Waiting on Wednesday Vol. 3
Legend by Marie Lu
I’ve been waiting for this novel after reading this articlein the Wall Street Journal (Okay, I saw it on the gossip site ONTD) about books that could be the next Harry Potter.
I’m so psyched for this novel because it is a dystopian novel and is being compared to the Hunger Games series.I’ve been entering every contest I can find just to have a chance to receive an ARC or giveaway copy.
If you see any other contest or giveaways send them my way !
What the Epigraph ?
I love epigraphs! You know, those little quotes, poems or phrases at the beginning of books? I bet you’ve flipped past them without a second look sometimes. Epigraphs are cool because they are like clues to what is about to happen in the book. Sometimes they tie the book to a greater piece of work or set up for some important themes in the novel.
Here is a list of my 5 favorite epigraphs, in no particular order. What are yours?

Princess Bookie’s Cover Re-Design Contest : Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout
A few days ago we made a post gently mocking the cover of Jennifer L Armentrout’s Obsidian. When I saw Princess Bookie’s Recreate a Cover Contest I decided to try my own hand at re-imagining this cover. I am not the best with photoshop, but I tried.
For my image I used a picture from the UK Glamour photoshoot of Nikki Reed and Kellan Lutz. The building in the background is Olgebay Hall at West Virginia University, I got the image via Bawwomick.
Paranormal romance isn’t always my speed, but I have blogged about this book so much I am probably going to go out and get it.
