#BookTrailerThursday - Can't Wait For More From Shatter Me Author Tahereh Mafi?


Book Trailer Thursdays!

To participate, post an entry in your blog on Thursdays with an embedded book trailer of your choice (note: the trailer can be fan made but please no movie trailers of book adaptations) with your thoughts and comments underneath. It can be a book you have read, want to read or have never even come across before. 

Today we are featuring a novella from "Shatter Me" author Tahereh Mafi!

Did you LOVE Tahereh Mafi's "Shatter Me"?

You remember...

"Juliette hasn’t touched anyone in exactly 264 days.

The last time she did, it was an accident, but The Reestablishment locked her up for murder. No one knows why Juliette’s touch is fatal. As long as she doesn’t hurt anyone else, no one really cares. The world is too busy crumbling to pieces to pay attention to a 17-year-old girl. Diseases are destroying the population, food is hard to find, birds don’t fly anymore, and the clouds are the wrong color.

The Reestablishment said their way was the only way to fix things, so they threw Juliette in a cell. Now so many people are dead that the survivors are whispering war– and The Reestablishment has changed its mind. Maybe Juliette is more than a tortured soul stuffed into a poisonous body. Maybe she’s exactly what they need right now.

Juliette has to make a choice: Be a weapon. Or be a warrior."

Make the wait for the sequel, UNRAVEL ME a little easier...enjoy the novella...DESTROY ME!


The official trailer for DESTROY ME, an e-original novella in Tahereh Mafi's Shatter Me series.

"In SHATTER ME, Juliette escaped from The Reestablishment by seducing Warner-and then putting a bullet in his shoulder. But Warner is not that easy to get rid of . . .

Back at the base and recovering from his near-fatal wound, Warner must do everything in his power to suppress any mention of a rebellion in the sector. Still as obsessed with Juliette as ever, his first priority is to find her, bring her back, and dispose of Adam and Kenji, the two traitors who helped her escape. But when Warner's father, the Supreme Commander of The Reestablishment, arrives to correct his son's mistakes, it's clear that he has much different plans for Juliette. Plans Warner simply cannot allow.

Set after SHATTER ME and before the spellbinding sequel, UNRAVEL ME, DESTROY ME is told from the perspective of Warner, the ruthless leader of Sector 45."

...so while you are, not so patiently, waiting for the sequel to Shatter Me - check out Destroy Me 

You know I wouldn't leave you without a teaser for UNRAVEL ME - are you as in love with the cover art as I am?

"And oooooooooooh, it is amaaaaazing. This is an aesthetic change-up for the series, and we're digging it! And with that strikeout tagline—a clever throw to Juliette's inner monologue from the first book—there's no doubt that "Unravel Me" will open up a whole new world for the heroine as she finds her new home at Omega Point, meets other people with gifts like hers, and struggles to focus on her love for Adam even with the villainous Warner still out there. (And speaking of Warner: Don't miss the digital novella, "Destroy Me," (out in October) that offers a scary-sexy peek inside the mind of the man who tried to claim Juliette for his own...and that might just have you rethinking how you want this story to end.)"                                                                Cover Comment and Reveal via Hollywood Crush on MTV!

Review: The Seven Swords - Book 2


THE SEVEN SWORDS
Book 2 of the Otherworld Chronicles
By Nils Johnson-Shelton

The Kingfisher children, Artie and Kay, have found that an Otherworld and magic exist, and that in that world, Artie is King Arthur. They also found that freeing Merlin from The Invisible Tower was not the end of their adventures.

Now, Artie, Kay and the rest of Artie’s court and friends must find and rejoin the Seven Swords: Excalibur, Cleomede, Gram, Kusanagi, Orgulus, the Anguish and the Peace Sword. This quest brings them many perils, new friends and allies, and knowledge about what is right and wrong. Artie, especially, learns what the duties and expectations of a good king are.

While this is the second book in a series it can easily stand alone and you won't feel lost....personally I am looking forward to getting to know these characters better!

This title will be released on January 2, 2013.



Publisher's Description (from Book 1: The Invisible Tower):

Part of the spell has already been broken.

The first stones have begun to crumble.
In Artie Kingfisher’s world, wizards named Merlin, fire-breathing dragons, and swords called Excalibur exist only in legends and lore—until the day his video game Otherworld springs to life.
You are special, Arthur,
Says the mysterious message in his game.
In one week’s time you will come to me at the it.
Cryptic clues lead Artie to a strange place called the Invisible Tower, where he discovers that nothing in his life is as it seems. Artie is none other than King Arthur, brought to life in the twenty-first century. Artie has won the battle in the virtual Otherworld—now the key to saving the realOtherworld lies in his hands as well.
Green dragons, hungry wolves, powerful sorcerers—suddenly Artie must battle them all as he wields Excalibur and embarks on a quest worthy of the Knights of the Round Table. With his sister, Kay, by his side, Artie steps into the Otherworld—straight toward his destiny.
