Prevent Pre-ordering

No... not really. I truly love pre-ordering books on my Kindle app. What I don't love, is the fact that every single day I wonder if one of the many books I pre-ordered are coming out soon. See, if you pre-order far in advance like I do, this become a painful daily, weekly, monthly routine.


What I have currently in pre-order:
  • The Elite by Kiera Cass {April 25}
  • Of Triton by Anna Banks {May 28}
  • Allegient by Veronica Roth {Oct 22}
Obviously, The Elite by Kiera Cass is coming out this Thursday, and is the book I am currently dying to get my hands on! But, I am eaxcited, if not more excited, to read Allegient and Of Triton.

So, lets start with The Elite. You should remember I read The Selection last year and LOVED LOVED LOVED it! It was totally Hunger Games meets The Bachelor. I felt like I was watching a new reality TV show and, I will admit, I enjoyed that part about it. This book takes off where the first one ended. I cannot tell too much without spoiling The Selection, so I will leave it at that. If you haven't read it yet, I suggest doing so ASAP!

Next up, coming in May is Of Triton. This is book is the sequel of Anna Banks's Of Posedion. I did not review this book yet, but I can quickly tell you I found it refreshing and very interesting. This is not a dystopia {whaaattttt???? I am not reading a dystopia?} but, it is a YA fantasy about mermaids. Ok, don't stop reading, this is not The Little Mermaid. Emma is a girl who lives on land, has no clue about the Syrenas {mermaids} and winds up being extremely entangled in their world. Here is a quick publisher's summary, that I think truly doesn't hook as much as I would like it to:

Galen is the prince of the Syrena, sent to land to find a girl he's heard can communicate with fish. Emma is on vacation at the beach. When she runs into Galen — literally, ouch! — both teens sense a connection. But it will take several encounters, including a deadly one with a shark, for Galen to be convinced of Emma's gifts. Now, if he can only convince Emma that she holds the key to his kingdom . . .


Of Posedion left us on a cliff hanger and I am telling you, I find myself wondering about Of Triton OFTEN! I am extremely excited to May to roll around so I can devour this book and find out what is going onnnnn!

The last book but definitely MOST AWAITED book on my pre-order list is Allegient. Now let me tell you something, I. AM. DYING. TO READ THIS BOOK! If you have not read Divergent or Insurgent, stop reading this blog RIGHT NOW get on your Kindle and order this now, or hop in your car and drive to Barnes and Noble {get with the times people} but, whatever you do-- you need to get your hands on these books! I am a huge fan of dystopias {I'm sure by now you've noticed that} and Allegient is the third installment in Veronica Roth's dystopian planned trilogy. I am assuming book three may have similarities to Mockingjay, but I'm ok with that because I truly loved The Hunger Games series. Veronica Roth even has a movie in the works with cast members already picked out. These books {if they aren't already  there} are going to be the next Hunger Games, Harry Potter, Twilight... you get my point.

So, pre-ordering books... I do it because I must must must get the books I want ASAP but, man it does suck waiting. Luckily April 25th is coming VERY soon, and I will hopefully have time to write about The Elite.

Summer is soon approaching and I can already see myself blogging verrrrrrrrrryyyyy often!

Catch ya on the flip side!


EDIT April 23, 7:46 AM: I just refreshed my Kindle app andddd... THE ELITE JUST DOWNLOADED! Yay!!!
