I found this picture of Trinity College Library, and thought it would work for this meme with a little play with lighting and adding the words.
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;
Unk
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:
I know if I picked this one up it would go very fast for me. And it's YA as they usually are quick fun reads too. I do need to get more witch-y time in. ;) I have this and the second book! Dang, I need to get moving!
Goodreads Synopsis:
Three years ago, Sophie Mercer discovered that she was a witch. It's gotten her into a few scrapes. Her non-gifted mother has been as supportive as possible, consulting Sophie's estranged father--an elusive European warlock--only when necessary. But when Sophie attracts too much human attention for a prom-night spell gone horribly wrong, it's her dad who decides her punishment: exile to Hex Hall, an isolated reform school for wayward Prodigium, a.k.a. witches, faeries, and shapeshifters.
By the end of her first day among fellow freak-teens, Sophie has quite a scorecard: three powerful enemies who look like supermodels, a futile crush on a gorgeous warlock, a creepy tagalong ghost, and a new roommate who happens to be the most hated person and only vampire student on campus. Worse, Sophie soon learns that a mysterious predator has been attacking students, and her only friend is the number-one suspect.
As a series of blood-curdling mysteries starts to converge, Sophie prepares for the biggest threat of all: an ancient secret society determined to destroy all Prodigium, especially her.
For some reason that one never appealed to me. I have heard a lot of great stuff about it though.

Beth D. I understand. This one sounds good, but I've heard the second one is even better. So I'm kind of curious. :) Thank you!
DeleteI've heard lots about Hex Hall as well - most people seem to love it! :-)
ReplyDeleteMel, yes, I've heard the same. And they also say the second is even better than this one. So that's a plus to hear. :) THank you!

ReplyDeleteMelissa (books&Things) Funny you say that. I won the second book too, and had to pick up the first when it was on sale. :D Maybe we should do a read along together. LOL Thank you!
