Waiting on Wednesday (93)

  Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, originally created by  Breaking the Spine , that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating. This is my choice for this week: The Gilded Ones (Deathless #1) by   Namina Forna   The start of a bold and immersive West African-inspired, feminist fantasy series for fans of Children of Blood and Bone and Black Panther. In this world, girls are outcasts by blood and warriors by choice. Sixteen-year-old Deka lives in fear and anticipation of the blood ceremony that will determine whether she will become a member of her village. Already different from everyone else because of her unnatural intuition, Deka prays for red blood so she can finally feel like she belongs. But on the day of the ceremony, her blood runs gold, the color of impurity--and Deka knows she will face a consequence worse than death. Then a mysterious woman comes to her with a choice: stay in the village and submit to her fate, or leave to fight for the emperor i

Heart to Heart Mondays (12): Books I would love to read but they intimidate me

Hello! Happy Monday!  I was away on vacation for two weeks and I am a big procrastinator so I did not have any scheduled posts for that time. So sorry about that. But now I am slightly recharged, a little bit rested and can devote my time to blogging again. This weeks topic is Books that intimidate me. There are a lot of books I would like to read, some I own, but I am scared to pick them up because of how many pages they are or I am afraid of having my hopes for the book dashed or the books were so hyped up or some other reason I cant think of right now.    I have on my TBR these big fantasy series, like Discworld and Wheel of time, where a TV show is coming soon so I would like to be able to get through them at some point before that. Or Dune, before the movie.    Or, in the case of IT, I am really scared of clowns but I would really like to read the book. Here are some books that intimidate me: What do you think about the books that intimidate me? Which

Heart to Heart Mondays (4): The Redeemable, The Worst and the Terrible - Villains in books

-
Slika
Who doesnt love a good villain? In my opinion, the villains are usually who make the story more interesting, they bring action and surprises and they make the heroes look good. In my many years of reading there were many bad guys I encountered in books but some stayed with me. There are those who started the series as antagonistic characters who ended up being the main characters HEA. Those who redeem themselves throughout the book or those who were simply misunderstood or just didnt know better. But some are simply pure evil, on a path of destruction and blood, a force that our favorite heroes and heroines fight to survive or to make the world a better place. Villains often dont know they are in the wrong, in their minds they are fighting for what they believe in, to them the end justifies the means and to "bad guys" what they are doing is not wrong. Sometimes, villains in books just want to play God, with no visible motivation, they simply love being the big bad
