Anna and the French Kiss (Anna and the French Kiss #1) by Stephanie Perkins

Can Anna find love in the City of Light?
Anna is happy in Atlanta. She has a loyal best friend and a crush on her coworker at the movie theater, who is just starting to return her affection. So she's less than thrilled when her father decides to send her to a boarding school in Paris for her senior year.
But despite not speaking a word of French, Anna meets some cool new people, including the handsome Étienne St. Clair, who quickly becomes her best friend. Unfortunately, he's taken —and Anna might be, too. Will a year of romantic near misses end with the French kiss she's waiting for?

I am so grateful to have read this book! It's still a favourite of mine to this day. I still adore Anna and Etienne and their relationship makes me super jealous. I don't even want  a relationship but when I read about these two I can't help but want a British boy from America in France!

I also love this book because it helped me decide whether I wanted to travel or not. I have always  wanted to travel but I didn't know how I could or if I could do it alone. After reading this book I was so inspired and I knew France was my first choice to visit. So I began researching and finally, after a couple of days of stressing out because travelling is so so so  expensive if you don't want to live out of a backpack, I found an amazing alternative! Au Pairing. I am currently in the process of finding a host family in France or Italy. I really want to go to America but I thought, for a first experience, somewhere in Europe would be much easier considering I'm from England. What if I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would? I would have spent all of that time and money on a visa application etc etc. SO, if I enjoy France and Italy I'll keep on going to new places each time :)

THAT is why I am grateful for this book. Just look how powerful they can be! Because of this book I am on my way to doing something I just know I'll love and something that will give me mountains of experience that I'll remember forever. Books are great like that.

If anyone would like to talk to me about au pairing then please don't hesitate to email me (enchantedrosebooks@hotmail.com) I have gained a lot of insight into this kind of experience and I remember being very confused about the idea at first. If any of you are looking for a way to travel without the high expenses then this really is an ideal way and a fun one!

Happy Birthday Week to The Page Girls!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WEEK, THE PAGE GIRLS! 

Before we get into the wonderful things they have planned for the next five days I just wanted to thank Cecily from The Page Girls for asking me to help her celebrate this event. I've been speaking to her on Twitter and through email, fangirling about books and just generally chatting. She also answered any questions I had about this (which were many) with the patience of a saint. So, without further ado... Let's help The Page Girls celebrate!

Who are The Page Girls?

I'm sure many of you know of this page and all it's fabulousness but for those who haven't had the pleasure; The Page Girls (www.thepagegirls.com) is a new online mag with an emphasis on books, cocktails, and female friendships. Each week, they publish a themed issue containing short stories, book reviews, personal and funny essays, videos, cocktail recipes, and more. Some sample issues include The Craziest Thing I Did For Love and LYLAS (Love You Like a Sister).

Sign up for The Page Girls’ weekly newsletter to get notified about new issues, and be sure to follow them on Twitter and Facebook.

From July 21-25, The Page Girls is celebrating its first official “birthday week,” which means a giveaway every day plus other goodies. 

Sounds awesome, right?!

So, let's kick off the week with a giveaway! Remember; the more entries you have the more chance you have of winning some of those awesome prizes. 

Rules

• Do not cheat. I will be checking all of the entries!
• Please check you're sending the right information, it would suck if you won and I didn't have the right information to contact you.
• Void where prohibited by law.
• This giveaway is both international and US only. (Read below!)

The Page Girls have kindly given me 1 eBook copy of Normal is the Watchword and two sets of their very own personalised coasters which look great! The eBook is the first prize and an international giveaway: 

There are days that you can't believe, and then there days that are unbelievable.

Juniper has been on the edge of social circles all her life, skirting the line between being a normal teenage girl and an all-too-aware young adult. Always armed with a camera, Juni expresses herself through her photos, with her current favorite subjects being Carrie, her best friend, and Darius, a mysteriously charming boy on the soccer team.

When she accidentally stumbles across something that wasn't meant to be photographed, her once somewhat normal life is suddenly ripped from her. Now, fitting in with the crowd is a matter of survival.

And when Carrie goes missing, Juni turns to Darius for help. But as they grow closer, a bigger mystery starts to unfold - one involving conspiracy, the paranormal, and an impending war for the souls of everyone she knows.

And the sets of coasters will be given to 2 runner ups but these are only for US residents.

Thank you for reading and good luck!:)

GIVEAWAY: Just Couldn't Put It Down Giveaway Hop

Hey lovelies! The wonderful stuckinbooks created this Blog Hop.

I have read quite a few good books this year that I couldn't put down, but I'm giving away my absolute favourite.

This giveaway is INTERNATIONAL, woo! Remember that the more entries you have, the better chance you'll win! Oh and I don't choose, Rafflecopter does this by random so if you wanna win; complete all the entries!

Lux: Beginnings

This is the book I have chosen to give away. I read the first two books in the Lux series in barely a week and I loved every tension-filled moment of them. Lux: Beginnings has both Obsidian and Onyx (#1 and #2). I haven't actually got this version myself but I thought I'd give someone the chance to own it, discover the wonderful, original story AND there is some bonus material!

Obsidian

Starting over sucks.

When we moved to West Virginia right before my senior year, I'd pretty much resigned myself to thick accents, dodgy internet access, and a whole lot of boring... until I spotted my hot neighbor, with his looming height and eerie green eyes. Things were looking up.

And then he opened his mouth.

Daemon is infuriating. Arrogant. Stab-worthy. We do not get along. At all. But when a stranger attacks me and Daemon literally freezes time with a wave of his hand, well, something... unexpected happens. 

The hot alien living next door marks me.

You heard me. Alien. Turns out Daemon and his sister have a galaxy of enemies wanting to steal their abilities, and Daemon's touch has me lit up like the Vegas Strip. The only way I'm getting out of this alive is by sticking close to Daemon until my alien mojo fades. 

If I don't kill him first, that is.

Onyx

Being connected to Daemon Black sucks…

Thanks to his alien mojo, Daemon’s determined to prove what he feels for me is more than a product of our bizarro connection. So I’ve sworn him off, even though he’s running more hot than cold these days. But we’ve got bigger problems.

Something worse than the Arum has come to town…

The Department of Defense are here. If they ever find out what Daemon can do and that we're linked, I’m a goner. So is he. And there's this new boy in school who’s got a secret of his own. He knows what’s happened to me and he can help, but to do so, I have to lie to Daemon and stay away from him. Like that's possible. Against all common sense, I'm falling for Daemon. Hard.

But then everything changes…

I’ve seen someone who shouldn’t be alive. And I have to tell Daemon, even though I know he’s never going to stop searching until he gets the truth. What happened to his brother? Who betrayed him? And what does the DOD want from them—from me?

No one is who they seem. And not everyone will survive the lies…

RULES!

• Make sure Book Depository ships FREE to wherever you live.
• Please do not cheat - I will be verifying all of the entries
• The winner will have 48 hours to respond via email to accept the prize or someone new will be chosen.

So... What're you waiting for?:D
