Happy Full Moon

Wanted to drop a line and tell everyone happy full moon!!! Now it's off to bed.

Hello!

Well we just wanted to give you guys a nice heads up on what is going down here at the Crossroads.

If you have been hanging around Facebook and well here.  You would have seen that The Cover Contessa's site was deleted by blogger. Because their automated system decided to say it was spam.

So for the time being Brooke from the Cover Contessa will be posting here with the lovely new banners listed below.  So I thought I would make one as well.

Friday Reads: Updates and More

So this past week you have seen that I tend to read a LOT of books!  This week I finished up some wonderful books that the reviews will be coming out this following week!


I decided to reread Empty by K.M. Watson in a finished copy vs. the ARC.  It was still a very good and sad book.

Through the Ever Night didn't disappoint to much. I think the switching back and forth POV's kinda did me in a little.  But all in all the ending is so GOOD that you will cry that you have to wait another year for the next one.






Level 2 finally is out.  So I thought I would toss my review back into the world so people could see how good this book was.






And of course Warm Bodies!  Who doesn't love zombies?! This review will also have a link when it posts on the 31st.  It will be running a rafflecopter giveaway along with the YA Blog Hop that starts on the 29th.  So you have a chance to win:  ecopy and print copy of the book, and two tickets to see the movie!  How cool is that?!

So make sure you follow and subscribe!

Other things going on this coming week are:

• Moon Mondays
• whats a witch?
• the Young Adult Blog Hop
• Enter to win Warm Bodies!!!

Well this pretty much rounds up the end of Jan.  Come back on Feb 1 for a Special Monthly Update!!!

Pivot Point

Knowing the outcome doesn't always make a choice easier. . . .
Addison Coleman's life is one big "What if?" As a Searcher, whenever Addie is faced with a choice, she can look into the future and see both outcomes. It's the ultimate insurance plan against disaster. Or so she thought. When Addie's parents ambush her with the news of their divorce, she has to pick who she wants to live with—her father, who is leaving the paranormal compound to live among the "Norms," or her mother, who is staying in the life Addie has always known. Addie loves her life just as it is, so her answer should be easy. One Search six weeks into the future proves it's not.

In one potential future, Addie is adjusting to life outside the Compound as the new girl in a Norm high school where she meets Trevor, a cute, sensitive artist who understands her. In the other path, Addie is being pursued by the hottest guy in school—but she never wanted to be a quarterback's girlfriend. When Addie's father is asked to consult on a murder in the Compound, she's unwittingly drawn into a dangerous game that threatens everything she holds dear. With love and loss in both lives, it all comes down to which reality she's willing to live through . . . and who she can't live without.

Well sometimes it's great being a mom and sometimes it sucks. Well this is time it's a catch 22. I love that my baby girl wants to lay on me. But I'm not so happy that she is drooling and well she is making me bake my butt off lol. Not to mention she is a sick little girl.

Dance of Shadows

Vanessa Adler isn't so sure she really belongs at the School of American Ballet. But dance runs in her family. It's been a part of her life for as long as she can remember. Her grandmother and mother were prima ballerinas, and her older sister Margaret was, too. That is, until Margaret mysteriously disappeared from school three years ago. Vanessa is heir to the family's gift and the only person who can fulfill her sister's destiny. She has no choice.But she never could have guessed how dangerous the school is. The infamous choreographer, Josef, isn't just ruthless with his pupils, he guards a sinister secret, one in which the school's dancers-prized for their beauty, grace, and discipline-become pawns in a world of dark, deadly demons.

When I saw the cover I about died.  I love it!  And the begging of the book was amazing!  And thats pretty much where the good things end.  The rest of the book was mediocre at best.
