There too many of them.“
Waiting on Wednesday
May 2nd, 2012Waiting on Wednesday is a Weekly MEME Hosted By: Jill at Breaking The Spine. Each week, Book-Bloggers spotlight what upcoming release they’re eager for.
Sixteen-year-old Tess lives in a compound in what was once the Western United States, now decimated after a devastating fourth World War. But long before that, life as we knew it had been irrevocably changed, as women mysteriously lost the ability to bring forth life. Faced with the extinction of the human race, the government began the Council of Creators, meant to search out alternative methods of creating life. The resulting artificial human beings, or Chosen Ones, were extraordinarily beautiful, unbelievably strong, and unabashedly deadly. Life is bleak, but uncomplicated for Tess as she follows the rigid rules of her dystopian society, until the day she begins work at Templeton, the training facility for newly created Chosen Ones. There, she meets James, a Chosen One whose odd love of music and reading rivals only her own. The attraction between the two is immediate in its intensity and overwhelming in its danger. But there is more to the goings-on at Templeton than Tess ever knew, and as the veil is lifted from her eyes, she uncovers a dark underground movement bent not on taking down the Chosen Ones, but the Council itself. Will Tess be able to stand up to those who would oppress her, even if it means giving up the only happiness in her life?
I’m a HUGE fan of Dystopian Societies and Chosen Ones sounds so GOOD. The synopsis is very rich and the cover just captured its vibe. Also I loved the distinguished touch of Entangled Publishing Books.
May / Eye Candy
May 1st, 2012A group of three books cover images that I like the most from the titles to be released in the current month. Usually I already pre-ordered the titles or own them. I named the section like I did because I like thinking about these covers like they are something that its meant to look.
*Eye Candy: visual images that are pleasant to see.
Announcements
April 30th, 2012Windowpane Memoirs is not longer on Hiatus. I’m very HAPPY to be back working on my little WebSite I LOVE so much and sharing the love for books. In celebration of this I will give away a set of ARCs, the winners will be chosen by the ones who commented on May posts. Wish you all GOOD LUCK!
Through The Storm
March 1st, 2012My Lovely Bliomaniacs: I hope YOU are all OK at the moment you read this Website Update. I just want to let you know that Windowpane Memoirs will be on Hiatus until May 1. The reason of the lack of updates on the site is that don’t feel in the spirit to be online and work all the promotion that each title entry deserves. I always feel that if I will not give my 100% it’s better taking some time off. Recently, my family and I have been through a lot; we lost someone and another family member if fighting the same illness. All this plus the fact that I haven’t been able to see my family in more than two years is affecting my deeply. That was the reason I decided like a month ago to take a Hiatus Online from the site and all the social media related to the web, so I could take time to focus on what it’s important that is praying, spending time with My Love + babies and focus my energy on what’s God plan for me trough this storm. Because it doesn’t matter how sad some situations can be, I totally believe that God uses every experience for a GREATER purpose and to show us how amazing His mercy, love and grace are. Thankfully I’m going HOME next week (Yes!!!), also I’ve been reading a LOT; I’m just 32 books away from my 2012 Reading Challenge which is pretty good considering that It’s not the midyear yet. That’s everything for now … “see you” all soon and Happy Reading!!!
The Space Between
February 4th, 2012A Recap of all the Web-Site Weekly Activity. I named the section like I did because as a passionate reader I like to use representation titles or words that I see in my favorite books.
*The Space Between: weekly posts recap.
I started the month of LOVE in the middle of the week; Wednesday with the section: Eye Candy, February Edition. Basically it’s a group of covers I liked the most from the titles to be released in the current month. The review of Eternal Starling / By; Angela Corbett was the post for Thursday. Friday I shared a Teaser / Insight of Pandemonium / By: Lauren Oliver. That’s everything for this week … Happy Reading!!!

“Alex was the one who understood things here.
He could have built up this collapse street for me,
turned into a place of sense and order.
He was going to led me the wilderness.
with him, I would have been okay.“
Eternal Starling / Angela Corbett
February 2nd, 2012
Book Type: Hardcover
Publisher: Pendrell
Age Range: Young Adult
Publication Date: December 6, 2011
Author Web Page:
Evie Starling has lived a relatively uneventful life hanging out with friends, gossiping about boys, and driving her 1966 Mustang. All of that changes when she moves to Gunnison, Colorado, to start college and meets two mysterious men. For centuries, Alex Night and Emil Stone have yearned for Evie but they each have their own reasons for wanting to be with her. When both men claim to be her soul mate and tell her about an unbelievable past, Evie learns that she’s not the person she thought she was. Soon, Evie finds herself in the middle of an age-old battle between the Amaranthine Society the soul protectors, and the Daevos Resistance the soul destroyers. With a past she doesn’t understand, and a future rife with danger, Evie has to decide who she can trust. But Alex and Emil aren’t the only ones who want Evie, and her soul is about to become the rope in an eternal tug of war.
Soulmates, a beautiful concept that maybe is not so easy to define; Eternal Starling captures this beautiful concept exploring the meaning of choices and destiny. Eternal Starling narrates the story of Evie, a girl who lives a normal life until two handsome guys walk into her life and she learns the truth of herself and two secret societies; The Amaranthine and The Daevos Resistance. WOW!!! This book was a page turner for me and the girl (AKA ME) who’s not fond of love triangles was just converted. Corbett stands out as a writer creating a strong female character and stating how choice VS destiny plays a part in the character’s journey. As a reader I’m very into love stories and what I loved about this one is that I could see and feel Evie’s confusion between her choice (Emil) and her destiny (Alex). Those two guys stood out as characters for very different reasons, but it’s clear their love for Evie is real. Also the societies’ mythologies that take part of the story is brilliant and it’s beautiful to have a story that’s based on love. It’s wonderful how Corbett takes the reader on a journey where she shows you the beautiful thing about pre-destined love, but also she shows you the allure of choosing who you want to love. At the end Eternal Starling left me with that; the beauty of this truth. Love can be predestined and it’s beautiful, eternal and profound but the choice of love could be equally the same. Eternal Starling, the story of a girl who will defeat a powerful society to have the chance to be HERSELF and her journey to find peace between her heart and soul.
Team Alex!!! Sorry I need to say it. I will give an E-Book of Eternal Starling and Swag Material for one winner that will be choose between the people who comment in the review.
