New library books!

Our first order of new fiction titles for the library has been cataloged, processed, and is now ready for checkout. I never get tired of the excitement and fun of new books in the library, and this year is no different! My to-be-read pile has grown significantly. I can't wait to read some of these new titles. I thought I would share some of the titles on my TBR list with you.

The Long Game by Jennifer Lynn Barnes is one of the first on my list. I loved The Fixer and can't wait to read this second title in this series.
Tess Kendrick's sister is a fixer of problems, making them disappear for powerful people in Washington.  Because of her sister's reputation, all the students at Tess's elite private school turn to Tess for help. In The Long Game, Tess is asked by one of the students to help her get elected as class president.  In the meantime, her sister is working a case that involves terrorism and a struggle for power in Washington, a dangerous mix!
The Bronze Key - Book 3 of the Magisterium by Holly Black & Cassandra Clare
I have enjoyed this fantasy series.  The targeted audience for the books are middle school students, so these titles are shorter reads than some fantasy novels.  The Magisterium is a school to train students who are gifted in magic how to control it.  The students, along with the mages, use magic to bring order to our world.  But in The Bronze Key, chaos is spreading and it's up to Call, Tamara and Aaron to try to stop the evil. 

The Girl Who Drank the Moon by Kelly Barnhill 
This is a new title that caught my attention. The description sounds intriguing!  Every year, a baby is left as a sacrifice to the witch of the forest.  But the witch Xan is actually kind, and takes the babies to a new family on the other side of the forest, feeding it starlight as they go.  When one of the babies is accidentally feed moonlight, Xan decides to keep the child because she will be filled with magic and names her Luna. When she turns 13, Luna's magic begins to manifest.  Then a young man decides to free the village by finding and killing the witch. I'm really looking forward to this fairytale read!

There are many many more books on my TBR list, but I'll wait and share more on another day.  Happy reading!
