Throwback Thursday (31)

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 book I have heard mixed reviews on.  But it still caught my attention.  Yes it's a Young Adult read.  And my son has actually read it.  He did so last year for points in school.  And he tormented me about it too.  Knowing I hadn't read it yet, he would only so much to get me interested then when I started to question more he told me I just had to read it.  Little snot!  lol.  One of these days I'm going to get to it.

Goodreads Synopsis:
Romantic medieval fantasy from a debut author

Katsa has been able to kill a man with her bare hands since she was eight—she’s a Graceling, one of the rare people in her land born with an extreme skill. As niece of the king, she should be able to live a life of privilege, but Graced as she is with killing, she is forced to work as the king’s thug.

When she first meets Prince Po, Graced with combat skills, Katsa has no hint of how her life is about to change. She never expects to become Po’s friend. She never expects to learn a new truth about her own Grace—or about a terrible secret that lies hidden far away . . . a secret that could destroy all seven kingdoms with words alone.

  1. I enjoyed reading Graceling so I'm pretty sure you'd like it too! I though the sequel/prequel Fire was excellent and I am looking forward to Bitterblue coming out as well! :-)
