Welcome back! How was your weekend? Mine was nothing special. I did make my son’s cub scout den dinosaur fossil digs though, you can see the image on my twitter account. I used corn starch and water to make oobleck and then we put the toy skeletons in it, placing it in front of the pellet stove to dry. I just hope that they turn out alright. It was my first time making them so I guess we will see.
Did you get any reading done over the weekend? I finished Scarlet by Marissa Meyer and I am so happy that I am reading this series…finally! I am also reading The Warrior Maiden for a blog tour I will be taking part in. I loved my 24-hour readathon and think I might do that more often. I do have two little monsters boys though so my free time is few and far between.
Today we have another book that I am really looking forward to reading! Let’s see…

Seventeen-year-old Keralie Corrington may seem harmless, but she’s, in fact, one of Quadara’s most skilled thieves and a liar. Varin, on the other hand, is an honest, upstanding citizen of Quadara’s most enlightened region, Eonia. He runs afoul of Keralie when she steals a package from him, putting his life in danger. When Varin attempts to retrieve the package, he and Keralie both find themselves entangled in a conspiracy that leaves all four of Quadara’s queens dead.
With no other choices and on the run from Keralie’s former employer, the two decide to join forces, endeavoring to discover who has killed the queens and save their own lives in the process. When their reluctant partnership blooms into a tenuous romance, they must overcome their own dark secrets in hopes of a future together that seemed impossible just days before. But first, they have to stay alive and untangle the secrets behind the nation’s four dead queens.
An enthralling fast-paced murder mystery where competing agendas collide with deadly consequences, Four Dead Queens heralds the arrival of an exciting new YA talent.
I follow Astrid on twitter and when she finally released the cover for this I could not help but gush over how amazing it looked. I have had my eye on this book for so long and am beyond excited that it will be released soon.
I love the idea of a mystery to uncover who has killed the four different queens…how can you not want to read a good fantasy with mystery entwined in its plot? I really hope that we get to learn more about each of the queens! AHH, I am so excited about this one!
