Fragments of the lost

Image
Author: Megan Miranda  Genre: YA Mystery Original publication date: November 2017 Book description:  Jessa Whitworth knew she didn't belong in her ex-boyfriend Caleb's room. But she couldn't deny that she was everywhere: in his photos, his neatly folded T-shirts, even the butterfly necklace in his jeans pocket . . . the one she gave him for safekeeping on that day. His mother asked her to pack up his things, even though she blames Jessa for his accident. How could she say no? And maybe, just maybe, it will help her work through the guilt she feels about their final moments together. But as Jessa begins to box up the pieces of Caleb's life, they trigger memories that make Jessa realize their past relationship may not be exactly as she remembered. And she starts to question whether she really knew Caleb at all. Each fragment of his life reveals a new clue that propels Jessa to search for the truth about Caleb's accident. What really happened on the storm-swept b...

Isaac Asimov suggested reading order:

In the ‘Author’s Note’ at the beginning of Prelude to Foundation, he offered his own reading order – a chronological order, to be precise. I, Robot The Caves of Steel The Naked Sun The Robots of Dawn Robots and Empire The Stars, Like Dust The Currents of Space Pebble in the Sky Prelude to Foundation Forward the Foundation – It was not in Asimov’s list as it had not been written yet, but it’s the right place. Foundation Foundation and Empire Second Foundation Foundation’s Edge Foundation and Earth So as I was doing February TBR I read the very first book, not necessarily due to this article. I picked it up because I found it casually in my used bookstore and I really wanted to start reading a bit from his works. But it worked out fine, we will try to follow this order as well.  So we're adding a new series to the list of series to get to this year. My overall yearly TBR is growing. Earlier this week I finally got the post of the review for I robot. I did pick that book up...

Author: Rick Riordan Series: Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard Genre: Fantasy Original publication date: October 2015 Book description:  Magnus Chase has seen his share of trouble. Ever since that terrible night two years ago when his mother told him to run, he has lived alone on the streets of Boston, surviving by his wits, staying one step ahead of the police and truant officers. One day, he's tracked down by an uncle he barely knows-a man his mother claimed was dangerous. Uncle Randolph tells him an impossible secret: Magnus is the son of a Norse god. The Viking myths are true. The gods of Asgard are preparing for war. Trolls, giants, and worse monsters are stirring for doomsday. To prevent Ragnarok, Magnus must search the Nine Worlds for a weapon that has been lost for thousands of years. When an attack by fire giants forces him to choose between his own safety and the lives of hundreds of innocents, Magnus makes a fatal decision. Sometimes, the only way to start a new ...

The Raven King

Maggie Stiefvater 438 pages Genre: Magical Realism Date First Published: April 2016 Book description: Nothing living is safe.  Nothing dead is to be trusted.  For years,  Gansey has been on a quest to find a lost king.  One by one,  he's drawn others into this quest: Roman, who steals from dreams; Adam,  whose life is no longer his own; Noah,  whose life is no longer a life;  and Blue,  who loves Gansey.... And is certain she is destined to kill him.  Now the endgame has begun.  Dreams and nightmares are converging. Love and loss are inseparable. And the quest refuses to be pinned to a path. Characters: 10.0  The characters are the ones I already adore so I love them all and can't complain much. There is really no character growth throughout the series except for the Raven Boys to grow a little more mature and more sure of their friendship and more self-assured. Plot 10.0 This is the fourth book in the series ...
