Waiting on Wednesday (014) - The Last Princess

The Last Princess by Galaxy Craze

Expected Publication: May 8th, 2012 | Poppy

Pages: 304

Genre: YA Dystopian

Summary: Happily ever after is a thing of the past.

The year is 2090.

England is a barren land. Food is rationed. Oil has decimated the oceans. The people are restless.

A ruthless revolutionary enacts a plan to destroy the royal family, and in a moment, the king is dead. His heiress, Princess Mary, and her brother, Jamie, have been abducted, and no one knows their fate. Princess Eliza Windsor barely escapes, and finds herself scared and lost in London's dangerous streets.

With a mind for revenge and the safe recovery of her siblings, Eliza joins the enemy forces in disguise. There she is tempted by her first taste of independence -- and true love. Ultimately she must summon her courage and fight to ensure that she does not become... The Last Princess.

Why I'm excited: I'm not very into dystopian books, but I love a princess story. And one who basically kicks ass? Yes, please! Books released from Poppy are surprising me. Maybe they'll be the next big publisher to blossom. Eh. Eh. (heh)

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine. What are you featuring this week!?

Teaser Tuesday (004)

Charlie All Night by Jennifer Crusie
March 18th, 1995 | Adult

He bent to kiss her, and she held her breath and felt his lips on hers, warm and gently and everything he was, and she kissed him then, with all the love she had for him, memorizing him, breathing with him as his mouth grew hot on hers. -- pg. 279

Tuned in Tuesday (003)

This is "Tune in Tuesday" hosted by Ginger at GReads. I'll feature a song with a music video I absolutely love and think you should listen too!

Today, as obvious, is Valentine's Day so I've decided to post my new favorite song that is simply beautiful. This chick is probably my new favorite K-Pop singer. Definitely the rookie of the year!!
The video is absolutely gorgeous. The song is about nothing but love. Being in love. Happy love. Undeniable love. And irrevocable love. Watch the video below.



Here is the debut song and MV from rookie singer, Ailee with "Heaven"!


Please check out the live performance here. It is somehow better than the original. And watch her gorgeous cover of Beyonce's "Halo" here!

Do you have a "Tune in Tuesday"? Link it. And tell me what you think of this song! ♥

♥♪♫ Happy Valentine's Day ♫♪♥
