I'm so sorry for the lack of posts again this week - I'm drowning in uni work at the moment! I promise I'll try and get back on track in the next two weeks.

The
Declaration – Gemma
Malley
When you can live for ever by taking a tablet...
When no one needs to die...
Ann Covey should never have been born.
Sixteen-year-old Anna lives in a brutal, oppressive
Surplus hall. She obeys all the rules and accepts her own fate – watching her
masters achieve eternal life by the power of a pill called Longevity. But then
a new inmate arrives. Mysterious, enigmatic and dangerous, he turns Anna’s
solitary world upside down. Is she brave enough to believe that one Surplus
girl and a boy who breaks the rules can change the world for ever?
Thank
you Bloomsbury! I’ve been dying to get my hands on this series for a long time
and now I have the whole trilogy with their gorgeous new covers!
I
don’t want to write up the summaries of the next two books in case of spoilers,
but here’s what they look like!
The Girl
Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making – Catherynne M Valente
September is a twelve-year-old girl from Omaha. Her
dad is fighting in a faraway war, her mum is always out at work, and September
in stuck in a lonely, adventureless rut. So when the Green Wind arrives at her
window and invites her to Fairyland, she accepts in a flash. (Mightn’t you?)
But Fairyland is in crisis and confusion, crushed
by the iron rule of the villainous Marquess – and September alone holds the key
to restoring order. Well! She knows what a girl with a quest must do: she sets
out to Fix Things.
With a book-loving dragon and a mysterious boy
named Saturday by her side, September faces peril and pandemonium; loses her
shadow, her shoe and her way – and finds a great deal more besides. But time is
short, and time is ticking, and every story must have an ending. Can September
save Fairyland? Cab she even save herself?
I’ve
been dying to read this for ages! Thanks, Corsair!

The Declaration cover kind of reminds me of The Hunger Games adult editions and the new Divergent one. Hm. And The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making sounds lovely, enjoy :)
ReplyDeleteI got The Declaration too, I can't wait to read it :D Fairyland is fab, enjoy :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my IMM! Declaration looks great, enjoy! New follower =)
ReplyDeleteThe Girl who Circumvented Fairyland looks so adorable! I've heard about that book before and the general consensus seems to be that it's great. I love the cover, too. Enjoy all of your new books! (:
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland, but I'm definitely intrigued.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of either of these but The Declaration sounds good. And I love the name September from The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making. And yeah, I hope Carnival of Souls lives up to all of the hype. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThe Declaration series covers are gorgeous! You and Raimy have got them, I'm a little jealous
