Bookish News #2

We've been pretty excited this week with news about two of our favourite series.

First our favourite red- haired author- extraordinaire Richelle Mead has posted The Golden Lily book news on her blog, and the 2nd chapter is NOW LIVE!! With only 3 days to go, we are literally jumping up and down with excitement. (I personally can not wait to read about the Russian god again- it's been too long).

Second, Becca Fitzpatrick's fourth and final book of the Hush Hush series has a cover and blurb (the blurb has been taken from Goodreads and may or may not be correct at this time). The Hush Hush saga has (in my opinion) some of the best looking book covers around and from the looks of Finale, the gorgeous covers have continued.

Nora is more certain than ever that she is in love with Patch. Fallen angel or no, he is the one for her. Her heritage and destiny may mean that they will always be enemies, but there is no turning her back on him. But now they face their biggest challenge. Can their love survive a seemingly insurmountable divide. And in the end, will there be enough trust left to rebuild what has been broken? The lines are drawn - but which sides are they on?


Did you notice Patch is WINGLESS!! I wonder what this means? Well, we'll find out October 23rd when Finale hits bookstores. In the mean time, we'd love to know what you think of this cover.

And the Winner of Vampire Bookclub's 2012 Alpha Showdown is...... CURRAN!

Now I'll admit, I'm surprised. Not because Curran doesn't deserve the title, he is after all a Beast Lord, but because I assumed Bones (from Night Huntress series) had a larger following.

If you haven't had the chance to meet the Alpha Curran, what are you waiting for? The Kate Daniels series is an amazing UF read. The world building by Ilona Andrews is phenomenal and the books are action packed, with some smexy scenes and plenty of laugh out loud moments.


There was some exciting news for Jeaniene Frost Fans. Bones may have not have won the title this year BUT what we got instead was the first quote from Once Burned (Vlad's spin off from Night Huntress). We will be getting one a week to the lead up of the release, and the first one can be viewed here. I can't wait to get into Vlad's head. It should be VERY entertaining.

We hope you've enjoyed this weeks Bookish News. Stay tuned for more Bookish News soon.

Bookish News #1

Bookish News is something we have been wanting to do for a while. It'll be our new post discussing a few of the bits of book news released during the week that we were super excited to hear about - teasers, covers reveals, release dates etc.

This time last year, Kim and I were busy voting for our favourite Alphas in Vampire Bookclub's Alpha Showdown. We were extremely excited when our man Barrons (from Karen M Moning's Fever series) took the title last year, and couldn't wait for this years comp to begin. The first round saw Kim and I become frienemies as my beloved Terrible (Stacis Kane's Downside Ghosts) was up against Kim's favourite heroine Kate (Ilona Andrews's Kate Daniels series). After a extremely tight clash, Kate ended up on top and advanced to the next round. Although I was disappointed, I couldn't be too upset as Ilona Andrews posted a snippet from Kate Daniels #6
(To see all the clashes, winners, and to vote, head over to Vampire Bookclub)

So who will win this year? Well, we find out on Monday (Australia's Tuesday), and there's still plenty of time to vote, its Curran (from Kate Daniels) vs Bones (Night Huntress series) but our money is on Bones for the win. (Although I won't be too disappointed if Curran wins: Kim)


Sarah Alderson - author of the amazing Hunting Lila - is posting a new teaser quote from Hunting Lila's sequel (Losing Lila) EVERY SECOND DAY UNTIL RELEASE! I know, I'm still smiling about it! Losing Lila is out in August, that means plenty of teasers to come.
You can catch-up on Sarah's Facebook page  and keep watching for more teasers.



Nalini Singh, one of my absolute favourite Paranormal Romance authors released the first chapter of the next Guild Hunter book - Archangel's Storm. This news wasn't released this week but I couldn't help adding it. Check it out here and don't forget Archangel's Storm hits stores in September.


Eye spy with my little eye, the cover and blurb for House Rules (Chloe Neill's Chicagoland Vampires #7) on goodreads. This excites me considering Biting Cold (CV #6) isn't out yet.

Blurb:

In a city full of vampires, trouble never sleeps.

At the tender age of 27, Merit became a sword-wielding vampire. Since then, she’s become the protector of her House, watched Chicago nearly burn to the ground, and seen her Master fall and rise. Now she’ll see her mettle—and her metal —tested like never before.

It started with two . . . Two rogues vanishing without a trace. Someone is targeting Chicago’s vampires, and anyone could be next. With their house in peril, Merit and her Master, the centuries old Ethan Sullivan, must race to stop the disappearances. But as they untangle a web of secret alliances and ancient evils, they realize their foe is more familiar, and more powerful, than they could have ever imagined


Now whether this blurb and or cover will change, we don't know. But we'll let you know if it does.



Hope you enjoyed this little snippet of book news. We'll be keeping our eyes out for more bookish news, but let us know if you see anything as well.
