Story Overview:

Never acknowledge the dead.

Never stray far from hallowed ground.

Never get close to the haunted.

Never, ever tempt fate.

My name is Amelia Gray. I'm a cemetery restorer who sees ghosts. In order to protect myself from the parasitic nature of the dead, I've always held fast to these rules passed down from my father…until now.

Detective John Devlin needs my help to find a killer, but he is haunted by ghosts who shadow his every move. To warn him would be to invite them into my life. I've vowed to keep my distance, but the pull of his magnetism grows ever stronger even as the headstone symbols lead me closer to truth and to the gossamer veil that separates this world from the next.

Chit-chat about the book will begin March 15th!!!

Cinder Discussion #3: Prince Kai

So, tell me, what was your impression of Prince Kai? I'm having a hard time thinking up detailed, individual questions, so lets just talk about Kai! What did you love about him? What did you NOT love? 

Cinder Discussion #2: Family Dynamics

So happy to hear that everyone is enjoying the book so far! I really loved it:) Lets discuss Cinder's step-family now. How did you feel about step-mother Adri? How about Cinders step-sisters, Peony and Pearl? Did you enjoy these characters or did you feel they were too stereotypical of the fairy tale? 

Cinder Discussion: Question #1

First off, I want to apologize for not giving this book club the attention it deserves! The past couple months weren't very organized, but I think everyone has been busy. But you're probably READY to start discussing Cinder by now, aren't you?;)

I have a confession. I just started the book today, lol! My mom has been visiting and just left yesterday so I'm hoping to finish it this weekend! But I thought I could come up with something generic to get us going for the first couple days.

Question #1: What was your FIRST thought when you read the synopsis of this book? A cyborg Cinderella? Get outta here! 

No January Book...obvivously, lol!

Hey Chicklets! So, obviously we're not going to have a book for January. It's been a busy month for everyone, I think! I'm getting a schedule together today, but I'll be the hostess for February and I've chosen Cinder for our group read:

Humans and androids crowd the raucous streets of New Beijing. A deadly plague ravages the population. From space, a ruthless lunar people watch, waiting to make their move. No one knows that Earth’s fate hinges on one girl. . . . 

Cinder, a gifted mechanic, is a cyborg. She’s a second-class citizen with a mysterious past, reviled by her stepmother and blamed for her stepsister’s illness. But when her life becomes intertwined with the handsome Prince Kai’s, she suddenly finds herself at the center of an intergalactic struggle, and a forbidden attraction. Caught between duty and freedom, loyalty and betrayal, she must uncover secrets about her past in order to protect her world’s future.

 

Okay I know it sounds different, but I've been wanting to read this book since the minute I saw this cover! And a cyborg-Cinderella? Sounds too interesting to pass up, lol! Here's the link the the Goodreads page for this book, if you like to read reviews first!

Go grab your copy and be ready for discussion around the middle of February!!
