 In the Shadows by Kiersten White and Jim Di Bartolo

Hardcover, 384 pages

Expected publication: April 29th 2014 by Scholastic Press

From the remarkable imagination of acclaimed artist Jim Di Bartolo and the exquisite pen of bestselling author Kiersten White comes a spellbinding story of love, mystery, and dark conspiracy, told in an alternating narrative of words and pictures.

Cora and Minnie are sisters living in a small, stifling town where strange and mysterious things occur. Their mother runs the local boarding house. Their father is gone. The woman up the hill may or may not be a witch.

Thomas and Charles are brothers who’ve been exiled to the boarding house so Thomas can tame his ways and Charles can fight an illness that is killing him with increasing speed. Their family history is one of sorrow and guilt. They think they can escape from it . . . but they can’t.

I have a bit of an addiction when it comes to Kiersten White books. All except the last two Paranormalcy books that I haven't read yet, I loved all her books. In the Shadows sounds like another amazing book that I can't wait to get my hands on. I also am really excited to see the pictures by Jim Di Bartolo. I'm sure it's all going to be fantastic!

Yes, this count for 5 because it's my biggest bookish heart wish! Eoin Colfer is my favorite author of all-time and if I would meet him... I'd die inside a million times over from nerves and feels.

Listen to audiobook version of my favorite books

So far I've only listened to The Host by Stephenie Meyer and Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer but I'd love to listen to all audiobooks of my favorite books.

Get my 9 y/o brother to read some of my favorite childhood books 

*snorts* As if...

Read all the unread books on my shelves

There are A LOT!

Go to a book event/expo that isn't in Belgium

The book events here in Belgium are pretty good but I'd love to go to one that isn't located here and that are bigger with more awesome books.

Read all books by Eoin Colfer

Because I still haven't. Not by far! But I will do this. I will!

Cover Reveal: Prophecy of the Most Beautiful by Diantha Jones

I'm so very glad to be a part of this cover reveal of the newly redesigned cover for Prophecy of the Most Beautiful by Diantha Jones!

I love this book and the cover is really gorgeous! <3

Prophecy of the Most Beautiful by Diantha Jones 
(Oracle of Delphi #1) 
Publication date: March 1st 2012
Genres: Fantasy, Mythology, Young Adult

She has a destiny so great that even the gods fear her.

Constant hallucinations and the frequent conversations with the voices in her head, have earned eighteen-year-old Chloe Clever the not-so-coveted title of “Whack Job” in her home town of Adel, Georgia. With the onslaught of prescription medications and therapists threatening to push her over the edge, she wishes for a life far away from the one she has, a life where she is destined to be more than the butt of everyone’s jokes and mockery.

Be careful what you wish for has never rung more true.

After living through an attack from her worst nightmare, she awakens to find herself far from home, surrounded by glorious riches and servants…and a few demigods who enjoy killing things. Upon learning that her favorite rockstar is an Olympian god, she is thrust into her new life as the Oracle of Delphi, the prophesier of the future, and the great Pythia that the gods have been anxiously awaiting to arrive for centuries. Setting out to fulfill the prophecy she has been given and to keep her family safe from a demigod Princess that wants her dead, Chloe learns of how great she is to become, all the while fighting mythical monsters, evading divine assassins and trying to outwit the ever-cunning Greek gods who harbor secrets of their own. In the hopes of discovering the Most Beautiful and the truth of her destiny, she strives to uncover the mysteries of the demigod Prince who has sworn to protect her with his life…and threatens to win her heart in the process.

Diantha was born on Thanksgiving Day so that explains why her mother calls her a "turkey." She spent the first 16 years of her life as an official Army brat (now she's a retired one), and has spent the last twelve years living in Georgia (Atlanta, then Savannah). She now resides in Washington D.C. She loves to read and watch movies (Quentin Tarantino is her fave director), and she loves cold weather and french fries (with cheese if possible).
