2- MORE COVER REVEALS
We knew some writers' series end in 2014 and 2015 and some of them decided to start a new series and you know the most popular genre in these day is high fantasy. This makes me more interested in to read these books because I got bored similar topics like vampires, angels. I want to read different and epic books and actually most of the people think in that way. I am going to show you guys Wendy Higgins, C.J. Redwine and Veronica Rossi's new upcoming books

THE SHADOW QUEEN BY C.J. REDWINE

Lorelai Diederich, crown princess and fugitive at large, has one mission: kill the wicked queen who took both the Ravenspire throne and the life of her father. To do that, Lorelai needs to use the one weapon she and Queen Irina have in common—magic. She’ll have to be stronger, faster, and more powerful than Irina, the most dangerous sorceress Ravenspire has ever seen.
In the neighboring kingdom of Eldr, when Prince Kol’s father and older brother are killed by an invading army of magic-wielding ogres, the second-born prince is suddenly given the responsibility of saving his kingdom. To do that, Kol needs magic—and the only way to get it is to make a deal with the queen of Ravenspire, promise to become her personal huntsman…and bring her Lorelai’s heart.
But Lorelai is nothing like Kol expected—beautiful, fierce, and unstoppable—and despite dark magic, Lorelai is drawn in by the passionate and troubled king. Fighting to stay one step ahead of the dragon huntsman—who she likes far more than she should—Lorelai does everything in her power to ruin the wicked queen. But Irina isn’t going down without a fight, and her final move may cost the princess the one thing she still has left to lose.

RIDERS BY VERONICA ROSSI

 For eighteen-year-old Gideon Blake, nothing but death can keep him from achieving his goal of becoming a U.S. Army Ranger. As it turns out, it does.Recovering from the accident that most definitely killed him, Gideon finds himself with strange new powers and a bizarre cuff he can’t remove. His death has brought to life his real destiny. He has become War, one of the legendary four horsemen of the apocalypse.Over the coming weeks, he and the other horsemen—Conquest, Famine and Death—are brought together by a beautiful but frustratingly secretive girl to help save humanity from an ancient evil on the emergence.They fail.Now—bound, bloodied, and drugged—Gideon is interrogated by the authorities about his role in a battle that has become an international incident. If he stands any chance of saving his friends and the girl he’s fallen for—not to mention all of humankind—he needs to convince the skeptical government officials the world is in imminent danger.But will anyone believe him?

 THE GREAT HUNT BY WENDY HIGGINS

Kill the beast. Win the girl.
A strange beast stirs fear in the kingdom of Lochlanach, terrorizing towns with its brutality and hunger. In an act of desperation, a proclamation is sent to all of Eurona—kill the creature and win the ultimate prize: the daughter of King Lochson’s hand in marriage.
Princess Aerity understands her duty to the kingdom though it pains her to imagine marrying a stranger. It would be foolish to set her sights on any particular man in the great hunt, but when a brooding local hunter, Paxton Seabolt, catches her attention, there’s no denying the unspoken lure between them…or his mysterious resentment.
Paxton is not keen on marriage. Nor does he care much for spoiled royals and their arcane laws. He’s determined to keep his focus on the task at hand—ridding the kingdom of the beast and protecting his family—yet Princess Aerity continues to challenge his notions with her unpredictability and charm. But as past secrets collide with present desires, dire choices threaten everything Paxton holds dear.
Inspired by the Grimm Brothers’ tale, “The Singing Bone,” New York Times bestselling author Wendy Higgins delivers a dark fantasy filled with rugged hunters, romantic tension, outlawed magic, and a princess willing to risk all to save her people.

PASSENGER BY ALEXANDRA BRACKEN

Violin prodigy Etta Spencer had big plans for her future, but a tragedy has put her once-bright career at risk. Closely tied to her musical skill, however, is a mysterious power she doesn't even know she has. When her two talents collide during a stressful performance, Etta is drawn back hundreds of years through time. 
Etta wakes, confused and terrified, in 1776, in the midst a fierce sea battle. Nicholas Carter, the handsome young prize master of a privateering ship, has been hired to retrieve Etta and deliver her unharmed to the Ironwoods, a powerful family in the Colonies--the very same one that orchestrated her jump back, and one Nicholas himself has ties to. But discovering she can time travel is nothing compared to the shock of discovering the true reason the Ironwoods have ensnared her in their web. 
Another traveler has stolen an object of untold value from them, and, if Etta can find it, they will return her to her own time. Out of options, Etta and Nicholas embark on a perilous journey across centuries and continents, piecing together clues left behind by the mysterious traveler. But as they draw closer to each other and the end of their search, the true nature of the object, and the dangerous game the Ironwoods are playing, comes to light -- threatening to separate her not only from Nicholas, but her path home... forever.

