Interview with Aprilynne Pike, author of GLITTER - SST -

October 9, 2016
The Sunday Street Team aims to help authors promote their book. Every month, new authors are chosen and bloggers from across the interweb team up to help authors get the word out regarding their story. For more information, visit Nori's blog!



Hi cupcakes!
Today, I have the lovely Aprilynne Pike on the blog with me to answer some questions about her upcoming book GLITTER! 


Title: Glitter
Author: Aprilynne Pike
Publisher: Random House
Release date: October 25th
Add it on Goodreads

Outside the palace of Versailles, it’s modern day. Inside, the people dress, eat, and act like it’s the eighteenth century—with the added bonus of technology to make court life lavish, privileged, and frivolous. The palace has every indulgence, but for one pretty young thing, it’s about to become a very beautiful prison.

When Danica witnesses an act of murder by the young king, her mother makes a cruel power play . . . blackmailing the king into making Dani his queen. When she turns eighteen, Dani will marry the most ruthless and dangerous man of the court. She has six months to escape her terrifying destiny. Six months to raise enough money to disappear into the real world beyond the palace gates.


Her ticket out? Glitter. A drug so powerful that a tiny pinch mixed into a pot of rouge or lip gloss can make the wearer hopelessly addicted. Addicted to a drug Dani can sell for more money than she ever dreamed.


But in Versailles, secrets are impossible to keep. And the most dangerous secret—falling for a drug dealer outside the palace walls—is one risk she has to take.




Now on to the interview, shall we?

Pass me the remote so we can rewind a bit -one year blogiversary!-

July 6, 2016


Sophie Bergeron created her blog Sailing Through Books on July 6th 2015.

Hello cupcakes!

Today is a very exciting day because it is my little blog's anniversary! Yep, you read that right, Sailing Through Books is now one! Not gonna lie guys, it doesn't register that I started blogging a year ago. To be frank, I feel like I started last week and at the same time, like it's been five years!

When I First Saw You #25

June 9, 2016


What is When I First Saw You?

When I First Saw You, or WIFSY for short, is a monthly meme here on Sailing Through Books that consists of sharing a first impressions of a book in the form of a synopsis, so basically judging a book by it's cover yes. Though I started this meme alone, I now have the lovely Izel, from A Bookish Flower, as my partner in crime.


How does it work?

Every month, a set of four (4) covers is chosen. The goal is to write a synopsis for the book that inspires you the most with the cover and title as your only guide. Then, you compare it to the real synopsis and laugh at how off you were or congratulate yourself on your amazing deduction skills!
WIFSY happens on the second Thursday of each month and there is a link-up in every post for you to share your made-up synopsis.


Did you know that a baby spider is called a spiderling?

Here's my pick for this month!

What is When I First Saw You?

When I First Saw You, or WIFSY for short, is a weekly meme created here on Sailing Through Books and co-hosted by Izel from A Bookish Flower and yours truly. It consists of sharing a first impressions of a book in the form of a made-up synopsis, so basically judging a book by it's cover yes. 

How does it work?

Every week, a new cover is chosen and is shared here at the bottom of the page. You write a synopsis for this book with the cover and title as your only guide. Then, you compare it to the real synopsis and laugh at how off you were or congratulate yourself on your amazing deduction skills!
You are free to post any day of the week, but the weekly WIFSY post will be up every Thursday with a link up so you can share your take on the week's cover.

We just reached the double digits guys! WIFSY has been going on for 20 weeks now! How crazy is that? This would be a good time to thank each and every single one of you who read or participated in WIFSY! I have so much fun with this meme and the only thing I hope is that you do too!
Also, I know it's been another week without any new post and I'm sorry. That's all I can say to you guys; I'm sorry. Please bear with me!

Now, please enjoy this week's cover! (I know this book has been out for a few days now, but wat can I say, we all make mistakes sometimes; Izel and I thought it was coming out later this year!)
