Best Australian Blogs 2014 Competition – People’s Choice Award

Apr 4, 2014

Hey Everyone, a few weeks ago I entered the Best Australian Blogs 2014 Competition and one of the categories is People’s Choice Awards.

Today I received an email saying that the Peoples Choice is now open for voting. It would not only be amazing if you lovely people vote for me, but if I won. I really don’t know what would happen to me, how I would feel if that did happen. I am up against 1125 other blogs in this category and I may be a small blog, but with your help, I don’t know what might come from it.

Voting only takes a couple of minutes. My blog is on the first page of blogs as Angel Reads. Voting is open until May 5th.

Thank you for all your support and if you vote for me, I thank you with all my heart.

Synopsis

In a world of shadows, anything is possible. Except escaping your fate.

Ever since she was a child, Ivy has been gripped by visions of strange realms just beyond her own. But when her sister goes missing, Ivy discovers the truth is far worse—her hallucinations are real, and her sister is trapped in a parallel realm. And the one person who believes her is the dangerously attractive guy who’s bound by an ancient legacy to betray her.

Adrian might have turned his back on those who raised him, but that doesn’t mean he can change his fate…no matter how strong a pull he feels toward Ivy. Together they search for the powerful relic that can save her sister, but Adrian knows what Ivy doesn’t: that every step brings Ivy closer to the truth about her own destiny, and a war that could doom the world. Sooner or later, it will be Ivy on one side and Adrian on the other. And nothing but ashes in between…

What am I waiting?

This sounds very intriguing. I haven’t read much supernatural lately and this sounds perfect for me.

What are you waiting on this Wednesday?

Apr 1, 2014

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they post a new Top Ten list that members at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. All bloggers are then welcomed to join. This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is: Top Ten “Gateway” Books/Authors In My Reading Journey

I have given you, a little explanation on why these books and authors are in my reading journey, and like always these are in no particular order.

1. The Harry Potter Series by J.K Rowling: This series got me into reading. I was about 6ish when my mum first started reading this series to me and ever since then I have loved reading.

2. The Vampire Academy Series by Richelle Mead: I never stopped reading really, just didn’t read as much through my primary school years but in my first year of High School I picked up the Vampire Academy books and my love for reading was cemented.

3. Just Listen by Sarah Dessen: I had never read any contemporary before reading Just Listen and after reading it, I really started to move into reading contemporary.

4. John Green and Katie McGarry: The emotions that they captures in their books, the depth of their characters and story line. Has just made me fall in love with those happy yet so heart breaking novels

5. Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games: I was never one for Dystopian but after reading The Hunger Games Trilogy, it’s become one of my favourite genre’s

6. Under The Never Sky by Veronica Rossi: Again another one of those Dystopian books that made me really love the genre

7. Angelfall by Susan Ee: I use to adore any books to do with Angels, but after a while the story line just kept on repeating it’s self then I found Angelfall and wow, made me fall in love with Angel’s once more.

So that is it for this week. yes, yes I know it’s not Ten, but so far in my life these books and authors have helped me on my way with my reading journey. Who and what books have and are on your journey?
