Weekly Reading List #168

By Cynthia Bujnicki

Hey there avid readers! I hope everyone is having a wonderful week. It’s been a little chilly and wet here in the usually sunny South Florida. Personally, I love it. I’m from Boston so I would. I like the break from the sunny weather. Anyway, been feeling under the weather so I’m already falling behind in all my work if you can believe it. But I have 3 days off this week so I’m gonna try to catch up and read and write as much as I possibly can…until Kingdom Hearts 3 comes out anyway. I have that preordered and have been waiting for it for forever. So yes, that video game is going to take up a bunch of my time.

1. The Storyteller (The Reader Trilogy #3)

by Traci Chee

Sefia is determined to keep Archer out of the Guard’s clutches and their plans for war between the Five Kingdoms. The Book, the ancient, infinite codex of the past, present and future, tells of a prophecy that will plunge Kelanna in that bloody war, but it requires a boy—Archer—and Sefia will stop at nothing to ensure his safety. The Guard has already stolen her mother, her father, and her Aunt Nin. Sefia would sooner die than let them take anymore from her—especially the boy she loves.

But escaping the Guard and the Book’s prophecy is no easy task. After all, what is written always comes to pass. As Sefia and Archer watch Kelanna start to crumble to the Guard’s will, they will have to choose between their love and joining a war that just might tear them apart.

2. Zenith Dream (Broken Moon #3)

by F.T. Lukens

Despite the opportunity to disappear, Ren is determined to fix his mistakes. He convinces the crew to join him for one last mission—find Asher, free Liam, and escape from the Corps’ reach. But a war is brewing between two formidable armies, and, despite his wish to flee, Ren is drawn into the conflict. With his friends by his side, Ren must make a choice, and it will affect the future of his found family and the cluster forever.

Now Tiger must summon all her gifts to stop those responsible for both atrocities—no matter the cost to herself…
