Hey guys today I’m here to review The 57 Lives of Alex Wayfare by M.G. Buehrlen… For as long as 17-year-old Alex Wayfare can remember, she has had visions of the past. Visions that make her feel like she’s really on a ship bound for America, living in Jamestown during the Starving Time, or riding the original Ferris wheel at the World’s Fair. But these brushes with history pull her from her daily life without warning, sometimes leaving her with strange lasting effects and wounds she can’t explain. Trying to excuse away the aftereffects has booked her more time in the principal’s office than in any of her classes and a permanent place at the bottom of the social hierarchy. Alex is desperate to find out what her visions mean and get rid of them. It isn’t until she meets Porter, a stranger who knows more than should be possible about her, that she learns the truth: Her visions aren’t really visions. Alex is a Descender – capable of traveling back in time ...

Hey guys it’s time for an amazing COVER REVEAL!!! Yes it’s time to reveal the beautiful new cover for M. G. Buehrlen’s book The 57 Lives of Alex Wayfare!   Release date: April 14, 2015 Publisher: Diversion Books For as long as she can remember, 17-year-old Alex Wayfare has had visions of the past.

Alex’s visions wrench her from her life in the present without warning, returning her with mysterious wounds and inexplicable, lasting effects. Desperate for a normal life, Alex wants to discover the meaning of her visions and get rid of them once and for all. It isn’t until she meets Porter, a stranger who seems to know more about her than she knows about herse...

Hey guys it’s Meagan and it’s that time of the year… TOP 10 BOOKS OF 2014!!! YAY *APPLAUSE* I tried to keep these books to books that came out in 2014 (except for one book, but I didn’t hear about it until 2014). And for those who don’t know, I’m revealing these two books at a time. So today I will reveal my 4 and 3 choices, then tomorrow I’ll finally reveal my 2 and 1 choices! So sit back and enjoy! My number 4 pick is  City of Heavenly Fire  by Cassandra Clare It feels like EVERYONE was looking forward to this book, the finale to The Mortal Instruments series. Cassie had her work cut out for her when it came to wrapping this series up but she did not disappoint. She gave us one long; epic ending that had everything we wanted in it. I feel like this book brought the series back to the writing style and the elements of  City of Glass , arguably the second best book in the series, only topped by  Heavenly Fire ! My number 3 pick is  The 57 Lives ...
