Currently Reading

I actually prefer reading one book at the time, but somehow this isn't working right now and since I'm new and everything I thought I should post what I'm currently reading

Rebel Spring Cover

Rebel Spring (Falling Kingdoms 2)- Morgan Rhodes
*SPOILERS IF YOU DIDN'T READ THE FIRST BOOK*

Goodreads Description
"Love, power, and magic collide with war in the second book of the Falling Kingdoms series

Auranos has fallen and the three kingdoms—Auranos, Limeros, and Paelsia—are now united as one country called Mytica. But still, magic beckons, and with it the chance to rule not just Mytica, but the world...
When the evil King Gaius announces that a road is to be built into the Forbidden Mountains, formally linking all of Mytica together, he sets off a chain of events that will forever change the face of this land, forcing Cleo the dethroned princess, Magnus the reluctant heir, Lucia the haunted sorceress, and Jonas the desperate rebel to take steps they never could have imagined."

 I'm halfway through it and so far I pretty like it. I'm pretty sure I will review it when I'm done, whenever that will be, because for some reason I'm very slowly with this one.

The Red Pyramid Cover

The Red Pyramid- Rick Riordan

Goodreads Description
"Since their mother's death, Carter and Sadie have become near strangers. While Sadie has lived with her grandparents in London, her brother has traveled the world with their father, the brilliant Egyptologist, Dr. Julius Kane. 

One night, Dr. Kane brings the siblings together for a "research experiment" at the British Museum, where he hopes to set things right for his family. Instead, he unleashes the Egyptian god Set, who banishes him to oblivion and forces the children to flee for their lives. 
Soon, Sadie and Carter discover that the gods of Egypt are waking, and the worst of them —Set— has his sights on the Kanes. To stop him, the siblings embark on a dangerous journey across the globe - a quest that brings them ever closer to the truth about their family and their links to a secret order that has existed since the time of the pharaohs."

Well, I actually don't know if that counts, because I'm listening to the audiobook. I really like it, but so far the series with Percy Jackson are my favorites by Rick Riordan.

Poison Study Cover

Poison Study- Maria V. Snyder

Goodreads Description
  "Choose: A quick death…Or slow poison...

About to be executed for murder, Yelena is offered an extraordinary reprieve. She'll eat the best meals, have rooms in the palace—and risk assassination by anyone trying to kill the Commander of Ixia.
And so Yelena chooses to become a food taster. But the chief of security, leaving nothing to chance, deliberately feeds her Butterfly's Dust—and only by appearing for her daily antidote will she delay an agonizing death from the poison.
As Yelena tries to escape her new dilemma, disasters keep mounting. Rebels plot to seize Ixia and Yelena develops magical powers she can't control. Her life is threatened again and choices must be made. But this time the outcomes aren't so clear..."

I am reading Poison Study with a friend. I am at the very beginning and it seems just like the kind of series I love. I'm still wondering if Valek is too old to be a love interest...

A Dance with Dragons Cover

 A Dance with Dragons (A Song of Ice and Fire 5)- George R. R. Martin
*SPOILERS IF YOU DIDN'T READ BOOKS 1-4*

Goodreads Description
 "In the aftermath of a colossal battle, the future of the Seven Kingdoms hangs in the balance — beset by newly emerging threats from every direction. In the east, Daenerys Targaryen, the last scion of House Targaryen, rules with her three dragons as queen of a city built on dust and death. But Daenerys has thousands of enemies, and many have set out to find her. As they gather, one young man embarks upon his own quest for the queen, with an entirely different goal in mind.

Fleeing from Westeros with a price on his head, Tyrion Lannister, too, is making his way to Daenerys. But his newest allies in this quest are not the rag-tag band they seem, and at their heart lies one who could undo Daenerys's claim to Westeros forever.
Meanwhile, to the north lies the mammoth Wall of ice and stone — a structure only as strong as those guarding it. There, Jon Snow, 998th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, will face his greatest challenge. For he has powerful foes not only within the Watch but also beyond, in the land of the creatures of ice.
From all corners, bitter conflicts reignite, intimate betrayals are perpetrated, and a grand cast of outlaws and priests, soldiers and skinchangers, nobles and slaves, will face seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Some will fail, others will grow in the strength of darkness. But in a time of rising restlessness, the tides of destiny and politics will lead inevitably to the greatest dance of all."

Well what can I say. I love A Song of Ice and Fire as much as the tv show Game of Thrones. Season 4 just started and therefor I started with the fifth book. But I am so slowly with this series, so I'll probably not finish this until Season 4 is over again.


So, this are the four main books I'm reading right now and I actually like all of them, so that's great. You'll hear soon from me again (hopefully) :)
