Friday Reads #4 - The Forbidden Library by Django Wexler

Look at what arrived this week! After a long time waiting to buy it, and a long time waiting for it to arrive, now I finally have it. So that's what I'll be reading this weekend (I already started, and it's so good :D)

The Forbidden Library (The Forbidden Library #1)

Author: Django Wexler
Genres and Tags: Books about Books, Fantasy, Magic, Adventure, Cats, Library, Children > Middle Grade / Juvenile
Synopsis: The Forbidden Library kicks off a brand new classic fantasy series perfect for fans of Coraline, Inkheart, and The Books of Elsewhere!

Alice always thought fairy tales had happy endings. That—along with everything else—changed the day she met her first fairy.
When Alice's father disappears in a shipwreck, she is sent to live with her uncle Geryon—an uncle she's never heard of and knows nothing about. He lives in an enormous manor with a massive library that is off-limits to Alice. But then she meets a talking cat. And, even for a rule-follower, when a talking cat sneaks you into a forbidden library and introduces you to an arrogant boy who dares you to open a book, it's hard to resist. Especially if you're a reader to begin with. Soon Alice finds herself INSIDE the book, and the only way out is to defeat the creature imprisoned within.

It seems Uncle Geryon is more than he says he is. But then, so is Alice.

Friday Reads - April 17th

This week I read a manga and finished a book. I also started an audio-book.

Soul Eater Not Vol. 1

It's a Soul Eater spin-off, with different characters, but set in the same world. You don't need to read Soul Eater to understand this one, as everything is properly explained. I liked it, and I'll be looking forward to the remaining volumes. It's a short manga and I'd recommend it to everyone who appreciates a manga with humor, magic, and cute girls.
Soul Eater NOT!, Vol. 1

Caught Dead Handed

A cozy mystery book that takes place in Salem. The protagonist is a widow that goes back to Salem for a job interview. But things change and she ends up working as a fake call-in psychic, hosting a late night TV show about old movies and series. I'm a great fan of cozies, and magic and cats, so it was a delightful reading experience :) The second book in the series (Tails, you lose) was just released on March 31st.
Caught Dead Handed (Witch City Mystery, #1)

The Nazad Conspiracy (The Scarifyers S01E01)

This is an audio-book by Big Finish, the first in The Scarifyers series. It features a full-cast, so no narrator just reading the text. We've got a voice actor for each character, music, and sound effects. I'll write more about it when I finish this story (or the first 'season').

Friday Reads 03/27/15

Another weekend coming, another Friday Reads to show what I've done this week. I'm very busy this week, working late but still managed to get some time to read.

I've started reading The Adventure Time with Fionna and Cake, a wonderful comics with the gender-bent characters of Adventure Time. At the same time, I started again (after a loooonnggg pause) reading The Pulp Fiction Megapack. Finished one story, Mistress of Snarling Death, and I'm reading now Fiances for the Devil's Daughter. And I finished the first story arc for Gotham Academy, that concluded on issue #6. It was amazing!!

I bought 2 books for my kindle, a cozy mystery (Caugh Dead Handed - A Witch City Mystery Book #1) and a fantasy/paranormal romance (Fields of Elysium). The first is probably what I'll read after I decide to stop the Pulp Megapack again. The second will be put on a waitlist but was interesting and very cheap, so that's why I bought it!

On a side note, watched the first episode of Star vs the Forces of Evil AND OMG IT'S SO GOOD!!!!

Friday Reads 03/20/15

Hello everyone, welcome to my blog! This is my first post, and I'll be commenting what I read this week, and telling you my plans for the weekend and the next week.

Finished this week

Yesterday I (finally) finished the second book of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series: The Restaurant at the end of the Universe! It's very funny and almost as good as the first one. There are a lot of good jokes, but the plot didn't hook me as the first book in the series. Anyway, I'd give it four stars!

And today I've finished Seraphina. I started it exactly 2 weeks ago and I LOVED it! It has dragons, music, a lovely main character, some (but not too much) romance, intrigue, and mystery. I really recommend it.

Comics

This week I read the second issue of Princess Leia, and I'm loving it! It'll only be five issues, so only three more editions to finish this story. You should all give it a try, at least if you are a Star Wars fan.

What's Next

I'll resume reading Dragonquest, which I stopped some weeks ago, and maybe I'll read one or two stories from The Pulp Fiction Megapack I have o my kindle. About comics, I wish to be able to finish reading Chew - Omnivore Edition Vol. 2. And I'll try to at least start listening to The Scarifyers! Good weekend and good reading to everyone :D
