Hello, voyagers! I'm Sil here to show you what I've gotten this month as in book-related things {+ other goodies}! February was such a good month and I'm so sad to see it go - can't believe we're like two days from March?!!? We held our Valentine's Day event which we L O V E D doing and so happy you guys did too! And all the books releasing this month were also pretty good.

So I'm here showing you guys my book haul and book mails I got recently. Some of them I bought, some of them I won and others were kindly sent to me by friends!

The kind and wonderful Dahlia Adler - *cough* if you haven't read her books, do it! - made my day when she told me she was going to send me her ARC of GAtU! This is one of my most anticipated 2016 reads and it seems like it's going to be so much fuuuuun. I'm so ready for the fluffy and the cuteness.

And the book swag is so cute! I didn't expect them and when I opened the first page I was so happy to find them there (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ I've already read Marieke's book and absolutely loved it! Of course I already read Just Visiting (one of my favorite books!). Now I have to check out Liars and Losers Like Us, it sounds amazing and super fun.



Krista and Becca are the nicest, kindest, the most amazing people I know. They write these NA books called the Addicted series and we are all *whispers* addicted to them. LONG WAY DOWN is the last book of the series and it's so frigging huge! It's beautiful and I just love everything about this book a lot. Thank you so much for sending it to me guys <3

They also sent me this Shut the Fucupcakes tank top that Daisy Calloway, a character in their books, uses one time. I completely adore it and the fabric is just super soft and I don't ever want to take it off? The colors are cuteeeee and it's my new fave.



I bought this one not long ago. I read and loved The Young Elites and really wanted TRS asap. When I found it in my local bookstore, I almost screamed and took it. I couldn't believe they had it so early AND IN PAPERBACK? It matches my pb of TYE so I'm a happy watermelon.


I also bought this one (+  my order of TASU who hasn't arrived yet *cries*) but this one got earlier! A couple of days ago after finishing another book, I looked at this one and thought: I want to read this right now. So I totally did and finished it in hours after. It was so cute and perfect. Jennifer writes so well and she transported me back to high school <3






The author, Laura Andersen, did a flash giveaway on Twitter and I was lucky enough to get this one! I love, love, love her Boleyn series and her characters are just so amazing and the story is magical. I'm a sucker for historical fiction but I'm a big sucker for well-written, great investigated historical fiction book. Laura Andersen describes us life at court of Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII. But now it's their children ruling!!! THE TUDOR LEGACY is her newest series about Elizabeth Tudor and her reign - if you like historical fiction and lies and epic love stories and kings and queens, I recommend you to pick it up!

Hello, voyagers! For today, we bring you something really amazing and we're really happy to be a part of this fabulous event. We, with a few bloggers you definitely know, came up with fun posts to share for THE GIRL FROM EVERYWHERE release week! Today is our turn and we can't feel more excited that we already are feeling to be honest. We adored Heidi's book quite a lot and The Book Voyagers will forever share this love to the world because this book deserves it allllll.

Our post consists of various destinatiors the characters of TGFE travel inside the book. We added some little facts about the places just to know more about them! It was so epic to see it; the different time, the different cultures and places, the people leaving there - it is an amazing and magical journey when you decide to get on board of The Temptation and sail with them towards the adventure.

Goodreads synopsis:
I was counting down the months until the end of my deployment. My days were spent working on military vehicles, and I spent my nights playing video games that would distract me until I could leave Staff Sergeant Garrett Reid behind.

That was when I met him: Kai Bannon, a fellow gamer with a famous stream channel.

I never expected to become fixated on someone who'd initially been a rival. And I'd never expected someone who oozed charm to notice me—a guy known for his brutal honesty and scowl. I hadn't planned for our online friendship to turn into something that kept me up at night—hours of chatting evolving into filthy webcam sessions.

But it did. And now I can't stop thinking about him. In my mind, our real life meeting is perfect. We kiss, we fall into bed, and it's love at first sight.

Except, like most things in my life, it doesn't go as planned.

Goodreads synopsis:
Once Rose Fisher makes a decision, that’s it. End of story. 

Like when her ex, Patrick, dumped her out of the blue, then showed up with a super hot, tatted up sex kitten on his arm. Then it was over for good. The end. Poof. Dead to her. Except he was everywhere — down the hall, at the bar with their friends, worming his way into her dreams.

But with their friends paired off, they’re left alone more and more. Rose is determined to keep him friendzoned — doesn’t matter that he stares at her with a smolder that drops all panties in a ten foot radius. She’s over him, and she’ll prove it by getting back into the dating game, Patrick be damned.

Patrick Evans is no stranger to consequences. When your mother walks out, your dad drifts away. When you leave home, you’re on your own. And when you run away from the girl you love, you lose her. He finally has an opportunity to rebuild the bridge he burned, and it’s not one he’ll take for granted. But he’ll have to fight for her, even if it hurts. Even if it means he’ll walk away brokenhearted. Because deep down, he knows that she’s it for him.

The trick will be to get her to admit she feels it too.

