Throwback Thursday (69)

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:

Ooooh, this one I DO need to get back to.  I LOVED reading the first book.  Enjoyed the take with water powers and the story told.  The world created was very visual for me, and one I want to get back to reading. I was even left WANTING the next book at the end.  Darn time for getting in my way of my fun and desires!

Goodreads Synopsis:

The last Stormlord is dead. War has come to the cities of the Quartern. The violent, nomadic Redunners have put every rainlord they could find to the sword and the cities are left without hope.

Shale has been betrayed, drugged, and left at the feet of his greatest enemy. Now, he must decide to work with those who have plotted against him or let thousands of the waterless die. He has great power but is no Stormlord. At least, not yet...

Terelle has escaped the Scarpen in search of her homeland and her people, the mysterious Watergivers. But a desperate message will send her back to find Shale and face her worst fears.

The people of the Scarpen are in danger. Shale and Terelle must find a way to save their people and punish those who have destroyed all they ever loved.

This Week:

Oh oh oh!  I loved reading the first book of this trilogy.  I loved the characters, the world, and the story.  Glenda is wonderful at story telling.  Actually, for it being over 600 pages I read it in a whole weekend.  No, I did nothing else but read, but I couldn't stop.  I have this and the third book on my shelves to read.  Goodness!!  I need to get back to it!

Oh, I soooo need to get these books squeezed in!  Sounds like the perfect series to go with my blog reading goal, to get back to series I've gotten away from.

Looking Forward To... (12)

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 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.)

The Next Book Is...

Stormlord Rising

By Glenda Larke

Due out August 1, 2010  OR July 27, 2010

Let me tell you a little secret on this release date first.  I had thought the release date was August 1st, but I have been known to be wrong with these.  Then it was noted that a few places had the release dates changed to July 27th, Borders and Amazon.  So I have preordered my copy in hopes that it was July 27th.  And... my copy is officially on its way to me.  So it is looking like if you order it you can get it for July 27th.

This is the 2nd book to the Watergivers series.  I enjoyed reading the first book with the abilities to manipulate water.  The world created here with water, or the lack of, is wonderful.

You can check out my review of The Last Stormlord here.  

You can also read how much I loved a few of the characters, here and here.
