all night reading: Darkfever by Karen Marie Moning. Looooooved this book. 


Silencio

immediate silencing
A book that left you speechless after you read it: Daughter of the Sky by Michelle Diener. This book wow'ed me so much!


Legilimens

allows you to delve into someone’s mind
A book with well-developed characters: Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer. Definitely this book/series! Amazing characters that were all well-developed.


Levicorpus

a spell that turns you upside down
A book that changed your mind about a character from its prequel: The Elite by Kiera Cass. It changed my mind for the worse but still it was changed. I used to love Maxon in The Selection but now I hate him.

Obliviate

used to hide memories
A book with a story you can’t remember: Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick. I totally can't remember what happened in this book... And I don't want to.


Peskipiksi Pesternomi

useless spell
A boring book that had absolutely no effect on you: Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater. So. Damn. Boring.


Reducto

breaks through solid objects
A book that convinced you to reconsider a certain genre: Girl with Guitar by Caisey Quinn. I didn't read a lot of new adult books before this one.


Rictusempra

tickling spell
A book that made you laugh: My Love Lies Bleeding by Alyxandra Harvey. So funny at times. :D

Sectusempra

offensive spell that violently wounds the target
A book that may have scarred you for life: I don't think any book has scarred me for life. So far... 


Tarantallegra

makes you dance uncontrollably
A series finale that made you feel giddy: Oracle of Delphi by Diantha Jones. I love this series. Everytime a book comes out from it I want to dance to I'm So Excited!


Bombarda Maxima

causes an explosion that breaks through obstacles
A book that made you explode with the feels: Bloodlines by Richelle Mead. Again... ADRIAN IVASHKOV, people!


Finite Incantatem

nullifies other spells
A book you thought you’d dislike, but ended up loving: Blood Vine by Amber Belldene. Lately I had read so many wannabe vampire books that I gave up hope to find another great series and then Blood Vine happened!

Cover Reveal: Storm Warning by E. Lee & C. Quinn

December 12, 2013

The Storm Rolls In...

Are you ready for the storm? The first book in E. Lee and C. Quinn's Broken Heartland Series, STORM WARNING, has a cover and we get to share it with you today! Check out how pretty it is and then look below to read all about the title and the authors. We also have the STORM WARNING Book Trailer reveal for you!




Isn't it gorgeous?!? STORM WARNING is an edgy Young Adult Contemporary novel and is scheduled to be released December 12, 2013.

Sometimes you can't see the storm until it's too late...


About STORM WARNING:

Sometimes you don’t see the storm coming until it’s too late...

Severe Storm Warning Tip #1:
Be alert to changing weather conditions. Look for approaching storms.

Severe Storm Warning Tip #2:
If you see approaching storms or any of the danger signs, be prepared to take shelter immediately.

Severe Storm Warning Tip #3:
They may strike quickly, with little or no warning.

Situated just outside of Oklahoma City, Calumet County is divided into two drastically different communities: Hope’s Grove and Summit Bluffs. One is the small backward town where dirt roads lead the way to field parties and railroad tracks. And the other, a sprawling suburb where paved drives lead to the landscaped lawns of the wealthy and privileged.

For five teenagers smack in the middle of Tornado Alley, summer is heating up fast. The winds of change are blurring the invisible line that divides the rich and the rural.

One has a secret.
One has a crush.
One has been lying.
One will get caught.
And one might not make it out alive.

They’re from two different worlds…but one summer is about to change everything.

About E. Lee and C. Quinn:

Whether you believe in destiny, divine intervention, or just plain ol' dumb luck, several things happened in 2013 that caused E. Lee and C. Quinn's paths to cross. It may have been that the stars aligned perfectly, or the fact anytime Luke Bryan was mentioned on a social media site both of them were tagged, or maybe it was just that their small town roots and country girl attitudes were magnetically drawn together—calling out to one another, “Y'all should write a book!” Despite geography keeping them apart—Lee in Illinois and Quinn in Alabama—they did. Thanks to three-hour phone calls, ridiculous amounts of online chats, and umpteen Google Docs—Storm Warning is the first book in their edgy new Young Adult series,  Broken Heartland.

This week's question:
What book are you embarrassed to admit you LOVED? (try to think beyond Twilight).


This will be a short answer because I'm not embarrassed about loving any book. If I love a book, everyone may know about it. I also think that nobody should be embarrassed about loving any book whatever it is. 




How about you?
