Nourishing the Need (5)

Nourishing the Need is a blog feature that will be posted here every week. It will feature Book Covers and Book Finds and will also give me an opportunity to let me talk anything about books! Last week I couldn't do a post since my computer didn't want to work but, thankfully, I can do a post today!

Book Covers:
Under the Mesquite by Guadalupe Garcia McCall
I love how the sun is behind and makes a shadow on the tree and the girl. Oh and how the girl seems to be looking up at the tree.

Extraordinary by Nancy Werlin
I really like this cover! I would love to go to a place like that and just lay down on the grass! I like how the reader only sees the back of the person.

Book Finds:
Stranded by J.T. Dutton
For a really long time I've wanted to read a book like this. I don't exactly know why but I just do! Plus it seems like an interesting book.

All Just Glass by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes
I loved the description! It seems like the kind of that I could just read all day long without stopping! I can't wait to actually read it!

Bloggiesta!

Do that yesterday I couldn't do much since I didn't have time, I'm now starting the Bloggiesta. I know I may be somewhat late but I'm hoping to accomplish much in the next days. If you want to know what I'm planning to do just click here. So now I'm going to do what I can do to meet all the things I need to do!

I have the first and it seems I've been waiting forever for this book! I really want to see what happens next! Hopefully it's good!

The Iron King by Julie Kagawa
I've heard so many good things about this book that it only made me want to get so bad! I'm hoping it's as good as so many say!

I have my computer back and I'm so happy!!

An Update

Update on me: I can finally use my computer!! You don't know how happy I am that I can use it once again! My computer decided to go crazy on me and I couldn't even turn it on. So I spend about 4 days without computer and for me that's torture! So I did some stuff to the computer and now I can have my computer back!! Yay me!! =)
