Waiting on Wednesday: March 2, 2016

Waiting on Wednesday is a meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that everyone’s excited about.

The people of Nelebek live in fear of persecution from the evil Morlet, who reigns with a dark and destructive magic. The kingdom’s only hope lies with the Order of the Krigers—twelve warriors with mysterious powers linked to magical weapons. 

For over a century, Morlet has been annihilating the Order, picking them off one by one. Eleven Krigers have been hunted down, tortured, and imprisoned in his dungeon. Now, only one remains.

Sixteen-year-old Kaia survives by keeping her head down and minding her own business. But when she finds herself in the middle of a public execution where the mysterious Morlet is in attendance, an odd compulsion she can’t resist comes over her. 

Kaia looks into Morlet’s eyes.

Soon, an ancient power awakens and Kaia can no more blend into the scenery. Will she heed the call of the Krigers or will Morlet’s dark magic destroy the last of the Order?

Top 5 Wednesday: Biggest Book Hangovers

Biggest Book Hangovers

Top 5 Wednesday #T5W is a goodreads group that was created by Lainey @gingerreadslainey. This weeks topic is your biggest book hangovers. I don't really remember that many of these but I do have a few. 

5. Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

After I finished this book for the first time, I was in awful denial. Like how could all of these horrible things have happened and why was I in tears. I had an awful time picking up another book but I did quicker than I thought as I couldn't stay away from books that long. 

4. The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan

That cliffhanger killed me and I didn't want to pick up another book until the next book was safely in my hands. 

3. Cinder by Marissa Meyer

I loved this book so much that I refused to read anything else until I had at least read the second book and that is basically what I did. 

2. Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard

For a couple of days I did not want to read anything else as this book had overwhelmed me in more ways than one. It was shocking, emotional and beautiful and I couldn't properly read another book for a little while.

1. The Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling

This is such an obvious one as it is on almost everyone's list. This one gave me such a book hangover. I don't know how long it was until I properly read and enjoyed a book. I'm guessing it was around a month or so. 

That's all for today's Top 5! What are yours?
