Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo

So I have known about Shadow and Bone for awhile. But I do not know about you guys but I have been fighting starting new series, especially when all of the books are not out yet. Since the second one is out, I figured I would go ahead and start it. I am loving it so far. I am just about 50 pages in, but I think this is one I will fly through just trying to get to Siege and Storm, the next book. Instead of giving you a summary, I thought I would share with you the trailer that was created by the publishing company. It is very well done!!

Enjoy!


Catching Fire Trailer

Most of you know that I am a Hunger Games fan. I was so excited to see the new trailer for Catching Fire come out at Comic Con. I had to make sure all of you caught it..so here you go!! (I am excited to see how close they are sticking to the book. I love her dress!)


Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card

It has been awhile since I have been able to blog. For me, this has been a very weird summer. But, good news, I have been reading. At the push from my husband and many students, I finally finished Ender's Game. It was not what I expected at all. I was think it would be more sci-fi, but it ended up being more psychological.

Summary
Once again, the Earth is under attack. An alien species is poised for a final assault. The survival of humanity depends on a military genius who can defeat the aliens. But who? Ender Wiggin. Brilliant. Ruthless. Cunning. A tactical and strategic master. And a child. Recruited for military training by the world government, Ender's childhood ends the moment he enters his new home: Battle School. Among the elite recruits Ender proves himself to be a genius among geniuses. He excels in simulated war games. But is the pressure and loneliness taking its toll on Ender? Simulations are one thing. How will Ender perform in real combat conditions? After all, Battle School is just a game. Isn't it?

And of course, the movie is coming out. I think it looks awesome!!!
