The Girl Who Raced Fairyland All the Way Home (Fairyland #5) 

by Catherynne M. Valente 

Expected publication: March 1st 2016 by Feiwell and Friends

Quite by accident, September has been crowned as Queen of Fairyland - but she inherits a Kingdom in chaos. The magic of a Dodo's egg has brought every King, Queen, or Marquess of Fairyland back to life, each with a fair and good claim on the throne, each with their own schemes and plots and horrible, hilarious, hungry histories. In order to make sense of it all, and to save their friend from a job she doesn't want, A-Through-L and Saturday devise a Royal Race, a Monarckical Marathon, in which every outlandish would-be ruler of Fairyland will chase the Stoat of Arms across the whole of the nation - and the first to seize the poor beast will seize the crown. Caught up in the madness are the changelings Hawthorn and Tamburlaine, the combat wombat Blunderbuss, the gramophone Scratch, the Green Wind, and September's parents, who have crossed the universe to find their daughter...

I am so in love with this series. it is such a fun yet complex middle grade book. I have also come to love all the characters especially September and ca't wait to see this epic conclusion.

This week's pick...

Reawakened (The Reawakened #1)
by Colleen Houck
Expected publication: August 11th 2015 by Delacorte Press 

When seventeen-year-old Lilliana Young enters the Metropolitan Museum of Art one morning during spring break, the last thing she expects to find is a live Egyptian prince with godlike powers, who has been reawakened after a thousand years of mummification. And she really can't imagine being chosen to aid him in an epic quest that will lead them across the globe to find his brothers and complete a grand ceremony that will save mankind. But fate has taken hold of Lily, and she, along with her sun prince, Amon, must travel to the Valley of the Kings, raise his brothers, and stop an evil, shape-shifting god named Seth from taking over the world. From New York Times bestselling author Colleen Houck comes an epic adventure about two star-crossed teens who must battle mythical forces and ancient curses on a journey with more twists and turns than the Nile itself.

I simple cannot believe i did not even know about this book till BEA then I also managed to miss it there. Not to fear for there is only a few weeks to go till it is released! I am super obsessed with all things mythology namely Egyptian and Greek so this is sooo perfect for me. also the rave reviews make my mouth water!

Waiting on Wednesday #1

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme that is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine and spotlights upcoming releases that we can't wait to get our hands on. 

We are very excited to participate in Waiting on Wednesday!  This is our first post for this meme and we hope to make it a weekly feature =)  

For our first WOW I picked a book that has been on my TBR since last year.   I was lucky enough to  read Daughter of Smoke and Bone early and the wait for the sequel has been excruciating!  To say that is my most anticipated of the year would be a huge understatement.  I can guarantee that the minute I get my hands on Days of Blood and Starlight  I will stop everything else, go hide in a closet, and read it from start to finish. Yes I openly admit that I am obssessed with Laini Taylor's world.  Karou and Akiva are two of my most favorite characters and I have been on the edge of my seat waiting to see what their fate will be. 

Days of Blood and Starlight by Laini Taylor

Publisher: Little Brown, & Company

Release Date: November 6, 2012

Pre-order: Amazon / Barnes and Noble

In this stunning sequel to the highly acclaimed "Daughter of Smoke and Bone," Karou must come to terms with who and what she is, and how far she'll go to avenge her people. Filled with heartbreak and beauty, mysteries and secrets, new characters and old favorites, Days of Blood and Starlight brings the richness, color and intensity of the first book to a brand new canvas.
