Trust In Me Cover Reveal and Giveaway!

Y'all know I'm a huge fan of anything by Jennifer L. Armentrout, so I couldn't resist participating in the cover reveal for TRUST IN ME!  This companion novel follows the events of WAIT FOR YOU (plus some new material that I am dying for!) from Cam's perspective.

It’s Wait for You as you’ve never seen it. Trust in Me lets you in on Cam’s side of the #1 New York Times Bestselling story.

Cameron Hamilton is used to getting what he wants, especially when it comes to women. But when Avery Morgansten comes crashing into his life – literally – he finally meets the one person who can resist his soulful baby blues. But Cam’s not ready to give up. He can’t get the feisty and intriguing girl out of his head.

Avery has secrets, secrets that keep her from admitting the feelings Cam knows she has for him. Will persistence (and some delicious homemade cookies) help him break down her barriers and gain her trust? Or will he be shut out of Avery's life, losing his first real shot at the kind of love that lasts forever?

AHHHH!  I adore this and cannot wait to have it in my greedy paws!  If you haven't jumped on this series yet, I cannot recommend it enough!  The colour and fonts and design and everything works so so wonderfully!  But onto more fun stuff... A GIVEAWAY!

And just in case my argument compelled you *wink*, here are a few buying links for you.  You're welcome *swag walk out*.

A to Z Survey

I love me a good survey.  I kind of used to be a survey fiend on Xanga, MySpace, and even Facebook.  I think I've done a couple on my Tumblr too!  There is something so fun about them, so when I saw that Jamie from The Perpetual Page-Turner had created an old-school survey, I had to jump on this bandwagon!

So without further ado...

Author You've Read the Most Books From:
J.R. Ward at 13 books (all of the Black Dagger Brotherhood books, plus one other)

Best Sequel Ever:
Unravel Me by Taherah Mafi was ah-mazing

Currently Reading:
Fire With Fire by Jenny Han & Siobhan Vivian

Drink of Choice While Reading:
Coffee (obviously) or a beer/vodka ice tea in the evening

E-reader or Physical Book:
I love my Kobo Arc, but nothing beats a physical book

Fictional Character You Probably Would Have Actually Dated in High School:
Ha, oh no.  I was pretty awkward in high school (still am...) so likely none.  I want to say someone like Tod from the Soul Screamers series by Rachel Vincent.

Glad You Gave This Book a Chance:
Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead

Hidden Gem Book:
Dark Triumph by Robin LaFevers

Important Moment in your Reading Life:
When I was in high school, we had 20 minutes of silent reading, everyday, at the start of second period.  One day, I had nothing to read and grabbed the first pretty cover I was in the library.  That book turned out to be Twilight, and got me back into reading!

Just Finished:
After Math by Denise Grover Swank

Kinds of Books You Won't Read:
I can't manga/anime/graphic novels.  I tried and can't get into them.  I also have a hard time with books that have strong religious meanings.  Religious undertones are fine, but I'm not into being put down for my beliefs.

Longest Book You've Read:
According to Goodreads, it's Fallout by Ellen Hopkins (665 pages), but I have read Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy (754 pages).

Major Book Hangover Because Of:
The back-to-back combination of Star Cursed by Jessica Spotswood and Dark Triumph by Robin LaFevers

Number of Bookcases You Own:
I only have 1, but I regularly raid my mom's 6 bookcases...

One Book You Have Read Multiple Times:
My copy of Shadow Kissed by Richelle Mead has been well-read

Preferred Place To Read:
In my bed :)

Quote that Inspires You/Gives You All The Feels From a Book You've Read:
"Whatever the color, the shape, the design of the shade that conceals it, the flame inside the lamp remains the same.  You are that flame."
 --Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare

Reading Regret:
Not reading (for pleasure) through my first year of university

Series You Started And Need To Finish (all the books are out in series):
The Jessica Darling series

Three of Your All-Time Favourite Books:
Shadow Kissed by Richelle Mead, Impulse by Ellen Hopkins, Confessions of a Monster Hunter by Josh Gates

Unapologetic Fangirl For:
Anything Jennifer L. Armentrout.

Very Excited For This Release More Than All Others:
The Bitter Kingdom by Rae Carson and City of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare

Worst Bookish Habit:
I peek at endings.  I can't help myself.

X Marks The Spot (start at the top left of your shelf and pick the 27th book):
Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Your Latest Book Purchuse:
I actually went to Chapters today and bought Insignia by S.J. Kincaid, Seven Deadly Sins Vol.1 by Robin Wasserman, and The Forsaken by Lisa M. Stasse.

Zzz-snatcher book (last book that kept you up WAY late):
My pharmacology textbook Dare You To by Katie McGarry

Guys, this was actually so much fun to do!  Give it a try, leave me a link, and be sure to go check out Jamie and thank her for this awesome-ness!
