More so all the time.<br /><br />Well, she doesn't move about by season, exactly. It's sort of complicated to explain. She doesn't have summer, though. She doesn't know why either, but she wants to go to there!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-64777131061174027082013-02-23T13:02:59.060-05:002013-02-23T13:02:59.060-05:00It really is SO hard to find good self pubbed and ...It really is SO hard to find good self pubbed and the initial turnoff is typically the covers. But I totally didn't realize this was self pubbed until I started reading your review. I'm so glad the writing and editing aligned because now I def want to check this one out! ALIENS AND MIND CONTROL. Sounds like fun!<br /><br />I so appreciate you spotlighting books I would have otherwise heard of!Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08905075906530067471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-84506727153245177692013-02-22T22:34:34.669-05:002013-02-22T22:34:34.669-05:00I just checked and I DO have this on my kindle...y...I just checked and I DO have this on my kindle...yay!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11567674171127124157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-26313355476499489062013-02-22T21:17:18.629-05:002013-02-22T21:17:18.629-05:00I wanted to read this series, solely because the c...I wanted to read this series, solely because the covers go together so well.

They're hardly ever on par with books that have been through the ringer of traditional publishing. I'm very close to writing them off completely.<br /><br />This sounds pretty interesting, though. I'm not a big sci-fi reader, so I haven't read about aliens at all, really. I kind of want to know more about the seasons/families changing, and also, where does she go in the summer? So many questions! *adds to tbr*Bekkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17940606116740260845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-24730515006585882262013-02-22T16:19:30.975-05:002013-02-22T16:19:30.975-05:00I don't read blurbs either.

The editing alone makes a big difference. I'm not completely opposed to reading self-pubs, but I like to see a lot of good reviews coming back first, and I want to know the author won't find me and harrangue me if I don't like it. Besides, they're generally less accessible, what with not being available from the library.<br /><br />As much as I'm about character connection, I feel like I don't really connect that often. :/Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-58544041329273357792013-02-22T16:17:02.457-05:002013-02-22T16:17:02.457-05:00This is dystopia?

I've almost completely given up on them lately. Very few, in my opinion, are actually on level with something I could pick up in the bookstore, so I'm more likely to dismiss them. And of the various flavors of dystopian, aliens are one of my favorite and the kind I tend to have relatively good success with. It's always bad when a reviewer says they can't connect with characters, though.
