Waiting on Wednesday # 103 - Seraphina by Rachel Hartman

Image
"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking The Spine , that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating. My pick: Seraphina (Seraphina #1) by Rachel Hartman Four decades of peace have done little to ease the mistrust between humans and dragons in the kingdom of Goredd. Folding themselves into human shape, dragons attend court as ambassadors, and lend their rational, mathematical minds to universities as scholars and teachers. As the treaty's anniversary draws near, however, tensions are high. Seraphina Dombegh has reason to fear both sides. An unusually gifted musician, she joins the court just as a member of the royal family is murdered—in suspiciously draconian fashion. Seraphina is drawn into the investigation, partnering with the captain of the Queen's Guard, the dangerously perceptive Prince Lucian Kiggs. While they begin to uncover hints of a sinister plot to destroy the peace, Seraphina struggles to protect he...

Image
Title: Wicked Nights Author: Gena Showalter Series: Angels of the Dark #1 Release Date: June 26th, 2012 Publisher: HQN Books Age: Adult Leader of the most powerful army in the heavens, Zacharel has been deemed nearly too dangerous, too ruthless-and if he isn't careful, he'll lose his wings. But this warrior with a heart of ice will not be deterred from his missions, at any cost...until a vulnerable human tempts him with a carnal pleasure he's never known before. Accused of a crime she did not commit, Annabelle Miller has spent four years in an institution for the criminally insane. Demons track her every move, and their king will stop at nothing to have her. Zacharel is her only hope for survival, but is the brutal angel with a touch as hot as hell her salvation-or her ultimate damnation? I love the Lords of the Underworld series, so when I got the chance to review Wicked Nights, I couldn't say no! Zacharel is one of the angels we met in the pre...

Waiting on Wednesday # 102 - Perfect Scoundrels by Ally Carter

Image
"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking The Spine , that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating. My pick: Perfect Scoundrels (Heist Society #3) by Ally Carter Katarina Bishop and W.W. Hale the fifth were born to lead completely different lives: Kat comes from a long, proud line of loveable criminal masterminds, while Hale is the scion of one of the most seemingly perfect dynasties in the world. If their families have one thing in common, it’s that they both know how to stay under the radar while getting—or stealing—whatever they want. No matter the risk, the Bishops can always be counted on, but in Hale’s family, all bets are off when money is on the line. When Hale unexpectedly inherits his grandmother’s billion dollar corporation, he quickly learns that there’s no place for Kat and their old heists in his new role. But Kat won’t let him go that easily, especially after she gets tipped off that his grandmother’s...

Charlotte's Web Author: E.B. White Release Date: May 15th, 1974 Publisher: HarperCollins Age: Children Some Pig These are the words in Charlotte's Web, high in the barn. Her spiderweb tells of her feelings for a little pig named Wilbur, as well as the feelings of a little girl named Fern ... who loves Wilbur, too. Such a cute book! I remember I watched the movie sometime ago, but when I saw the book at my niece's house, I decided I wanted to read it. Now I know why people say Charlotte's Web is a classic. It's a very sweet story, about a little pig named Wilbur who is young and lonely and facing a very sad and scary Christmas ahead. But with the help of Charlotte, the barn spider,  he will be saved. This is just the perfect example of how someone can change someone else life. When you really care, and make an effort, you can help another person. If you want to teach your kids about this, Charlotte's Web is the perfect book. Over...
