Friday Finds (Nov 6)
November 6th, 2009
Friday Finds hosted by Should Be Reading asks us to share what great books we heard about or discovered in the past week. While there are many I could post about I always pick one of my favorites.
This week’s find is a book called Fallen by Lauren Kate which I found on Fantastic Fiction. However it is being released by Delacorte Books on December 8, 2009. Not only do I think it sounds great – I don’t know why but I love books that take place in boarding schools, it also has a fantastically dark cover which I love! Here’s a bit about the book from Fantastic Fiction…
Seventeen-Year-Old Luce is a new student at Sword & Cross, an unwelcoming boarding/reform school in Savannah, Georgia. Luce’s boyfriend died under suspicious circumstances, and now she carries the guilt over his death with her as she navigates the unfriendly halls at Sword & Cross, where every student seems to have an unpleasant – even evil – history.
It’s only when she sees Daniel, a gorgeous fellow student, that Luce feels there’s a reason to be here – though she doesn’t know what it is. And Daniel’s frosty cold demeanor toward her? It’s really a protective device that he’s used again . . . and again. For Daniel is a fallen angel, doomed to fall in love with the same girl every 17 years . . . and watch her die. And Luce is a fellow immortal, cursed to be reincarnated again and again as a mortal girl who has no idea of who she really is.
Looks like this might be a must read for me. How about you – what did you find this week?
This book sounds good! I should consider participating FF.
Wow, I have seen the cover around but first now read a blurb and it sounds great
Wow, sounds good! Great Find
That would be my FF if I were participating. Sounds great, thanks for the blurb!
This certainly does sound like a good book, and this one I probably would not have picked up. Thanks for sharing it Dar!
Great find, Dar…it sounds great!
That is a great cover!
And sounds like a good story too!
I like it. This book is calling out to me.
Interesting cover. Here's my Friday Find, a new Sue Grafton mystery.
I saw Scott Westerfeld talk about his new book Leviathan last night, and it sounds fantastic! That would be my find for this week.
Sounds like a very interesting read, great find :0)
I totally love boarding school themes too Dar. Great Find.
This looks like a great read! I love the cover.
I like books set in boarding schools too!! Could be the whole Harry Potter thing and how I think it would've been cool to go away somewhere for school!!
Great find, and beautiful cover!
