Moon Chosen (Tales of a New World, #1) by P.C. Cast

Slowly making my way through this book, as I haven’t really been reading a whole bunch the past few days. I felt like I needed to take a little step back before I read myself right into a dreaded reading slump. I’m only about 100 pages into this, but I’m enjoying it so far.

Chosen to embrace her true identity. Chosen to follow her destiny. Chosen to change her world.

Mari is an Earth Walker, heir to the unique healing powers of her Clan, but she has been forced to turn from her duties, until she is chosen by a special animal ally, altering her destiny forever. When a deadly attack tears her world apart, Mari reveals the strength of her powers and the forbidden secret of her dual nature as she embarks on a mission to save herself and her people. It is not until Nik, the son of the leader from a rival, dominating Tribe, strays across her path that Mari experiences something she has never felt before…

Now evil is coming, and with it, a force more terrible and destructive than the world has ever seen, leaving Mari to cast the shadows from the earth. By breaking Clan Law and forming an alliance with Nik, she must make herself ready. Ready to save her people. Ready to save herself and Nik. Ready to embrace her true destiny…and battle the forces that threaten to destroy them all.

I’m also still reading Jill’s debut book, Corrupt Me. I haven’t read any more of it since this weekend, as I’m waiting for my physical copy that she sent me to arrive! It’s supposed to be here tomorrow and I am soooooo thrilled! That girl is such an awesome person and one of my besties. You should all go check out her blog at Rant and Rave About Books!

What did you recently finish reading?

The Secret History by Donna Tartt

This one was enjoyable, even if all of the characters were extremely dislikable – pretty sure that was the point, too. I liked how you start off knowing who’s the murderer and who was killed, and then going back to tell the story of how and why. It was an interesting story, if completely unrealistic. Come on, no college kids are actually like that and I don’t care if it even was the 80’s! I should have a full review up tomorrow for this one.

Under the influence of their charismatic classics professor, a group of clever, eccentric misfits at an elite New England college discover a way of thinking and living that is a world away from the humdrum existence of their contemporaries. But when they go beyond the boundaries of normal morality they slip gradually from obsession to corruption and betrayal, and at last – inexorably – into evil.

What do you think you’ll read next?

• Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: The Original Screenplay by J.K. Rowling
• The Architect of Song (Haunted Hearts Legacy, #1) by A.G. Howard
• A Thousand Pieces of You (Firebird Trilogy, #1) by Claudia Gray – Hype or Like Friday BOTM

These are the rest of the books I plan on reading this month. I may be able to have time to squeeze a couple more in, as I will be on holiday from work for about a week and a half! I’m so excited for this break, and completely thankful that I get to work at a company with such good benefits. I was hoping for a read-a-thon being hosted during that week, but I haven’t come across one yet. Let me know if you hear about any going on around the 21st-3rd!
