Binding of Bindings #37: 2019 Book Wrap-Up

January 10, 2020January 10, 2020 JenAcideByBibliophileLeave a comment

2019 was a whirlwind,

full of murder, lies and romantic delights.

Some characters acted regal, and some started fights.

There were cults, secret societies, and courts of tricks and schemes,

there were proper young ladies, hushed voices, and bloodcurdling screams.

Some plots were gentle, some plots were vexing,

some plots were filled with rebellion, and some with magic and hexing.

There were retellings of classics and introductions to new tales,

with characters who crushed our souls and threw our lives off the rails.

But with each new book and world read in 2019,

You can bet 2020 will be anything but serene.

The eerie Daughter of Darkness and the gloomy Son of Spooky.

It’s OCTOBER!

~* My 10 Anticipated October Book Releases *~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~

1. Angel Mage by Garth Nix

Release Date: October 1, 2019

Genre: YA/Fantasy

Angel Mage.jpg

Some of you may know Garth Nix, some may not.

He is the author of the Abhorsen series, Sabriel, and has made a name for himself in the YA Fantasy genre.

Angel Mage is a historical styled fantasy with heavy influence from The Three Musketeers. Set in a world that is largely controlled by angelic magic, Liliath seeks to be reunited with her lost love, the archangel of Ystara, by forcing four Sarancians to fulfill her destiny.

It basically sounds like an epic fantasy adventure of four against one, I am here for it COMPLETELY!

2. Resurrection Girls by Ava Morgyn

Release Date: October 1, 2019

Genre: YA/Fantasy/Paranormal

Resurrection Girls

Resurrection Girls is one of those books I see and go-

…was this written specifically for me?

It follows Olivia Foster, a young girl who is still reeling from the death of her younger brother. But when Kara Hallas moves in across the street, Olivia is immediately enamored with her free spirit and strange hobby of writing to men on death row. So Olivia joins Kara, and together, they write as the Resurrection Girls.

This sounds like it’s going to be one of those “they aren’t who they seem” styles of books, but I am REALLY curious to see where this fantasy/paranormal element comes in to play.

But who am I kidding?

I’m just here for the morbid tone.

3. Shadow Frost (Book 1) by Coco Ma

Release Date: October 1, 2019

Genre: YA/Fantasy

Shadow Frost

Shadow Frost is about a girl named Asterin, Princess of Axaria, who vows to slay a demon that is terrorizing her kingdom. With the help of her friends, they set off to kill the beast in question, but discover startling information in the process. But an assassination attempt against Asterin has been planned, and a series of lies begin to come to light as they fight for survival.

Magic, a princess, demon beasts?!

Sign me up!

4. The Twisted Ones by T. Kingfisher

Release Date: October 1, 2019

Genre: Fantasy/Horror

The Twisted Ones.jpg

My Horror pick of the month, and you’ll know exactly why!

The Twisted Ones is about a young woman named Mouse who begins cleaning out her grandmother’s home after her death. What she thinks at first is just a bunch of useless junk, she soon finds that not everything in this house can be brushed off so easily.

Mouse uncovers a journal of strange writings by her step-grandfather, and soon begins to experience the strange and unusual events that she assumed was the musings of an insane man.

This novel is said to read like The Blair Witch Project meets The Andy Griffith Show.

HOW? I don’t know, but I NEED!

5. The Good Luck Girls (Book 1) by Charlotte Nicole Davis

Release Date: October 1, 2019

Genre: YA/Fantasy/Historical Fiction

The Good Luck Girls

So I JUST received this beauty in the mail from the amazing and wonderful Andrea @andreajanel_reads , and I cannot wait to start reading this Westworld meets The Hadmaid’s Tale fantasy!

The Good Luck Girls is the story of five young women who were forced into prostitution houses and called Good Luck Girls. When one of the girls ends up killing her client, the girls devise a plan to escape and find freedom.

This sounds like a Wild Wild West meets Sucker Punch meets The Accident Season, and I’m just over here like

6. I Know You Remember by Jennifer Donaldson

Release Date: October 8, 2019

Genre: YA/Mystery/Thriller/Suspense

I Know You Remember.jpg

I LOVE a thriller that blindsides the ever-living shit out of me, and I am hoping I Know You Remember does just that!

