Tuesday Teasers & New Releases 2.9.10
2/09/2010 | 
Posted by
Book ♥ Soulmates
Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading and it asks us to...
- Grab your current read
- Open to a random page
- Share a couple of “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
- BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn't give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
- Share the title & author, too, so that other Teaser Tuesday participants can add the book to their TBR lists if they like your teasers!
Vanessa's Teaser:
"King Nolan was still on top of his spirit-dane when a figure in a scarlet cloak passed through the fighting, untouched, and stabbed him through the heart with her pointed scepter. "My queen...' he moaned, slumping into death, blood leaking from the corners of his mouth. "My queen..."
~p. 27 from "The Looking Glass Wars" by Frank Beddor
Isalys's Teaser:
"Pixie Tip: A pixie's true skin color is blue. Cookie Monster, Grover and other lovable Muppets are also blue. Do NOT confuse the two. Muppets don't kill you - usually."
~p. 71 from "Captivate" by Carrie Jones

♥ Vanessa's Rave ♥
We are all about Alice in Wonderland lately! I just finished reading Alice I Have Been by Melanie Benjamin and boy was it awesome!! I cannot stop Raving about this book. I will be posting the review for this awesome book in March, which is when we will be having an Alice in Wonderland challenge (The challenge will only last through the month of March. There WILL be a winner!)
I highly recommend this book! Isn't the cover great?
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
♥ Isalys's Rave ♥A few weeks ago, Vane did an awesome POST featuring the new cover art for this special edition of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland". You can read all about the artist that designed this cover on the post.
Well, looky what I found =)
Barnes & Noble currently has a section reserved for Alice In Wonderland and during our last weekly excursion, we found it....yayyyy!It is a hard cover book and if you remove the sleeve, the cover is black with a really nice metallic magenta "A" on the front. The paper is also higher density (photo-type) paper. It was worth paying $16.99 just to have this awesome book on my shelf.
Survey: What do YOU think of B ♥ S?
We would greatly appreciate it if you could take a few moments of your time to complete the following survey.
Book ♥ Soulmates Blog Survey

We will leave the survey up until February 22, 2010 allow you plenty of time to fill it out.
Thank you very much! Your help is appreciated more than you know!

iHeart Thursday 2.4.10
On Wednesday, I posted the ever so delicious & tantalizing new cover art for LOTU: Darkest Passion (Aeron's story). Well yesterday, Gena revealed the cover art for LOTU: Darkest Lie (Gideon's story). Unfortunately, he's not rockin' the blue hair that he does in the book but those muscles seem like a fair trade ;o)
I decided to make this my iHeart post because I truly iHeart these covers! They are to sigh for!
July 2010 - Just have to wait for a little longer!
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
This weeks iHeart for me is my lovely NyQuil bottle. I have a terrible cold and this beautiful little nugget takes away all the sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching, fever, so that I can get my "best-sleep-you-ever-got-with-a-cold".
Ahhhhh gotta love it :)

Word of the Week:
SANDBAG
Noun. A woman's unbelievably large "purse" that may or may not be holding cinder blocks. Chiropractors are the real winners here! lol
[EX: "Isalys has a gorgeous Coach bag that she calls ' the one big expenditure of my life'. It goes with everything which is good because it costs more than her rent and she might have to live in it one day. On any given day, its contents may include: a mini pharmacy, her chihuahua, two airplane-sized bottles of Skyy, a Blackberry, and the first season of I Love Lucy among various office and cosmetic products."]
