Oh, am I dying to read these!

Guess what?  Today is a day where there are at four books out!  YAY!!!

So...
  • The Rise of Nine by Pittacus Lore
 I know that I am not the only who is waiting for this one.  I remember when the very first book came out, and when the second one did too.  Many of my friends were just as excited as I was.  This is the third  book in the Lorien Legacies series.  The first book is I am Number Four, and has been made into a movie (Which I have not seen yet.  I need to do that.) and the second book is The Power of Six. In I am Number Four, One, Two, and Three are dead.  Four is constantly changing his appearance, changing location, and being chased. I highly recommend this book to anyone that likes action packed sci-fi books.  
  • Palace of Stone by Shannon Hale
When I found out that there was going to be a sequel to Princess Academy, I got so excited!  I love that book!  The writing is beautiful, and the main character, Miri, is truly enjoyable to read about.  She is very brave and cares a lot about her friends and family.  In Princess Academy, the choosing for the princess has been picked to happen where Miri lives, high up in the mountains.  All of the girls in her village are moved to be taught how to be princesses, and eventually one of them will be picked by the princess himself. I recommend this book to anyone that likes fantasy.
  • City of Swords by Mary Hoffman
I stumbled upon the first book in this series years ago in a library.   I was judging books by their covers (bad thing to do) but in this case not a bad decision, as City of Masks has a beautiful cover.  City of Masks is the first book. In it, Lucian a boy who is very sick, finds a mysterious object.  He discovers that if he falls asleep while holding it, he will wake up to find himself in old Italy.   The settings in this series are beautiful and described well. I recommend  this book to anyone that likes fantasy and historical fiction.
  • Heaven by Alexandra Adornetto
Well, this is a tricky one, because I haven't read it, Happygrl has, I think.  So I will let her do the posting about this one.  But I do know that it is the third book in the Halo series, after Halo and Hades.

Also, books that I wasn't able to post about at the time that came out on the fourteenth (And both of them happen to be sitting on my bookshelf waiting for me to read them!  YAY!!!):
  • The Demigod Diaries by Rick Riordan
This book is short story book about the characters in the Percy Jackson series and the Hero of Olympus series. (Both of which are very good and recommended!)  I started this book, and already it is hilarious!  Get ready for many, many laughs.
  • The Kill Order by James Dashner
This is the prequel to The Maze Runner series. (The Maze Runner, The Scorch Trials, The Death Cure)  This book takes place before everything, right as the Flares from the sun have started to hurt the Earth and its population.  I am really hoping that this helps me to understand everything that happened in The Death Cure, because I still have many questions. 

Bye!
