Some of you may have heard of a little book called Untamed City: Carnival of Secrets. Some of you may be dying to read it. Like me. I am quite possibly one of the least patient people ever when it comes to waiting for highly anticipated books. I obsess. I stare constantly at the calendar as though the weight of my glare will make the days go faster, and then stress when it turns out it's only been about 2 hours since I last looked at the calendar. I read the synopsis over and over again in the delusional hope that more information will have magically appeared since the last time I checked. That almost never happens. Today is an exception.
It's recently come to my attention that a sneak peek of Untamed City: Carnival of Secrets is now available. A SNEAK PEEK PEOPLE! You can find it HERE. If that wasn't enough, I also have 2 stills from the trailer (which will be released in full on August 14th) to share with you today:

Cannot. Wait. As always, more crazy fun things like interviews, trailers, giveaways, and quizzes can be found on HarperTeen's fantastic Epic Reads site. I recently took their Starling Quiz to see which character from the book I was most like. I clicked on the link. I answered the questions as truthfully as possible. And this is the name that came up:
CALUM ARISTARCHOS
I blinked at the name. I thought to myself "self, that sounds an awful lot like a guy's name". Probably because it is. Apparently, I'm most similar to a teenage boy. *self esteem plummets* The silver lining to my gender confusing test results was that Lesley Livingston found the whole thing endlessly amusing when I shared my answer with her on Twitter. She might have even mentioned that Cal would look great in a dress to make me feel better (though that sort of made it worse O.o). Regardless of said results, Cal and I have a date when Starling releases on August 28th, and I've told him (via Lesley) that I'll bring the dresses for us both.
Hope you all have time to take a quiz or two at Epic Reads and don't forget to grab your Carnival of Secrets Sneak Peek!
Thanks for sharing Jenny! Or should I call you Calum... ;) I'm really looking forward to Carnival of Souls too! It's been getting some great reviews already. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of legally changing my name to Calum. I think I'll pull it off spectacularly well ;-)
DeleteHa..ha..ha..HAHAHHAHAHA! CALUM!! LOL That's so funny :D Thanks so much for sharing this Jenny!! I've never read any of Melissa's books before, BUT I'm really looking forward to this :D
ReplyDeleteYes, it was a distressing test result:) I like to think my behavior and way of thinking is different from that of a teenage boy, but based on my maturity at times, I'd say it's probably pretty accurate ;-)
DeleteThose still for the trailer look amazing! Thank you for sharing them and the sneak peek. I definitely can't wait to check them out! Also I will definitely be taking that quiz too! You should totally see my diary Jenny, instead of work deadlines and schedules it has all my book releases in it! :D
ReplyDeleteYES! My calendar has all the book releases I'm looking forward to highlighted on it, as they're clearly way more important than client meetings ;-)
DeleteI haven't read anything by Melissa Marr yet, so I;m not too sure what to expect from this, but it sounds really awesome! The trailer is so cool!
ReplyDeleteI've only read the first Wicked Lovely book, and while it didn't blow me away, I'm really excited for this book!
DeleteLove their site and.. I sooo cannot wait for this trailer!! btw did you read Carnival of Souls already?? I LOOOOVED it!!! Melissa Marr is incredible!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read it yet. I can't wait to finally get to it! There are so many good books releasing soon!
DeleteI haven't read CARNIVAL OF SOULS yet--I'm teasing myself with it, holding off like it's a lovely slice of cake I don't get until after dinner. But those stills and snippet make me reconsider. Maybe it's time!
ReplyDeleteRight? I'm doing the same thing. It's taunting me from the TBR pile though!
DeleteYou're so much like me! Whenever I am desperate to read a book, I think about it all the time, writing scenes in my heard, searching the internet for teasers! Love this teaser! Can't wait for Carnival of souls to come out!!!!!! Love your reaction to being Callum! Got him too.
ReplyDeleteYES! I'm not alone with my Calum answer:) *high five*
DeleteJenny, THANK YOU! I had no idea that preview was up and I can't wait to get my hands on the novel now! Plus, the trailer stills look SO GOOD! Whyy hasn't it released yet? Anyway, thanks for alerting us! ;)

ReplyDeleteI know exactly how you feel, I'm dying for Carnival of Souls. The trailer sounds like it will be incredible. I'm not reading the sneak peak though. I can't tempt myself like that knowing there's not more. :p
ReplyDeleteOh Jenny, I love the visuals! I read and loved Carnival of Sous, so it's nice to get a picture. Hope you like it when you pick it up. :)
