Wishlist Wednesday #6


Wishlist Wednesday is a book blog hop hosted by Pen to paper, where we will post about one book per week that has been on our wishlist for some time, or just added (it's entirely up to you), that we can't wait to get off the wishlist and onto our wonderful shelves.

 Laini Taylor has confirmed that the third and final instalment of the Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy will hit the libraries on April 8,2014, so the final countdown has begun. {64 days left, in case you were wondering}

The gorgeous cover is what led me to pick up the first book of the series but once I started reading it, I just couldn't put it down.  Luckily for me, I read Daughter of Smoke and Bone just before the publication of  Days of Blood and Starlight, so I didn't have to wait more than a week for the rest of the story.  Sadly a year has passed since and I am still waiting for the wrap up for this story. The wait has been way too long, considering the clifhanger book #2 ended on but I guess we should give authors the time to write something good and not quickly throw something together.

Dreams of Gods and Monsters by Laini Taylor will have to meet the high expectations set by her previous novels, but I am eagerly awaiting the final chapter of the story of Karou and Akiva..

     Add to Goodreads
By way of a staggering deception, Karou has taken control of the chimaera rebellion and is intent on steering its course away from dead-end vengeance. The future rests on her, if there can even be a future for the chimaera in war-ravaged Eretz.
Common enemy, common cause.
When Jael's brutal seraph army trespasses into the human world, the unthinkable becomes essential, and Karou and Akiva must ally their enemy armies against the threat. It is a twisted version of their long-ago dream, and they begin to hope that it might forge a way forward for their people.
And, perhaps, for themselves. Toward a new way of living, and maybe even love.
But there are bigger threats than Jael in the offing. A vicious queen is hunting Akiva, and, in the skies of Eretz ... something is happening. Massive stains are spreading like bruises from horizon to horizon; the great winged stormhunters are gathering as if summoned, ceaselessly circling, and a deep sense of wrong pervades the world.
What power can bruise the sky?
From the streets of Rome to the caves of the Kirin and beyond, humans, chimaera and seraphim will fight, strive, love, and die in an epic theater that transcends good and evil, right and wrong, friend and enemy.
At the very barriers of space and time, what do gods and monsters dream of? And does anything else matter?

  7. THINGS TO BEWARE OF...........

    There are things that Christians and non-Christians alike should beware of....

    1 Timothy 4:1-3 But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 buy means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron, 3 men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth.

    BEWARE OF THOSE WHO FORBID MARRIAGE AND IMPOSE DIETARY RESTRICTIONS AS TENETS OF THEIR FAITH.

    2 Thessalonians 2:8-9 Then the lawless one....9 that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders,

    BEWARE OF SO-CALLED CONTEMPORARY MIRACLE WORKERS.

    Matthew 24:24 For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.

    BEWARE OF MEN CLAIMING TO BE CHRIST OR MODERN-DAY PROPHETS.

    2 Corinthians 11:4-14 For if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted, you bear this beautifully......13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14 No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.

    BEWARE OF THOSE WHO PERVERT JESUS AND THE GOSPEL PLAN OF SALVATION.

    2 Peter 3:10-17 ......16 as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction. 17 You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of unprincipled men and fall from your own steadfastness,

    BEWARE OF UNTAUGHT, UNSTABLE, AND UNPRINCIPLED MEN.

    The best way to avoid error is to know the TRUTH.

    THE WAY TO KNOW THE TRUTH IS BY PRAYERFULLY SEARCHING THE SCRIPTURES.
