Pretty Covers!

So Silver Bright by Lisa Mantchev
I loved the past two covers and book three is no different. The curtains or gorgeous as are the dress. I also love the fairies that are in it, like the past two books. I am so excited to read this book.Supernaturally by Kiersten White
This cover is gorgeous. It looks similar to how Paranormalcy looked, except a bit more creepy. The dress is gorgeous and I am the only one questioning if those flowers are dead.

Ekk, I can't wait for these two books. Now I am going back to collapsing.

Perchance to Dream by Lisa Mantchev

Rating:
Characters: 18/20
Plot: 18/20
Originality: 19/20
Writing: 18/20
Recommendation: 18/20
Overall: 91/100 or A
Source: Publisher
When Nate is kidnapped and taken prisoner by the Sea Goddess, only Bertie can free him. She and her fairy sidekicks embark on a journey aboard the Thèâtre’s caravan, using Bertie’s word magic to guide them. Along the way, they collect a sneak-thief, who has in his possession something most valuable, and meet The Mysterious Stranger, Bertie’s father—and the creator of the scrimshaw medallion. Bertie’s dreams are haunted by Nate, whose love for Bertie is keeping him alive, but in the daytime, it’s Ariel who is tantalizingly close, and the one she is falling for. Who does Bertie love the most? And will her magic be powerful enough to save her once she enters the Sea Goddess’s lair?
Lisa Manchev creates another amazing book. Perchance to Dream is stronger then Eyes likes Stars, because you get to see the characters again as they go on an epic adventure. Bertie may be in a love triangle, but she is still full of humor and her spunky attitude. Nate is still sweet, while Ariel is mysterious dreamy. Sedna gains more depth. The plot of Perchance to Dream is spirited and fun. It is also fast paced and engrossing. Perchance to Dream is so original that I can't wait for the next book. Mantchev is an astounding writer. Her wordplay is so much fun and the descriptions are glorious. I would recommend this book to fans of Eyes Like Stars and anyone that is looking for a fun series.

Quick Question...

I have a kidney infection and I was wondering if anyone had any advice on diet or lowering the pain. I can't have the usual medicine, because it counter acts one of mine. Please do not mention Cranberry Juice, because I have drank two containers of it. Anyone that has any advice, I will be so thankful.
Anyways, I am going to try to get the Lisa Mantchev event posted later today. It depends on how I feel and such. Also any bloggers/authors in the Seattle area, leave a comment. I am planning something sekrit.
Thanks for your time and sorry for this mini-rant.
Peace Out, Sarah.

Wow... a contest

So, I am just giving you all a heads up on a contest that is starting tommorrow. Lisa Mantchev organized a huge scavenger hunt to giveaway some ARCs of Eyes like Stars. So make sure to check this out.
The Rules:

1) Contest limited to those in the USA. Apologies to our friends abroad, but these ARCs are being mailed out by the generous souls on the blogroll, and there will be other contests which will be eligible to readers overseas.

2) All entrants must be the age of 13 or older. Entrants 12 and under (if any) can be entered by their parents.

3) No family members of anyone connected with the Scavenger Hunt, please.

How To Play:

1) Players should start at Lisa's Blog (lisamantchev.livejournal.com) to get the Official Blogroll and List of Clues

2) Players then need to visit the blogs, collect the quotes, AND leave a comment (like a trail of bread crumbs... we want to know you actually did the leg work!)

3) E-mail Lisa with your list of quotes: lisa@lisamantchev.com

4) Prizes will awarded thusly: to those who collect the most quotes. Should more people remit the complete quote list than we have ARCs to give away, Lisa shall award the prizes by lottery/random drawing. She shall also retain the right to add extra ARCs to the prize pool at her discretion.
