<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">ISBN:
9781447265542</span><br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Publisher: Pan Macmillan</span><br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Pages: 230</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">My name is Lottie Biggs and in three
weeks time, I will be fifteen years old. At school, most people call me Lottie
Not-Very-Biggs. I've never found this particularly funny . . . My current hair
colour is Melody Deep Plum which is not as nice as Melody Forest Flame but
definitely better than the dodgy custard colour I tried last week.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">And this is my book - it's about important
things like boys and shoes and polo-neck knickers and rescuing giraffes and NOT
fancying Gareth Stingecombe (even though he has manly thighs) and hanging-out
with your best friend having A BLATANTLY FUNNY TIME. It is definitely not about
sitting in wardrobes or having a mental disturbance of any kind!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">I received Lottie Biggs Is Not Mad by Hayley
Long for review from Pan Macmillan.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Initially, I wasn't very keen on reading this
book, mainly because of the cover. If I had seen Lottie Biggs Is Not Mad in a
bookstore, it would probably have caught my eye but I wouldn't have picked it
up as it looks to be more Middle Grade than Young Adult.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Having said that, I really enjoyed reading
Lottie Biggs Is Not Mad! I especially liked the pictures, different fonts and
page layouts that were used to portray Lottie and her thoughts & feelings
throughout the book.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Hayley Long covers some quite difficult issues
in a light hearted, but still respectful manner in Lottie Biggs Is Not Mad -
whilst also still managing to make her book appeal to a younger audience.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">3. What is the name of your most recent
book and if you had to sum it up in 20 or less words, what would you say? </span></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: orange; font-family: inherit;"><b>My most recent book is called The Jewel.
It’s my debut, which is super exciting. It’s about a city where young girls are
auctioned off as surrogates to royal women. </b></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">4. Do you have plans for a new book? Is

writing? And how long have you been writing?</span></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: orange; font-family: inherit;"><b>I’ve always loved writing, but I never
thought it would be my career. I always did it as a way to express myself in
private, something for just me. But then, in 2008, I was laid off from my job
and had all this time and so I used it to write a YA fantasy book (not The Jewel). That book got me into the graduate program at The New School, which is
where I eventually wrote The Jewel.</b></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: orange; font-family: inherit;"><b>An author has absolutely no say in what
goes on their book cover. But I am so thrilled with mine! The design team at
HarperCollins is incredible. Barbara Fitzsimmons and Cara Petrus worked on my
cover.</b></span></span></div>

for your book? </span></b></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">ISBN: 9780062235794</span><br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Publisher: HarperTeen</span><br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Pages: 358</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">The Jewel is the first book in The Lone City
series.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">The Jewel means wealth. The Jewel means beauty. The Jewel
means royalty. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background: white;">But for girls like Violet, the Jewel
means servitude. Not just any kind of servitude. Violet, born and raised in the
Marsh, has been trained as a surrogate for the royalty - because in the Jewel
the only thing more important than opulence is offspring.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Purchased at the surrogacy auction by the
Duchess of the Lake and greeted with a slap to the face, Violet (now known only
as Lot 197) quickly learns of the brutal truths that lie beneath the Jewel’s
glittering facade: the cruelty, backstabbing, and hidden violence that have
become the royal way of life.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">I absolutely loved reading The Jewel by Amy
Ewing, which I received for review from HarperTeen via Edelweiss!</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background: white;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="background: white;">The world building in this book was perfect! Not
overly descriptive, and not too sparsely detailed either. The reader is left
wanting to learn more, not just about the specific building, character or gown
that was being illustrated, but also about the reasons and people behind it.
How it was crafted and by whom? Is it on-trend with the latest futuristic
fashion?</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background: white;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="background: white;">At the beginning, The Jewel reminded me of The
Selection by Kiera Cass and Wither by Lauren DeStefano, because of The Auction,
The Lone City and the class system within, but as the story progressed it
reminded me more of The Hunger Games as well.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Violet Lasting, also referred to as Lot 197, was one of my favourite
characters because of her initial naivety, her stubbornness, and her utter
determination. My other favourite character was Lucien, one of The Electess' staff
and Violet's stylist for The Auction, because of his kindness, sympathy and