3- RED QUEEN IS GOING TO BE A FILM!!    
Hunger Games' Effie Trinket in reality Elizabeth Banks will direct Red Queen's film adaptation and this is the most amazing news for the Red Queen fans.

When I heard this book, I thought this book is going to be amazing but I didn't expect to see film adaptation or in Goodreads, the book reached 36 000 ratings- which is awesome for a new book. I believe the movie is going to be a good as the book.

4- SHATTER ME IS GOING TO BE A FILM TOO!!!

Shatter Me series has a lot of fans and I haven't got a chance to be one of them because I haven't red the first one yet. I bought the first book and just waiting for reading in my library.

When I saw this, it makes me more glad to start the series. I hope as soon as possible :)))




I have got only these news to share but if I have got more news soon, I will publish immediately. See you soon in the next News About Books post!!!

Book Reviw: CRESS by Marissa Meyer

 In this third book in the Lunar Chronicles, Cinder and Captain Thorne are fugitives on the run, now with Scarlet and Wolf in tow. Together, they’re plotting to overthrow Queen Levana and her army.

Their best hope lies with Cress, a girl imprisoned on a satellite since childhood who's only ever had her netscreens as company. All that screen time has made Cress an excellent hacker. Unfortunately, she’s just received orders from Levana to track down Cinder and her handsome accomplice.

When a daring rescue of Cress goes awry, the group is separated. Cress finally has her freedom, but it comes at a high price. Meanwhile, Queen Levana will let nothing prevent her marriage to Emperor Kai. Cress, Scarlet, and Cinder may not have signed up to save the world, but they may be the only hope the world has.

Hey, everyone! I am here to review an amazing and absolutely fantastic book for me: Cress by Marissa Meyer.
You can read my Scarlet review here.

Actually, when I read the first book, I didn't expect to Lunar Chronicles series is going to impress me too much. But at the end of the Scarlet, I realized that I really want to read this series more and more. All of the characters are amazing except Levana of course :)

The Lunar Chronicles series has the most amazing worldbuilding for me and at the end of the Cress, I think Marissa Meyer increased in a high level and in each book we can see the improvement gradually.


As like the previous books, the author makes the similarities with fairytales and in this book Cress is one of the main character and she is Rapunzel.

I really love her because she is so sweet and she has a deep love for Captain Thorne-like me- and I just felt sorry for her when she explained her feelings about being trapped in a satellite for seven years. She is so fragile and she just wants to see the World and be with Thorne.-every girl want that though-

I can hear your cryings about what it is happening between the other ships? Cinder/Kai? Scarlet/Wolf? I am going to explain everything and I will warn you may see spoilers ahead.

Cress/Thorne:

Is it the obvious thing these two characters are the best for me? Yeah, I love Thorne no I think it's more than that. I need him like Cress needs him. PLEASE. GIVE. ME. THORNE. PLEASE...

Anyway, Cress and Thorne is amazing together and if Thorne couldn't be mine he can't be with someone else except with Cress.

He is so sweet, He is just perfect match for Cress. I loved him in Scarlet too, but in this book, I can sense his emotions for Cress.

I think it's not open relationship like Scarlet and Wolf but you can sense the attraction between them. Especially I can feel Thorne's emotions when Cress kidnapped. I can't describe at all and can't say this feeling is definitely love but it's kind and similar of that. He cares about her and openly he has feelings for her. In my opinion, the first reason why their relationship is taking slowly is about his temporary blindness. And the second of it is Cress had known him as a hero and when he explains the reasons she got disappointed. No, she is not disappointed. Even she loved him more. But for Thorne, I think he may realized in that way but I hoped we can see their 'REAL relationship' I know because Marissa is an awesome writer.

Scarlet/Wolf: 
These two are my favorite ships in Scarlet but unfortunately, we can't see them together so much in Cress because of circumstances.

Cinder/Kai:
Finally we can see them together!! And reunited! They are so adorable at the end of the Cress.

NOTEABLE SCENES:

“Captain?""Yeah?""Do you think it was destiny that brought us together?"He squinted and, after a thoughtful moment, shook his head. "No. I'm pretty sure it was Cinder.” 

 “I promise, I will not let you die without being kissed.” 

 “Captain,” she murmured.“I think I’m in love with you.”An eyebrow shot up. She counted six beats of his heart before, suddenly, he laughed.“Don’t tell me it took you two whole days to realize that. I must be losing my touch.”

“Knees suddenly weak, she reached for his forearms to stabilize herself. “You came for me.”
He beamed, looking for all the world like a selfless, daring hero.
“Don’t sound so surprised.” Dropping the cane, he pulled her into a crushing embrace that tore her away from Wolf and lifted her clean off the floor. “It turns out you are worth a lot of money on the black market.” 

