#daemoninvasion MUSIC MONDAY # 1 - WAX LYRICAL - GIVEAWAY - BOOK CHOICE - OBSIDIAN by JENNIFER L. ARMENTROUT - WHAT SONG DO YOU THINK DESCRIBES A CHARACTER OR THE BOOK? GIVEAWAY!!

MUSIC  MONDAY  WAX  LYRICAL
#1 OBSIDIAN GIVEAWAY

For quite a while now I have been having fun with music in my interviews with authors. Here are some of them :


Aussie Tour Interview with Becca Fitzpatrick

Die For Me by Amy Plum - Character Interview with Jules

Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver

Interview with Kelley York - Hushed

Winter's Light by M.J. Hearle

Musical Interview with Julie Kagawa

Interview with Jus Accardo

Character Interview - Potter from Kiera Hudson series by Tim O'Rourke

Lyrics mean a lot to me. Asking authors musical questions has proven very popular in my interviews with authors/characters. It can infact stump some authors. Julie Kagawa was stumped and we had a competition to unstump her. That was fun!

Cranky shirtless Daemon - scene

I have been tossing about ideas and talking about having a feature on the blog, and I thought to make it easy I would  choose the book and let the readers decide what aspect/relationship they think a song choice best describes it. I am so grateful to the lovely youtubers who make the lyric videos. I get very excited when I find a vid that has lyrics for my interviews.  I love finding out what an author would choose.


Choose a song you think best represents OBSIDIAN in whatever way you think. See some of my interviews and you will get the gist of what I have done when asking authors. I choose single characters, what music would describe them, or the two main characters, the book as a whole, just have fun with it.


I will be holding giveaways most weeks, some bigger than others, it depends what I have here. Could be a book, swag, signed item........

Entry Requirements:

It will be International , unless otherwise stated.
Just use the easy Rafflecopter to enter.
I ask for your musical entry within it.
Only one song entry please per entrant. 

For your entry to be valid you must leave a song and don't forget email address in comments please so I can contact winner.

No multiple or electronic entries please.
PLEASE leave your email address in comments to contact winner.

I will put some of the vids up on the posting and you have until the end of the week = Sunday midnight USA time to enter. 

As I am on the #daemoninvasion street team, #TeamKittyKat , I thought my first Wax Lyrical would be Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout. I am in Daemon mode. 








First Wax Lyrical Giveaway will be via Book Depository. Check they post to your country before entering please.

1 x Obsidian Paperback - Prize

a Rafflecopter giveaway

I love having the music on my postings and sometimes I just listen to my author interview song choices, they have chosen. Great way of getting more in touch with the book and also for those who haven't read the book, it gives them a vibe of what the book is about, or the character.


Either way , music and lyrics are just my way of  'feeling' a book or getting to know a character. Also I can sing along at the top of my lungs...no I can't sing...but who cares:)

GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN!


This is my song choice:
Invaders Must Die by The Prodigy
The Good guys are killing the baddies and the baddies want to kill the good guys.

This has been a very covert, hush operation , but now I am able to spread the news, my latest information I have been given:


Over the last couple of weeks, you’ve heard us talking about the upcoming #daemoninvasion and we’re so excited to finally share with you what is going on.

Really excited.

The beautiful and uber cool models, Pepe Toth and Sztella Tziotziosz, who grace the Lux covers, will be joining us in the United States! You heard right. They are flying here, from Hungary to spend a few days as Daemon and Katy! While they are here, they will be working with Vania, from VLC Productions (the team behind Cassandra Clare’s The Mortal Instruments, Melissa de La Cruz, Kimberly Derting, Moira Young, Kami Garcia and Margret Stohl, Hillary Duff, Lauren Destefano, and many, many more authors’ book trailers), to film book trailers for the Lux Series.

During the filming in Atlanta, they will be accompanying us on tour! What does that mean? You get to meet them. In the flesh. They will be participating in the signings and events. At those signings, we’ll be giving away signed posters, photos, and other swag. There will also be meet and greet events you can join in on.

At each signing, there will be advanced copies of Onyx given away!

And to top things off (as if this isn’t enough, but we don’t do anything small), there’s something very, very exciting in the works! It involves advanced copies of Opal, water, and a little destination known as the Bahamas.

I am not kidding.
This will be epic.

Aare you excited? I am! This tour is going to be so, so much fun, and I’m so thrilled that Pepe and Sztella are a part of it. We owe them a huge thank you and a giant welcome making the 16 hour flight to meet the readers of the Lux Series.  You!

BOOK COVERS - OBSIDIAN AND SHADOWS by JENNIFER L. ARMENTROUT - LUX NOVELS

If you have read any of my reviews of books by author Jennifer L. Armentrout , well you know I love her stories. I have such fun reading her books. They are a wonderful escape.

Anyhoo, Shadows a Lux Novella is being released 21st February 2012 Daemon's brother Dawson got a look in and he has a story to tell us.

