"Waiting On" Wednesday #14: Silver in the Blood by Jessica Day George

By -

I am a sucker for Romanian lore. While I do not come from a family of travelers, I moved 22 times before the age of 16 and many times people would ask if we were. From there, I just grew to love the myths and stories from this culture. So yeah... SILVER IN THE BLOOD combines that culture with the supernatural. It's going to be sooooo good!

Thank heavens, I do not have to wait much longer. So looking forward to reading this book. Doesn't it look amazing?! Such a beautiful cover. Seriously, all you book cover designers out there deserve mucho luv!



DETAILS:
  • Title: Silver in the Blood
  • Publisher: Bloomsbury USA Children's
  • Publishing date: July 7, 2015
  • Author(s): Jessica Day George
  • Series: Silver in the Blood #1

SUMMARY: 

A New York Times bestselling author brings dark secrets to life in a lush new YA perfect for fans of Libba Bray or Cassandra Clare.

Society girls from New York City circa 1890, Dacia and Lou never desired to know more about their lineage, instead preferring to gossip about the mysterious Romanian family that they barely knew. But upon turning seventeen, the girls must return to their homeland to meet their relatives, find proper husbands, and—most terrifyingly—learn the deep family secrets of The Claw, The Wing, and The Smoke. The Florescus, after all, are shape-shifters, and it is time for Dacia and Lou to fulfill the prophecy that demands their acceptance of this fate . . . or fight against this cruel inheritance with all their might.
With a gorgeous Romanian setting, stunning Parisian gowns, and dark brooding young men, readers will be swept up by this epic adventure of two girls in a battle for their lives.  

As always thanks to Breaking the Spine for hosting.

    Ooh, this sounds so good! I'm always interested in books based on lore or mythology and I haven't read any Romanian lore so this sounds like one for me :) Thanks for stopping by!

    I have been pretty excited for this one too, although I keep seeing less than stellar reviews. There is a read-a-long scheduled for this book starting on the tenth if your interested. I am planning on participating myself.

      Oh! I will have to check it out. Where is the read-a-long scheduled? I might join in though I have a tendency to read something straight through if I can.

      Oh good to hear! So many people are not interested I guess because there's mixed reviews surrounding the book. Thank you for stopping by!

Thanks to the  Broke and the Bookish  for hosting. If you follow me on Goodreads, you'll know I'm about 21 books behind my goal of reading 100 books this year. No pressure! None, right? Anyone else panic when they log onto Goodreads or feel awfully proud when they're going on to write a review?

Thanks to the  Broke and the Bookish  for hosting. So I am pretty pleased with this list. Unsurprising is how many of these authors are series creators. Really, yeah... I have a tendency to read all the books in a series whether I like the later books or not. OCD bookish tendencies, uhm... yeah.  Per usual, I shall link to the Goodreads pages of these authors in hopes of you finding someone you end up loving and supporting by either requesting a copy for your library or purchasing a copy for yourself. J. K. Rowling Of course, I have read all seven of the Harry Potter novels, the Fantastic Beasts and Quidditch Through the Ages, The Beedle Bard stories and Very Good Lives. Also, I read Casual Vacancy and own both the Robert Galbraith novels to date. Julia Quinn I have read every single book Julia Quinn has written. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. There's not a book out she's written that I have not read. I adore he

'Waiting On' Wednesday #18: The Shadow Queen by C. J. Redwine

Ever since this cover debuted, I have been waiting for a chance to make it my WoW choice. Isn't it gorgeous. So much love for this cover. Also, C. J. Redwine is delightfully real in real life despite having an awesomely fictional literary-perfect pen name. She also is such a fannish person that it's hard for me not to want to fan over her. She's a true asset to YA in all that she does and writes and social networks.  Seriously, look her up and then go buy her books, okay? Okay.  DETAILS: Title:  The Shadow Queen Publisher:  Balzer + Bray Publishing date:  February 23, 2016 Author(s):  C. J. Redwine Series:  Ravenspire #1 SUMMARY: Lorelai Diederich, crown princess and fugitive at large, has one mission: kill the wicked queen who took both the Ravenspire throne and the life of her father. To do that, Lorelai needs to use the one weapon she and Queen Irina have in common—magic. She’ll have to be stronger, fast
