You only get one first time . . .

From driving tests to relationships, Valentina Bell thinks she’s a failure, with a big fat capital F. At this rate, she’s certain she’ll be a virgin for ever. So Lena’s friends plan Operation: Popping the Cherry to help her find the perfect man first time.

Yet somehow disastrous dates with bad-boy musicians and fabulous evenings with secretly in-the-closet guys aren’t quite working out how Lena planned.

Soon Lena’s avoiding Operation: Popping the Cherry to spend time with comforting, aloof Jake, her best friend’s older brother, who doesn’t make her feel self-conscious about still clinging to her V card. But could Jake show Lena that sometimes what you’re looking for most is right by your side?

A Forever for the twenty-first century

***REVIEW*** X by Jack Croxall

X by Jack Croxall

Fifteen-year-old X thinks she is going to die. Shacked up in the cellar of an old farmhouse, she starts a journal to document her last few days. Much less than a few days if the things outside manage to get in.

I recieved this book from the author in return for an honest review.

So yesterday I told you my friend Jack Croxall has a new release called 'X'. The blurb intrigued me, so i asked him if he wanted to guest the book on my blog (see yesterdays post for that http://lovebooksblogbooks.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/new-release-from-jack-croxall.html). He very kindly sent me a copy of the ebook too. 

I piked it up straight away. It's a very short book, only took me 15 minutes to read it. But it was good, I enjoyed it. Well, enjoyed is a strange word I suppose, what is there to enjoy about reading a young girls diary entries, her lat diary entries?! But it was well written, and I honestly wished there had been more. There was definitely  room to expand the characters (I know X is the only character, but she talks about her family too), I would have liked to have known more about them.

You don't know exactly what is going on, but you can guess it's about Zombies. A good little post apocalyptic story. Good work Jack!! 

Friday Five!

Friday Five is a meme hosted by http://f.riday5.com/ Why don't you join in?

What’s something you think you could have been good at, if you’d started at a young age?Probably the Piano I think. Although I do have a bit of a multi-tasking issue lol (you know, the feet and hands at the same time), so maybe only with a lot of practice!!

What TV show’s theme song do you really like?
 ONE TREE HILL!!!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gFCW3PHBws

What’s the dumbest dare you ever took, or what’s the dumbest dare you witnessed someone taking?
Not myself, but my brother. We were sitting in an abandoned warehouse (I know, stupid idea), and someone dared him to run across the roof. He did, and fell through it! Luckily he didn't fall, but we were inside and all we could see were his legs dangling through the ceiling!
 
What’s the most exotic thing you’ve eaten?
 I tried Alligator in Florida.

What was the last thing you changed the batteries for?
Probably the mouse for the PC, it always seems to die when I'm using it!

New release from Jack Croxall!!!

I noticed my friend Jack Croxall had a new release out, and the blurb had me very interested.

Fifteen-year-old X thinks she is going to die. Shacked up in the cellar of an old farmhouse, she starts a journal to document her last few days. Much less than a few days if the things outside manage to get in.


He has very kindly given me an exclusive extract from the book too :D

X's journal, first entry:

I spend all of my daylight hours in this musty old cellar now. It’s woeful, and I bet it smelled this bad even before everything turned to crap. Great. My second sentence and I’ve already resorted to swear words. When I decided I’d start this diary (five minutes ago) I thought it would be my poetic and deeply-moving goodbye to the world. Maybe I’d write about love and loss, or maybe even the splendour of nature. Then, if anyone ever found it, at least I’d have left something to be remembered by. As well as my corpse, of course. 

What do you think? I'm looking forward to reading it!

NEW cover reveal with Mickey J Corrigan!!!

So Mickey J Corrigan is getting a new cover for her book Geekus Interruptus! You may have heard that a certain publisher closed their doors, therefore Mickey got the rights to her book back, it was scooped up by Bottom Drawer Publications, and they have given it a fabulous new cover!

What do you think?

I think it's very cute!! If you like the cover, check out the blurb and the video trailer below :)

Marcy Margate has it all: she's young, rich, and built like Barbie. She isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier, but the girl's got sass and spunk to spare. Plus, she's sizzling hot. When her marriage to a real live genius starts to dim and grow cool, she's tempted to fool around with the horny neighbor. It would be so simple to revert to her former loose, single-gal ways, so easy to take the sleazy way out.

 

But Marcy loves her husband, even if Jess Margate is from the planet of the nerds. She decides to play it smart for a change. Using spyware and creative strategy, she plots to find out why her geek has been interruptus. Armed with the latest in miniature technology, Marcy plans to uncover the cause for the downtime in their love life.

 

A modern romantic comedy of hot errors and hotter apologies, Geekus Interruptus is a story for our time. Because these days, nerds rule. And geeks have guilty pleasures too--some quite different than our own.
