Purchased:
Dreams of Gods and Monsters by Laini Taylor. Unabridged audiobook on 14 CDs. 18 hours. Narrated by Christine Hvam. Hachette Audio, 2014. 9781478952633.
Publisher synopsis: In this thrilling conclusion to the Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy, Karou is still not ready to forgive Akiva for killing the only family she's ever known.
When a brutal angel army trespasses into the human world, Karou and Akiva must ally their enemy armies against the threat--and against larger dangers that loom on the horizon. They begin to hope that it might forge a way forward for their people. And, perhaps, for themselves--maybe even toward love.
From the streets of Rome to the caves of the Kirin and beyond, humans, chimaera, and seraphim will fight, strive, love, and die in an epic theater that transcends good and evil, right and wrong, friend and enemy.
Upside Down in the Middle of Nowhere by Julie T. Lamana. 309 p. Chronicle Books LLC., April 8, 2014. 9781452124568.
Publisher synopsis: Armani Curtis can think about only one thing: her tenth birthday. All her friends are coming to her party, her mama is making a big cake, and she has a good feeling about a certain wrapped box. Turning ten is a big deal to Armani. It means she's older, wiser, more responsible. But when Hurricane Katrina hits the Lower Nines of New Orleans, Armani realizes that being ten means being brave, watching loved ones die, and mustering all her strength to help her family weather the storm. A powerful story of courage and survival, Upside Down in the Middle of Nowhere celebrates the miraculous power of hope and love in the face of the unthinkable.
Promotional gift: Ooh, these won't last long when I put them out. I have at least two copies of each Wimpy Kid book and they're rarely on the shelf. I do believe that the cover reveal of the next installment is pretty soon.
What's new with you?
Ooh, I should look into the audiobooks of the Laini Taylor trilogy. I've read the first two, but it'd be nice to refresh my memory on them while also doing something else (I like to crochet while I listen to audiobooks). Enjoy!

I love when I see people who love the Daughter of Smoke & Bone books! I wish I could listen to audio but without fail they send me to sleep, doesn't matter who the narrator is or how badly I want to 'read' the book! Hope you enjoy it and looking forward to hearing what you think of the last instalment :)

Upside down in the middle of Nowhere looks very intriguing. I hope that you enjoy your books!
ReplyDeleteI have a copy of Upside Down in the Middle of Nowhere but not had the chance to read it yet, sound good though. Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteI still haven't even picked up The Daughter of Smoke and Bone yet (though I keep hearing how good it is) and since the series is finished, might as well! :) Happy reading!
