Waiting on Wednesday #706, November 20th

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating! 
 
Wind and Truth by Brandon Sanderson
Expected Publication: December 6th, 2024
From Goodreads:
The long-awaited explosive climax to the first arc of the #1 New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive―the iconic epic fantasy masterpiece that has sold more than 10 million copies, from acclaimed bestselling author Brandon Sanderson.

Dalinar Kholin challenged the evil god Odium to a contest of champions with the future of Roshar on the line. The Knights Radiant have only ten days to prepare―and the sudden ascension of the crafty and ruthless Taravangian to take Odium’s place has thrown everything into disarray.

Desperate fighting continues simultaneously worldwide―Adolin in Azimir, Sigzil and Venli at the Shattered Plains, and Jasnah at Thaylen City. The former assassin, Szeth, must cleanse his homeland of Shinovar from the dark influence of the Unmade. He is accompanied by Kaladin, who faces a new battle helping Szeth fight his own demons . . . and who must do the same for the insane Herald of the Almighty, Ishar.

At the same time, Shallan, Renarin, and Rlain work to unravel the mystery behind the Unmade Ba-Ado-Mishram and her involvement in the enslavement of the singer race and in the ancient Knights Radiants killing their spren. And Dalinar and Navani seek an edge against Odium’s champion that can be found only in the Spiritual Realm, where memory and possibility combine in chaos. The fate of the entire Cosmere hangs in the balance.

Just one book, because this book is special, and yeah, I'm so freaking excited for this book! What about you guys? Happy reading!

Thanks to MizB of Should Be Writing now A Daily Rhythm for starting this meme! And thanks now to Taking on a World of Words for reviving it!

Teaser Tuesday #710, November 19th

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by Ambrosia of The Purple Booker. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
  • Grab your current read
  • Open to a random page
  • Share two (2) "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page
  • BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn't give too much away! You don't want to ruin the book for others!)
  • Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
Today's teaser comes from The Giant by Lex Thomas, page 24.

"It wasn't easy to follow the girl through the aluminum air ducts in total darkness, without her noticing, but Gonzalo managed. The ducts were dusty, riddled with dead bugs and what he assumed were cobwebs collecting on his face and hands."

That sounds very atmospheric! Must read more now! What about you guys? Happy reading!

Wheel of TBR #234, November 17th

I saw Codie's Book Corner doing the Wheel of TBR, and I thought that sounded like a great way to pick what to read from your TBR. So thanks to her! I'll only do 3 spins, because I'm doing this every week, and so it won't make up my total TBR of the week, but it'll be a start!

Rules:
1. For each week of the month, I'll do 3 spins each week to read each week though I do have the rest of the month to read them. Once a prompt is used, I'll randomly choose one from the list, keeping track of how often a colour comes up. If colour comes up 3 or more times in month, I'll do another spin once it comes up 3 times.
2. If I don't read a book that week or at least start it before the end of the month, then for my next week of spins, I have to add a punishment for each book unread. I'll roll for each unread book, and have to apply each and every punishment chosen to the week.
3. Each month I'll get a prompt from my Binge Read Wheel (either specifically picking the prompt, or spinning the wheel) and I have to read at least 9 books, though I can read more!

Of the books from the last week, I read Games Untold by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, The Possessed by Marjorie M. Liu, Illustrated by Sana Takeda, Fragments of the Lost by Megan Miranda.

Binge Read Wheel:
For this month, I chose ARC's. I read The Sharp Edge of Silence by Cameron Kelly Rosenblum, How to Summon a Fairy Godmother by Laura J. Mayo, The Death King by Penelope Barsetti, The Bones Beneath My Skin by T.J. Klune, Saints of Storms and Sorrows by Gabriella Buba, Spy×Family 13 by Tatsuya Endo, The Saints by Lex Thomas, The Burnouts by Lex Thomas, Us in Ruins by Rachel Moore, so I've read 22/9+.

Prompts Used This Week:
Series Name, A-Z End Title, Series Started and Unfinished/Current 2021.

Series Name-Violet-S-Family Portrait by Aya Yajima and Tatsuya Endo-This is a part of the Spy×Family, which starts with S! 

