Hello! Many of you have probably heard someone in the book blogging or booktubing circuit talk about Alexandra Bracken’s new novel Passenger . Everyone is raving about, praising it as another one of Bracken’s great books, but are these praises earned? In one devastating night, violin prodigy Etta Spencer loses everything she knows and loves. Thrust into an unfamiliar world by a stranger with a dangerous agenda, Etta is certain of only one thing: she has traveled not just miles but years from home. And she’s inherited a legacy she knows nothing about from a family whose existence she’s never heard of. Until now. Nicholas Carter is content with his life at sea, free from the Ironwoods—a powerful family in the colonies—and the servitude he’s known at their hands. But with the arrival of an unusual passenger on his ship comes the insistent pull of the past that he can’t escape and the family that won’t let him go so easily. Now the Ironwoods are searching for a stolen object of un...

Since I had been posting updates for Bout of Books all last week I never actually got a chance to post a book haul from after Christmas, so her goes nothing! Are you tired of me talking about this book yet? Well sorry… I bought it while I was strolling through Barnes and Noble after Christmas. The cover caught my eye because it had the abandoned New York City Hall subway station on it— after that I couldn’t help but buy the book. Most of you probably know that I’ve already read Lair of Dreams now and there will be a review coming soon! I have been looking forward to this book since it was originally announced! I have been a fan of Alexandra Bracken’s novels since The Darkest Minds series so I have high expectations for Passenger . What I’ve read of it as of now is really good so I am excited to continue reading and see where the story goes. Plus… DO YOU SEE THAT COVER? IT’S GORGEOUS! Yes, I bought the new covers of The Infernal Devices ! I actually had only owned...

Bout of Books has now come to a close this weekend! This post will be an update for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday all together since I was busy all weekend and didn’t get to post an update until now. I did still get to read this weekend though, just not as much as during the week. On Friday and Saturday I read the last 100 pages of Lair of Dreams which I really enjoyed. Look forward to a review on that coming later this week! Today I started reading Passenger by Alexandra Bracken and read 50 pages. I am extremely excited to continue reading this book because just the few pages that I have read have already gripped me and pulled me into the action— I can’t wait to keep reading! How did Bout of Books go for you (if you participated)? What are you currently reading? Keep Reading… Meagan!

Another day of the Bout of Books read-a-thon has now flew by! Day two was another success for me since I read another 100 pages of Lair of Dreams ! I am now about halfway through the book and hope the finish it around Thursday! I want to try and step up my reading tomorrow so I can make that goal then start Passenger by Alexandra Bracken. Are you participating in the Bout of Books Read-a-thon? What are you currently reading? Keep Reading… Meagan!

Hello guys! Recently Entertainment Weekly revealed the cover for Alexandra Bracken’s new upcoming book, Passenger ! Violin prodigy Etta Spencer had big plans for her future, but a tragic accident has put her once-bright career at risk. Closely tied to her musical skill, however, is a mysterious power she doesn't even know she has. When her two talents collide during a stressful performance, Etta is drawn back hundreds of years through time. Etta wakes,confused and terrified, in 1776, in the midst a fierce sea battle. Nicholas Carter, the handsome young prize master of a privateering ship, has been hired to retrieve Etta and deliver her unharmed to the Ironwoods, a powerful family in the Colonies—the very same one that orchestrated her jump back, and one Nicholas himself has ties to. But discovering she can time travel is nothing compared to the shock of discovering the true reason the Ironwoods have snared her in their web. Another traveler has stolen an object of unto...
