Hi, this week I will be doing two WoW picks because I was not able to use blogger because of my computer. So here are my two WoW picks...
Title- A Darkness Strange and Lovely
By. Susan Dennard
Released on: July 23, 2013
Summery
With her brother dead and her mother insane, Eleanor Fitt is alone. Even the Spirit-Hunters—Joseph, Jie, and the handsome Daniel—have fled to Paris. So when Eleanor hears the vicious barking of hounds and see haunting yellow eyes, she fears that the Dead, and the necromancer Marcus, are after her.
To escape, Eleanor boards a steamer bound for France. There she meets Oliver, a young man who claims to have known her brother. But Oliver harbors a dangerous secret involving necromancy and black magic that entices Eleanor beyond words. If she can resist him, she’ll be fine. But when she arrives in Paris, she finds that the Dead have taken over, and there’s a whole new evil lurking. And she is forced to make a deadly decision that will go against everything the Spirit-Hunters stand for.
In Paris, there’s a price for this darkness strange and lovely, and it may have Eleanor paying with her life.
My View
I really like the cover, it chic but has a dark side to it. I don't really understand the title, but I guess I will have to read it to find out. The summery is a bit confusing, but I get some things out of it that I like. To me this book sounds like it should be in the 1800 because now a days people do not go insane when someone in there family dies. I do not know if I will get this book, it is very low on my going to read list.
2nd WoW
Title- Just One Day
By. Gayle Forman
Released on: August 20, 2013
Summery
Sheltered and perhaps a tad less than worldly wise, Allyson Healey was a just another young, star-struck American in Paris when she met Willem De Ruiter at an offbeat performance of Twelfth Night. Willem was an actor, relaxed and self-confident; just the type of man who could win the heart of a girl on her first European vacation. For one glorious day, he leads her on a whirlwind tour of the City of the Light; but the next morning, he is gone. Stranded, confused Allyson will not let the matter rest. In the months ahead, she grapples with who he was, where he is, and who she is becoming. A fascinating love story and quest.
My View
The title really got my attention. The cover is so cute! I can not wait to pick this up. I like love stories that end up being quest, it is so romantic! Quests, to me, make the story better. They help the character find some thing that was lost or something forgotten. They always take the character on some many different adventures, sometime, I myself, want to be the character, just to feel what they are feeling! So as you can see I really, really, really want this book now. I can not wait!
