Monday Meme:: If You Liked RED QUEEN

(Okay, technically it's a gif)

But NO, not that Red Queen. The novel by Victoria Aveyard that blew apart the NYT Bestseller list early this year. Here are a few picks that'll get you through to the release of Glass Sword in February. 

Princess of Thorns- Stacey Jay: A fast-paced thriller about Sleeping Beauty's daughter, Princess of Thorns is a story about a girl's quest to find her brother and the dangers and adventures in their fairy-tale world that they encounter along the way. To get your copy, click here.

Rook- Sharon Cameron: In a world where history is repeating itself, a deliciously intertwined story about a new French Revolution rears its head. Inspired by The Scarlet Pimpernel, this is the story of a girl who disguises herself to save the innocents locked away by the radical revolutionaries and the friends who help her along the way. I absolutely loved this book, and even though it was a thicker novel, it was well-worth the extra time spent reading it. Click here to check it out! 

I'm only going to give you two, because in all honesty, I believe that Red Queen was so successful because of the difference it had from other popular YA novels. So come into the library, and I can help you find more, but for now, these two should hold you!

Waiting On Wednesday: Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard

“Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly event hosted by Jill over at Breaking The Spine, and it gives you a chance to spotlight a book that you are eagerly waiting to be released.

This week, I picked:

The Red Queen

By Victoria Aveyard

Publication Date: February 10, 2015

From Goodreads:

The poverty stricken Reds are commoners, living under the rule of the Silvers, elite warriors with god-like powers.

To Mare Barrow, a 17-year-old Red girl from The Stilts, it looks like nothing will ever change.

Mare finds herself working in the Silver Palace, at the centre of
those she hates the most. She quickly discovers that, despite her red blood, she possesses a deadly power of her own. One that threatens to destroy Silver control.

But power is a dangerous game. And in this world divided by blood, who will win?

Why I Picked It:

It sounds like a mixture of Cinderella, meets Graceling, meets The Selection, in a brand new world with twists all of its own. This book looks to be a promising start to a riveting new trilogy.