When Ruthie’s once best friend Zahra suddenly vanishes from a party, she makes it her mission to find out what happened. But as Ruthie begins to dig deeper into the life of the girl she once knew, she soon discovers Zahra is far from the introverted and artistic person she was as a child. Zahra is popular and a young woman of many secrets, and Ruthie is about to fall into them.

7. The Grace Year by Kim Liggett

Release Date: October 8, 2019

Genre: YA/Sci-fi/Dytopian

The Grace Year.jpg

THIS book is the Sci-fi/Dystopian novel I have been waiting for ALL YEAR!

Set in a world where girls are banished until the age of sixteen and told their skin emits a powerful aphrodisiac that lures men in and throws women into a jealous rage, Tierney James dreams of a better life. A life where the girls don’t rage against one another, and work to tear each other down.

The Grace Year is dripping in feminist vibes like Wilder Girls and Girls with Sharp Sticks. It is a world where women are shoved down and fight against one another to survive in a society that only wants to push them down farther.

I cannot express how long I have been waiting for this release.

I am so ready to highlight every word in this book.

Bring it on.

8. Love, Heather by Laurie Petrou

Release Date: October 8, 2019

Genre: YA/Contemporary

Love, Heather.jpg

Love, Heather is about two girls who enact revenge on the bullies of their high school by playing a few pranks, signing them with Love, Heather. But what starts out as innocent retaliation, quickly turns into a violent mess as students start to join in by pulling their own vicious pranks. As everything turns dark, the girls fight to take back control of what they started.

I am a HUGE fan of the Heathers movie, and if you haven’t seen it, I suggest you do before reading this book!

9. Gravemaidens by Kelly Coon

Release Date: October 29, 2019

Genre: YA/Fantasy

Gravemaidens follows Kammani, a young healer who fights to save her sister from her impending death.

When the ruler of Alu becomes ill, sacred maidens are picked to walk with the dying ruler into the afterlife. It is an honorable position, but one that Kammani only sees as an execution. So when her sister Nanaea is chosen as one of the Gravemaidens, she sneaks into the palace and attempts to heal the ruler. But the secrets of the palace are dangerous, and more than just her sister’s life may be in danger.

10. Deeplight by Frances Hardinge

Release Date: October 31, 2019

Genre: YA/Middle Grade/Fantasy

I LOVE Francis Hardinge books!!!

Not only does she come up with some truly amazing and unique ideas, but the detail and character building in each of her stories is FANTASTIC!

I mean yes, I wish she would write a more Mature YA or even an Adult book, but I am more than happy with these beautiful middle grade tales!

Deeplight is set in a fantastical world called Myriad, a place once terrorized by powerful gods that come from the depths of the ocean, until one day they vanished. Since then, the remains of these gods are traded and highly sought after. For Hark and Jelt, scavenging for “godware” is their life, and they soon set out on an expedition that will change their lives forever.

Binding of Bindings #24: The Vain Post (3) – 10 Books You’ll Buy for the Cover

July 12, 2019July 26, 2019 JenAcideByBibliophile14 Comments

Well look who it is.

It’s the beautiful covers again.

Back for another round to flaunt their stuff and show you what you’re missing!

Try not to stare.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~

~* Another Vain Post *~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~

1. Shimmer and Burn (Book 1) by Mary Taranta

Shimmer and Burn is a YA Fantasy that follows Farin as she struggles to rescue her sister who attempts to flee from the kingdom, but ends up being sold into slavery. But the only way to buy her sister back is to participate in the scheme of the power-hungry and vile Princess Bryn who is attempting to overthrow her father, the King.

Smells like dannnngerrrr.

2. Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea (Between, Book 1) by April Genevieve Tucholke

Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea is a YA Fantasy Paranormal Romance about a girl named Violet and a young man named River West who comes to live on her decrepit estate. River is beautiful and alluring, and makes Violet fall quick. But her grandmother used to warn her about the Devil…only she never warned her whose form the Devil might take.

Call me blind, but I legit thought this was going to be about pirates or something when I first saw the cover…

But the Devil is fine too. I could get on board with this.

3. Kingdom of Ash and Briars (The Nissera Chronicles, Book 1) by Hannah West

Kingdom of Ash and Briars is a YA Retelling of MANY fairy-tale favorites like Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Mulan!

It is set in a world where elicromancer’s (shape-shifters) have been wiped away, leaving only two behind. But now, there is a third. Sixteen-year-old Bristal is working as a kitchen maid when she discovers her powers, but the truly difficult task will be to decide what she does with it. To use it for good, or bad?

