You Owe Me a Murder Blog Tour! Review and Q&A with Eileen Cook

Title: You Owe Me a Murder Author: Eileen Cook Release Date: March 5, 2019 Publisher: HMH Books for Young Readers Pages: 368 Source: ARC provided by Raincoast Books Add to Goodreads | Amazon.ca | Indigo Overall: 4 STARS SUMMARY   Seventeen-year-old Kim gets more than she bargained for when she is set up for murder. Perfect for fans of One of Us is Lying , E. Lockhart, and Gillian Flynn. 17-year-old Kim never expected to plot a murder. But that was before her boyfriend dumped her for another girl. Now, Kim’s stuck on a class trip to London with him and his new soulmate and she can’t help wishing he was a little bit dead, even if she’d never really do that.  But when Kim meets Nicki, a stranger on the plane who’s more than willing to listen to Kim’s woes, things start to look up. Nicki's got a great sense of humor, and when she jokes about swapping murders, Kim plays along—that is, until Kim’s ex-boyfriend mysteriously dies. Blackmailed by Nicki to fulfill her end of the deal,...

Follow Friday (9)

Feature & Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee and Allison Can Read. Check it out to sign up and participate, or to discover some awesome blogs and make new friends.

This week's question:
Have you had a character that disappointed you? One that you fell in love with and then "broke up" with later on in either the series or a stand-alone book? Tell us about him or her.

Hmmm. I'm not sure this has ever really happened to me. My love for a character usually carries through until the end. Generally, once I like a character I am pretty loyal to him or her even if they do some annoying things later on.

I've had it happen the other way several times - a character that I originally found annoying or frustrating, or that I just plain hated, ended up winning me over at some point in the story and I find myself wondering exactly what point it was when I started caring what happened to that character. An example of that might be Jaime Lannister from the A Song of Ice and Fire series. Some of you who watch the show are giving me the crazy eyes right now; I know it. But at some point in the books he becomes a more sympathetic character, though I couldn't say exactly when that is. And if I could, I wouldn't. Spoilers, and all that.

Welcome to all of the new faces, and welcome back to the old ones!

Review: Uncommon Criminals by Ally Carter

Title: Uncommon Criminals Author: Ally Carter Publisher: Disney Hyperion Publication Date: June 21, 2011 Series: Heist Society #2 Links: Amazon | Goodreads Source: Purchased Katarina Bishop has worn a lot of labels in her short life life. Friend. Niece. Daughter. Thief. But for the last two months she’s simply been known as the girl who ran the crew that robbed the greatest museum in the world. That’s why Kat isn’t surprised when she’s asked to steal the infamous Cleopatra Emerald so it can be returned to its rightful owners. There are only three problems. First, the gem hasn’t been seen in public in thirty years. Second, since the fall of the Egyptian empire and the suicide of Cleopatra, no one who holds the emerald keeps it for long, and in Kat’s world, history almost always repeats itself. But it’s the third problem that makes Kat’s crew the most nervous and that is simply… the emerald is cursed. Kat might be in way over her head, but she’s not going down without a fight. Af...

Waiting on Wednesday: The Raincoast Books TeensRead Winter/Spring 2016 Preview Edition

Last Saturday, I was invited to attend the Raincoast Books TeensRead Preview of their upcoming Winter and Spring 2016 titles at the Toronto Reference Library. Hosted by Vanessa of Ampersand Inc. and Jenn from Lost in a Great Book in Toronto, it was my first time taking part in the preview! I've missed out participating online the past couple of years, so I was really glad I could finally join in the excitement! We watched a live stream of the event from the Vancouver Public Library, and for those bloggers who couldn't make it either location, they were invited to watch via Google Hangout. Raincoast Books also very generously provided each of us a tote bag filled with two ARCS, buttons and posters! The Raincoast Books team introduced over 30 highly anticipated YA titles to us, and here are my top picks to add to your TBR! Title: Truthwitch (The Witchlands #1) Author: Susan Dennard Release Date: January 5, 2016 Publisher: Tor Teen Add to Goodreads   On a continent ruled by ...
