Throwback Thursday (14)

Let's talk about those books already on the shelves, yours or the stores.

I have a post for books I'm looking forward to coming out;
Looking Forward To...
But what about all those wonderful books that are ALREADY on the shelves.
Whether it be on your shelf waiting to be read or on the shelves in the stores waiting for you to give it a good home.

So, I thought I would share a book a week that is just waiting for me to travel through it's world.

Now... where do I start? Lets go by Published Date on the books...

This Week:

This one I had heard great things on the series and loved the feel I got from the book description and reviews I read.  So, I finally won it on another blog.  And I feel guilty that I haven't read it yet, as I really want too.  And I keep looking at it and wanting to get to it.

Goodreads Synopsis:
About to be executed for murder, Yelena is offered an extraordinary reprieve. She'll eat the best meals, have rooms in the palace-- and risk assassination by anyone trying to kill the Commander of Ixia.

And so Yelena chooses to become a food taster. But the chief of security, leaving nothing to chance, deliberately feeds her Butterfly's Dust and only by appearing for her daily antidote will she delay an agonizing death from the poison. As Yelena tries to escape her new dilemma, disasters keep mounting. Rebels plot to seize Ixia and Yelena develops magical powers she can't control. Her life is threatened again and choices must be made. But this time the outcomes aren't so clear....

  2. There are just so many, I'm afraid to even think about it! I have Lauren Kate's Fallen that I'd like to find the time to read one of these days. That Maria Snyder book sounds good too. Thanks for sharing :-)