Apparently she than goes undercover as a soldier AND a fairy godmother.

Sounds like a wild time.

4. Shadows of the Forest by Emma Michaels

Shadows of the Forest is a YA Fantasy Novella, and it has a really cool synopsis. Everyone who lives in the Shadow Forest must follow three rules: 1. Don’t enter the West Wing, 2. Don’t go outside after dark and 3. There is only one exit: The Gates.

When Lily wakes up in a hospital with little memory of how she got there, she is forced to break the rules in order to save her brother.

Though it doesn’t have the BEST reviews on Goodreads…

…it’s still nice to look at!

5. When My Heart Was Wicked by Tricia Stirling

When My Heart is Wicked is listed as a YA Fantasy, but it sounds like it should be in the Urban Fantasy section and possibly the Mental Health section.

The story follows Lacy who used to use her botanist healing powers for evil and wrongdoing, but has since changed her ways. But with the death of her father, lacy is forced to move back with her mother, who is both wretched and cruel.

It is described as a sad and dark story, and one that can be devoured quickly.

6. Poet Anderson…of Nightmares by Tom DeLonge and Suzanne Young

This book….looks and sounds AMAZING!

Poet Anderson…of Nightmares is about two brothers who are lucid dreamers. After Alan is in a serious car accident that lands him in a coma, his brother Jonas jumps into the dream world in order to find him and bring him back.

But this YA Fantasy story is also a Horror. Fear in the dream world is called a Night Terror and REM is a creature of destruction who devours souls. But with the help of a Dream Walker, Jonas might be able to rescue his brother…if only he can face his fears.

And if you didn’t notice…this book is written by Suzzanne Young (The Program, Girls with Sharp Sticks) AND Tom Delonge – former singer/songwriter for Blink-182.

What a mash-up, right?!

7. The Creeping by Alexandra Strowy

The Creeping has been on my TBR list for a while now, and I am STILL wondering why I haven’t read it yet!

It’s a YA Mystery/Horror about two girls who disappear, but only one comes back. Now eleven years later, Stella wants to spend her Summer with her friends making memories. Until she finds a dead body that leads her down a road of darkness…

8. The Night House by J.C. McKenzie

The Night House is a Fantasy Romance with a dystopian vibe. It’s basically an alien invasion story when the human population gets wiped clean, and only a select few survive to try to take it back. I just started it, and its fairly good so far.

But really, we all know why I got this book right?!

9. The Surface Breaks by Louise O’Neill

The Surface Breaks is a Little Mermaid Retelling (try not to scream) set off the Irish coast. Gaia is the most prized daughter of the Sea King, but dreams of escaping her fathers control. Living in a world where only the beautiful are kept, and the ugly or deformed are banished, Gaia wants nothing more than to be free. And so upon her first swim to the surface, she is captivated by a human boy, who she is prepared to sacrifice everything for.

This book is a FEMINIST version of the tale we know and love, and is said to be a dark and emotional version that is going to strike some serious feels.

10. Don’t Forget to Breathe by Cathrina Constantine

Don’t Forget to Breathe is a YA Mystery/Thriller Paranormal story about a girl who arrives home to find her mother’s dead body. As Leocadia struggles to remember what happened that horrible day and to find some peace, more bodies are suddenly discovered that could be linked to her mother’s death. But most unnerving of all, the haunted Lucien Mansion and the spirits inside might hold all the answers.

~* My 10 Anticipated July Book Releases *~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~

2. The Beckoning Shadow (Book 1) by Katharyn Blair

Release Date: July 2, 2019

Genre: YA/Fantasy

This book has AMAZING reviews all over Goodreads already, and with a cover and plot like this, I’m simply not surprised.

So when she is thrust into the Tournament of the Unraveling to compete for a chance to rewrite the past, she desperately works to win with the help of Sam Hardy – a former MMA fighter with a past just as tragic.

3. Season of the Witch (The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Book 1) by Sarah Rees Brennan

Release Date: July 9, 2019

Genre: YA/Fantasy/Horror

*Commence the obnoxiously loud fan-girl screams*

I KNOW!

THIS. Is ACTUALLY. HAPPENING!!!!!