<span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I really enjoyed reading about the three Auguries - which are Colour,
Shape & Growth. Auguries are a bit like magic, but can only be used by
people who genetically already have an affinity for them. I also enjoyed reading
about the futuristic technology like the Arcanas, which are devices that look
like tuning forks, but can be used to communicate privately over any distance!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background: white;">I love both covers of The Jewel by Amy Ewing, as both represent the book
equally, but I must admit </span>that I do prefer the UK cover! I love the byline,
"Today is my last day as Violet Lasting. Tomorrow I become Lot 197",
as it, coupled with the cover image of Violet in her plain, purple dress on the
day of The Auction, portray the main themes of loss and restriction that are
present throughout The Jewel.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">New York City’s spirit has been crushed. People walk the streets with their heads down, withdrawing from one another and into the cold comfort of technology. Teenagers Mal and Laura have grown up in this reality. They’ve never met. Seemingly, they never will. </span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">But on the same day Mal learns his brother has disappeared, Laura discovers her parents have forgotten her. Both begin a search for their families that leads them to the same truth: someone or something has wiped the teens from the memories of every person they have ever known. Thrown together, Mal and Laura must find common ground as they attempt to reclaim their pasts.</span></span><br />

They seek shelter with a pack of werewolves who brave dangerous odds to help them. Kaynan is given the ultimate chance to make up for his poor decisions, but dying again might be the only way to redeem himself.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">Crimson is a story of love and redemption amid danger and violence, a story where acceptance of change may be the only way to survive.</span></span><br />

And yet she needs Tavin’s help.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">By aiding Khaya’s escape from the seemingly idyllic confines of Eden City, Tavin unwittingly throws himself into the heart of a conflict that is threatening to tear the world apart. Eden City’s elite will stop at nothing to protect the shocking secret Khaya hides, and they enlist the other Words, each with their own frightening powers, to bring her back.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">Jarra never wanted to be a celebrity. All she ever wanted was to gain some respect for the people left on Earth: the unlucky few whose immune system prevents them from portalling to other planets.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">Except now she’s the most famous Earth girl in the universe – but not everyone in the universe is happy about it, nor the fact that she has found love with a norm. Jarra’s actions have repercussions that spread further than she ever could have imagined, and political unrest threatens to tear apart the delicate balance of peace between humanity’s worlds.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">On top of everything, the first alien artefact ever discovered appears to be waiting for Jarra to reveal its secrets. But to do so, she must somehow find a way to leave Earth – or else the alien artefact will be lost forever. Is there a way for Jarra to travel to another planet? Or is her destiny only to look to the stars – but never to reach them?</span></span><br />

Four percent suffer acute meningitis, creating the largest medical crisis in history. And one percent find themselvs “locked in” - fully awake and aware, but unable to move or respond to stimulus.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">One per cent doesn't seem like a lot.

Nothing can restore the ability to control their own bodies to the locked in. But then two new technologies emerge. One is a virtual reality environment, “The Agora,” in which the locked-in can interact with other humans, both locked-in and not. The other is the discovery that a few rare individuals have brains that are receptive to being controlled by others, meaning that from time to time, those who are locked in can “ride” these people and use their bodies as if they were their own.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">In a world of shadows, anything is possible. Except escaping your fate. </span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">Ever since she was a child, Ivy has been gripped by visions of strange realms just beyond her own. But when her sister goes missing, Ivy discovers the truth is far worse - her hallucinations are real, and her sister is trapped in a parallel realm. And the one person who believes her is the dangerously attractive guy who's bound by an ancient legacy to betray her. </span></span><br />

