There's nothing better than Book Mail!

The fall season is pretty much in full swing...football has officially started and long awaited books are being released. This week I recieved my U.K. Paperback copy of Empire of Storms by Sarah J. Maas...

Empire of Storms is the fifty book of the Throne of Glass series. I can not believe its been over a year since the last release. I can not wait to see what Aelin gets into. And I am very curious about what will happen with Dorian and Chaol. If you have not read these you should...great world building and amazing action. Here is a synopsis of the book:

The long path to the throne has only just begun for Aelin Galathynius. Loyalties have been broken and bought, friends have been lost and gained, and those who possess magic find themselves at odds with those don't.

As the kingdoms of Erilea fracture around her, enemies must become allies if Aelin is to keep those she loves from falling to the dark forces poised to claim her world. With war looming on all horizons, the only chance for salvation lies in a desperate quest that may mark the end of everything Aelin holds dear.

Aelin's journey from assassin to queen has entranced millions across the globe, and this fifth installment will leave fans breathless. Will Aelin succeed in keeping her world from splintering, or will it all come crashing down?

If your not reading her books you should be....

So on this day during Women's History Month I want to talk about one of my favorite Word Nerds (that all of you need to be reading), Susan Ee. Susan is the author of the Angelfall Trilogy. A group of YA dystopian novels that revolve around the Archangel Raphael and a teenage girl name Penryn. I was absolutely addicted to this series. I actually finished the last two books last month! I am posting about Susan because her character Penryn is one of the best developed YA characters I have read in sometime. For more information Susan Ee and her books visit www.susanee.com

Here are a few of my favorite quotes from the Angelfall series:

The Bookbabe Reviews.....Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas (Throne of Glass #2)

Sarah J. Maas is at it again; I am completely in awe of how she weaves
a tale. The Crown of Midnight is the second book in the Throne of
Glass series. As many of my followers know I read the first book
Throne of Glass last year and was blown away by it. Maas contiunes to
expand on Celanea's story and there are so many twist and turns that I
don't even know where to start. Well, the love story that emerges
between Celaena and Chaol is beautiful and sweet but it takes a
dramatic turn after the death of a beloved character. Though, I think
that they will get back together I do see that it will take a lot of
time. Also, finally Prince Dorian seems to be ready to let Celaena go;
but after discovering that he has magic (its been banned from the
realm for almost ten years) he mistakenly ends up confiding in her and
this only deepens their friendship. We finally get to meet the
memebers heading up the resistance against the King; however, they are
a scandalous and disgusting bunch. I was really taken a back by the
way things went down. It was unexpected to say the least. The fact
that more and more of Celaena's past is finally popping up means that
there is more and more danger up head in the next few books. We
finally find out who Celaena is thanks to Chaol's sudden interest in
finding out what she's hiding. Once he puts two and two together and
with the final scene between them we finally find out that Celaena
always knew who she was. Now Chaol has to decide where his loyalites
really lie. I can honestly say that this book was amazeballs. I have
never been so interested in a fanasty novel in my life. Celaena
continues to be the kick butt, strong female lead that a lot of us
have been looking for for a long time. I really not not wait to see
what happens in Heir of Fire.

Favorite Quote:
" I worry because I care. Gods help me, I know I shouldn't, but I do.
So I will always tell you to be careful, because I will always care
what happens" Chaol to Celaena.
