Book Cover Reveal: Out of Focus

OUT OF FOCUS BY L.B. SIMMONS
I have established that I am in no doubt a book lover when I was in high school. The library is my favorite place during those four years. I have read different genre of books from fiction to non – fiction. I often wondered how authors conceptualize everything from the story itself to its cover. It must be hard!

Now that I have a chance to help, I’ve signed up with InkSlinger PR to help authors spread the word about their work. For today, we are revealing the book cover of “Out of Focus” by L.B. Simmons.

WEDDING SEASON

WEDDING SEASON

            Whenever I had a budget I would buy books. Ever since I have discovered a store that sells second hand books I am so pleased that I become a regular customer. That is the good thing about books when you are done reading them you can keep it or you can share them. I think the owner understands what a single book can do in its reader. How a book can change a perspective whether it is new or old.
            I bought Wedding Season by  Katie Fforde because at that time I was thinking of becoming a wedding planner which is the job of Sarah the main character of the story. I want to find how other people especially the writers see a wedding planner as a career. I want to find out what is needed in order to become one.

QUOTES AND REVIEW: THE BLOOD OF OLYMPUS BY RICK RIORDAN

              Finally! I am done reading the newest book of Rick Riordan – The Blood of Olympus. My high school friend and I are both waiting for the release of this book to know if Leo Valdez will find a way to go back to Calypso. Did he? Well, I don’t want to be a spoiler so I want you to read the book.

            If you have finished reading the book you might notice that most of the quotes I like are from Nico’s POV. I appreciate how Rick Riordan let his readers see how some of his characters have changed. I am talking about the characters of Nico di Angelo and his father Hades the God of Death. I never expected that the author would give Nico his change to “clear the air” with Percy’s character. I literally clapped my hand when I read what Nico told Percy (it is the last quote in this blog).

            Although my friend and I both agreed that the ending is a really a cliff hanger, we are glad that everyone (I mean the characters) are happy. Anyway, here are the quotes feel free to comment your favorite.
