Meet Juliette Cole, she’s just arrived back to Silicon Valley after three heartbreaking months following her grad school love to London. Moving in with childhood friend turned blond bombshell she gets introduced to Cassie’s crazy over the top lifestyle. Taking a job at a Silicon Valley startup she learns that work is more than just hoodies and free gourmet food. Thankfully she has The Princesses, her close group of girlfriends from college who all went as princesses to a Halloween party their freshman year.

They don’t call San Jose- Man Jose for nothing. Juliette’s heart is not lonely for long. Swimming before work she sees a guy with the most amazing six pack get out of the pool. Now she has a new quest – to meet him. While playing soccer she gets knocked out by an opposing player. The player’s hot doctor brother helps her to the sidelines then starts texting her. As things start heating up in Juliette’s personal life she now has two guys vying for her attention. Who will it be sexy swimmer Zach or hot Dr. Nate?

INKED | Christy from Novel Ink

For today's INKED post, I will be showing off my tattoos :)

Name: Christy

Website: Novel Ink

Tell us a little about yourself: I always suck at answering these types of questions, but I'll do my best.  My name is Christy and I'm 27 years old.  I'm married to my high school sweetheart, Jesse, and we have 2 beautiful kids, Landon who is 8 and Shyann who is 1 1/2.  I'm currently in Nursing School (I'm done in July!!!) so between school and the kids, I don't have a lot of free time, but when I do, you can find me with a book in my hands or on the computer blogging.

Before we get started on today's Trivia Tuesday post, Erica and I have an announcement regarding this feature. 

We are going to do a giveaway connected with this feature!! This is how it's going to work. Please be sure to read all of the below rules!

• The first person to guess ALL 3 answers correctly will be entered to win a surprise book off of their wishlist
• Their will be 2 giveaways a year, one at the end of June and one at the end of December
• This will be INT (as long as The Book Depository ships to you)
• Everyone is welcome to play each week, no matter if you've won the week before.  However, since this is the case, the winner will no longer be able to generate a question for the next week, but they will receive a shout out on Social Media
• The entries are simple, the first person to guess all three answers correctly will get their name in the drawing TWICE.  The 2nd person to guess all three answers correctly will get their name in the drawing ONCE.  This will happen each week.

• If you have any questions please let us know!

ARC Book Review | Gone Too Far by Natalie Richards

Format: e-ARC
Source: Publisher via Netgalley
Publisher: Sourcebooks Fire
Publication: January 6, 2015
My Rating: 3 out of 5 Stars

Keeping secrets ruined her life. But the truth might just kill her.

Piper Woods can't wait for the purgatory of senior year to end. She skirts the fringes of high school like a pro until the morning she finds a notebook with mutilated photographs and a list of student sins. She's sure the book is too gruesome to be true, until pretty, popular Stella dies after a sex-tape goes viral. Everyone's sure it's suicide, but Piper remembers Stella's name from the book and begins to suspect something much worse.

Drowning in secrets she doesn't want to keep, Piper's fears are confirmed when she receives an anonymous text message daring her to make things right. All she needs to do is choose a name, the name of someone who deserves to be punished...  

Sunday Silliness (2) What We Want in 2015

What We Want in 2015

Our Sunday Silliness this week will include our resolutions/goals for the year of 2015. Christy and I will be telling you guys about bookish, life, and any other miscellaneous resolutions/goals that we have. It won't stop there though because we would love to hear what you guys have planned for your year. I know this may not be the 'silliness' you guys would think of, like fun/games, but it is something from the norm of just book reviews so I thought we should give it a go...especially to celebrate the new, beautiful year we have ahead of us.

Book Review | No Such Thing as Perfect by Sarah Daltry

Format: e-RC

Source: Sarah Daltry's Rep. Karen via E-mail

Publisher: Smashwords Edition

Publication Date: November 27, 2014

My Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars

College was supposed to be perfect. She was supposed to be perfect.

For Lily Drummond, life is about following the rules. To be specific, her mother’s rules. College fit into the plan – maintain perfect grades, date the perfect guy, and live the perfect life. On her own, though, Lily realizes that she doesn’t actually have a plan. Without being told what to think and do, she keeps making mistakes.

Away from home, the perfect facade is beginning to shatter. When Lily herself starts to break, it’s the support of an unlikely friend that teaches her how much of a lie perfect really is – and how to be whole on her own terms.

NOTE: This is NOT a romance novel and there is no on-camera sex.

INKED | Erica from Novel Ink

Name: Erica

Tell us a little about yourself: I really am never good at this. I always think I over share when I write my introductions into groups or just talk about myself. I ramble...kind of like I am now. Annnnnyway, I am Erica as you all know from the first question. I am twenty years young and I am going to school to major in Accounting. I absolutely love books, although, recently is when I turned my reading gears on. I always wanted a blog and I started my own, but I found Christy (thank goodness) and we became co-bloggers. I absolutely love watching Netflix (Criminal Minds, Supernatural, Grey's Anatomy and Ghost Whisperer). Okay, my rambling rant is over :)
