Blog Tour: The Love That Split the World

Welcome, everyone, to my stop on the blog tour for Emily Henry's utterly breathtaking debut novel, The Love That Split the World. Today, I've got a guest post from Emily, and she'll be sharing 25 Random Things about herself. But before we get to that, let's get acquainted with her debut novel.

Title: The Love That Split the World

Author: Emily Henry

Publisher: Razorbill

Publication Date: January 26, 2016

 Natalie Cleary must risk her future and leap blindly into a vast unknown for the chance to build a new world with the boy she loves.

Natalie’s last summer in her small Kentucky hometown is off to a magical start... until she starts seeing the “wrong things.” They’re just momentary glimpses at first—her front door is red instead of its usual green, there’s a pre-school where the garden store should be. But then her whole town disappears for hours, fading away into rolling hills and grazing buffalo, and Nat knows something isn’t right.

That’s when she gets a visit from the kind but mysterious apparition she calls “Grandmother,” who tells her: “You have three months to save him.” The next night, under the stadium lights of the high school football field, she meets a beautiful boy named Beau, and it’s as if time just stops and nothing exists. Nothing, except Natalie and Beau.

Emily Henry’s stunning debut novel is Friday Night Lights meets The Time Traveler’s Wife, and perfectly captures those bittersweet months after high school, when we dream not only of the future, but of all the roads and paths we’ve left untaken.

Soundtrack Saturday (36)

 

Soundtrack Saturday is a weekly feature that I started to share playlists with my readers. As I'm reading books, I usually think of songs that go along with the plot and characters. Because of this (and a few assignment ideas), Soundtrack Saturday was born!

I'm inviting all book bloggers to participate in this meme! Each week, I'll be posting a linky at the bottom of my post so that you can share your Soundtrack Saturday playlist for other bloggers and blog readers to find.

As with all bookish memes, there are a few easy steps to follow to help you create your own perfect Soundtrack Saturday post:

• Choose a book that you've read or are currently reading - any book is fine!
• Create a mini (four songs) or full soundtrack (ten-fifteen + songs) for that book based on characters and plot details
• For more detailed instructions, please visit the meme's homepage.
• Please credit me somewhere in your post. It can be as simple as "Soundtrack Saturday is a weekly meme that was created by Erin at The Hardcover Lover."
• Leave a comment on my blog post if you enjoy the feature
• Add your name to the link-up tool at the bottom of the post

2016 Debut Author Challenge: My Goals

Hey, everyone! I realize that I haven't filled you in on some of my upcoming blogging plans, so I'm going to fix that right now.

I know we still have about a month left in 2015, but I'm already looking forward to 2016. I know, I know... There's still the holidays and New Year's Eve, but I'm excited, okay? It's not wrong? And if it is, well then I don't want to be right.

More specifically, I'm looking forward to reading some of the 2016 Middle Grade and YA debuts! That excitement is the reason for today's post. Once again, I'll be taking part in the Debut Author Challenge.

Over the past eleven months, I've been a pretty active participant in The 2015 Debut Author Challenge, which was hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. Although I didn't get to read as many debuts as I'd have liked to, I did read quite a few of them. Heck, I even won the giveaway for January's link up!

Now I'm really, really hoping to read a lot more of the 2016 debuts, and I already have my hands on a few that I'm waiting until January 1 to start so they count for the challenge. Shhh! That's totally not cheating.

Waiting on Wednesday (39)

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly, bookish meme created and hosted by Jill. You can find out more information on her blog, Breaking the Spine.

The meme helps book bloggers and readers shine a spotlight om some of the many upcoming releases that we are all patiently (but most likely impatiently) waiting on. Get it?

It's pretty simple to participate in Waiting on Wednesday:

• Create your own Waiting on Wednesday post that features an upcoming title (or titles)
• Be sure to credit Jill in your post
• Link up to the Linky on Jill's blog
