US vs. UK (Round 7)

'Tis time for another
US vs. UK - Round 7

This week The Hollow and The Haunted by Jessica Verday go head to head ... OR rather book to book ... in a battle of US (left) vs. UK (right)!

The Hollow - Book # 1



The Haunted - Book # 2




I'm gonna have to go with the US on this one as well! I love the vibrancy of the colors on The Hollow cover and the kaleidoscope effect of The Haunted cover. There's a certain melancholy and haunted eeriness that seems very suited to the story.

Random Thought: Doesn't the girl on the cover of The Hollow totally remind you guys of Mila Kunis?!

What say YOU...which series of covers do you like more?

Facebook Question...



Attention fellow Facebooking Bloggers!!

I have a question for you all...

Most of you know that we have a Facebook Profile as well as an FB Fan Page. We are being inundated with daily friend requests on our profile - which is all fine & dandy - although we'd prefer that they be a follower of the blog or a fan of our Fan Page. However, these preferred options seem to be getting lost somewhere. Many of the friend requests we get seem to be legitimate {authors, fellow bloggers and readers}, which we are all too happy to accept. However, many others are from people who are downright creepy, don't look like they can even read OR just want to use our page as a forum to push their own products {music, art, shoes, make-up, jewelry, etc}. We are NOT a public service station - as if the name BOOK Soulmates wasn't obvious enough!

I have made a note on our profile that we will ONLY accept friend requests if we are given a reason why - but who knows how well that will work?! I wish there was some sort of "required question" option.

Anyhoo...
Do any of you have any suggestions that could help us promote our Fan Page instead of our actual profile?


Thanks in advance for ANY helpful feedback,
♥ Isalys

Teaser Tuesday 9.28.10

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.
Isalys's Teaser:
"She will be quite safe here, I assure you." Lifting his eyes from the linen, he assessed the air elemental as he might a bolt of cloth, finding every imperfection in the fabric's weft and warp. "Perhaps safer that she would be in your company?"

Ariel flushed at the suggestion and followed Waschbar, pausing only to add, "If you need me, Bertie, I'll just be outside." With a final scowl for the Keeper of the Costumes, he slammed the door shut behind him.

"What made you say that?" Bertie asked after a moment.

"About your safety?" Valentijn stood and help up the chemise, measuring her again with his eyes. "A blind man could see that man would die for you, but that doesn't mean you won't die alongside him."

~p. 167 from "Perchance to Dream " by Lisa Mantchev

Review: One Touch of Scandal by L. Carlyle

Title: One Touch of Scandal
Author: Liz Carlyle
Publish Date: September 28, 2010
by Avon
Pages: 384, paperback
Reason for reading: Reviewed for The Season

Note: Bev over at The Season is hosting a Liz Carlyle Blogathon this week starting today ~ and since this is the first day, she's doing something really special!

Bev is featuring my review {below} as today's post on The Season as well as the October issue of The Season E-zine. Since Liz Carlyle's favorite charity is Cat Angels, Avon Books has generously offered to contribute $1.00 for every comment up to $3000, which equates to 3000 comments. Bev's goal for The Season Blog is to get at least 400 comments on her post. If we hit that goal, she will contribute $50 of her own money to this wonderful charity.


And in addition to helping out, your comment will also enter you to win 1 of 2 copies of ONE TOUCH OF SCANDAL.

Review Teaser:

Grace Gauthier has been accused of murdering her employer in cold blood who, incidentally, she was engaged to. Forced to leave her home and the family she has grown to love, she sets out to clear her name. To do so, she seeks the help of longtime friend Lord Rance Welham, but when she visits the address she’s been given for him, she learns that he’s out of town and is not expected for several weeks. Instead, she inadvertently acquires the help of the very dark and mysterious Lord Adrian Ruthveyn who stirs some very unexpected feelings in her - including fear and lust.

With a mysterious murder to solve, a variety of mystical elements in play, and a surprising twist involving an unexpected villain, this isn't your run of the mill romance and is a great addition to any bookshelf.

PLEASE don't forget to leave Bev a comment and help her reach her goal!!

Book Review Vlog: Blameless by G. Carriger

Good morning kiddos and happy Thursday!

I decided to conduct a little experiment and VLOG about a book I love instead of just writing a review!

Check it out and tell me what you guys think :)




Notes:*Please pardon my dog! He's a little lick-monster and I've simply learned to ignore him, lol.

**I realized after the fact that my hand gestures indicate that Alexia's prego belly starts at her boobs - whoops! Watching the video now, I realize how funny this looks! HAHA

Now, to vlog review or not vlog review - that is the question?

Would you guys like to see more video reviews?

Teaser Tuesday 9.21.10

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.

    • Isalys's Teaser:
    "What a strange situation to be in, Harald thought. The two of them, both wanting the same woman, both unwilling to allow her to be hurt, both having been involved in the worst thing ever to happen to her. The two of them friends, unwilling to hurt each other. And all three using the others for their own reasons. How could this turn out well?"

    ~p. 100 from "A Storm of Pleasure" by Terri Brisbin

    Oh geez, what a mess! They really are in a pickle now, aren't they?
