The book is showcasing in the YA Scavenger Hunt this season is her very first novel
They Call Me Alexandra Gastone
Blurb: Alexandra Gastone has a simple plan: graduate high school, get into Princeton, work for the CIA, and serve her great nation. She was told the plan back when her name was Milena Rokva, back before the real Alexandra and her family were killed in a car crash.
Milena was trained to be a sleeper agent by Perun, a clandestine organization from her true homeland of Olissa. There, Milena learned everything she needed to infiltrate the life of CIA analyst Albert Gastone, Alexandra’s grandfather, and the ranks of America’s top intelligence agency. For seven years, “Alexandra” has been on standby and life’s been good. Grandpa Albert loves her, and her strategically chosen boyfriend, Grant, is amazing. But things are about to change. Perun no longer needs her at the CIA in five years’ time. They need her active now.
Between her cover as a high school girl—juggling a homecoming dance, history reports, and an increasingly suspicious boyfriend—and her mission in this high-stakes spy game, the boundaries of her two lives are beginning to blur.
Will she stay true to the country she barely remembers, or has her loyalty shattered along with her identity?
Wow! How much do you love that cover, people? And the blurb makes me want to read it even more! I’d give away >> 22 << birthday wishes to have it in my hands right now!!! Did you see what I did there? With the number >> 22 <<?

The next book I will be reading is Fairy Tail because a friend lent it to me and since she agreed to read Tokyo Ghoul it’s only fair that I read her recommendation (I’m not really psyched about it but I’ve heard it’s good). Anyway, the next book I want to read is, honestly, either the Artisan or Queen of Shadows (which ever I can get my hands on first–pick me! Pick me, Kitty!).

This is a hard question. I’m very spontaneous when choosing books. I have been on a gothic horror and graphic novel kick. The last book I read I literally chose because it was beside me haha. Umm… It will probably be a graphic novel…. maybe Black Science?
Thanks for the giveaway.

I have been kitty free for about 5 years after my 16 year old George died. We are getting a new kitty later this month when she is ready. Thanks to my 1st pregnancy I will also be getting an allergy medicine so I can get her. So worth it!
