Besides crying about my shitty life, I also came here to let you know that this weeking I'm going to be participating on GOT BOOKS?. So be sure to come by and say hello, and of course participating on a giveaway! yay! :)

At first I wasn't so sure about book trailers. But lately, they are amazing. That's why I have decided to show you every week one book trailer I think it's great. This time is the book trailer of Halo by Alexandra Adornetto. Three angels are sent down to bring good to the world: Gabriel, the warrior; Ivy, the healer; and Bethany, a teenage girl who is the least experienced of the trio. But she is the most human, and when she is romantically drawn to a mortal boy, the angels fear she will not be strong enough to save anyone—especially herself—from the Dark Forces. Is love a great enough power against evil? What do you think? I have seen this book tons of times but I didn't pay it attention except for the beautiful cover. But now I really want to read it, because for the first time the angel isn't the boy, but the girl.

All three share a distinctive birthmark in the shape of an M and, fittingly call themselves the Misfits. They set out to learn what really happened to Ricky, only to realize that they aren't the only ones with mysteri...
