Splintered

Waiting on... a stand-alone/first:



Splintered by A.G. Howard - January 2012 by Amulet

For sixteen years, Alyssa Gardner has lived with the stigma of being descended from Alice Liddell—the real life inspiration for Lewis Carroll’s famed novel, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. But cruel jokes about dormice and tea parties can’t compare to the fact that Alyssa hears the whispers of bugs and flowers... the same quirk which sent her mother to a mental institution years before.

When her mother takes a turn for the worse and the whispers grow too strong for Alyssa to bear, she seeks the origins of their family curse. A set of heirlooms and a moth tied to an unusual website lead Alyssa and her gorgeous best friend / secret crush, Jeb, down the rabbit hole into the real Wonderland, a place more twisted and eerie than Lewis Carroll ever let on.
Why I'm waiting on this: I am madly in love with this cover, can you say beautiful. The model has a really unique look and I love the plants! I also love the idea of this, a quirky story and it sounds quite eerie. I am so excited!

Days of Blood and Starlight (Daughter of Smoke and Bone, #2)


Waiting on... a sequel


Days of Blood & Starlight by Laini Taylor - November 6th by Little, Brown

In this stunning sequel to the highly acclaimed "Daughter of Smoke and Bone," Karou must come to terms with who and what she is, and how far she'll go to avenge her people. Filled with heartbreak and beauty, mysteries and secrets, new characters and old favorites, Days of Blood and Starlight brings the richness, color and intensity of the first book to a brand new canvas.

Why I'm waiting on this: I adored Daughter of Smoke and Bone and this cover is absolutely amazing, it's so breathtaking!

    This is the first time I am hearing about Splintered, though I think I've seen the cover before and liked it. I will definetly check this book out! As for Days of Blood and Starlight, I am also eagerly awaiting it! i got an extended preview at Comic-Con (76 pgs) and it was amazing!! I think we fans of Daughter of Smoke and Bone will not be dissapointed!

    Firstly, I can't not notice that both these covers are absolutely gorgeous. And as for the books... Splintered sounds good but not exactly for me. Days of Blood and Starlight has great potential or at least the summary is very interesting but I still haven't read the first book... I hope you enjoy these books when you get a chance to read them.
    Thanks for stopping by my WOW.