A-Z End Title-Cyan-C-Pure Magic by A.S. Fenichel-Magic ends with C, so I'll read that! 

Series Started and Unfinished/Current 2021-Yellow-Lore Olympus, Volume 7 by Rachel Smythe-I started and stayed current with the Lore Olympus series in 2021, so that works!

Colour Totals:
Red: 1
Orange: 0
Yellow: 1
Chartreuse: 0
Green: 0
Spring Green: 1
Cyan: 2
Azure: 1
Blue: 0 
Violet: 1
Magenta: 0
Rose: 2

Prompts for Next Week:
Library Book-Red
YA Oldie-Orange
Ebook-Yellow
Reading Challenge Prompt-Chartreuse
Word-Green
New Author-Spring Green
ARC Book to Read in 2023-Cyan
Read a Book in the Same Place-Azure
A-Z Random-Blue
Steal a Book-Violet

So those are some of the books I'm going to try to read this week. What about you guys? Happy reading!

Week 46 Reviews: The Saints, The Burnouts


From Goodreads:
A cross between the Gone series and "Lord of the Flies," Quarantine #2: The Saints contunues this frenetically paced and scary young adult series that illustrates just how deadly high school can be.

Nothing was worse than being locked in--until they opened the door...

McKinley High has been a battle ground for eighteen months since a virus outbreak led to a military quarantine of the school. When the doors finally open, Will and Lucy will think their nightmare is finished. But they are gravely mistaken.

As a new group of teens enters the school and gains popularity, Will and Lucy join new gangs. An epic party on the quad full of real food and drinks, where kids hookup and actually interact with members of other gangs seemed to signal a new, easier existence. Soom after though, the world inside McKinley takes a startling turn for the worse, and Will and Lucy will have to fight harder than ever to survive.

The Saints brings readers back to the dark and deadly halls of McKinley High and the QUARANTINE series.

From Goodreads:
Lord of the Flies in a 21st-century high school setting.Welcome to Quarantine 3: The Burnouts , where readers of The Maze Runner, Gone, and Divergent go when they're hungry for more dark, compelling survival stories.

When an explosion rocks David and Will's suburban high school one morning, a deadly virus is unleashed on the school. After a year of quarantine, with no adults around, the students have created their own society. All of the social cliques have developed into gangs-The Nerds, The Geeks, The Freaks, The Sluts, The Skaters, The Burnouts, The Pretty Ones, and The Varsity-and each gang provides a service with which they can barter for provisions. Without a gang, it's almost impossible to secure food, water, territory, or supplies. In the final installment in the Quarantine trilogy, Lucy is left inside and taken in by the lowest of the low-the Burnouts before Will and David return to try to rescue her.

My Review:
I absolutely loved reading these volumes! I've really fallen in love with this series, I adore this cobbled together family with the secrets that they're keeping, and the shenanigans that they get into! It's over the top, and just a delight to read these stories! 

A lot happens in these volumes, from the boat trip that's a won vacation for Loid and Anya, and a work trip for Yor to protect a lady, where Yor figures out why she does what she does. We also see Loid as a child, and why he's trying so hard to prevent war, and I loved getting that backstory. 

Of course there's also developments in Project Strix, between another Tonitrus Bolt but also another Stella Star, because of her actions when their school bus is hijacked. Her back and forth with Damien, which Anya becomes more invested in after Yor meets Mrs. Donovan, which was pretty interesting. Her interactions, and the times that we got her thoughts, she seems pretty complex. 

And then there was volume 12, with the stolen data, and that cliffhanger ending. I loved being able to go straight to volume 13, it was just so good! Loved how it was resolved, that was pretty intense! And so well done, I just had to keep reading! 

One of my favourite moments is when Damian tries to give Anya the cake that he thinks that she wants because of an early misunderstanding. That she also now wants the cake? Yeah, that was fun, and watching his henchmen, and Becky, chase the pair, was so hilarious! Especially with how it ended, that was so cute! 

These were so great to read and I can't wait for more, that ending of volume 13 is another cliffhanger, I need to know!
