Wooohooo.
Anyways, Page's first book, The Beautiful and the Cursed is one of THE BEST books of 2013. Seriously. It was full of pulse racing adventure, and heart stopping romance.

Summary from Goodreads: Ingrid and Gabby survived the Underneath. They saved their brother, Grayson, from a future of dark servitude and exposed a plot to undermine the Alliance. But danger still lurks in the streets of Paris, and the Dispossessed, perched on the city's bridges and rooftops, might not be able to save their human wards this time...

There is something irresistible about seeing where different
writers work. It’s part of the bigger (and even more irresistible) question of how a writer works, and for me, seeing
another writer’s space and the things they surround themselves with for inspiration
never gets old.
For years I wrote at my dining room table while sitting in a
wooden chair. I dreamed of having my own office but knew it wouldn’t happen
until we moved to a bigger home. When we checked out a house that came with a
small and shabby one-room cabin, I was sold. Thankfully, my husband was as
well!
The previous owners had let their goose and ducks live in
the cabin, so it was a total wreck on the inside. Not to mention the guy left
all his stuff behind as well!
It took a year or so but my husband put down new floors,
installed radiant heat, and even painted the walls.
The previous owner might have left the floors covered in
goose poop (he also left his shoes and socks. Thanks, guy!) but he also left a
bookshelf! I have shelves dedicated to YA books, middle grade books, classics,
non-fiction, and romance. Of course, my two-year-old is determined to
disorganize them.
He also left this strange little painting pinned to the
door. It looks like a pear, just hanging out. What do you think? It’s just
weird enough for me to keep…
You won’t find many zombie books on my shelves, however.
There’s always an exception, like The Forest of Hands and Teeth and World War
Z, but for the most part, zombies scare the hell out of me! My friend knows
this and had this sign made, which I hung on the wall:
The cabin, though small, still feels like a luxury
sometimes. It’s a work-in-progress but I love that I can do anything I want
with it. The views of the woods and the field, and the silence that greets me
whenever I sit down to write right here:
is inspiring. Stories can be written anywhere, but it’s nice
to have a place where I can sit and dream and just be me.

I read The Beautiful and the Cursed and I loved it oh so much. I think, needless to say, I've been more than excited to see this book come out. As soon as I saw the title on bloglovin', I- my heart jumped. I've had this on my TBR list for a while and soon it'll be in my hands. Come here, pretty book, pleeeeease... ;v; *totally not weird*
ReplyDeleteAnd Page... you are living my dream, living in a forest. Even though I fear forest fires and such (and raccoon... don't ask *shivers*), the thought of living in a forest just always sounded nice. I'll be too scared to ever act on it though... plus, I'm sure my bf would prefer to live closer to the city, haha. I don't blame him though. :P Still, it's a nice catch. I like it.
Thanks for the Giveaway. I have yet to read The Beautiful and the Cursed.
ReplyDeleteA great post as always! It's awesome how many stories i have discovered and decided to read thanks to you!
ReplyDeleteI have been dying to get my hands on the sequel since I finished "the beautiful and the cursed"!
ReplyDeleteOoo I'm really curious about reading the sequel. This is an intriguing world!
ReplyDeleteI have not read this series yet but I really really want to! It's so awesome how the author changed her cabin to make it her perfect working space. The mountains looks so pretty. I wish I could go to the mountains and just read all day lol! Thanks for the giveaway Jayne!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read the first book yet, but this sounds cool!
ReplyDeleteAnd the cabin looks so awesome now! (Although, who leaves such strange things?...)
Unfortunately, I haven't gotten around to adding these to my TBR! But they sound really good and everything I hear is positive. I love her writing space! Her house is gorgeous, that bookshelf is AMAZING and Zombies stress me out, too :)
ReplyDeleteDon't hate me but I have yetto read The Beautiful and the Cursed but it's on my TBR list! I want to read it real bad but sadly other books have come first! Hope to finally get to it soon :)
ReplyDeleteI love the thing about the cabin. This would be the perfect place for me!
ReplyDeleteDede
The Beautiful and the Cursed is on its way to my house right now! Once I discovered The Lovely and the Lost on Netgalley, I immediately went to Amazon and made an order. I'm so intrigued by these books. They sound so good!
ReplyDeleteThe Beautiful and the Cursed blew me away, and I cannot wait to dive right into The Lovely and the Lost. I love her writing space. Very cool to see where writers do their writing. I owe the writing spaces a thank you, because they make the book a reality!
ReplyDeleteThe cover is so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to start this series