Goodreads synopsis:
Clementine Daly knows she’s the black sheep. Her wealthy, powerful family has watched her very closely since she almostgot caught in an embarrassing scandal a few years ago. So when Clementine’s sent on a mission to live up to the Daly name, politely declining isn’t even an option. Of course, the last thing Clementine does before departure is grab a stranger’s phone by mistake—leaving the hunky journalist with her phone. Soon his sexy voice is on the line, but he doesn’t know her real name, or her famous pedigree—which is just the way Clementine likes it.

Despite all the hassles, Justin Mueller is intrigued to realize that the beautiful brown-eyed girl he met at the airport is suddenly at his fingertips. They agree to exchange phones when they’re both back in town, but after a week of flirty texts and wonderfully intimate conversations, Justin doesn’t want to let her go that easy. The only problem? It turns out that Clemetine has been lying to him about, well, everything. Except for the one thing two people can’t fake, the only thing that matters: The heat between them is for real.
I believe this is one of those soulmate aus that are going around on tumblr. Girls accidentally takes guy's cellphone and needs to text/call him so he knows. And from then, they begin to talk and chat and get cuter with the minutes. Clementine and Justin were such fun characters to spend my evening with. They are so adorable together and when they are apart they just call each other and in the shadows you can hear me whisper "I ship it."

Call Me, Maybe is perfect if you're in need of a fluffy, funny, hot with lots of heart book. I didn't expect to like this book a lot but clearly I was drowning in my own feelings the whole time I read. 

Plus if you really like your books with heiresses and trying to keep it hidden: this is your book. Clementine had a little situation in the past happened to her and it has made her family be protective of some things. When she meets Justin she can't tell him who she is so this causes a kinda big problem at the moment. But it was so nice to see the relationship developing in all the ways. Sure, they had some disagreements here and there but I think that's what made it real. Their love was so cute and the times spent together made me smile and be super happy!

Plus if you want to try a New Adult book but are a bit nervous about reading the sex scenes, this is the perfect book to get started. It is undeniable hot BUT the sex scenes are tame and sort-of blackout. The before-sex scenes are the ones you have to be ready for ;) It's definitely a good book to start in NA. 
Liz Czukas is the author of Ask Again Later, and Top Ten Clues You’re Clueless. And as her not-at-all-secret pen name Ellie Cahill, she is the author of When Joss Met Matt, Call Me Maybe, and Just a Girl (June, 2016). Liz’s books are often compared to John Hughes movies, while Ellie usually gets compared to Nora Ephron. Either way, if you like a good 80s rom-com, you’ve found the right place. When they’re not writing fun, funny romances full of shenanigans and awkward kisses, Liz and Ellie are at home with her/their family and a golden retriever with different ideas about the definition of “dog bed.” 

You’ll find Liz/Ellie in lots of social media places. On Sunday, you’ll find her parked in front of the TV getting their fill of Zombies, Westeros, The Doctor, or any other place where cute English guys fight evil.

Speed round: sweet tea, Hufflepuff, dark chocolate, cheese is the perfect food, Go Badgers, and Han shot first.

I (Sil) decided to take part for Snazzy Snippets this month! I just heard this from Alyssa @ The Devil Orders Takeout and felt it was too cute and fun. So I try to write and I really like it a lot. I'm probably going to share snippets from two WIPs because I think one of them doesn't have any kissing? I'm not so sure if any of my WIPs have kissing (LOL!) not yet, I mean. I haven't gotten that far, but if I find something I will be sure to include it.

Hello, Voyagers!!!! How's everyone doing in this fiiiiine day? I hope good and ready for some fun time with this day's guest, Dahlia Adler! She is the author of several favorite books, such as: Behind the Scenes, Under the Lights and Just Visiting. We also really like her NA books: She has released Last Will and Testament, and her next one is coming out on March 15th *cough* steamy!

But today we're going to talk about friendships and girls and the perfect mix for what makes a good friendship between girls work. We love Dahlia and she is definitely the Queen of Book Recs. We'll leave her blog link down below so you'll check all the amazing recommendations she makes.



The Book Voyagers: Why is it important to show healthy relationships (and friendships) between girls?

Dahlia Adler: My friendships with girls have gotten me through some of the hardest times and also helped me enjoy some of the best. It makes me really sad to see depictions of girls in constant competition, or of friendships that completely dissolve once a guy comes in to the picture. I think it's so important to show the ways girls can be there for each other and support each other and understand each other. And of course I think it's important to show romantic relationships between them too, because those are real and valid and don't appear in media nearly enough, especially with happy endings.

TBV: Victoria and Reagan's friendship is so special. They have this bond that clearly no one can break and we smile to see them conquer the world step by step. When you wrote them - their friendship -, what was the most important thing you wanted to show to the readers? 

DA: The number one thing I had in mind when I wrote them was that I wanted them to be real friends - not frenemies. I wanted them to genuinely want the best for each other, even when they weren't getting along. Because that depth of love and support is what matters, and it doesn't go away just because you clash every now and again.

TBV: And if there was a crossover between Behind the Scenes (Ally and Van) and Just Visiting (Victoria and Reagan) what do you think they would do together as a group in Valentine's Day?
