This Week's Reads

City of Light
by Charmedy (DeviantArt)

The Shadow Cipher by Laura Ruby
York #1 (Goodreads)
**I'll admit that I thought this book was titled York and The Shadow Cipher was the series name. Still like the cover just a bit confusing.
This is a middle grade book but the premise sounds really interesting and I've had better luck with middle grade books than some adult ones.

Rare by Joel Sartore
Portraits of America's Endangered Species (Goodreads)
**We really like animals and coffee table books. My son is especially interested in endangered animals so this was one we had to take a look at.

The Flintstones Vol. 1 by Mark Russell, Steve Pugh (Illustrations)
(Goodreads)
**This was pure nostalgia. I loved this show when I was younger. I saw this one the new shelf at the library and had to grab it.

Dome City
by Joe Roberts (DeviantArt)

Grave Visions by Kalayna Price
Alex Craft (Goodreads)
**Already finished this one but was glad to get back into this series. Alex is one of my favorite UF characters. Between her death magic and being one of the first plane weavers in years her plate is full but not always in a good way. I'm not crazy about the romance. I don't generally like love triangles and in this one I don't care for either guy so it's even worse.

The Photo Ark by Joel Sartore
(Goodreads)
**I've been reading a lot of non fiction this summer and could not resist grabbing this one. I love photography and animals and this is the best of both.

Tower of Thorns by Juliet Marillier
Blackthorn & Grim #2 (Goodreads)
**Really liked book 1. Neither Blackthorn nor Grim are your typical heroes but you can't help but root for them to figure it out. Hopefully Blackthorn gets more control of her need for payback, it was the only thing that I disliked (but understood) in the first book.
