0 {?} The Decolration, The Resistance, & The Legacy (THE DECLORATION SEREIS, #1-3 of 3) - series by Gemma Malley

Here's a new series I read about on 'Wondrous Reads'.  Usually I agree with their reviews, so I'm ready to try this new series.  Not sure when I'll get to it, but these book are going on my list.

#1 - The Declaration          #2 - The Resistance        #3 - The Legacy

Note: book #3 just came out in the UK a few weeks ago (that's why its cover doesn't match the first 2), 'The Legacy' won't be out in the US till Jan 4, 2011

0 {?} Torment (FALLEN SERIES, #2 of 4+) - by Lauren Kate

 
Look what came in my mail yesterday!  I've had the sequel to ‘Fallen’ pre-ordered for months.  YEAH!!!  Guess what I'll be doing this weekend?

   #1 – Fallen    (A-)
    #2 – Torment  
    #3 – Passion (2011?)
    #4 – Rapture (???)

0 {?} I am Number Four (LORIEN LEGACIES, #1 of 2+) - by Pittacus Lore

I just heard about this new movie coming out Feb. 18, 2011.  Of course it was a book first (it just came out last month!), and I always want to read the book before seeing the movie. Oh, and it gets better...there is a book #2 (The Power of Six) is coming out next year!  To add even more intrigue, the author is actually a character in the book...or so they say.

Do you think it will live up to the hype?  I'm willing to give it a go!

0 {B+} Uglies, Pretties, & Specials (UGLIES SERIES, #1-3 of 4) - by Scott Westerfeld


Enjoyed the first book the most.  Wasn't interested in the 4th additional book, "Extras".  Nate even read these!

0 {B+} The Girl Who Chased the Moon - by Sarah Addison Allen

image This is Sarah’s third book and it just came out this month. I loved her fairy tail, magical first two books ‘Garden Spells’ & ‘The Sugar Queen’ and have been waiting for this one. They are really quick reads that are fun.
By the same author (not a series)

0 {A-} A Conspiracy of Kings (THE THIEF SERIES, #4 of 5+) - by Megan Turner

This is the 4th book in a series of potentially 6. I read the first 3 a few months ago after my sisters and mother suggested them. This one just came out this month, too. They are really good books, although they do start off slow. Give them a chance!

0 {C+} Impossible - by Nancy Werlin

image This was a fairy tale in the old sense, where not everything that is magic is nice and sweet. I bought it at the bookstore since I couldn’t wait till my online ordered books (see below) were delivered. When the urge to binge read comes, I must have my drug.