He just woke up one day inside the body of its captain.</span><br clear="none" /><br clear="none" /><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Marian is unlike any ship Ethan has ever seen. It crawls on long, metal legs over dunes of salt in search of water, despite laws granting exclusive harvesting rights to a corrupt organization known as HydroSystems Worldwide.</span><br clear="none" /><br clear="none" /><span style="font-family: inherit;">HydroSystems is closing in, tensions are mounting aboard the Marian, and on top of all that, Ethan is beginning to think the dreams he's been having aren't completely harmless. If he </span>doesn't<span style="font-family: inherit;"> get home soon, Ethan could die inside someone else’s body in this wasteland of a world. The only way back seems to be through a place known simply as the Cloud, but how can he convince the crew to take him there when it <span style="font-family: inherit;">means confronting a dangerous cult and venturing into a place where the very fabric of reality has worn thin?</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I love the cover of The Marian by
Taylor Hohulin! It depicts the dystopian / steampunk theme in the blurb
perfectly, whilst still being simple and modern. It also doesn't give much of
the story away either, as the mysterious person on the cover may or may not be
the main character, Ethan. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">If I saw The Marian on the shelf in my
local bookstore, it would definitely catch my eye and make me want to read it! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Has Anyone Seen Jessica Jenkins by Liz Kessler came through our letterbox, from Orion, a couple of weeks ago too! I really like the cover of Has Anyone Seen Jessica Jenkins, it's different whilst still being relevant and eye catching. I am definitely looking forward to reading this book, as I read Liz Kessler's Emily Windsnap series and loved them!<br />

An ARC of Angus Watson's Age Of Iron came through our letterbox a couple of days ago from Orbit! We are excited to read this book as we have heard that it is similar to Game Of Thrones, which we have been wanting to read or watch!<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">At Penford High School, Brittany Taylor is the queen bee. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">She dates whomever she likes, rules over her inner circle of friends like Genghis Khan, and can ruin anyone’s life with a snap of perfectly manicured fingers. Just ask the unfortunate few who have crossed her. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">For April Bowers, Brittany is the answer to her prayers. April is so unpopular, kids don’t know she exists. One lunch spent at Brittany’s table, and April is basking in the glow of popularity. But Brittany’s friendship comes with a high price tag, and April decides it’s not worth the cost. </span></span><br />

<span style="background: white;">ISBN:</span><span style="background: white; mso-bidi-font-size: 8.5pt;"> 9781408839126</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Publisher: Bloomsbury</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Pages: 530</span><br />

