Welcome to my March 2017 edition of My To Be Read List, hosted by Michelle @ Because Reading. This is a monthly meme where we offer up 3 choices from our TBR pile for our readers to pick from to help us make the super hard decision of "what do I read next?" a little easier and to whittle away at the ever growing TBR Mountain!
Theme: Maggie Stiefvater. Maggie's The Raven Boys series really caught my attention and now she's an automatic buy for me. Help me decide what to start next!
The poll will stay open through Friday 3/10, and I'll update this post with the winning book on Saturday 3/11, then post a review on the last Saturday of the month, 3/25.
If you think this sounds fun and would like to join (the more the merrier, because we love voting!) please head on over to Because Reading where Michelle lays out the rules for us!
And the choices are...
For years, Grace has watched the wolves in the woods behind her house. One yellow-eyed wolf—her wolf—is a chilling presence she can't seem to live without. Meanwhile, Sam has lived two lives: In winter, the frozen woods, the protection of the pack, and the silent company of a fearless girl. In summer, a few precious months of being human… until the cold makes him shift back again. Now, Grace meets a yellow-eyed boy whose familiarity takes her breath away. It's her wolf. It has to be. But as winter nears, Sam must fight to stay human—or risk losing himself, and Grace, forever. |
From Goodreads:
It happens at the start
of every November: the Scorpio Races. Riders attempt to keep hold of
their water horses long enough to make it to the finish line. Some
riders live. Others die.
At age nineteen, Sean Kendrick is the returning champion. He is a young man of few words, and if he has any fears, he keeps them buried deep, where no one else can see them. Puck Connolly is different. She never meant to ride in the Scorpio Races. But fate hasn’t given her much of a chance. So she enters the competition — the first girl ever to do so. She is in no way prepared for what is going to happen. |
Sixteen-year-old Deirdre Monaghan is a painfully shy but prodigiously gifted musician. She's about to find out she's also a cloverhand—one who can see faeries. Deirdre finds herself infatuated with a mysterious boy who enters her ordinary suburban life, seemingly out of thin air. Trouble is, the enigmatic and gorgeous Luke turns out to be a gallowglass—a soulless faerie assassin. An equally hunky—and equally dangerous—dark faerie soldier named Aodhan is also stalking Deirdre. Sworn enemies, Luke and Aodhan each have a deadly assignment from the Faerie Queen. Namely, kill Deirdre before her music captures the attention of the Fae and threatens the Queen's sovereignty. Caught in the crossfire with Deirdre is James, her wisecracking but loyal best friend. Deirdre had been wishing her life weren't so dull, but getting trapped in the middle of a centuries-old faerie war isn't exactly what she had in mind . . . |

It looks the most St. Pat's/March themed with the Shamrocks, doesn't it?
DeleteI voted for Shiver as it is one that is on my own TBR - Enjoy which ever wins!

DeleteI heard Scorpio Races was pretty good so voted for it. :)
ReplyDeleteCool, I always love to hear that someone else likes it! Thanks!
DeleteI went with Shiver because I love those covers and they sound fun. Werewolves too. :) Although The Scorpio Races was a close second.
ReplyDeleteShiver is definitely leading the pack so far, so it may be werewolves for me this round! Thanks!
DeleteYay! I've read them all! *haha* I voted for Lament because it was the first book I ever read by Stiefvater and it made me a big fan - even if Ballad (book #2) was even better. But really, you can't go wrong with any of these so I hope you'll enjoy whichever one is chosen. :)
ReplyDeleteThe Raven Boys was my first by her and it made me an instant fan, so I'm definitely looking forward to them all! Thanks! (and I already pre-ordered the new one so I could get the Maggie doodle! Is there anything that woman can't do?)
DeleteI haven't yet tried anything by this author, but I really want to. I have heard such good things about her books. You should read them all. LOL I will go with Shiver, I think. I hope you enjoy whichever wins! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYes! You definitely should give her a try! I've only read The Raven Boys series so far and really liked it, so I'm looking forward to her others, they all sound so different and interesting! Thanks!
DeleteI voted for Shiver, because I really liked that series. I haven't read her other ones yet.
ReplyDeleteIt's leading the pack, and it's great to hear first hand likes! Thank you!
DeleteI heard good things about this author her books. I voted for Shiver because werewolves!
ReplyDeleteSo far it's looking to be werewolves for me this round! We'll see if it keeps the lead! Thanks!
DeleteI've read one Maggie book and really liked it - really need to return to that series! I voted for Scorpion Races because it's the one I've heard the most about, but I'm sure all of them will be good. Enjoy!
