to SUNDAYS IN BED WITH... Meme started by Kate @ Midnight Book Girl, where I share what book is currently on my Kindle and I'm curled up with (or, as in my case, what book I wish I had time to spend reading, after church and getting everything ready for the week! Not that I have 2 kids and a husband or anything. LOL!) I think maybe I need to name this meme "Sundays Where My Kindle Is Laying On My Bed Where I Wish A Was"....  LOL!! Anywho... I am currently reading Stitch (Stitch Trilogy #1) by Samantha Durante for Blog Tour. If you haven't read it DO IT! I'm loving it. I have never read anything like it.

Here's the summary from Goodreads...

Stitch (Stitch Trilogy #1)

by Samantha Durante

Paperback, 314 pages

Published August 1st 2012 by Samantha Durante

Summary Goodreads

Her heart races, her muscles coil, and every impulse in Alessa's body screams at her to run... but yet she's powerless to move.

Still struggling to find her footing after the sudden death of her parents, the last thing college freshman Alessa has the strength to deal with is the inexplicable visceral pull drawing her to a handsome ghostly presence. In between grappling with exams and sorority soirees - and disturbing recurring dreams of being captive in a futuristic prison hell - Alessa is determined to unravel the mystery of the apparition who leaves her breathless. But the terrifying secret she uncovers will find her groping desperately through her nightmares for answers.

Because what Alessa hasn't figured out yet is that she's not really a student, the object of her obsession is no ghost, and her sneaking suspicions that something sinister is lurking behind the walls of her university's idyllic campus are only just scratching the surface...

The opening installment in a twist-laden trilogy, Stitch spans the genres of paranormal romance and dystopian sci-fi to explore the challenges of a society in transition, where morality, vision, and pragmatism collide leaving the average citizen to suffer the results.

This past week I finished up Jack Templar Monster Hunter and started Stitch. Review for Jack will be posted Feb. 4th so check back then. I'm still reading it with my son and he absolutely loves it. I reviewed a great children's bilingual book called  Escucha Means Listen by Talia Aikens-Nuñez. And I had lots of Cover Reveals this week with some really gorgeous covers. Go HERE to check them out.

My "Dreaming of Books Giveaway Hop" began on Thursday. Win the book of your dreams HERE!!

And like every Sunday I would have loved to stay in bed and read all day, but life is waiting outside my door and the dishes, laundry, lesson plans, and my family don't take care of themselves.... :)

Thanks for stopping by! Say hi and let me know what your plans are this week in a comment or leave me your link!! :D

See you next Sunday! :D

Anywho... I am currently reading Jack Templar, Monster Hunter by Jeff Gunhas. Wonderful book! After I got about 30% into the book I went back to the beginning and started it over reading it to my son. He loves it. "Best monster book ever!" were his exact words. LOL!

Here's the summary from Goodreads...

Jack Templar, Monster Hunter (The Templar Chronicles #1)
by Jeff Gunhus 
Kindle Edition, 197 pages
Published October 17th 2012 
by Seven Guns Press (first published October 10th 2012)

Orphan Jack Templar has no memory of his parents and only the smallest details from his Aunt Sophie about how they died. The day before Jack's fourteenth birthday, things start to change for him. At first it's great: A sudden new strength helps him defend his nose-picking friend "T-Rex" from the school bully, and even his crush, Cindy Adams, takes notice. But then a mysterious girl named Eva arrives and tells him two facts that will change his life forever. First, that he's the descendent of a long line of monster hunters and he's destined to be in the family business. Second, that there's a truce between man and monster that children are off-limits...until their fourteenth birthday! Jack has only one day before hundreds of monsters will descend on his little town of Sunnyvale and try to kill him. 

As if that weren't enough, things get even more complicated when Jack discovers that the Lord of the Creach (as the monsters are collectively known) holds a personal grudge against him and will do anything to see that Jack has a slow and painful death. To stay alive and save his friends, Jack will have to battle werewolves, vampires, harpies, trolls, zombies and more. But perhaps the most dangerous thing he must face is the truth about his past. Why do the other hunters call him the last Templar? Why do they whisper that he may be the "One?" Why do the monsters want him dead so badly? Even as these questions plague him, he quickly discovers survival is his new full-time job and that in the world of monster hunters, nothing is really what it seems.

This past week I reviewed The Doorknob Society by M.J. Fletcher. Great book. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. My review is here.

This week I will review a great children's bilingual book called  Escucha Means Listen 

 by Talia Aikens-Nuñez.

And like every Sunday I would have loved to stay in bed and read all day, but life is waiting outside my door and the dishes, laundry, lesson plans, and my family don't take care of themselves.... :)

Chloe Masters’s world changed in a heartbeat - and all she did was touch a doorknob. 

When she was young Chloe’s mother vanished. Wracked by feelings of abandonment and anger she lost herself traveling with her father's magic act, where illusions were part of her everyday life. Yet everything changes when they are pursued by a mysterious man in black out to kill her father. Touching a doorknob activates abilities she never knew she had and she finds herself thrust into a world of ancient societies and secrets.

When her father disappears it is a race against time to find answers before she loses what is left of her family. Now Chloe must choose who to trust, the man who will do anything for her or the one she can’t stop thinking about. Book one of the Doorknob Society series.