Heir Of Fire is the third book in the Throne Of Glass series.<br />

Queen or traitor? Only she can decide.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="background: white; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.5pt;">Lost and broken,
Celaena Sardothien’s only thought is to avenge the savage death of her dearest
friend: as the King of Adarlan’s Assassin, she is bound to serve this tyrant,
but he will pay for what he did. Any hope Celaena has of destroying the king
lies in answers to be found in Wendlyn. Sacrificing his future, Chaol, the
Captain of the King’s Guard, has sent Celaena there to protect her, but her
darkest demons lay in that same place. If she can overcome them, she will be
Adarlan’s biggest threat – and his own toughest enemy.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">While Celaena learns of her true destiny, and
the eyes of Erilea are on Wendlyn, a brutal and beastly force is preparing to
take to the skies. Will Celaena find the strength not only to win her own
battles, but to fight a war that could pit her loyalties to her own people
against those she has grown to love?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">I absolutely loved reading Heir Of Fire by Sarah
J. Maas, which I received for review from Bloomsbury via Netgalley! Although
Heir Of Fire is written from quite a few different perspectives, it flows
really well. I especially enjoyed reading the chapters from Manon Blackbeak's
perspective!</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background: white; mso-bidi-font-size: 9.0pt;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="background: white;">In this book, we are introduced to a lot of new,
fascinating creatures, my favourites have to be the Wyverns and the faeries.
Even though they were only mentioned in passing, I liked the faeries as they
helped to showcase Celaena's journey and her future as well.</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background: white; mso-bidi-font-size: 9.0pt;"> </span></span><span style="background: white;">I liked reading about
the Wyverns not only because they added more depth to the witches' characters,
but also because the Wyverns themselves are so different than anything I have
ever read about before!</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Heir Of Fire focuses more on magic, (and the
lack of it in Adarlan), than the previous two books. The reader learns about
magic with Celaena, as she learns to control and harness her power. I really
enjoyed reading the different types of power and the ways they could each be
used. My favourite had to be Celaena's. I loved how her magic reflected both
her fiery personality, and her previous fighting style.</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background: white; mso-bidi-font-size: 9.0pt;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Despite the cover of Heir Of Fire by Sarah J.
Maas being inkeeping with the story within, it didn't seem to perfectly depict
the main character Celaena throughout, as both Aelin and Celaena, but instead
just as Celaena. Overall, I would definitely recommend reading Heir Of Fire by
Sarah J. Maas.</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background: white; mso-bidi-font-size: 9.0pt;"> </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background: white; mso-bidi-font-size: 9.0pt;">ISBN:</span><span style="background: white;"> </span><span style="background: white; mso-bidi-font-size: 8.5pt;">9781250048172</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Publisher: Macmillan</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Pages: 368</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Being popular is all that matters.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.5pt;">Seventeen year old
Stella Hamilton is the star blazing at the heart of Temperley High. Leader of
the maliciously exclusive elite, she is envied and lusted after in equal
measure. And in the Hamilton tradition, she is in the final stage of a six year
campaign to achieve her destiny: love with her equally popular male equivalent,
and a triumphant election to Head Girl.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Caitlin Clarke has lived a quietly conformist
life in New York City – until, with the collapse of her parents’ marriage,
she’s sent across the Atlantic for a strict English boarding school education.
As soon as she arrives at Temperley, she learns that the only important rules
are the unwritten ones. The upper echelons of her new society are marked not by
neat dresses and Kate Middleton hair, but by skinny jeans, cigarettes and
scars. It's a world of the beautiful and the dangerous, and acceptance
means staying on the right side of the most beautiful and dangerous of them
all.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">As Caitlin’s popularity grows, she discovers
that not everyone is happy under Stella’s rule – that it might finally be time
for a new order among the Stars and the civilians. Fighting the system,
however, means Caitlin must tread the same dark path as Stella, where absolute
power and absolute destruction are only a breath away . . .</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">I received an ARC of Stella by Helen Eve for
review from Macmillan, which I really enjoyed reading!<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Stella by Helen Eve seemed a bit similar to the
films Mean Girls and Wild Child at first, but as the book progressed it began
to remind me more and more of Sara Shepard's Pretty Little Liars. At some
points Helen Eve's Stella became quite dark and odd.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />
<span style="background: white;">This book is told alternately from two
perspectives, Stella's & Caitlin's. Stella, who the book mainly focuses on,
is the "Queen Bee"at Temperley High boarding school, whilst Caitlin
is the new girl.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Stella is part of the "Stars" and her
current boyfriend (and ex-boyfriend) are part of the "Stripes". The
"Stars" and the "Stripes" were a play on the fact that
Caitlin is from America and the American flag is sometimes referred to in terms
of stars and stripes.</span> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background: white; mso-bidi-font-size: 9.0pt;">I
didn't really have a favourite character, as all of the main characters at one
point or another tended to change their minds and loyalties with the weather.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Although, I like the mass market cover of Stella
and think that it represents the story within well, I still prefer my ARC
cover. The ARC cover of Stella is quite simplistic but it places more emphasis
on the byline, "Being popular is all that matters", which appears to
be the underlying theme throughout Stella for all the main characters.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Overall, even though I enjoyed reading Stella by
Helen Eve and would probably read another book by her, I wouldn't necessarily
widely recommend this book. It was a bit of an acquired taste really, however I
would recommend it to those who enjoyed reading books like Torn by Cat Clarke
and This Is Not Forgiveness by Celia Rees.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<b>The Prophecy Of Arcadia</b><br />
<b>By M.H.Soars</b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">Being a teenager is tough, especially when you have to pretend to be something you’re not, and you’re in love with someone you shouldn’t. 115 years ago, a small planet called Arcadia was invaded by a vicious alien race and nearly destroyed. Cut off from their resources, the Arcadians turned to Earth for help. A group of Arcadian explorers discovered a Prophecy that claimed their salvation lay in the hands of two children from Earth. To ensure their safety, the Arcadian Council sent their most gifted youngsters to Earth to act as protectors. Samantha is one of them.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">To succeed in her mission she must learn to control her Arcadian powers and keep her true identity from her best friend, and the girl she swore to protect, Alexia. But Samantha will soon realize that nothing is as it seems. Someone is trying to prevent the Prophecy from taking place and the prophecy boy hasn't been found yet. There is also a new drug circulating at school that is turning students into freakishly strong menaces.</span></span><br />

