Scribbles

Since a lot of people are still asking for an invite to the new blog, we have to clarify that unfortunately we have run out of invitations, meaning we cannot send any more, period.

However, we've created a Facebook group to accommodate people who missed out on invitations. You can add our facebook to request for an invite to the group.

But due to security issues [which I'm sure you're all aware of], we're going to need some sort of vouch/evidence that you are not (1) A troll or (2) Out to shut down the blog before we approve/add you to the group.

This also means only real profiles will be approved - profiles who actually look like they're being used. Fake ones will be ignored. Think of it as a VISA application ;-)

Don't worry, we won't try to worm your private information from you or/and steal your identity.

This blog will no longer be updated, since we will be moving to a new, private blog. You can request for an invite by giving us your e-mail address in the comments section under this post, or give us a shout at twitter, or you can also send us your e-mail for a request.

So don't forget to update your bookmarks and follow us at the new blog. Hope to see you all soon!

Update: Since we will hardly be checking this blog and our e-mail, requests through twitter will most likely be processed faster.

Update 7 May: Blogger only allows a maximum of 100 readers to access a private blog. We are almost up to that limit, so some late requests may not be able to be processed. We're still searching for ways to work around this limit, so if anyone knows any possible solutions, please do tell us!

Update 13 July: Invitations are closed!!! We've reached the maximum 100 members, so we're very sorry to say anyone who's requested for access but hasn't received an invitation yet means they were too late.
Our only solution is to follow us on twitter where we occasionally share ebook links and answer requests, also we'll open the new blog up for public every once in a while for a short time, which we will announce on twitter beforehand.
Hope that works.

I. The Spook's Apprentice

The Spook and his apprentice, Thomas Ward, rid the county of witches, ghosts, boggarts, and other creatures of the dark. And there's some unfinished business to attend to in Priestown. Deep in the catacombs lurks a creature the Spook has never been able to defeat; a force so evil that the whole county is in danger. The Bane!

VII. The Spook's Nightmare

Here is the sequel to Rachel Hawkin's Hex Hall.

Sophie Mercer thought she was a witch.

That was the whole reason she was sent to Hex Hall, a reform school for delinquent Prodigium (aka witches, shapeshifters, and fairies). But that was before she discovered the family secret, and that her hot crush, Archer Cross, is an agent for The Eye, a group bent on wiping Prodigium off the face of the earth.

Turns out, Sophie’s a demon, one of only two in the world—the other being her father. What’s worse, she has powers that threaten the lives of everyone she loves. Which is precisely why Sophie decides she must go to London for the Removal, a dangerous procedure that will destroy her powers.

But once Sophie arrives she makes a shocking discovery. Her new friends? They’re demons too. Meaning someone is raising them in secret with creepy plans to use their powers, and probably not for good. Meanwhile, The Eye is set on hunting Sophie down, and they’re using Archer to do it. But it’s not like she has feelings for him anymore. Does she?

Still alive folks! Although some bad news, we're a bit busy... I've a dissertation to worry about, another's got a baby coming, third has a promotion at work, etc. etc. ...so the point is we won't be able to upload anything for a while.

Second bad piece of news (gets better) the 4shared account associated with some (most) of the files may be permanently deleted due to infringement of policies yaddayaddayaddah ... and if that happens, most of the download links will also go offline.

So just in case you haven't downloaded anything you're planning to, I suggest you do it before it shuts down.

P.S. Terribly sorry for events in Japan, although very happy for Egypt and hopes the best for Libya. Whoa, world's getting f***ed up.

Here are some more off the requests list. I'm trying to work off from the bottom of the list (oldest requests first) so newer requests might not be available yet.

As I've promised, here's a dump of e-books off of the requests in the guestbook. Apologies for the quality; we haven't had time to check and clean up any of them. And since I'm uploading these in a heap, there won't be any description of the books.

Hey, it's quality vs quantity. Can't have the best of both worlds.

 

Meg Cabot - Mediator - VI. Twilight (lit)

Christmas is coming in just over a week and the request list is getting longer and longer.

So we've found links to a number of the books you've all requested. Well the good news is, I thought I'd catch up and give you an early Christmas present. The bad news is I can't upload all of them just yet (I'd like to see you try!) and since I'm going to be posting a whole bunch of them, I'm afraid it's not going to be posted in the format we usually post our e-books, and we also haven't gotten around to checking them and seeing the quality for each of the books.

The king's needs grow deeper every day he's stuck in captivity, while his control over his people gets weaker. It's made him vulnerable. And now there's a new king in town.

Here is the sequel to Peeps.
A mysterious epidemic holds the city in its thrall and the chaos is contagious black oil spews from fire hydrants, rats have taken over brooklyn, and every day, more people disappear. but all that matters to Pearl, Moz, and Zahler is their new band. They ignore the madness around them and join forces with a vampire lead singer and a drummer whose fractured mind can glimpse the coming darkness. Will their music stave off the end of the world ... or summon it?

When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder - much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing - not even a smear of blood - to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?



II. City of Ashes

Clary Fray just wishes that her life would go back to normal. But what's normal when you're a demon-slaying Shadowhunter, your mother is in a magically induced coma, and you can suddenly see Downworlders like werewolves, vampires, and faeries? If Clary left the world of the Shadowhunters behind, it would mean more time with her best friend, Simon, who's becoming more than a friend. But the Shadowhunting world isn't ready to let her go -- especially her handsome, infuriating, newfound brother, Jace. And Clary's only chance to help her mother is to track down rogue Shadowhunter Valentine, who is probably insane, certainly evil -- and also her father.

To save her mother's life, Clary must travel to the City of Glass, the ancestral home of the Shadowhunters -- never mind that entering the city without permission is against the Law, and breaking the Law could mean death. To make things worse, she learns that Jace does not want her there, and Simon has been thrown in prison by the Shadowhunters, who are deeply suspicious of a vampire who can withstand sunlight.

Fans of The Twilight Saga will be enthralled by this riveting story of Bree Tanner, a character first introduced in Eclipse, and the darker side of the newborn vampire world she inhabits. In another irresistible combination of danger, mystery, and romance, Stephenie Meyer tells the devastating story of Bree and the newborn army as they prepare to close in on Bella Swan and the Cullens, following their encounter to its unforgettable conclusion.

....at least, we hope so. I personally hope Stephenie Meyer did better here than in her previous work. Spare me the rants, I'm not going to get involved between the anti/pro Twilight. To each his own taste.

Three years ago, Sophie Mercer discovered that she was a witch. It's gotten her into a few scrapes. Her non-gifted mother has been as supportive as possible, consulting Sophie's estranged father--an elusive European warlock--only when necessary.

This is the first in new writer, Rachel Hawkin's, Hex Hall series.

Devlin wants to keep Ani safe from his sisters, knowing that if he fails, he will be the instrument of Ani's death.

Here is the fourth in Melissa Marr's Tattoo Faeries series.
