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.
Now YOU decide what book I read first. Leave a
comment saying which book you think I should focus on and next TGIF post I will
share a short blurb about what I think of the book. The blurb will only
be for the book most voted for in comments. Plus I will work on pushing the review out that much sooner. *Please note that if a book is not read one week in may be on the list the following week*
Last weeks top vote:
This is a sequel to The Magic Warble. This is a book for review I am doing (review and giveaway coming in October!!!). This book picks up about 2 1/2 years after the last book, where Kristina is now 15 and she, and the others find themselves once again in Bernovem. We get to see more a more romantic relationship between Kristina and Werrien as well. It is quite an enjoyable young adult, fantasy adventure. See you next month with more information on this book!

John and Jack are
mystified when they discover a cryptic warning on a medieval
manuscript—a warning that is not only addressed to them, but seems to
have been written by their friend, Hugo Dyson. But before they can
discover the origins of the book, Hugo walks through a door in time—and
vanishes into the past. In that moment, the world begins to change. Now,
the Archipelago of Dreams and our world both suffer under the reign of
the cruel and terrible Winter King. Dark beasts roam the countryside,
and terror rules the land.
John and Jack must travel back in time—from the Bronze Age to the library in ancient Alexandria to the founding of the Silver Throne—to find the only thing that can save their friend and restore both words. The solution lies in the answer to a 2,000-year-old mystery: Who is the Cartographer?

On the outside, seventeen-year-old Madelyne Summers looks like your typical blond cheerleader—perky, popular, and dating the star quarterback. But inside, Maddie spends more time agonizing over what will happen in the next issue of her favorite comic book than planning pep rallies with her squad. That she’s a nerd hiding in a popular girl's body isn’t just unknown, it's anti-known. And she needs to keep it that way.
Summer is the only time Maddie lets her real self out to play, but when she slips up and the adorkable guy behind the local comic shop’s counter uncovers her secret, she’s busted. Before she can shake a pom-pom, Maddie’s whisked into Logan’s world of comic conventions, live-action role-playing, and first-person-shooter video games. And she loves it. But the more she denies who she really is, the deeper her lies become…and the more she risks losing Logan forever.

It was just another
ordinary day at McKinley High—until a massive explosion devastated the
school. When loner David Thorpe tried to help his English teacher to
safety, the teacher convulsed and died right in front of him. And that
was just the beginning.
A year later, McKinley has descended into chaos. All the students are infected with a virus that makes them deadly to adults. The school is under military quarantine. The teachers are gone. Violent gangs have formed based on high school social cliques. Without a gang, you’re as good as dead. And David has no gang. It’s just him and his little brother, Will, against the whole school.
In this frighteningly dark and captivating novel, Lex Thomas locks readers inside a school where kids don’t fight to be popular, they fight to stay alive.
