From Goodreads:
Allyson Healey's life is exactly like her suitcase—packed, planned, ordered. Then on the last day of her three-week post-graduation European tour, she meets Willem. A free-spirited, roving actor, Willem is everything she’s not, and when he invites her to abandon her plans and come to Paris with him, Allyson says yes. This uncharacteristic decision leads to a day of risk and romance, liberation and intimacy: 24 hours that will transform Allyson’s life.

A book about love, heartbreak, travel, identity, and the "accidents” of fate, Just One Day shows us how sometimes in order to get found, you first have to get lost. . . and how often the people we are seeking are much closer than we know.
  The first in a sweepingly romantic duet of novels. Willem’s story—Just One Year—is coming soon!

Let's start out with a tweet I wrote a few minutes after I finished reading and collected my jaw from where it had fallen to the floor.

Book BF & GIVEAWAY

Blog Tour Stop
Readers Live A Thousand Lives, Lovin Los Libros, and Starbucks & Books Obsession are hosting this fun event for the month of December.  Each day a blogger gets to celebrate their favorite book boyfriend.  

Blogging has helped me accumulate more boyfriends than Taylor Swift.  Unfortunately, all these boyfriends are characters in books, but we'll discuss that at another time. 

Right now I wanna talk about my favorite boy in YA fiction
(besides Aiden St. Delphi of course).  He is...

       
GIVEAWAY
Even though I don't live in a state that allows polygamy I'll still share Daemon with you guys.  What can I say?  I'm generous.  I know.  If you win the giveaway I'll send you whichever book from the Lux series you haven't read yet so you can get your Daemon fix.

Best YA book 2013

2. Book You Were Excited About & Thought You Were Going To Love More But Didn’t?

    
I love the covers of these, but the content wasn't what I expected at all.

 3. Most surprising (in a good way!) book of 2013? 

I only read Golden because it was chosen for my book club's book of the month, but I am sooooo glad I did.  I ended up adoring this book and I was pleasantly surprised by that.

 4. Book you read in 2013 that you recommended to people most in 2013?

I know everyone talks about The Fault in our Stars, but I seriously can't recommend it enough.  It helped me through hard times and it's very powerful.  Everyone should experience it once.

 5. Best series you discovered in 2013?

I started the Grisha series this year and WOW you guys.  It was my first real Fantasy book and holy moly I'm glad I picked that one to start with.  AMAZING.

 6. Favorite new author you discovered in 2013?

I'm obssessed with Sarah J. Maas after reading Throne of Glass this year.
