Champion (Legend #3) - Marie Lu

He is a Legend.

She is a Prodigy.
Who will be Champion?

June and Day have sacrificed so much for the people of the Republic—and each other—and now their country is on the brink of a new existence. June is back in the good graces of the Republic, working within the government’s elite circles as Princeps Elect while Day has been assigned a high level military position. But neither could have predicted the circumstances that will reunite them once again. Just when a peace treaty is imminent, a plague outbreak causes panic in the Colonies, and war threatens the Republic’s border cities. This new strain of plague is deadlier than ever, and June is the only one who knows the key to her country’s defense. But saving the lives of thousands will mean asking the one she loves to give up everything he has. With heart-pounding action and suspense, Marie Lu’s bestselling trilogy draws to a stunning conclusion.

Curtsies & Conspiracies (Finishing School #2) - Gail Carriger

Does one need four fully grown foxgloves for decorating a dinner table for six guests? Or is it six foxgloves to kill four fully grown guests?
Sophronia's first year at Mademoiselle Geraldine's Finishing Academy for Young Ladies of Quality has certainly been rousing! For one thing, finishing school is training her to be a spy (won't Mumsy be surprised?). Furthermore, Sophronia got mixed up in an intrigue over a stolen device and had a cheese pie thrown at her in a most horrid display of poor manners.

Now, as she sneaks around the dirigible school, eavesdropping on the teachers' quarters and making clandestine climbs to the ship's boiler room, she learns that there may be more to a school trip to London than is apparent at first. A conspiracy is afoot--one with dire implications for both supernaturals and humans. Sophronia must rely on her training to discover who is behind the dangerous plot-and survive the London Season with a full dance card.

Vill läsa

Frida: Ganska många böcker som släpps den här veckan, men det är bara två stycken som jag är riktigt intresserad av: Champion och Curtsies & Conspiracies. 

Finast omslag

Frida: Tycker att omslaget till Champion är riktigt snygg. Gillar även omslaget till Curtsies & Conspiracies. 

Vill inte läsa

Frida: Är inte särskilt intresserad av Contagion, The Naturals, Broken eller Engines of The Broken World.  

Fulast omslag

Frida: Av någon anledning tycker jag inte alls om omslaget till The Lair. Gillar inte färgerna eller ljuset alls. Känns som att man slängt på ett superfult lager på en annars helt okej bild.
