My book stack is pretty much my list from my Post on Monday!
10/23/12 and 10/24
Book: Coraline by Neil Gaiman (FINISHED) Fang Girl
Finished: 1 (Coraline)
Notes: With work and my husband having the brilliant idea to stay up and watch Night of the Living Dead 2 (which is horrible in a "i'm not sure if this is brilliant or the worst movie ever" kind of way) I didn't get to finish Coraline (10/23)
Day 3 Mini Challenge:
"Today’s challenge is all about showing off the top book you are waiting on!
Please be sure to include a cover, summary, and the reason you are waiting on it in your challenge post."
Mine is
Summary:
Art student and monster's apprentice Karou finally has the answers she has always sought. She knows who she is--and what
she is. But with this knowledge comes another truth she would give
anything to undo: She loved the enemy and he betrayed her, and a world
suffered for it.
In this stunning sequel to the highly acclaimed Daughter of Smoke & Bone, Karou must decide how far she'll go to avenge her people. Filled with heartbreak and beauty, secrets and impossible choices, Days of Blood & Starlight finds Karou and Akiva on opposing sides as an age-old war stirs back to life.
While
Karou and her allies build a monstrous army in a land of dust and
starlight, Akiva wages a different sort of battle: a battle for
redemption. For hope.
But can any hope be salvaged from the ashes of their broken dream?
My Reason:
I was enraptured by the first book! I loved the world that was built and the characters are just wow! I
really cannot wait to read this one!

ReplyDeleteI knew you would join in on this. ;O) We just can't resist, can we? Good luck getting some reading done!
ReplyDeleteAnother person is also waiting on Days of Blood and Starlight. I guess since the first book was so good I should actually pull it off my shelf and read it! :)
ReplyDeleteI have not read Daughter of Smoke and Bone but I really like that cover for the second one.
ReplyDeleteDid you like Coraline? I haven't read anything by Neil Gaiman yet though have his books lying in my Kindle.