If you love dystopian, young adult, space books with great sense of humor and with nonstop action, you definitely have to read this series. I really loved it and can't wait for the last book of the series: Winter.

I don't want to say good-bye to all of the characters even Levana and I really enjoyed every page of it. I hope and believe Marissa Meyer end this series with epic, romantic, dramaric, enjoying conclusion. I love her writing style because of this. You can feel the characters' feelings and want to be the part of the crew. And I feel like when I'm reading I'm the part of the crew. It's all amazing. Just. Read. It.




MY EMOTIONS GITH GIFS:

While I was reading Cress:

When my ships are perfectly matched together: (Especially Thorne and Cress)

Through the end of the book and already knew that cliffhanger is coming:

PLOT TWISTS: (Marissa did it very well)

Turn the pages and when I see the Acknowledgements part...

When I saw the release date of Winter:

And I realized Winter is going to be 824 pages full of awesomeness. HELL. YEAH. COME. ON.
THIS. SERIES. IS. THE. BEST.........

Book Review: A THOUSAND PIECES OF YOU by Claudia Gray

Every Day meets Cloud Atlas in this heart-racing, space- and time-bending, epic new trilogy from New York Times bestselling author Claudia Gray.
Marguerite Caine’s physicist parents are known for their radical scientific achievements. Their most astonishing invention: the Firebird, which allows users to jump into parallel universes, some vastly altered from our own. But when Marguerite’s father is murdered, the killer—her parent’s handsome and enigmatic assistant Paul—escapes into another dimension before the law can touch him.
Marguerite can’t let the man who destroyed her family go free, and she races after Paul through different universes, where their lives entangle in increasingly familiar ways. With each encounter she begins to question Paul’s guilt—and her own heart. Soon she discovers the truth behind her father’s death is more sinister than she ever could have imagined.
A Thousand Pieces of You explores a reality where we witness the countless other lives we might lead in an amazingly intricate multiverse, and ask whether, amid infinite possibilities, one love can endure.

 žA Thousand Pieces of You is one of the most amazing book I’ve read in 2015. This book reminds me why science-fiction is one of my favorite genre. This book made me mesmerized, astonished, sad, happy,..

žAs you see in the plot, it is about parallel universes which is so different topic for me. I really want to read because when I saw in Goodreads and read the plot, I knew this book is interesting because I never read a book about parallel universes and that makes me more curious about reading.

žI bought A Thousand Pieces of You in Book Depository and when it came to my home, this makes my day brightful and I got a hardcover version which is so beautiful.

ž

ž   I think this book’s best part for me is science-fiction parts. Because while I was reading, I can imagine how the Firebird works and how it looks like. That’s because of Claudia Gray’s amazing writing style.

       THE CHARACTERS
        žMarguerite Caine: She is so strong character and she is determined to take her revenge from her dad’s murderer. If she wants to catch the boy who killed her father-Paul-, she have to try to go to another parallel dimension which is so dangerous because she hasn’t use that before and noone use the Firebird except Paul. Also her friend Theo is determined to come with her and they didn’t know that would be so dangerous job because they don’t know the truth. Marguerite don’t want to believe Paul is guilty because she know him very well for a long time.

  žPaul Markov: I didn’t believe he was guilty at the firsttime because I really love Paul; his relationship with Marguerite is so sweet and I love Paul in parallel universe in Russia. He is Marguerite’s guard and he is so strong.

žThe Firebird has found by Marguerite’s parents and her parents are scientists. Instead of, she is interested in art. I love her feelings about love and these are quotable scenes for me. 

ž  I really like this quote becasuse it describe how the parallel dimension works:

ž   “Apparently, when people travel between dimensions, their physical forms are "no longer observable," which is a quantum mechanics thing, and explaining it involves this whole story about a cat that's in a box and is simultaneously alive and dead until you open the box, and it gets seriously complicated. Never ask a physicist about that cat.” 

 

       “Every form of art is another way of seeing the world. Another perspective, another window. And science –that’s the most spectacular window of all. You can see the entire universe from there.” 

        “I would love you in any shape, in any world, with any past. Never doubt that. -Lt. Markov” 

 žWhen I heard the second book comes out, I was so happy because the 
ending is not like ending at all. This book will come 
out in November and I have already missed the 
characters.

žI love the first cover more but the second one 

is also so pretty! 

And these covers make me want to read the 

first one again!

ž

žIf you love science-fiction, young adult, romance books you will definitely love A Thousand Pieces of You. Parallel universe thing is so unique from the other books and Claudia Gray’s writing style is so absorbing. I will recommend this book because it is one of the best book I’ve ever read. Before I started to read this book, I had high expectations too because of the plot but when I finished it, I don’t want to leave the world of imagination about real parallel universes.

ž I gave 5-stars definitely and I can’t wait to read the second one! J
