Rising Calm Book Tour AND Giveaway AND Review!

I feel like such a procrastinator.

The Book File's very first blog tour is tomorrow, and I haven't posted anything. At all.

Oooo-kay. So all day tomorrow , we're hosting a blog tour, on the book Rising Calm, by Haley Fisher. It's about a girl, named Cara, and her very *coughhotcough* mysterious friends, with certain habits and peculiarities. Read more to find out about the review, guest post, book giveaway, and interview--

Goodreads Choice!

Hey everyone!

This past month, Goodreads has been doing their annual 'Goodreads Choice Awards'. These awards are the best books in certain categories, and they receive instant fame and bragging rights!!

That sounds like a pretty good reason to start finding a publishing company that will publish my stories...

Anyway...

Veronica Roth has a lot to brag about: not only did her hit sequel to Divergent (respectively titled Insurgent) win her 'Best by a Goodreads author' (meaning that the author has a profile on Goodreads: Cassandra Clare was also up for grabs on that one), but also the 'Best Young Adult Fantasy' award! Good job Veronica!

While we're still in the YA genre, The Fault In Our Stars, by John Green, won 'Best Young Adult Fiction'! Awesome! I am yet to read this...I hear from Eliz--my sources that it may make me cry. Darn.

Also, Rick Rioridan won the 'Best Middle Grade and Children's'! His newest book, The Mark of Athena, won that for him.

And, to make myself feel warm, fuzzy, and gory, all at the same time: 'Best Graphic Novel or Comic' was won by The Walking Dead, Vol. something-or-other. Good job, Daryl and Rick. You make me feel happy to be catching up on season 1.


Hopefully I'll finish season 1 by the time the world will (not) end.

Wattpad. And stuff.

More like 'schmuff'...I'm on Wattpad, which is fantastically amazing, and one of my friends (Schmuff_Luff) had a status saying this:

"All I wanna do is lay in bed, eat food and watch A Hard Day's Night. T_T"

She's a HUGE Beatles fan, and writes Beatles fanfiction, and in one story, I am a character...:3 (If you read 'All My Loving, Lucy, I am Charlotte, the quiet, tree-drawing girl sitting by herself at a party.)

Anyway, the photo below is what I replied back, and I think it's appropriate.

I'm almost done with The Evolution of Mara Dyer! So excited to post a review, it is such a phenomenal book. I think I'm taking so long because I don't want it to end...

Thank you, Anderson's...

...for allowing Mr. Eoin Colfer to sign books at your bookstore!

Mr. Colfer, if you're reading this right now, I just want to say that I LOVE your writing, and will definitely look forward to your upcoming steampunk-ish novel, about the FBI, wormholes, and London! Last night was a blast, and thanks for choosing to write.

Readers: Comment if you came out to Anderson's last night...I may or may not have seen you!

ARTEMIS FOWL HAS BEEN READ!!

Yes! I finally finished AF: The Last Guardian, surprisingly later than I thought I would. Normally, I could finish that book in easily a day or two, but it's been since...Saturday? Sunday? I lost track. Anyway, here's my review!

Title: Artemis Fowl: The Last Guardian (Artemis Fowl #8)
Author: Eoin Colfer
Publisher: Disney~Hyperion
Pub year: 2012
Genre: Fantasy

Rating: 4.9/5

Opal Koboi is at it again, creating an evil plan to get revenge on humankind. Haven City is rubble, electronics of all kind are destroyed, and just when the LEP are about to lose hope, their favorite rival, his feared bodyguard, and LEP on-again-off-again agent jump in to—hopefully—defeat Opal and save Haven. But to help, they'll need techie centaur Foaly, the flatulent, snippy dwarf Mulch Diggums, and two other mischievous little boys–Myles and Beckett Fowl. Read the last journey of Artemis Fowl and his comrades, and I'm sure you'll like it!

So...that was–I think– my first blurb that I've written so far...it pretty much sums up the book without giving too much away, right? Well, you wouldn't know unless you read the book, correct?
I rated the book 4.9 for personal reasons–because it's the last book in the AF series. :„(
The book is a pricey $18.99 in the U.S., and $20.99 in Canada! Don't worry, though, as after this book is done, you'll be so happy you got it!

Looking forward to Friday,
Cam

Become Immortal or Die Trying

Title: The Goddess Test (The Goddess Test Trilogy #1)
Author: Aimée Carter
Publisher: Harlequin Teen
Pub Year: 2011
Genre: YA Fantasy/Fiction
Price: $9.99 U.S./$11.99 CANADA


Rating: On a scale of 1-10, this would be an 11!


The Goddess Test, which is author Aimée Carter's debut novel, is "A fresh take on...Greek myths," says Cassandra Clare, the author of The Mortal Instruments. The story revolves around a high school senior named Kate Winters, who has a mother with cancer--predicted to live for only a few more days. She moves to Eden, Michigan, and meets Henry--a mysterious man that owns a large mansion in the small town. Henry says he can help Kate, as long as she agrees to help him.
Read the book to learn more about Kate and Henry's bargain, why they made it in the first place, and what lies ahead for this heroine.

Hope you like it!
