Deborah Harkness – All Souls Trilogy Reading Order

By 17 Comments

This book (which will become a trilogy) has been recommended vehemently by quite a few readers. I must say… I am convinced. I will read this. ASAP! Like… this week! Also I just found out, that after only one book, it will possibly be made into a movie! “Warner Brothers optioned A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES and its sequels in July”

As per Rebecca:

“For those of you who haven’t read A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness, Go and buy it now!!! Such a fantastic book. The first in the All Souls series and the next one due to be released in summer ’12. Its kind of a grown up Twilight, but better! And I never thought I would hear myself say that about any book!! Move over Edward Cullen, Matthew Clairmont is THE vampire :)” read more

S.J. Day – Marked Series Reading Order

By 7 Comments

Ooooh the premise for this one looks good! Humans AND paranormals, and that poor girl. See what being attracted to bad boys gets you? Then again… if he is going to be a recurring character in the series… hrmmm… I think this might be fun!

About the series (the author is Sylvia Day):

Cursed by God, hunted by demons, desired by Cain and Abel… All in a day’s work.

For Evangeline Hollis, a long-ago fling with a bad boy from the wrong side of the tracks just became a disaster of biblical proportions. One night with a leather-clad man of mystery has led to a divine punishment: the Mark of Cain. read more
