Monday Book Recommendations: The Lynburn Legacy by Sarah Rees Brennan

Publicado por Lina Jiménez en 21:30 0 comentarios
                                 

Monday is the day I choose what new books I’m going to start reading but I have so many books in my To Read Pile that sometimes it’s hard to choose so I have decided that on Monday mornings I’ll recommend some  of  my favorite books.


Title: Unspoken 
Series: The Lynburn Legacy #1
Author: 0
Date Published: September 11th 2011
Publisher: Random House Books for Young Readers

 Kami Glass loves someone she’s never met . . . a boy she’s talked to in her head ever since she was born. She wasn’t silent about her imaginary friend during her childhood, and is thus a bit of an outsider in her sleepy English town of Sorry-in-the-Vale. Still, Kami hasn’t suffered too much from not fitting in. She has a best friend, runs the school newspaper, and is only occasionally caught talking to herself. Her life is in order, just the way she likes it, despite the voice in her head.


But all that changes when the Lynburns return.

The Lynburn family has owned the spectacular and sinister manor that overlooks Sorry-in-the-Vale for centuries. The mysterious twin sisters who abandoned their ancestral home a generation ago are back, along with their teenage sons, Jared and Ash, one of whom is eerily familiar to Kami. Kami is not one to shy away from the unknown—in fact, she’s determined to find answers for all the questions Sorry-in-the-Vale is suddenly posing. Who is responsible for the bloody deeds in the depths of the woods? What is her own mother hiding? And now that her imaginary friend has become a real boy, does she still love him? Does she hate him? Can she trust him? 


Title: Untold
Series: The Lynburn Legacy#2 
Author:  Sarah Rees Brennan
Date Published:August 29th 2013
Publisher: Simon & Schuster UK 

It's time to choose sides.... 


On the surface, Sorry-in-the-Vale is a sleepy English town. But Kami Glass knows the truth. Sorry-in-the-Vale is full of magic. In the old days, the Lynburn family ruled with fear, terrifying the people into submission in order to kill for blood and power. Now the Lynburns are back, and Rob Lynburn is gathering sorcerers so that the town can return to the old ways.

But Rob and his followers aren’t the only sorcerers in town. A decision must be made: pay the blood sacrifice, or fight. For Kami, this means more than just choosing between good and evil. With her link to Jared Lynburn severed, she’s now free to love anyone she chooses. But who should that be?

A darkly humorous take on Gothic romance, Sarah Rees Brennan's Lynburn Legacy weaves together the tale of a heroine desperate to protect those she loves, two boys hoping to be saved, and the magical forces that will shape their destiny.



Title: Unmade
Series: The Lynburn Legacy #3
Author: Sarah Rees Brennan
Date Published: September 22nd 2015
Publisher: Random House Books for Young Readers 

Powerful love comes with a price. Who will be the sacrifice?


Kami has lost the boy she loves, is tied to a boy she does not, and faces an enemy more powerful than ever before. With Jared missing for months and presumed dead, Kami must rely on her new magical link with Ash for the strength to face the evil spreading through her town.

Rob Lynburn is now the master of Sorry-in-the-Vale, and he demands a death. Kami will use every tool at her disposal to stop him. Together with Rusty, Angela, and Holly, she uncovers a secret that might be the key to saving the town. But with knowledge comes responsibility—and a painful choice. A choice that will risk not only Kami’s life, but also the lives of those she loves most.

This final book in the Lynburn Legacy is a wild, entertaining ride from beginning to shocking end.

Well my family and I have full schedules so there's no time for cooking because of that my parents pay a guy named Caesar that owns a local restaurant to make our meals so I would love to have his cooking for life seeing that he already feeds me Monday through Friday.

Inborn by Amy Saunders Book Blitz

Publicado por Lina Jiménez en 21:30 0 comentarios

























Inborn
(The Birthright Book 1)




Release
Date: 07/21/15





Summary
from Goodreads:


Rosamund Brandt has had a semi normal
life for sixteen years. Well, semi normal for a family descended from aliens.
Sure, she could create portals and her family had a secret basement. But she
went to school, had a best friend, and got her driving permit like every other
teen.

However, her definition of “normal” unravels when a killer with multiple powers
and an agenda steps into town. When Rosamund herself becomes a target, she has
a choice between playing the killer’s game and saving a few, or getting to the
core of the murders and stopping them for good.

Rosamund’s choice will save everyone she cares about–or unleash a new era for
herself and her family, shattering whatever hope for going back to normal she
had.

About the Author

I’ve
always loved stories. From bedtime tales my parents told me about their
childhood (over and over again) to the Berenstain Bears, I lived to hear the
next story.


So
I guess it’s not surprising that I came up with my own stories and started
putting them on paper as soon as I could write. I remember carting notebooks
with me to school and working whenever I had the chance (some things don’t
really change). Later, I branched out into poetry and plays and experimental
works, but I always came back to stories.


Weirdly
enough, even though I loved mysteries and sci-fi/fantasy, I focused on writing
literary short stories for several years. But everything
changed when I wrote my first novel as a challenge in 2009. Not only was
it a novel, but it was also a mystery (actually, it’s what became The
Jester’s Apprentice
). I was hooked, and over the last few years, novel
writing has grown into a full-time pursuit. (According to my sister, I talk
waaayyy too much to write short stories.)



Beyond
writing, I’m a Massachusetts native with strong ties to the Rhode Island coast,
and I love to bake, watch movies, and tackle graphic/web design projects.
