Waiting Wednesday


Waiting Wednesday 

So this is my first Waiting on Wednesday post, I actually shorten it for the stake of my linky. I been under a rock or rug or whatever cats like to hide in because clearly I haven't full-filled my blogger resolutions so I'm starting it now! 

I requested Jen's books for Christmas because honestly it looks good and I've had my eyes on her Naturals series foe awhile. Well I read both The Naturals (book one) and Killer Instinct (book two) within a week!  Aaaannnnd I'm disappointed once again that her next book All In (book three) isn't coming out until November :-( 

Cruel . . . Cruel . . . Cruel


 
All In (The Naturals, #3)

Three casinos. Three bodies. Three days.

After a string of brutal murders in Las Vegas, Cassie Hobbes and the Naturals are called in to investigate. But even with the team's unique profiling talents, these murders seem baffling: unlike many serial killers, this one uses different methods every time. All of the victims were killed in public, yet the killer does not show up on any tape. And each victim has a string of numbers tattooed on their wrist. Hidden in the numbers is a code—and the closer the Naturals come to unraveling the mystery, the more perilous the case becomes.

Meanwhile, Cassie is dealing with an equally dangerous and much more painful mystery. For the first time in years, there's been a break in her mother's case. As personal issues and tensions between the team mount, Cassie and the Naturals will be faced with impossible odds—and impossible choices.
 

Hardcover, 320 pages 
Expected publication: November 3rd 2015 by Disney-Hyperion 
 
 Now I actually believe that Jen's series The Naturals could go forever! There's no cliff hangers (as far I know), there's no really timeline like most authors have for their books that will leads to the epic ending. She could write exciting cases, tough cases, hard to break cases and even cold cases. 

I love her characters that she created for this series and I'm really excited to see what she has in stores for each of them. But I might not be sold on if she would to change POVs because she built it with Cassie as the main protagonist, we will see what happens.

Catty Chat: How much $$$$$


Okay so we probably spends hundreds of dollars on books right? Either within a year or within 6 months. But have you ever wonder how much it would truly cost to get every single book you want and how much stoarage you would need?

Kara from Great Imaginations started this so I'm blaming her on the spot then Pixie also from Great Imagination formerly The Bookaholi also pitch in.

So okay now to you the followers, the readers, the bloggers . . .

HOW MUCH $$$$$ 

Would it cost you to buy every single books you want in the world? 

How Much Space would you need? 

How would you get that to happen? 

Here's my answer . . . 

If you tally up all the hardcovers whihc would roughly be 17.99- 26.95(Yes you have to consider the foreign books costs) I would mulptily that by ooh 200,000 books now by my calculation its 5,390,000 Million Now that is just imaginary. 

Now paperbacks which will range between 7.99-18.99 depending on how's it formatted and who makes the print set. I would estimates that I would need at least 800,000 books. 
Calculation equals 15,193,000 million again imaginary. 

A total of 20, 583, 000 million . . .

Now I'm not sure if this is accurate or not, $106.29 Million is the average jackpot amount

Now I have 1 Million books . . . NOW WHERE DO I PUT ONE MILLION BOOKS?

If I had a house where the hallways were all bookshelves that might works, but you have to imagine every square inch of the hallways in the house would be filled with books.

Modern Home Theater by Calgary General Contractors Home Completions

If a room was the size of an apartment, you know like a royal castle . . . Every square inch of the walls in that room alone.

Or you seen those retractable shelves right? Now you just need deep walls

These would be amazing. Floor would be nice and open, the books are still easily accessible but cleaner, and they could all be great facades for posters/kid's art.
 
Or you could save your house from all the maddness and actually buy a store only disclose to yourself . . .

The American Book Center, Amsterdam, the Netherlands   
Obviously this has a lot of space and I would CATIFICATION it's up and let Cats roam freely in that store, it would be their home and they'll watch over my books. I don't even know how much it would cost to buy a building that large but I might save myself on buy property and building it.


This is actually Dewy the library Cat! I have a few books on him. He makes such a great inspiration


Well I hope you really enjoy this post because I had a lot of fun writing it! And Imagining it!

Hide & Seek: Broken Blood


HIDE & SEEK . . . What's peeking around the corner?

. . .

. . .



. . .




How do you defeat an enemy that knows your every thought … even as you think it?



I thought watching my Werewolf boyfriend get arrested for murder was the worst experience of my life. But then I was knocked out and dragged off to a cell of my own by the very people who were supposed to protect me from danger.

I thought being held prisoner in solitary confinement for weeks on end was the worst experience of my life. But then a visitor came, and I realized I’d been wrong all along. There are worse things than torture and death. Much worse.

He wants my blood. More than that, he wants to get into my head. To use my bond to control his army, to wipe the world clean of anything with dirty blood. I can’t let that happen, but if I don’t he’ll kill every single person I’ve ever cared about—beginning with my Werewolf pack.

The prophecy said I would have to make an impossible choice, but I must be doing this wrong—so far every choice I’ve made has only led to more pain and danger and death. Hunters are pitted against Werewolves and I’m alone in my war against Gordon Steppe. I can’t fight him off anymore; all I can do is try to keep him out of the important places. And I’m failing at even that.

I thought the demons were out there, clearly marked and clinging to the shadows. But they’re not. The monsters are within the ranks of those sworn to protect. The enemy is among us.

Broken Blood, book 5 in the Dirty Blood series is coming March 11!

COLD BLOOD (Dirty Blood #2)

Sometimes Family Can be the Death of You

Wood Point Academy is not at all what I expected.
For one thing, it looks like a cross between military school and Buckingham Palace. Everyone stares, the floors shine so bright you can see your reflection in them from a mile away, and no one smiles.

At least I’ve got plenty to take my mind off the fact that my psycho cousin, Miles De’Luca, keeps calling and declaring his love and promising to come for me just as soon as he’s destroyed anyone standing in our way. Wes isn’t going to like that idea. So between Miles, Wood Point’s evil welcoming committee, and the drill sergeant hottie trainer from hell, I just keep asking myself, how did I end up here?
