Hello, my lovelies and welcome back! The time has – unfortunately – come. As of tomorrow morning (after a two-month summer holiday) I’m going back to university. I’m sort of in two minds about whether I should be glad or dreading it: it’s my very last year and the fact that I graduate next summer is fantastic. On the other hand, it’ll be a tremendous amount of work.

I’ve at least 6 exams to take, classes and lectures to attend, lots of research papers and two theses to hand in in the next couple of months, which means that my free time will be limited. The reason why I’m telling you all this is because it means there will be some changes here on Books, Biscuits, and Tea. Don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere! I’ll keep blogging but I’ll be less active than I was a few months ago.

I’m not taking part in weekly memes (with the exception of Showcase Sunday, of course) for the time being because I don’t know how much time I’d have for commenting back and properly visiting other participants’ blogs the day my post goes live. I’ll keep posting reviews and discussion posts, though, and I’m taking part in Bloggiesta, and I have a blogoversary celebration and some blog tour posts planned for the following weeks.

I’m setting aside half an hour or an hour each day for visiting your blogs, and replying to your emails and comments so I will be here. I just wanted to let you know that if I don’t comment back right away it’s not because I don’t care but because I’m busy.

Big hugs to all of you and happy reading!

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! I have some veeeeeeery exciting news for you today! Emlyn Chand, author of Farsighted and president of Novel Publicity, revealed the cover of her second book the other day which looks absolutely stunning. Open Heart is the second book in the series and it is coming out in May 2012. If you haven’t read Farsighted (the first book in the series) yet then I would definitely recommend that you do so. And now for the exciting stuff. Would you like to see the brand new cover for book #2? *drumroll*

Simmi Shergill’s life is a mess. Her powers of psychic feeling are on the fritz, and Grandon Township’s sudden population boom has brought quite a few unsavory characters to town. She also looks like an over-blown balloon in her size 14 pants, but not even starving herself seems to be working as a diet plan.  Well, at least her boyfriend, Alex, loves her so much he’d do anything for her. Last summer he even risked his life to protect her from the mysterious boy everyone was convinced wanted to kill her.

The problem is, she’s not so sure she feels the same way. Is Alex really the man of her dreams? And why can’t she stop fixating on her would-be killer, Dax? Whenever he’s around, part of her wants to run screaming in the other direction while the other part longs to run into his embrace, no matter who she’d hurt or what she’d risk.

Simmi’s loyalty is on the line. Who will she choose—the blind seer who loves her, or the charming telekinetic with “bad idea” written all over him? Emotions run high as the tension mounts in book two of the Farsighted series.

Seriously, isn’t it gorgeous??? I love this shattered glass kinda effect on the right and the green/blue-ish colours! What do you think? Are you looking forward to reading Open Heart? Then here’s some fun stuff for you guys: feel free to grab the countdown widget for your blog or flick through  the official Open Heart playlist!
