Nook Reads

So, I've finally downloaded ebooks on my Nook Tablet. And I'm glad i did. I found some authors I've never known before( like Nicky Charles) and I instantly became a fan! I only download free and novels/novellas that are not available in print. 

These are what i got so far.

My teaser for this week comes  from Posses by Gretchen McNeil

She was just drifting off when her breath caught in her throat. The charm on her bracelet tugged at her wrist, standing up of it's own accord and pointing toward her closet door. Before she could even turn to look at it, she heard a noise. From the inside her closet came a distinct scratching.Claws against wood.

I remembered reading this part while i was  preparing to sleep late in the evening. After i read this part, i turned to look at my closet which is just on my right side, 10 inches away from  my side.

                                                                       *****
This movie is about the reality of going through a long-distance relationships. It's amazing and heartbreaking at the same time.The happiness they feel when they are together and the sadness and loneliness when they are apart. And the decision they agreed on while living apart. It didn't feel like watching a movie for me because the characters, the story , the lines, the heartaches and sadness  were like the real thing. It may be boring to some but i just loved this movie.

Quotes:

Anna: [on the phone with Jacob] I just have to say one thing and it's really important that you just listen to me. I just... It doesn't feel like this, this thing is gonna go away, it's always there. I can't... I can't get on with my life. 

Anna: I just don't want you to feel like you're not living your life properly when you are not with me.

Need You Now Lyrics

Picture perfect memories
Scattered all around the floor
Reaching for the phone ’cause
I can’t fight it anymore

And I wonder if I
Ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time

It’s a quarter after one
I’m all alone
And I need you now
Said I wouldn’t call
But I’ve lost all control
And I need you now

And I don’t know how
I can do without
I just need you now

Another shot of whiskey
Can’t stop looking at the door
Wishing you’d come sweeping
In the way you did before

And I wonder if I
Ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time

It’s a quarter after one
I’m a little drunk
And I need you now
Said I wouldn’t call
But I’ve lost all control
And I need you now

And I don’t know how
I can do without
I just need you now

Whoa, whoa
Guess I’d rather hurt
Than feel nothing at all

It’s a quarter after one
I’m all alone
And I need you now
And I said I wouldn’t call
But I’m a little drunk
And I need you now

And I don’t know how
I can do without
I just need you now
I just need you now

Oh baby, I need you now

The MV Safe and Sound by Taylor Swift feat The Civil Wars

Lyrics:

I remember tears streaming down your face

When I said, I'll never let you go

When all those shadows almost killed your light

I remember you said, Don't leave me here alone

But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight...

Just close your eyes

The sun is going down

You'll be alright

No one can hurt you now

Come morning light

You and I'll be safe & sound...

Don't you dare look out your window darling;

Everything's on fire

The war outside our door keeps raging on

Hold onto this lullaby

Even when the music's gone, gone

Just close your eyes

You'll be alright

Come morning light,

You and I'll be safe & sound...

Another dystopian novel.

TITLE: Article 5
AUTHOR: Kristen Simmons

Synopsis:
New York, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C., have been abandoned.

The Bill of Rights has been revoked, and replaced with the Moral Statutes.

There are no more police—instead, there are soldiers. There are no more fines for bad behavior—instead, there are arrests, trials, and maybe worse. People who get arrested usually don't come back.

Seventeen-year-old Ember Miller is old enough to remember that things weren’t always this way. Living with her rebellious single mother, it’s hard for her to forget that people weren’t always arrested for reading the wrong books or staying out after dark. It’s hard to forget that life in the United States used to be different.

Ember has perfected the art of keeping a low profile. She knows how to get the things she needs, like food stamps and hand-me-down clothes, and how to pass the random home inspections by the military. Her life is as close to peaceful as circumstances allow.

That is, until her mother is arrested for noncompliance with Article 5 of the Moral Statutes. And one of the arresting officers is none other than Chase Jennings…the only boy Ember has ever loved.

I just love this cover!

Even Ana’s own mother thinks she’s a nosoul, an omen of worse things to come, and has kept her away from society. To escape her seclusion and learn whether she’ll be reincarnated, Ana travels to the city of Heart, but its citizens are suspicious and afraid of what her presence means. When dragons and sylph attack the city, is Ana to blame?

HEART
Sam believes Ana’s new soul is good and worthwhile. When he stands up for her, their relationship blooms. But can he love someone who may live only once, and will Ana’s enemies—human and creature alike—let them be together? Ana needs to uncover the mistake that gave her someone else’s life, but will her quest threaten the peace of Heart and destroy the promise of reincarnation for all?
