The Starbound Trilogy: Three worlds. Three love stories. One enemy.

How I Got It

My husband gave it to me for my birthday.

When I Got It

Two years ago.

Why I Want To Read It

From what I've heard,this is a very romantic, exciting story, and most of it takes place on an alien planet. So this book combines FOUR of my favorite genres -- fantasy, romance, science fiction, and young adult fiction. I really can't believe I haven't read it yet!!

What do you think of this book?

Have you read it, and if so,

did you like it?

Waiting On Wednesday No. 180: The Black Key, by Amy Ewing

This is a weekly event hosted by

Jill @ Breaking the Spine, until

very recently, it seems.

For the past four weeks, including

this one, the meme has not been

published on Jill's blog. I don't know what's going on. The last post is dated 8/24/16,

as you will see when you

click on the link above.

I have continued to publish these

posts on my own, as I really like the meme. I'm thinking of just continuing it by myself, from now on.

If another blogger decides to start

hosting it, then I will link up there.

If no other blogger takes it over,

I might not go on with it.

We'll see....

"Waiting On Wednesday" showcases future releases which we book

bloggers are eagerly anticipating!!

Here's my choice for this week!

The Black Key

And while Violet knows she is at the center of this rebellion, she has a more personal stake in it—her sister, Hazel, has been taken by the Duchess of the Lake.
