Flashback Friday – A New Meme!! Join Us!!

January 10, 2014 by Jaime Leave a Comment

Did you miss our post earlier this week?  We’ll remind you one more time – 


What is Flashback Friday you ask?  

I know… I know… As if you don’t have a million and one memes to follow! BUT we’re hoping that you might want to participate in just one more!  
If you’re like us, you read a lot… you add a ton to your ‘to be read’ lists and you sometimes forget about some amazing things because they get pushed down either your favorites list or that pile of books you need to read.  That doesn’t mean those books are no less amazing!
This is a way for us to highlight books that are older that maybe don’t get as much recognition now because they have been out for a while.  Books that we read and loved or books that have been on our To Be Read lists for ages, but we just haven’t gotten around to them yet.  

On to the details – Pick a book… any book that meets the following criteria:  

1.  Must have been published at least 2 years ago or 
2.  Preferably is still in print or available to read

Grab our button or make your own then simply feature it on your blog… See the example below, and then come back here and link us up!! AND Spread the word!!

AMPLIFIED
By: Tara Kelly
Publication Date: October 13, 2011

I picked this book up on whim last year, it had been on my to read list for a while and I figured it was time. I actually really loved it.  I used to recommend it all the time, especially when I originally read it, but you know how it goes… you read different books and you forget about some that you really enjoyed before.  Anyway, you can read my review here then go read it for yourself and let me know what you think!

When privileged 17-year-old Jasmine gets kicked out of her house, she takes what is left of her savings and flees to Santa Cruz to pursue her dream of becoming a musician. Jasmine finds the ideal room in an oceanfront house, but she needs to convince the three guys living there that she’s the perfect roommate and lead guitarist for their band, C-Side. Too bad she has major stage fright and the cute bassist doesn’t think a spoiled girl from over the hill can hack it. . . 

In this fresh new novel by critically acclaimed author Tara Kelly, Jasmine finds out what happens when her life gets Amplified.

DEARLY, DEPARTED
By: Lia Habel
Publication Date: October 18, 2011

Whenever someone asks me for a book recommendation I include this book.  First, I love the cover and that never hurts.  Second, the plot is original.  The description alone made me want to grab this one up (A cyber-Victorian/Steampunk Romance – with zombies) – throw in some likable characters and I’m on board.  This is part of a series (book 2 is Dearly, Beloved) and based on Lia Habel’s blog, it doesn’t sound like book 3 will be coming out anytime soon but if you don’t have a problem reading books of a series that isn’t finished, it is definitely something you will want to check out.  My review is here.


Dearly, Departed (Gone With the Respiration, #1)

Love can never die. 

Love conquers all, so they say. But can Cupid’s arrow pierce the hearts of the living and the dead—or rather, the undead? Can a proper young Victorian lady find true love in the arms of a dashing zombie? 

The year is 2195. The place is New Victoria—a high-tech nation modeled on the manners, mores, and fashions of an antique era. A teenager in high society, Nora Dearly is far more interested in military history and her country’s political unrest than in tea parties and debutante balls. But after her beloved parents die, Nora is left at the mercy of her domineering aunt, a social-climbing spendthrift who has squandered the family fortune and now plans to marry her niece off for money. For Nora, no fate could be more horrible—until she’s nearly kidnapped by an army of walking corpses. 

But fate is just getting started with Nora. Catapulted from her world of drawing-room civility, she’s suddenly gunning down ravenous zombies alongside mysterious black-clad commandos and confronting “The Laz,” a fatal virus that raises the dead—and hell along with them. Hardly ideal circumstances. Then Nora meets Bram Griswold, a young soldier who is brave, handsome, noble . . . and dead. But as is the case with the rest of his special undead unit, luck and modern science have enabled Bram to hold on to his mind, his manners, and his body parts. And when his bond of trust with Nora turns to tenderness, there’s no turning back. Eventually, they know, the disease will win, separating the star-crossed lovers forever. But until then, beating or not, their hearts will have what they desire.

In Dearly, Departed, romance meets walking-dead thriller, spawning a madly imaginative novel of rip-roaring adventure, spine-tingling suspense, and macabre comedy that forever redefines the concept of undying love

About Lia
Lia HabelI’m an author, and consequently spend the majority of my days locked up in my own head. When I’m actually actively participating in the groundbreaking experiment in groupthink known as “reality,” you’ll find me designing and sewing costumes, trying to teach myself to play roller derby (I do not tackle pedestrians, contrary to popular belief), planning trips, and watching zombie movies.
