The Excitement of New Books

     Most of us know that wonderful feeling when we order something online. We are so excited for our new thing, only to realize that now we have to wait for it to ship to us. Even quick shipping can seem to take forever.

     I did a very silly thing and got around to using a gift card I got for christmas. So what does a sensible gal like myself do? Orders books. As many books that the darn thing could get me. Now I have to wait.

     One of the books I picked up was one that I have been looking for a long time. A kitchen witches cookbook. I cannot wait to get my hands on that one. The other two that I grabbed are two that I have not heard of yet.

      Magic Bites by Ilona Andrews. The first of a new series.
"When the magic is up, rogue mages cast their spells and monsters appear, while guns refuse to fire and cars fail to start. But then technology returns, and the magic recedes as unpredictably as it arose, leaving all kinds of paranormal problems in its wake.

Kate Daniels is a down-on-her-luck mercenary who makes her living cleaning up these magical problems. But when Kate’s guardian is murdered, her quest for justice draws her into a power struggle between two strong factions within Atlanta’s magic circles."

     

     The second was Black Dog: Hellhound Chronicles #1. Another first of a series that seemed interesting to me. It was also in the bargan book section on Barns & Nobel.com.

"Ava has spent the last hundred years as a hellhound, the indentured servant of a reaper who hunts errant souls and sends them to Hell. When a human necromancer convinces her to steal her reaper’s scythe, Ava incurs the wrath of the demon Lilith, her reaper’s boss.

As punishment for her transgression, Lilith orders Ava to track down the last soul in her reaper’s ledger . . . or die trying. "

     Reapers? Sign me up! This is another one I cannot wait to get my hands on. The only real question now is, what to read first!
