OK, so I got 56 posts in 7 days, I read a good deal, so I'm happy with this week, and I can't wait for the coming week! What about you guys? Happy reading!

So this week I want to read Edgedancer and Oathbringer.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson, a special gift edition of Edgedancer, a short novel of the Stormlight Archive (previously published in Arcanum Unbounded).

Three years ago, Lift asked a goddess to stop her from growing older--a wish she believed was granted. Now, in Edgedancer, the barely teenage nascent Knight Radiant finds that time stands still for no one. Although the young Azish emperor granted her safe haven from an executioner she knows only as Darkness, court life is suffocating the free-spirited Lift, who can't help heading to Yeddaw when she hears the relentless Darkness is there hunting people like her with budding powers. The downtrodden in Yeddaw have no champion, and Lift knows she must seize this awesome responsibility. 
The eagerly awaited sequel to the #1 New York Times bestselling Words of Radiance, from epic fantasy author Brandon Sanderson at the top of his game.

In Oathbringer, the third volume of the New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive, humanity faces a new Desolation with the return of the Voidbringers, a foe with numbers as great as their thirst for vengeance.

Dalinar Kholin's Alethi armies won a fleeting victory at a terrible cost: The enemy Parshendi summoned the violent Everstorm, which now sweeps the world with destruction, and in its passing awakens the once peaceful and subservient parshmen to the horror of their millennia-long enslavement by humans. While on a desperate flight to warn his family of the threat, Kaladin Stormblessed must come to grips with the fact that the newly kindled anger of the parshmen may be wholly justified.

Nestled in the mountains high above the storms, in the tower city of Urithiru, Shallan Davar investigates the wonders of the ancient stronghold of the Knights Radiant and unearths dark secrets lurking in its depths. And Dalinar realizes that his holy mission to unite his homeland of Alethkar was too narrow in scope. Unless all the nations of Roshar can put aside Dalinar's blood-soaked past and stand together--and unless Dalinar himself can confront that past--even the restoration of the Knights Radiant will not prevent the end of civilization.

The Story: I saw Grit on Goodreads, and it sounded good, so when it was on Edelweiss, I got it, read it, and really enjoyed it! I've now enjoyed her other 2 books, and I can't wait to read more of her books!

Week 48 Review: The Missing Season

From Goodreads:
Whenever another kid goes missing in October, the Pender kids know what is really behind it: a horrific monster out in the marshes they have named the Mumbler.

That's what Clara's new crew tells her when she moves to town: Bree and Sage, who take her under their wing; spirited Trace, who has taken the lead on this year's Halloween prank war; and magnetic Kincaid, whose devil-may-care attitude and air of mystery are impossible for Clara to resist.

Clara doesn't actually believe in the Mumbler. But as Halloween gets closer and tensions build in the town, it's hard to shake the feeling that there really is something dark and dangerous in Pender, lurking in the shadows, waiting to bring the stories to life.

My Review:
This book was really great to read! I loved the atmosphere, it was dark and spooky, and I wanted to know what the heck was going on, if there was something supernatural going on with the Mumbler, or it was a Scooby mystery kind of situation.

A good part of this book was Clara's relationships with Bree and Sage, as well as Kincaid. Which causes problems because she's not the only one with feelings for him. And it's complicated by how mysterious Kincaid is, he definitely has some secrets that Clara discovers!

But because of her relationship with Kincaid, well, it does muck things up in her relationship with Bree, because they both did have a crush on him at first. And sure, Clara did go about things the wrong way, but Bree, he's a guy, he's not worth messing up a friendship, no matter how new. I'm glad that they made up in the end!

There were mentions of the bad guy before we knew to connect him to being the bad guy. But I wish we could've had a little bit more that could've hinted to it, so I could look back and say, yeah, this was set up. But I guess it wasn't really that kind of mystery.

I really enjoyed this book, it was a really great read!