Season of the Witch is a prequel to the Netflix series The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, and documents the summer before we all meet her. This is the summer that she and Harvey first get together, but she isn’t sure of Harvey’s feelings for her. By her cousin Ambrose’s suggestion, Sabrina performs a spell, but it backfires.

From the reviews I have read, it would be a good idea to watch the first season of the show before you read this. It might give some spoilers away if you haven’t seen the show yet, and who wants that?!

Obviously, I am SUPER excited for this release. My witchy heart can barely contain itself!!

4. Wilder Girls by Rory Power

Release Date: July 29 2019

Genre: YA/Horror/Mystery/LGBT

This is probably the third or fourth time I have posted about this book, but can you blame me?

You can’t.

Wilder Girls is the private school meets fast-spreading virus meets feminist vibes story that you obviously just need. A virus breaks out at a private school located on an island, and three girls are forced to fight for their lives as it spreads. Reviewers are describing it as a Feminist Lord of the Flies.

Intrigued?

Of course you are.

5. Heartwood Box by Ann Aguirre

Release Date: July 9, 2019

Genre: YA/Mystery/Thriller

Heartwood Box is a dark romantic YA Mystery that follows Araceli (again with the cool names) as she is sent to live with her great-aunt in a Victorian home. But this new town isn’t as quaint and normal as Araceli expected. There are countless “missing” posters everywhere, a creepy lab on the outskirts of town nobody talks about, and her aunt is a little…unhinged.

The mysterious conspiracies may commence now.

6. Vox by Christina Dalcher

Release Date: July 16, 2019

Genre: Fiction/Feminism/Science Fiction

If you’ve got a hardcore addiction for The Handmaid’s Tale, because you like your heart being ripped out each week – Read THIS!

I started it a few days ago and let me just tell you…

…it’s f***ed.

Vox is a re-release Dystopian Feminist story set in America where women are only allotted a total of 100 words to speak in a day. Similar to The Handmaid’s Tale, slowly women are stripped of their rights, and thrust into bracelets that counts their words and gives them electric shocks if they exceed their limit.

To make it worse, female children are given these bracelets too and never taught to read or write.

This book is told from Dr. Jean McClellan’s point of view, and it is…hard to read.

*Sigh* my heart!

7. The Phantom Forest by Liz Kerin

Release Date: July 16, 2019

Genre: YA/Fantasy

The Phantom Forest is a story for every Underworld loving creature of the night out there!

The Forest of Laida is the most holy place of the Underworld, and each tree houses a soul that is able to return to the mortal world for another life. But when Seycia’s (seriously, THE NAMES!) father is killed and she is chosen as a human sacrifice, she is thrust into the Underworld to protect her family.

I received this from Netgalley (you can still get a copy) and I am SO stoked to get it started!

8. Before I disappear by Danielle Stinson

Release Date: July 23, 2019

Genre: YA/Fantasy

Rose arrived in Fort Glory, Oregon to start a new life with her family, but everything changes when they suddenly vanish. Now she is trapped in the Fold with four other teens – a place in the woods that is somewhere between the real world and the lost town – and everyone is starting to turn deadly.

This has Stephen King vibes all over it…DOWN!

9. The Merciful Crow (Book 1) by Margaret Owen

Release Date: July 30, 2019

Genre: YA/Fantasy

THIS looks like it is going to be a BIG winner for fans of Six of Crows, so get your wallets out kids.

The Merciful Crow is set in a world that follows a caste system, and main character Fie belongs to the Crows – undertakers and murderers who are paid to collect the dead. But when Fie is sent on a job she knows will pay big, things turn for the worst when it comes to light that her target, Prince Jasimir and his bodygaurd, have faked their deaths in order to prevent his Kingdom from siege.

I mean…look.

Just take my money.

10. The Surface Breaks by Louise O’Neill

Release Date: July 30, 2019

Genre: YA/Fantasy/Retelling/Feminism

Another re-release, but another book you will be happy to get your hands on!

Book Review: My Real Name is Hanna by Tara Lynn Masih

June 20, 2019June 20, 2019 JenAcideByBibliophile1 Comment

Disclaimer: This book was sent to me by the author, Tara Lynn Masih, for an honest review.

Genre: YA/Historical Fiction/WWII-Holocaust

Plot: Inspired by real Holocaust events, this poignant, award-winning debut novel is a powerful coming-of-age story that will resonate with fans of The Book Thief and Between Shades of Gray.

