Giveaway: Shadows on the Moon by Zoe Marriott

... I don't know how it's possible but between work, events, and upcoming college stress, I'm even more busy during the summer. GAH. I was going to reserve Sundays during The Four Flavors of Summer event for IMMM/randomness/brain spew, but since I'll be helping out at a pharmaceutical conference all day today (aka 12 hours), I've just scheduled a giveaway. Hopefully no one's too disappointed... <3

What's up for grabs? An ARC of SHADOWS ON THE MOON by Zoe Marriott (UK version). You can find my review HERE. I didn't think it was breathtaking, but I really, really recommend reading it. Really.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Summary: 

Suzunne is a shadow-weaver. She can create mantles of darkness and light, walk unseen in the middle of the day, change her face. She can be anyone she wants to be. Except herself.

Suzume died officially the day the Prince's men accused her father of treason. Now even she is no longer sure of her true identity.

Is she the girl of noble birth living under the tyranny of her mother’s new husband, Lord Terayama? A lowly drudge scraping a living in the ashes of Terayama’s kitchens? Or Yue, the most beautiful courtesan in the Moonlit Lands?

Everyone knows Yue is destined to capture the heart of a prince. Only she knows that she is determined to use his power to destroy Terayama.

And nothing will stop her. Not even love.

Couldn't resist a bit of randomness. I've been following the NBC show "The Voice" from the beginning and it's finally wrapping up with the FINAL FOUR. *cue spazzing* For me, The Voice > American Idol. Check it out.

Here are some of my favorite, recent performances (skip to 1:10 or so to hear the song portion): 

(I'm not such a fan of her (I think she lacks major stage presence and personal style... please don't bash me), but I love the song and her voice.)

(JUST. SO. AWESOME.)

(This one starts from 0:00. And sorry for the poor quality; I couldn't find a better one. ):)

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND! If you still want to tell me what you got for IMM this week, go ahead. I might not have time to comment, but I promise to check it out. :)