Obsidian got a cover makeover so I thought I would show you the two covers together . I can't wait for Onyx.





Aren't they gorgeous!! Jennifer is really making a name for herself. If you haven't read any of her books, well high time you did. I HIGHLY recommend her stories. Check out my reviews in the left side bar under her name. I give no spoilers. I like everybody to find out for themselves , especially the beautiful guys she writes so well in her books. No wham bam insta love here!

Half-Blood and Pure ( Covenant Series) I absolutely adore Aiden St. Delphi, stunning guy character and Alex is an awesome female lead.

Obsidian, well all I will say is , an Alien ( Daemon)  has NEVER EVER been hotter . Who knew I would love a YA book with an Alien male lead? Jennifer has so much wit and fun with her characters at the same time delivering us action and wonderful stories. Onyx book 3, can't come soon enough. Yes, Shadows is not a half book it's classified as # 2.

Oh and we have many more books to come from Jennifer, she has written 13! The lady is on fire! In my opinion, if it's got Jennifer's name on the front, you are pretty much guaranteed an awesome read.

Oh yes and notice the words Bestselling Author...very impressive Jennifer:D

BOOK REVIEW - OBSIDIAN by JENNIFER L. ARMENTROUT - LUX # 1

By: Jennifer L. Armentrout
Published By: Entangled Publishing
Released : 6th December 2011
Details : E-Arc, 275 Pages

RATING: 5 DELICIOUS DAEMON STARS!!!

Book Blurb : Taken From Goodreads

Starting over sucks.

When we moved to West Virginia right before my senior year, I’d pretty much resigned myself to thick accents, dodgy internet access, and a whole lot of boring…. until I spotted my hot neighbor, with his looming height and eerie green eyes. Things were looking up.

And then he opened his mouth.

Daemon is infuriating. Arrogant. Stab-worthy. We do not get along. At all. But when a stranger attacks me and Daemon literally freezes time with a wave of his hand, well, something…unexpected happens.

BOOK REVIEW:



Jennifer has written another YA GOLD book. This is a really ‘cool’ book and a refreshing type of character. ‘Obsidian’ is just , awesome! The Covenant series and this one, the Lux series are so different. I absolutely thought Jennifer couldn’t have gotten any smexier with Aiden St. Delphi...*sigh* , but ,Daemon Black *double sigh* and how gorgeous is he on the cover? oh.....and does he bring the smexi goods!!



I LOVED !!! LOVED!! LOVED! Obsidian.



I LOVED!!! Daemon. He is the type of character as you read you really ‘feel’ how he is at war with himself over the decisions he makes. His sister Dee is his world. She comes first and foremost, nothing can jeopardise her safety, their safety.



Enter Katy, book blogger , very relatable character who has her own blog called, ‘Katy’s Krazy Obsession’. She has moved with her mother and is now, their neighbour.



Dee and Katy hit it off, and Daemon is a bit of a cranky pants over his sister’s new friend. He is such a smart mouth. What I loved about Katy’s character is she gave as good as she got and she is a brave and at times, stubborn character.



Jennifer really writes boys very, very well and the TENSION!!! It sizzles. What I love about Jennifer’s main characters and their relationships, she doesn’t make it easy for them, there is a valid reason for it being a hard to allow love.



In my own words, “clear your schedule, Jennifer writes a page turner....” Yes , she most certainly does. I think there is an art to keeping YA and Adults engrossed in the same book. Jennifer does this very well. I literally did not want this book to end...but it did.



Now I wait and enter giveaways to get a read of Lux # 2 and while I am at it Deity and Apollyon , books 3 and 4 in Covenant series, because, I have so much fun reading Jennifer’s books. They are a wonderful escapism.



I shall say it again, I HIGHLY recommend this new series of Jennifer’s. If you liked Half-Blood, you are going to LOVE Obsidian. Now I can’t wait for ‘Cursed’. If the books I have read already are any indication, I am going to LOVE ‘Cursed’.



I think I am rather addicted to Jennifer’s writing. This book is going to grow a set of legs and walk off the shelves when released.



FAVE QUOTES:


“Hottie? Mom , that’s just weird.”

Mom pushed off from the counter , picked up her plate from the table and headed to the sink. “Honey, I might be old, but my eyes are still working fine. And they were really working earlier.”

( I hear ya sister! )



......”You’re a dickhead.”

“A dickhead?” he repeated. “How charming.”

I flipped him off.

He laughed again and bent his head. A mess of waves fell forward, nearly obscuring his intense green eyes. “Very civilised, Kitten. I’m sure you have a wild array of interesting names and gestures for me, but not interested.”



.... I’d always avoided confrontation in the past, but this guy was flipping my bitch switch like nothing else.



“Stalking me again, I see. Do I need to get a restraining order?”

“In your dreams, Kitten.” He smirked. “Oh wait, I’m already starring in those, aren’t I ?”

I rolled my eyes. “Nightmares, Daemon. Nightmares.”
