The other night Becca Fitzpatrick joined some of her fans over at Fallenarchangel.com for a chat.  Shannon and I were there.  We learned some fun things about Becca.  One of those things are some of her favorite books.  We have a list of a few for you.  So if you are looking for some extra summer reads, check these out!

Happy Reading!

Kim and I are starting a new weekly post on books that we are currently reading besides our book of the month, not all will be withing the YA genre so take heed.

I downloaded this to my Kindle the other day and haven’t actually started it yet, but I am today.  It was made into a movie that I need to go see and I absolutely need to read the book before I see the movie, that way I can gripe about how the movie was so different than the book.

Here is the trailer for the movie staring Alex Pettyfer and Vanessa Hudgens.

I will give you a review of the book next week.

I recently “read” (listened to) the book Wake by Lisa McMann.

This is the book trailer:

I will also have a review for the podcast.

Yay one of our favorite authors, Bree Despain, announced today that there will be a THIRD book in The Dark Divine series. We are so very excited!  PLUS we’ll be getting a whole new story out of her too. Extra YAY!

Straight from Bree’s Blog:

It’s officially official: THE DARK DIVINE is officially going to have a THIRD BOOK!!!!

Yep, TDD is going to be a Trilogy!!!

Like I said, I’ve been holed up in my revisions cave, completely oblivious to the outside world, so when my agent called to tell me that Egmont wanted to buy 2 more books from me (yes, I said 2–more on that in a minute) I was kind of shocked–but elated. I am so happy that Grace and Daniel’s story gets a third installment!! And believe me, some of you would not be happy with me if their adventures ended in THE LOST SAINT.

Also, not only did Egmont buy and Third TDD book, they bought a fourth book from me. However, this fourth book is “unspecified” at the moment. As in, it’s NOT a fourth installment of TDD. But I do have plenty of ideas for what that unspecified book will be about–and I can’t wait to dive into it.

The third TDD book will most likely come out a year after TLS (so in December 2011) and the all new book will probably debut a year after that (December 2012) but only time will tell for sure.

I mentioned in our last regular podcast about how I’m not really sure about my Kindle reader.  I like the convenience factor of it and that books are cheaper for it, also there are many free book choices.  I am not sure that I enjoy it as much as diving into an actual book.    I know you all saying you can dive into the kindle too, Shannon.  Don’t you feel like there is something missing? The thrill of opening a book, the smell of walking into a  bookstore and sitting and getting absorbed in the story, turning the pages and wonder what comes next.  So Kindle and non Kindle users, tell me your opinions, let me have it, I can take it.  What do you like about the Kindle and how can I enjoy it more.

According to wikipedia it’s national turn off TV week.

Quoted from Wikipedia

TV Turnoff Week was launched by Adbusters magazine and other organizations in 1994 and championed by TV-Free America, which is now called Center for SCREEN-TIME Awareness (CSTA). CSTA is an organization that encourages all people to use electronic screened media responsibly and then have more time for a healthier life and more community participation. It is a grassroots alliance of many different organisations.

What does that mean for us? Grab a book, kindle, ipod or audiobook device and READ!!!
Try out our book of the month, Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater.

Have fun this week!
