Book Trailer Friday [@AmieKaufman @HarperChildrens @HarperCollinsCh]

Amie Kaufman's Unearthed (written with Meagan Spooner) will be released next Tuesday, but that is not her only early 2018 release, there is also the first book in a new Middle Grade fantasy series, Elementals: Ice Wolves. It's not out until March but you can watch the trailer now:




about Elemental: Ice Wolves (Elementals #1):

Everyone in Vallen knows that ice wolves and scorch dragons are sworn enemies who live deeply separate lives.

So when twelve-year-old orphan Anders takes one elemental form and his twin sister, Rayna, takes another, he wonders whether they are even related. Still, whether or not they’re family, Rayna is Anders’s only true friend. She’s nothing like the brutal, cruel dragons who claimed her as one of their own and stole her away.

In order to rescue her, Anders must enlist at the foreboding Ulfar Academy, a school for young wolves that values loyalty to the pack above all else. But for Anders, loyalty is more complicated than obedience, and friendship is the most powerful shapeshifting force of all.

Top Ten Tuesday: Book Settings to Visit


This week's Ten:
10 Books Settings I Want to Visit


This whole list needs to come with a caveat, though, (it started being for this book then that book then, oh wait, this one, too until it was nearly all of them so instead it's for the list as a whole): I mean parts/places/times where I would not die. Whether it's through some sort of magical, protection bubble or just a fail-safe, definite, not-at-all-able-to-go-wrong escape plan . . . By whatever means I would want to visit these settings if I wouldn't be in mortal danger.



Warcross (#1) by Marie Lu
(probably Tokyo, specifically)



Blacksouls (#2) by Nicole Castroman



This Mortal Coil (#1) by Emily Suvada




These Broken Stars (Starbound #1) by Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner



This Shattered World (Starbound #2) by Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner



A Drop of Night by Stefan Bachmann



Illuminae (#1) by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff



Artemis by Andy Weir



Daughter of the Pirate King (#1) by Tricia Levenseller



Mistletoe & Mr Right by Lyla Payne

Top Ten Tuesday: Books to be Thankful For [j@uliebux @ChessieZappia @MyraMcEntire]


This week's Ten:
10 Books for Which I'm Thankful


When I was just starting one of these books (Not Now, Not Ever - review coming in about an hour!) I got some Huh-Who-Wait-What-Hunh?! news that left me both upset and unsure about a lot of things but it made me realize just how thankful I really am for books that can take my mind off of things and make me happy. (There are definitely the emotional, painful, thought provoking ones, too but for this list I chose the happiness inducing ones.)

Oh, it's also technically more than ten books but some are serious/companions/the same author, so . . .
