This week is a little bit of a cheat : though I had been wishing for this book for a little while, it is in fact already in the mail, so I shouldn’t be wishing for it too long anymore! 🙂 Fingers crossed that it doesn’t get lost or stolen or eaten by a coyote.
Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor
Summary from Goodreads :
Around the world, black handprints are appearing on doorways, scorched there by winged strangers who have crept through a slit in the sky.
In a dark and dusty shop, a devil’s supply of human teeth grown dangerously low.
And in the tangled lanes of Prague, a young art student is about to be caught up in a brutal otherwordly war.
Meet Karou. She fills her sketchbooks with monsters that may or may not be real; she’s prone to disappearing on mysterious “errands”; she speaks many languages–not all of them human; and her bright blue hair actually grows out of her head that color. Who is she? That is the question that haunts her, and she’s about to find out.
When one of the strangers–beautiful, haunted Akiva–fixes his fire-colored eyes on her in an alley in Marrakesh, the result is blood and starlight, secrets unveiled, and a star-crossed love whose roots drink deep of a violent past. But will Karou live to regret learning the truth about herself?
What is at the top of your wishlist right now?
I have to confess that I want this books as well – it’s been getting fabulous reviews everywhere! 🙂
I have read so many positive reviews for this one that my previous indifference has turned into the gimmies. I hope you get this one soon.
Jennifer (An Abundance of Books)
I’ve heard this is great.
They were talking about that book at BEA and they were still talking about it at SIBA – I hope it exceeds your expectations!
After reading The Night Circus, there’s nothing at the top of my wishlist! I’m willing to read anything by Taylor after reading Lips Touch Three Times.
Really looking forward to reading this as well.
