Prodigy

Marie Lu, author of Legend, which was really good!  And it went by way too fast, I want to read more!  Sorry, got sidetracked there.  Anyway, Marie Lu has announced the title of the next book in the trilogy, which will be Prodigy, and we have to wait a super long time, all the way until January 29th, 2013 for it to come out! 
The first book, Legend, is a dystopian book, and it has a really good plot that I can't tell you about.  Except that I can tell you that it was just getting started in the last book.
So excited!

Palace of Stone and Books in May

Hello!  Bookworm here... again!
So I was looking on Shannon Hale's website (Author of The Goose Girl, Enna Burning, River Secrets, Forest Born, Calamity Jack, Rapunzel's Revenge, and Princess Academy.)  today, and I found out something that made me practically squeal with joy. 
Let me start with this.  I know that most of you have probably read Princess Academy.  In fact, it was probably one of you who told me to read it.  Thank you for doing that.  I love Shannon Hale's books! 
I actually discovered her books when I asked my dad to pick out books for me at the library.  He brought back all of these books, and most of them looked pretty interesting, but The Goose Girl was the one that I started first, and I enjoyed it immensely.  A few years later, I was in the same library again, and I found The Goose Girl for the second time.  I read it again, and then found out that there were three sequels.
Wait, what?  You want to know the news???  Okay, here goes....
Shannon Hale is publishing a SEQUEL to THE PRINCESS ACADEMY!!!   And it comes out on August 21st, of THIS YEAR!!!  I am really looking forward to reading this one.  It is going to be called PALACE OF STONE.
And about books coming out in the near future.... (And when I say near future this time, I actually really mean it!) *= Can put a hold on it! (depending on your library)
