"Waiting On" Wednesday #11: Stars Above by Marissa Meyer

By -

More Lunar Chronicles could not come at a better time! The end is nigh people and hearing that Marissa Meyer is going to do her best to expand upon the universe even if it means only the addition of shorts in an anthology featuring already been published short stories elsewhere, I still am beyond pleased. As one of the many who read her extras on wattpad, knowing I can finally have them all plus new words in a compilation, a physical book... isn't that brilliant news?! Who's hurrahing with me?!

DETAILS:
  • Title: Stars Above
  • Publisher: Feiwel & Friends
  • Publishing date: February 2, 2016
  • Author(s): Marissa Meyer
  • Series: The Lunar Chronicles





A Lunar Chronicles Collection titled STARS ABOVE includes:
  • Glitches: A prequel to Cinder, detailing Cinder’s first weeks after her cyborg surgery and her introduction to her new stepfamily.
  • The Queen’s Army: A prequel to Scarlet, telling the story of one soldier in Levana’s army who is determined not to become the monster everyone expects him to be.
  • Carswell’s Guide to Being Lucky: A prequel to Cress, expanding on some of Carswell Thorne’s exploits when he was a young man with big dreams.
  • The Princess and the Guard: A never-before-released prequel to Winter, chronicling the friendship between Winter and Jacin and answering some frequently asked questions about Winter, her insanity, and her scars.
  • The Little Android: Retelling of Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Little Mermaid,” in which an android falls in love with a human boy.
  • BRAND NEW as-yet-to-be-determined story!
    SNEAK PEEK of Marissa's first non-TLC novel, Heartless
    POSSIBLE GLIMPSE of super-secret project
Now there's good news and bad news along with this announcement for fans though. First off... good news, right? No panicking because initially I feared that the release of Winter might be delayed with all this talk of new words. However, that is not the case. The last novel of The Lunar Chronicles is still on target.

WINTER will still release November 10, 2015!

The "bad/sad/okay I can deal with this news since everything else is so freaking amazing about this post" news -- is that Heartless, Marissa's next novel and first non-TLC book, has been delayed by nearly nine months! Yikes. Sorry folks.

HEARTLESS will now be out on November 8, 2016 rather than February 2016 as originally planned since STARS ABOVE is now coming out February 2, 2016!



As always thanks to Breaking the Spine for hosting.

      Oh wow! You should read The Lunar Chronicles if you adore space steampunk fractured fairy tales. It's a brilliant blend of all these things and more. I am in awe of this series, because it's really magnificently well-done in all the ways. Winter comes out the end of this year and then the anthology in February. If you started now with the first four books; you could draw out the story probably so that you read them all together.

      Well, you could always wait until November when Winter comes out and binge read them to catch up. Then you'll have the amazing conclusion already on hand. :)

      Thanks for stopping by!

      Awww... thanks! I have to remember my login for Bloglovin because gulps... I forgot it and it will not let me in anymore.

      LOL! I have a feeling a lot of us will wait and reread the entire series come November too just to get the best overall experience from having the series whole. So exciting!

    I just saw the news about this! While I haven't read any of the books in the series besides Cinder (which I liked), I do like the look of this bind-up :) I hope you enjoy this book when you read it, Beth! :)

      Isn't it great news! So excited about it even though Heartless got moved. How are you enjoying Cinder? Marissa does such a good job keeping the plot tightly wound up and unspooling it slowly through each book. I hope you like it!

      The Little Android is so precious! I love that one. I'm pleased so many authors are compiling their shorts into book form. It makes it so much easier for me to keep track of them. :)

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 Authors I Read the Most

By -

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
