"Waiting On" Wednesday #15: Glass Sword by Victoria Aveyard

By -
Have you seen this cover yet?! It was just revealed yesterday. And oh yeah, I'm not ecstatic to hear that Elizabeth Banks is thinking about directing the first book in movie form. The Red Queen could turn out to be an all women-ensemble for production - director, producer and screenwriter.

Also, how is that tagline?! I love it. KNEEL OR BLEED




DETAILS:
  • Title: Glass Sword
  • Publisher: Harper Teen
  • Publishing date: February 9, 2016
  • Author(s): Victoria Aveyard
  • Series: The Red Queen #2

SUMMARY:

If there's one thing Mare Barrow knows, it's that she's different.Mare Barrow's blood is red—the color of common folk—but her Silver ability, the power to control lightning, has turned her into a weapon that the royal court tries to control.The crown calls her an impossibility, a fake, but as she makes her escape from Maven, the prince—the friend—who betrayed her, Mare uncovers something startling: She is not the only one of her kind.Pursued by Maven, now a vindictive king, Mare sets out to find and recruit other Red-and-Silver fighters to join in the struggle against her oppressors.But Mare finds herself on a deadly path, at risk of becoming exactly the kind of monster she is trying to defeat.Will she shatter under the weight of the lives that are the cost of rebellion? Or have treachery and betrayal hardened her forever?

As always thanks to Breaking the Spine for hosting.

    I love the cover! And I love that it's fairly similar to The Red Queen's cover.

    I have so many conflicting feelings! I pretty much love the cover on its own, but I think it's really similar to the first, which is kind of odd and might be confusing for people unfamiliar with the books. I'll be curious to see where this series goes, though! :)

    Great pick!

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? That's me lately, LOL!  --> An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir --> Lock & Mori by Heather Petty --> Cress by Marissa Meyer --> Attachments by Rainbow Rowell --> Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell --> Half Wild by Sally Green --> Jackaby by William Ritter --> Read Between the Lines by Jo Knowles --> The DUFF by Kody Keplinger   --> My True Love Gave to Me: Twelve Holiday Stories edited by Stephanie Perkins

#TopTenTuesday: Ten Fellow Book Nerds From Favorite Books

Thanks to the  Broke and the Bookish  for hosting. Oh the bookish characters usually are my favorite of all time! Some come from classics, others of course from more modern times. Either way, I tend to gravitate to bookish people in books just like I do in real life. What about you all? Also, I would recommend every single one of these books and their titles are links that take you to the Goodreads page so you can read their synopsis and possibly order them. Yeah? Help an author out this week if you can.  Jackaby   His library... omigosh... his library is so awesome. So is his house by the way. Also, Jackaby takes offense at his books being used as weapons even though Abigail Rook seems to only have them on hand when in desperate situations. Eleanor & Park   Okay so these two baby darlings are comic nerds, but comics count as book nerdish items. They read other things other than comics and yeah... they totally grow up to re

"Waiting On" Wednesday #13: Beastly Bones by William Ritter

Have I mentioned being a sucker for Sherlockian type stories yet? It probably didn't get brought up the numerous times I've mentioned what a fan I am of Sherlock, right? So saying it again can't hurt? I ADORED JACKABY ! Such a great homage to Sherlock and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle all in one delightfully clever supernatural mystery. From the snorts of derision Jackaby airs over that fellow who works with Scotland Yard to the absolutely necessary and all-burning desire Ms. Rook has for a little flipbook, leather bound -- their introduction and thence forth partnership makes my deerstalker printed heart go bahda-bing. They're adorable as are the entire cast surrounding them, fleshing them out into a motley-crue family of sorts that's irresistibly sweet, and unputawayable. Also, the covers are freaking amazing. Gorgeous... practically perfect in every way! So heck yes, I am waiting on Beastly Bones and wishing that Netgalley would come through for me
