HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEXI SWOONS!!!!!! ~ Giveaway#1: Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi



Hi Swooners!!

So today is the big day! Lexi Swoons officially turns one!! It's been such an eventful year and i've been so blessed to have gained so many book lover/blogger type friends, even a few crazy followers like you that actually enjoy reading my posts. From the bottom of my heart...THANK YOU!!!

I was fortunate enough that my very good friend (and sorority sister) Jenn from Books and Swoons started her blog a year before me. With that, I was able to see her struggles and joys that came along with being a blogger. I've always been a reader, but she introduced me to the book signing community and blogging community She's the reason that I have this new found passion for blogging and meeting authors. So yea, I pretty much owe my "obsession" to her. So thank you, Jenn, for bringing me into your crazy world of blogging and for not laughing at me when I told you that I wanted to start a blog too. And thank YOU, dear readers, for never giving up on Lexi Swoons, even when the beginning days were slow and boring. You are the reason I keep doing what I do!

So with that said, let's get this celebration started! I'll keep it simple and just stick to the basics...how about a few giveaways?? That's right! Stop by every four hours (8AM, 12PM, 4PM, and 8PM) to enter the giveaways for some sweet signed books. You ready? Okay. Here we go...

FEATURE: Waiting on Wednesday~ Amity by Micol Ostow (#36)


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Morning Swooners :-)

This week my "can't-wait-to-read" pre-publication selections are:

Expected release date: August 26, 2014
Purchase: Amazon / Barnes and Noble



Summary from Goodreads:

For fans of Stephen King and American Horror Story, a gruesome thriller suggested by the events of the Amityville Horror.

Connor’s family moves to Amity to escape shady business deals. Ten years later, Gwen’s family moves to Amity for a fresh starts after she’s recovered from a psychotic break.

But something is not right about this secluded house. Connor’s nights are plagued with gore-filled dreams of demons and destruction. Dreams he kind of likes. Gwen has lurid visions of corpses that’s aren’t there and bleeding blisters that disappear in the blink of an eye. She knows Amity is evil and she must get her family out, but who would ever believe her?

Amity isn’t just a house. She is a living force, bent on manipulating her inhabitants to her twisted will. She will use Connor and Gwen to bring about a bloody end as she's done before. As shell do again.


Alternating between parallel narratives, Amity is a tense and terrifying tale suggested by true-crime events that will satisfy even the most demanding horror fan.

Why I'm waiting:

I love a good horror book and what better story to read than a semi-retelling of The Amityville Horror. That story can always bring a chill to me just thinking about it...i'm sure this will too!