<b>The Carbon Diaries 2015</b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>By Saci Lloyd</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">It's January 1st, 2015, and the UK is the first nation to introduce carbon dioxide rationing, in a drastic bid to combat climate change. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">As her family spirals out of control, Laura Brown chronicles the first year of rationing with scathing abandon. Will her mother become one with her inner wolf? Will her sister give up her weekends in Ibiza? Does her father love the pig more than her? Can her band The Dirty Angels make it big? And will Ravi Datta ever notice her? </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">In these dark days, Laura deals with the issues that really matter: love, floods and pigs. </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">The Carbon Diaries 2015</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"> is one girl's drastic bid to stay sane in a world unravelling at the seams.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="background: white; mso-bidi-font-size: 9.0pt;">ISBN:
</span><span style="background: white; mso-bidi-font-size: 8.5pt;">9781848450929</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Publisher: Harlequin Mira</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Pages: 390</span><br />

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The world lies in
tatters. Her touch is the only salvation.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br />
<span style="background: white; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.5pt;">Laying hands
upon the injured and dying, Avry of Kazan assumes their wounds and diseases
into herself. But rather than being honoured for her skills, she is hunted.
Healers like Avry are accused of spreading the plague that has decimated the
Territories, leaving the survivors in a state of chaos.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Stressed and tired from hiding, Avry is abducted
by a band of rogues who, shockingly, value her gift above the golden bounty
offered for her capture. Their leader an enigmatic captor-protector with powers
of his own is unequivocal in his demands: Avry must heal a plague-stricken
prince, the leader of a campaign against her people.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">As they traverse the daunting Nine Mountains,
beset by mercenaries and magical dangers, Avry must decide who is worth healing
and what is worth dying for.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">I received an ARC copy of Touch Of Power by
Maria V. Snyder for review for Harlequin Mira via Netgalley, which I loved
reading!<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />
<span style="background: white;">At times Touch Of Power reminded me of Trudi
Canavan's The Novice series, because of the current Healer's guild within it,
and the magic user's school from before the plague in Touch Of Power.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">My favourite character was Avry, the main
character who is a magic user with one of the rarest abilities - the ability to
heal herself and others. I liked reading about Avry, as she is quite determined
and stubborn, whilst also still being caring.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />
<span style="background: white;">I really enjoyed reading about the Peace Lilies
and Death Lilies, which are depicted with Avry on one of the alternative front
covers of Touch Of Power. I also enjoyed reading about the ten different types
of magic, (Life, Death, Rock, Earth, Water, Air, Fire, Moon, Sun and Forest),
and how each individuals magic manifested differently.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />
<span style="background: white;">I love both covers of Touch Of Power, as they
both represent the story within well, whilst still being quite subtle! I would
definitely recommend reading Touch Of Power by Maria V. Snyder, especially for
fans of Trudi Canavan and Sarah J. Maas!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

He remembers the days when information was protected, not sold to the highest bidder. When his illegal organic vegetable trade is discovered at the bottom of his garden in the town of Wigthorn, the tomatoes really hit the fan.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">Amy works for Pharmara, the biggest pharmaceutical company in the UK, analysing user data.

<div class="yiv735857955MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;">
<b><span style="color: orange; font-family: inherit;">The original title for the first five drafts was 'Railroaded' but my editor and a beta reader said it wasn't quite right, and reluctantly, I agreed with them. It was too antiquated plus there are no trains or railways in the story so it could be confusing. I spent months thinking of a new one. 'In A Right State' just popped up but I liked it almost immediately as it referred to things being in a mess and also the country moving to the right, politically. I've never read it but I've always liked the double-meaning of the title from his book, 'The State We're In' by Will Hutton - <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-State-Were-In-Overcome/dp/0099366819" rel="nofollow" style="outline: 0px;" target="_blank">http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-State-Were-In-Overcome/dp/0099366819</a></span></b></div>

<div class="yiv735857955MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;">
<b><span style="color: orange; font-family: inherit;">No but I did think about doing one. I like them if they're well done and not just powerpoint presentations. I didn't think I could do one justice with the very minimal budget I've got to promote my debut novel.</span></b></div>
