'Waiting on' Wednesday: Finale by Becca Fitzpatrick

"Waiting on" Wednesday is a weekly even hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases we're super excited about. This week, my pick is:

Finale

Hush, Hush Book #4 

By Becca Fitzpatrick

Publication Date: October 23, 2012

Published By: Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing

Fates unfurl in the gripping conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Hush, Hush saga.Nora is more certain than ever that she is in love with Patch. Fallen angel or no, he is the one for her. Her heritage and destiny may mean they are fated to be enemies, but there is no turning her back on him. Now Nora and Patch must gather their strength to face one last, perilous trial. Old enemies return, new enemies are made, and a friend's ultimate betrayal threatens the peace Patch and Nora so desperately want. The battle lines are drawn—but which sides are they on? And in the end, are there some obstacles even love can't conquer?

I have loved every moment of every one of these books and I'm very excited (and scared) to see how things will end up for Patch & Nora. This is my Waiting On, what's yours? 

Treasured Thursday: Most Treasured Angels

Treasured Thursday is a weekly event created by Touya over at The Reader's Garden that is all about our most treasured. I'm hosting it here now, for those of you who are interested in joining me. This week our topic is our most treasured angels.


Well, lemme be honest. I like Fallen Angels better than any angel could dream... I just like the paranormal aspect of angels, though, and I'll be honest, Gabriel from Halo was a very close second here...


But I have a favorite. I have somebody I would do I lot for if it meant he could be real...ya know, and like ME. But I'm shallow like that. I digress; my favorite and most treasured angel (fallen...) is...

Patch, from Hush, Hush.

For those of you who haven't read it, here's the summery:

For Nora Grey, romance was not part of the plan. She's never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school,no matter how much her best friend, Vee, pushes them at her...until Patch comes along. With his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Nora is drawn to him against her better judgment, but after a series of terrifying encounters, Nora's not sure whom to trust. Patch seems to be everywhere she is, and to know more about her than her closest friends. She can't decide whether she should fall into his arms or run and hide. And when she tries to seek some answers, she finds herself near a truth that is far more unsettling than anything Patch makes her feel.
For Nora is right in the middle of an ancient battle between the immortal and those that have fallen - and when it comes to choosing sides, the wrong choice will cost her life.


Now, as much as that sounds like just flat out drama and insanity (which it is, which is wonderful, but), Patch plays a very big "normal" part of the story, and my God, I love him oh-so-very much I can't stand it. He's charming in that complete-tool sort of way, flirty and sexy as it gets...and this is on paper. I applaud you, Becca!


I am getting off topic a lot...this happens when I talk about guys I like...anyhow. Point being. Patch is definitely my most treasured (fallen) Angel, and will be for a long time! Who's yours?

Author Appreciation Day 12: The Magnificence That Is Becca Fitzpatrick

Author Appreciation Day 12 goes to Becca Fitzpatrick! <3

Becca Fitzpatrick is the author of the Hush, Hush series, and she has a short story in Kiss Me Deadly: 13 Stories of Paranormal Love. I've had the pleasure of conversing with Becca on a few occasions, and I am not afraid to tell you she is one of the nicest people I've ever met.

I saw Hush, Hush when I was in a King Soopers (Or Krogers, depending on where in the country you are) with my dad. He's used to me going, "Hold on a sec!" when we walk down these aisles, and it was the case here. Rarely do black covers catch my attention but this one did (turns out Becca had a lot to do with this cover!). I read the summary and the Meet The Author on both flaps, and ended up buying it, seeing how I had some cash burning a hole in my pocket (ha!).

I finished Hush, Hush in two weeks, I think. And considering I read books by the ton, this is outstanding for me. Hehe.

Anyway. The novel is about a girl named Nora, who meets a mysterious boy named Patch. Patch, we come to find to find out, is a fallen angel, and totally gorgeous. I seriously want a Patch, Becca wrote him so well I felt like I was Nora, there with this...Ugh. I can't even describe Patch, I love him so much.

I'm about halfway through with Crescendo now, and I am once again in the mind of Nora Grey. And I very much enjoy the dreams in the beginning, because...hello, Patch. That's all I can say because I don't want to spoil anything. 

Since I have not finished Crescendo, it is pretty obvious I have not gotten to Silence yet. But I did get to go to a book signing thanks to Mel (Thank you, again!) and found out that, after the forth novel in the Hush, Hush series, Finale, is published (I am having trouble believing it's really ending...) she is going to take a swim in the Contemporary Pool. I won't share the spoilers because I'm not sure if they are meant to be made public yet, or if she was just sharing with us at The Tattered Cover, but I will say I am very much looking forward to it!

I know I've said it about everyone I've written a post for this month, but it is very true again that I will be following Becca along her road as an author, and I look forward to the trip!
