T . G. I. F. Weekly
For those
of you who don't know, TGIF Weekly is a Friday post where I share 3 books I
have sitting next to me that I want to read soon. My goal was to always
work on at least 1 of these books before the next Friday.
Last weeks top vote:
An interesting start for this book. I was hoping to have more time to get into this book a bit more but a library book came up due that I thought I would be able to renew so my week was off a bit. Sorry. The prologue gets you right into the thick of things but then it seems to taper down. LOTS of characters so far which is a bit to take in right from the first few chapters. The walking, talking, throne lounging, hugging dragons so far confuse me a bit from the one in the prologue and the cover. the foundation seems like it is going to make for a good epic fantasy however. I look forward to continuing it.
The Books for the coming week:

Aono Tsukune is so hard up on luck, that he can't even get admitted into
high school. His parents finally find him a school with no tests
required for admittance, out in the middle of nowhere. He finds out the
school is a youkai (monster) academy, Just as he is about to resign
himself and get back on the bus home, he bumps into a beautiful girl.
Turns out this beautiful girl, Akashiya Moka, is also a vampire who
bites him right off the bat. They become friends and Tsukune is ready
for a happy school life with her, until he finds out that if a human is
found on the school grounds, he or she should be killed. Now Tsukune
must conceal his identity from the rest of the monsters at school, while
at the same time being a ready snack for Moka when ever the urge takes
her. What effect will this have on Tsukune and will Moka be able to
keep him out of harm's way?

In a futuristic world
nearly destroyed by religious extremists, Justin March lives in exile
after failing in his job as an investigator of religious groups and
supernatural claims. But Justin is given a second chance when Mae
Koskinen comes to bring him back to the Republic of United North America
(RUNA). Raised in an aristocratic caste, Mae is now a member of the
military’s most elite and terrifying tier, a soldier with enhanced
reflexes and skills.
When Justin and Mae are assigned to work together to solve a string of ritualistic murders, they soon realize that their discoveries have exposed them to terrible danger. As their investigation races forward, unknown enemies and powers greater than they can imagine are gathering in the shadows, ready to reclaim the world in which humans are merely game pieces on their board.
Gameboard of the Gods, the first installment of Richelle Mead’s Age of X series, will have all the elements that have made her YA Vampire Academy and Bloodlines series such megasuccesses: sexy, irresistible characters; romantic and mythological intrigue; and relentless action and suspense.

Vampire musician Michael
Glass has attracted the attention of a big- time producer who wants to
cut a demo and play some gigs-which means Michael will have to enter the
human world. For this, he's been assigned escorts that include both a
dangerous immortal as well as Michael's all-too-human friends. And with
that mix of personalities, this is going to be a road trip from hell...

I think Gameboard of the Gods. I've heard good things. I'm reading Fire With Fire by Jenny Han and Vivian Siobhan right now and am loving it. Thanks for stopping by my blog and following. I followed back via Bloglovin. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
Thanks for following and the vote. I just looked up the book you are reading. Sounds really good, I may have to look into the first book.
DeleteRosario!
ReplyDeleteThanks for voting
DeleteHi, I think this would be a great meme ! I vote that you should read Richelle Meads Gameboard of the Gods because it isn't a series like the morganville series is . I would also love to read it but I don't own a copy ...yet however.
ReplyDeleteAlso I might make a post with 3 of my own titles .
Currently I'm reading
1. The War of the Fae series book One : The Changelings by Elle Casey
2. Kick Fat In The Nuts by T.C Hale
3. Deadly Sting by Jennifer Estep
Ooh, looking these up, War of the Fae sounds really interesting. Thanks for voting! I have a linky now created if you want to set up your own post.
DeleteOk so here is my TGIF Weekly post http://www.2jackies.com/2013/08/tgif-weekly.html. I think you should make a linky list toute suite even if I am the only one playing. I hope more people join in though .
ReplyDeleteSweet I will go check it out! I just added a linky set-up for this :)
