PAHopkins and her wonderfully described dragon:
     Her scales start out deep dark blue at the base then lighten until they are white at the tip. Her eyes are the deepest emerald green you've ever seen. Her face is delicate yet strong. At first sight you believe she is young and innocent but upon closer inspection you realize that she has aged very well and her years of experience show through. Innocent is something she is not. Devious is more likely a word used to describe her. She is small, compact and built for speed and power.

Now, since it was so hard for us to decide, we chose a runner-up that will win some swag. And the winner of the swag is...

Burgandy Ice and her dragon:
     I know my dragon would be HUGE and male - his body would be as bog as my Suburban and the rest of him would be long and snaky. All black, glistening, reflective black and he could color change to blend in with his surroundings when he needed to, like a chameleon. Only the smoke rising from his large nostrils would still be visible. It's taken a lot of time, but I can ride him when he flies and he can wink from one place to another in an instant. We are best friends, deeply heart-connected forever, but we get into arguments frequently and he is not any sort of gentle giant... he is not a TAME dragon at all. He is very opiniated, very goal orientated and very pushy for someone who's not human. If I wasn't such a bugger of an opinionated pushy person myself, he could be called controlling, but I am what I am and I love the way he is, too. He scares the crap out of anyone who sees him - and he likes that. I kinda do too.
Swag includes:
~ a signed Sweet Venom book mark
~ a Sweet Venom sticker
~ a Slayers bookmark
~ a Slayers sticker
~ a Paranormalcy bookmark
~ a signed Paranormalcy and Supternaturally ticket
~ a signed Hunted flier
~ a Pillage bookmark
~ a Slathbog's Gold bookmark

I will send an email to the winners and I must have a response with in 48hrs or I will pick another winner. Thanks again to everyone that entered!

My apologies for the giveaway

Guys, I am soo sorry! I was completely focused on a Chemistry project all weekend and totally forgot! I'll pick the winner as soon as I can. I'll for sure have it by the end of the week. It all depends on how hectic the school week is. Sorry again guys!

Signed Eragon paperback Giveaway

I apologize for the lack of posts. I've been out of town visiting family, sick (which I currently am), busy with school, and busy with winter guard (we twirl/toss the flags, rifles, and sabers out on the football field, generally with the marching band.) So to make it up to you guys, I'm going to do another giveaway, a giveaway for a book I'm sure you've all heard of. Eragon signed by the wonderful Christopher Paolini.

Since this is a more known book, I'm going to make the entries a little more exciting. So, in order to enter into this giveaway, you must post a comment either describing what your dragon would look like or you can post a comment with a link to a drawing of your dragon. If you absolutely can not post a comment with a link or a description, then you can email your entry to gigglzha@gmail.com but you must have "signed Eragon giveaway entry" in the subject line, or I will not open the email.
When posting your comment, please add in something so I can identify you if you win. You do not have to post your name, just something to identify you.


Rules:

• The work must be your own.
• The dragon can not be a dragon already from the series, you must create a new dragon.
• Your entry needs to be PG-13 rated, I don't want total gore or any porn (or anything of that nature.)
• Only one entry per person.

The contest will end Friday, February 24th at 8:00 pm MST!
I will post the winner on Sunday, February 26th.

Sorry guys, I forgot to add that this is US only! Sorry for any inconvience.

There are no other requirements in order to enter the contest. Thank you for entering and feel free to ask any questions.

Forbidden Review

I'm going to try out a new grading scale and 'Forbidden' is my "lab rat". I hope this works. If you guys could comment and tell me if it's confusing and what I can do to make it less confusing, that would help loads! Gracias!
Okay, I've split the grading into 6 different categories, Romance, Characters, Storyline, Action, Swearing, and Cleanliness (which is split into two smaller categories, Drinking/Drugs and Sexual Content.) Every category gets a total of 100 possible points (Drinking/Drugs and Sexual Content have 50 possible points) The first four categories are graded on how good I think they are throughout the book. The last two are graded on how little there is. So, if there is a lot of swearing in the book, it will get a lower score than a book with little/no swearing. I then add up all of the categories scores and divide it by 600. (Ex: category scores sum=520. 520/600= 0.866  move decimal two places to the right and round= 87.)
A+) 100-90

A) 89-80

A-) 79-70

B+) 69-60

B) 59-50

B-) 49-40

C+) 39-30

C) 29-20

C-) 19-10

F) 10-0

So the book would get an overall 'A'. Make sense?

Okay, so Forbidden's scores are:

Romance- A 89

Characters- A- 79

Storyline- A 87

Action- A+ 100

Swearing- A- 78

Cleanliness- A+ 100

Drinking/Drugs- A+ 100

Sexual Content- A+ 100

Overall score: A

Levi's job is to protect his human until it's their time to go. That's what a Guard does. He's done it for years on end, and he'll spend his eternity doing the same, mundane thing, following the same, mundane rules.

...Watch from afar.
...Never share your name.
...And above all, never touch a human.

What Levi doesn't know is that his newest human to protect, Hannah, just might be the catalyst to tipping the scales between good and evil, and he will be forced to decide which side he belongs to. Which friends will he side with, and who will he ultimately protect: his human, or the delicate balance that hangs on stopping the heartbeat of the person he has sworn to protect?

And, when you're already condemned, what's there to lose by breaking the rules?

THE GUARDIAN CHRONICLES: FORBIDDEN will take you into a world of Guards and Guardians, Light and Darkness. What side will you take? (Review from Goodreads)

The first book I read by Megan Curd was Bridger and I loved it from the beginning. So when I was offered the opportunity to read and review Forbidden, I jumped at it right away. I was given the same results as Bridger, I loved it from beginning to end. It was action-packed, had a wonderful romance, and was a good, clean book. Forbidden definitely deserves the 'A'. (Check out my review of Bridger here)

You should all know me by now, and therefore should know that I always talk about romance first. This was a classic forbidden romance. (That was not intended.) Their relationship definitely wasn't perfect, Hannah had some trust issues with Levi when she learned a little about his past, but it was quickly resolved. This was a great, classic romance that you just can't help to love.

I do have to thank Megan for writing a clean book. If you noticed, the book scored all 'A's' in Swearing and Cleanliness, which I've discovered is really hard to do. It's just realy hard to find clean books that are interesting these days and those authors that write them should be recognized and thanked (over and over and over again.)

I don't have much else I can say to convince you of how amazing this book is besides, read it yourself to see just how awesome it is.
