What I'm Reading
Lately, I've been reading a lot of young adult fiction. They tend to have decent story lines and are easy reads.
I've been reading the Infernal Devices Series by Cassandra Clare. This series includes Clockwork Angel, Clockwork Prince, and Clockwork Princess. They are the prequel to the Mortal Instruments series.
Story synopsis from Amazon.com:
"In a time when Shadowhunters are barely winning the fight against the forces of darkness, one battle will change the course of history forever. Welcome to the Infernal Devices trilogy, a stunning and dangerous prequel to the New York Times bestselling Mortal Instruments series.
The year is 1878. Tessa Gray descends into London’s dark supernatural underworld in search of her missing brother. She soon discovers that her only allies are the demon-slaying Shadowhunters—including Will and Jem, the mysterious boys she is attracted to. Soon they find themselves up against the Pandemonium Club, a secret organization of vampires, demons, warlocks, and humans. Equipped with a magical army of unstoppable clockwork creatures, the Club is out to rule the British Empire, and only Tessa and her allies can stop them...."

Awesome Website Find- Free E-Books
If you're keeping up with technology and also love books, chances are you have some kind of e-reader or tablet to expand your book collection. While one of the biggest e-reader sellers, the Amazon Kindle does have a major character flaw: basically, you can pretty much only get books through Amazon. This means that all those awesome libraries that are offering free e-book check outs (basically like checking out a library book, but you can often do it online and download it right to your e-reader) are useless to those of us that have a Kindle, including me.
On the upside, a lot of authors make some of their books free for a limited time on Amazon. Usually they do this for the first book or two of a series, and usually it is to help get a new author's name out to the public. But if you're like me and you just kind of like to read anything and everything, then it doesn't really matter. Unfortunately, it takes a lot of time to sort through the thousands of Kindle books to find the free ones, and they are constantly changing. Well, one person made it his mission to do the dirty work for the rest of us. He created One Hundred Free Books, a blog that is updated several times a day with free books on Amazon.
So go check it out!

Summer Lip Colors
Spring and summer are the perfect time to try a bold, bright, and fun lip color. Whether bright for at the beach, or something a bit more subtle for a friends wedding, experimenting with your lip color can change your whole look!
Classic red is always a great look, but why not try something different? I'm loving the fabulous coral lip color this summer. Paired with a bit of aqua eyeliner makes even more of a statement, but you can also do more neutral tones on the rest of your face for a more conservative look.