Week 48 Review: The Lies They Tell

From Goodreads:
Everyone in Tenney's Harbor, Maine, has heard of the Garrison tragedy. A mysterious fire. A family of five reduced to one. For people like Pearl Haskins—whose dad was the caretaker of the Garrison property when the house went up in flames—the whispers about that night are more than upsetting. They hurt. With her disgraced father now trying to find steady work in between booze benders, Pearl is stuck waiting tables at the town's country club where the rich townspeople come in the summer to flaunt their money and gossip about one another.

This year, a group of privileged boys has made a point of sitting in Pearl's section—throwing careless insults her way while also attempting to flirt. Though she's repulsed by everything they stand for, she's drawn to the quiet leader of the pack, Tristan—the last surviving Garrison. He wasn't home the night a blaze took his entire family, and the sadness coming off him in waves is hard to ignore. Befriending the summer boys might irk her to her core, but inside their fold of elite parties and reckless whims could be answers to what happened the night of the fire. And that's just what she finds.

Hidden beneath the glittering façade of wealth and luxury, Pearl discovers a dark and twisted web of lies and betrayals that, once untangled, will leave no life in Tenney's Harbor unchanged. That is…if it doesn't take Pearl's first.

My Review:
This book was a really fantastic read. I loved watching Pearl fall into the group of summer boys, to see their life of luxury, to infiltrate them, to find out what happened that winter night. I loved seeing the different dynamics between her and the boys! 

I totally get Peral's instinct to investigate. Her father was blamed, and he's spiraled ever since. It did cause friction with her best friend, with whom she'd like to have more, but he has a girlfriend. And Pearl's in is basically dating one of the summer boys. So it's complicated, especially with Tristan being so enigmatic and compelling. 

A big part of this book is that Pearl is a townie girl, and the boys are Summer boys, the rich kids that come there every summer to vacation. And I've read a book like that before (I really need to reread Tourist Trap by Emma Harrison) but that was a lighter book. This book has murder in it. So the stakes are higher. Though they both have the element of summer boys using townie girls.

Man, I was not expecting that ending! I mean, there had been something charismatic and strange about him, but I didn't think that it would grow and become what it did! And on top of that, this isn't a happy ending regarding any romance, which was different, and I'm glad for that! 

This was such a great read, and I enjoyed it so much!

Week 19 Review: Grit

From Goodreads:
Raw and moving, this contemporary realistic debut novel will leave readers of E. Lockhart and Gayle Forman breathless as it unflinchingly unfolds the tragic secrets being kept in a small, deceptively idyllic Maine town.

Seventeen-year-old Darcy Prentiss has long held the title of "town slut." She knows how to have a good time, sure, but she isn't doing anything all the guys haven’t done. But when you're a girl with a reputation, every little thing that happens seems to keep people whispering—especially when your ex-best friend goes missing.

But if anyone were to look closer at Darcy, they'd realize there's a lot more going on beneath the surface. Staying out late, hooking up, and telling lies is what Darcy does to forget. Forget about the mysterious disappearance of her friend. Forget about the dark secret she and her cousin Nell share. Forget about that hazy Fourth of July night. So when someone in town anonymously nominates Darcy to be in the running for Bay Festival Princess—a cruel act only someone with a score to settle would make—all of the things that Darcy wants to keep hidden threaten to erupt in ways she wasn't prepared to handle…and isn't sure if she can. 

My Review:
This book was really great to read! It was totally dark and awesome! We knew something was going on, with the mentions of secrets and disappearances and such. But it took some time to learn what those things were!

First off, to call a girl a slut, when all she is doing is the same as what a boy is doing, is horrible. Besides the fact that name calling is awful, that's very hypocritical, though girls can be much harsher on other girls than boys!

I felt bad for Darcy, she's had it tough between her dad, her family life, and the way that people treat her because of her reputation, one that's not really earned. She has some pretty close bonds with her sister and cousin, which was really great!

The whole Bay Festival Princess, and the set up that nominated Darcy, I was wary alongside Darcy. There were all the secrets hidden, and then there was her budding relationship with Jesse, well, yeah, she had a lot going on! And how things came together, well, better than how things were, but yeah, the way people can treat others is pretty horrible!

I enjoyed reading this book so much, it was just so great! Loved reading it!