Hanna Slivka is on the cusp of fourteen when Hitler’s army crosses the border into Soviet-occupied Ukraine. Soon, the Gestapo closes in, determined to make the shtetele she lives in “free of Jews.” Until the German occupation, Hanna spent her time exploring Kwasova with her younger siblings, admiring the drawings of the handsome Leon Stadnick, and helping her neighbor dye decorative pysanky eggs. But now she, Leon, and their families are forced to flee and hide in the forest outside their shtetele—and then in the dark caves beneath the rolling meadows, rumored to harbor evil spirits. Underground, they battle sickness and starvation, while the hunt continues above. When Hanna’s father disappears, suddenly it’s up to Hanna to find him—and to find a way to keep the rest of her family, and friends, alive.

Sparse, resonant, and lyrical, weaving in tales of Jewish and Ukrainian folklore, My Real Name Is Hanna celebrates the sustaining bonds of family, the beauty of a helping hand, and the tenacity of the human spirit.

Opinion:

“My last thought, before I say the Shema, is of the young mother Jacob told us about, while he choked on his own tears-a mother who smothered her own child in her winter coat before the shot came, so the child would not feel the bullet”

A book hasn’t left me speechless in a while…

…

But here I am…

…speechless.

This book will ignite a fire in your bones and put an ache in your heart.

It is a beautiful, devastating and horrific story, but a story of one light that is incapable of being extinguished.

A light that burns so fiercely with conviction, resilience, hope and determination.

That light is the Slivka family.

My Real Name is Hanna is set in a small Ukrainian village called Kwasova where the reader is introduced to fourteen-year-old Hanna in May of 1941 at the height of Adolf Hitler’s reign. She describes the drastic changes to her town, the way neighbors and villagers begin to shun her family, and the non-Jewish children who throw stones at her siblings. How countless signs paint the Jewish people to be disease ridden with lice and infection, and that they should be eradicated from the Earth. As the Germans attempt to make Ukraine “Jew Free”, Hanna and her family are forced to flee their home into the forest. For two years they hide with other families in first a small shelter, and then underground caves for thirteen months.

“We leave on the first cloudy night, so the moon won’t betray our fleeing figures.”

It is never easy reading the terrifying experiences that millions were subjected to during WWII. But it is especially difficult living those moments with a character you cherish so deeply, as they experience each second of terror, confusion and fear. Hanna is everything I could ever hope to become in life. She is brave, unyielding, and hopeful. She is a force that sees the beauty and kindness in the world, even when the same world seems so set on ripping her to pieces.

She exudes a strength that is almost unfathomable for a girl so young. She is impossible not to love as she portrays such compassion and care to her family members, and the families that run with them. But reading about Hanna was exhausting. It put a cloud over my already blue head, cut my air supply in half, and made my stomach flutter with anxiousness.

Reading this book is like holding Hanna’s hand as she is forced to live in darkness; starving and scared. All you can do is sit in silence, and hope that she lives.

“For she was in a black dungeon…for she was in a cage…She had been in that cage a long time now, but now long enough to break her spirit.”

Where reality really set in for me, is when the families arrive at the caves. Their plan is to live underground, in the hopes that they won’t be found and that they can survive until the war ends. Though this story was incredibly sad up until this point, my stomach didn’t actually drop to the floor until Hanna began crawling inside. To say this moment is heavy, would be a completely inappropriate and horrid description of the situation.

It isn’t heavy.

It’s devastation.

But with each moment of bleakness and suffering, there are tokens of brightness littering this story as well. Countless people assist the families in finding shelter and food, there are meaningful stories shared during their days in hiding, and a tree that is a symbol of their hope and salvation. The writing is superbly done, and the voice of Hanna is captured beautifully by the author. She is youthful and views her surroundings with a tint of innocence, but knows the seriousness of the situation she and her family are in. She is an old soul full of wisdom and strength, and you can’t help but look up to her.

Though these characters are fictional and created by the author, the Slivka family is based on real-life survivor Esther Stermer, her extended family and four other families who survived WWII by hiding in caves for over 500 days. My Name is Hanna is an incredibly important story that NEEDS to be shared with all ages. In a world where there is so much hate and lack of communication and listening, this book will will serve as a reminder that we are all human and deserve the same amount of decency.

Please read this. It’s important.

“I am jealous of how quickly they forget”.
