Interesting Books
(Descriptions from Goodreads)
Cinder returns in the second thrilling installment of the New
York Times-bestselling Lunar Chronicles. She’s trying to break out of
prison—even though if she succeeds, she’ll be the Commonwealth’s most wanted
fugitive.
Halfway around the world, Scarlet Benoit’s grandmother is
missing. It turns out there are many things Scarlet doesn’t know about her
grandmother and the grave danger she has lived in her whole life. When Scarlet
encounters Wolf, a street fighter who may have information as to her grandmother’s
whereabouts, she has no choice but to trust him, though he clearly has a few
dark secrets of his own.
As Scarlet and Wolf work to unravel
one mystery, they find another when they cross paths with Cinder. Together,
they must stay one step ahead of the vicious Lunar Queen who will do anything
to make Prince Kai her husband, her king, her prisoner.
"There is very little peace for a man with a body
buried in his backyard.”
With this memorable first line, we meet Jason Getty, a
regular guy in every mild sense of the word. But extraordinary circumstances
push this ordinary man to do something he can’t undo...and now he must live
with the undeniable reality of his actions. And just as Jason does
finally learn to live with it, a landscaper discovers a body on his
property—only it’s not the body Jason buried.
As Jason’s fragile peace begins to
unravel, his life is hitched to the fortunes of several strangers: Leah, an
abandoned woman looking for answers to her heartbreak; Tim, a small-town
detective just doing his job; and Boyd, a fringe-dweller whose past is about to
catch up to him—all of them in the wake and shadow of a dead man who had it
coming.

the house!
This post includes the dates for

I was delighted to see this post over at Fantasy
Cafe. I
loved Elfland and was very disappointed when the library copy of A Taste of
Blood Wine went missing.
