Boundless (Unearthly #3)

by Cynthia Hand

Expected publication: January 22nd 2013 by HarperTeen 

O my. O my. O my.

In Unearthly, I was so into Tucker. I thought Christian was a bastard and Clara deserved a better guy. And Tucker fits the bill. But come Hallowed, I was converted to Team Christian. I thought he deserved a chance.

Also, have you read this excerpt from Boundless? It's a Christian and Clara on date!

And just look at that pretty, pink book cover...

Lines and/or scenes from a book that made me swoon.

Today's swoon comes from one of my all time favorite books The Iron Queen by Julie Kagawa. I don't know how many times I've read this book, but I still swoon whenever I read this part...

“My name is Ashallyn’darkmyr Tallyn, third son of the Unseelie Court.” Though his voice was soft, it never wavered, and I felt breathless at hearing his full name. His True Name. “Let it be known—from this day forth, I vow to protect Meghan Chase, daughter of the Summer King, with my sword, my honor, and my life. Her desires are mine. Her wishes are mine. Should even the world stand against her, my blade will be at her side. And should it fail to protect her, let my own existence be forfeit. This I swear, on my honor, my True Name, and my life. From this day on…” His voice went even softer, but I still heard it as though he whispered it into my ear. “I am yours.”

Oh Ash... Will you be in The Lost Prince???
