Following my heart, one book at a time...
<— DYSTOPIAN/POST-APOCALYPTIC ALERT (by one of our favorite authors!!) & book #3 – the conclusion!! – will be out in just a couple of weeks. OMG this sounds AH-MAAAAZING!!!! Forbidden love and all of that mixed in. YAY US!!
Jean: FLT: “They only take boys.” (Juniper Unraveling ARC by Keri Lake). I am absolutely loving this book! It kinda has an Until the End of the World feel. Soooo good! A little darker though…
Jessica: Ahhh! I loved book one. So happy there is more.
HUGE HIT amongst us series bingers (whether it be books or shows) and guess what is going LIVE in just a few days?? THE. SEQUEL!!!! Gasp-worthy, infuriating, scary and yet utterly addictive, I can’t get over this show (yes… I learned about it because of the show). This kind of story is TOTALLY my thing. 😉
Cathy: It is sooo hard to choose a favorite book. I would say A Handmaid’s Tale.
About book #1:
The Handmaid’s Tale is a novel of such power that the reader will be unable to forget its images and its forecast. Set in the near future, it describes life in what was once the United States and is now called the Republic of Gilead, a monotheocracy that has reacted to social unrest and a sharply declining birthrate by reverting to, and going beyond, the repressive intolerance of the original Puritans. The regime takes the Book of Genesis absolutely at its word, with bizarre consequences for the women and men in its population.
MUCH LOVED FANTASY SERIES and the trilogy is now complete!!! Relief if here for so many of my fellow readers that have gone CRAZY for this one!! 😀
Tessa: Shadowspell Academy: The Culling Trials by Shannon Meyer and KF Breene – These two authors together is a dream. The action was fast, the plot held tons of aches, family and friendship come into play… YAY! …it’s addicting and really good.
Robyn: I read book one and it was good.
Tessa: The Culling Trials 2 by KF Breene and Shannon Mayer. These two should work together more often.🙂 The second book did NOT disappoint.
Naomi just sent us this reader question!!! It’s got plenty of detail (I spoiler-alerted along the way) but it’s enough that if you’ve read it, you’ll know it. 🙂
She asks:
Hey Maryse!
I have a reader question!
We’re looking for a book, it’s probably dystopian fantasy, it’s adult and it’s about two people falling in love from different military factions,
*spoiler alert*
*spoiler alert*
*spoiler alert*
*spoiler alert*
*spoiler alert*
halfway through the book he ends up giving both of them amnesia in order to save her.
<— DYSTOPIAN ALERT & OMG I LOVE the sound of this one.
Tessa: Something definitely unique and fantasy is Secondborn by Amy Bartol. 
I really liked that series, and am waiting with bated breath for the last of the trilogy. (I think it will be anyway?)
…Secondborn and Traitor Born by Amy Bartol just blew me away. It was so high in angst, GAH. I loved it.
Nay: I’m going to check out this Secondborn series, even if it is YA. If they’re angsty enough, sometimes I end up loving them more than some of the corny NAs out there.
