Looking Forward To...(75)

There are so many amazing books already on the shelves and new ones coming out.

For a list of books yet to be released I'm looking to get, you can also look on my right Sidebar at the ever growing list titled Desired Reads - just scroll down. Of course there are tones of other new books to come out that are amazing as well, but these ones are part of series I have already started or for one reason or another caught my eye (and haven't seen much on other blogs yet). But I will highlight one here each week.

(mentioned in order of Release Date then Alphabetical if there are more than one book coming out on the same date.)

Next Book Is...

Inheritance

Inheritance #4

By:  Christopher Paolini

Due Out:  November 8, 2011

Yes, this one is out.  I got behind in my dates with to many books in one month on the list.  But that's okay.  I've pre-ordered this one.  I started reading when I started this series.  It kind of got me into books.  And I enjoyed them.  So I want to know how it all ends.  I need to read this one.

Goodreads Synopsis:
Not so very long ago, Eragon—Shadeslayer, Dragon Rider—was nothing more than a poor farm boy, and his dragon, Saphira, only a blue stone in the forest. Now the fate of an entire civilization rests on their shoulders.

Long months of training and battle have brought victories and hope, but they have also brought heartbreaking loss. And still, the real battle lies ahead: they must confront Galbatorix. When they do, they will have to be strong enough to defeat him. And if they cannot, no one can. There will be no second chances. 

The Rider and his dragon have come further than anyone dared to hope. But can they topple the evil king and restore justice to Alagaësia? And if so, at what cost?

This is the much-anticipated, astonishing conclusion to the worldwide bestselling Inheritance cycle.

Cover Release & Release Date!

How many of you have been waiting for Christopher Paolini's final book of the Inheritance series?

Well, I just got an email from Borders for a pre-order of the fourth book!  I'm so excited!  I WILL be getting this book.

This series was the series that got me started into reading.  I was laid off from work and loved the movie, so picked up Eragon.  And found that I loved fantasy and dragons.

But enough about me.  Here's the book and release date:

Favorite Fictional Character (20)

Favorite Fictional Character



A weekly meme thanks to the creative mind of Ryan of Wordsmithonia.

My Favorite Fictional Character this week is for a few reasons.  The first reason is I love this character is this is where I started reading a few years ago and the second is I have a soft spot for dragons.  Yes, you read that correctly, I said dragons.

My pick this week is named after the color of her scales, Saphira.  Do you see in the picture here how such a beautiful and strong creature she is?

Saphira is the young dragon of a young Eragon in the Inheritance Cycle (Eragon, Eldest, and Brisingr, 4th book Untitled) by Christopher Paolini.

Apart from being a beast with physical strength and beauty she has a very strong personality.  Saphira has a strong belief in the way of right and wrong and the dragons world.  Even though she was not raised by dragons, or even with dragons around - being she is on of the last around.

When Eragon questions Saphira as to why she choose him to hatch for and be her rider, her response is because he is good and strong.  Saphira sees more in people than what they are trying to act as.  She has a strong sense of good and right.  Saphira becomes the rock to Eragon.

I saw the movie Eragon and since my son loved it so much we purchased the books.  When I got laid off from my job I picked them up to read and fell in love with reading.  I found my genre to read and loved the style.
