There isn’t much to this box with just the books and a bookmark in them. The tissue paper is themed for the box which is a nice touch along with the letters on the box inside that match the bookmark.
The August Blind Date books, A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness ($10.11) and The Magicians by Lev Grossman ($10.87).
The information for the books is on the back of the bookmark that comes in the box. It has the boxes print on one side and then a little teaser for the book on the other side.
A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness ($10.11) – A grown up fantasy with the feel of Harry Potter and Twilight? Yes please, sign me up now. I’m all for books on witches and find them so interesting. This sounds like something that will be right in my wheel house and with it being the first book in the All Souls Trilogy I’m sure to NEED the next books soon.
Book one of the New York Times–bestselling All Souls trilogy—”a wonderfully imaginative grown-up fantasy with all the magic of Harry Potter and Twilight” (People)
Deborah Harkness’s sparkling debut, A Discovery of Witches, has brought her into the spotlight and galvanized fans around the world. In this tale of passion and obsession, Diana Bishop, a young scholar and a descendant of witches, discovers a long-lost and enchanted alchemical manuscript, Ashmole 782, deep in Oxford’s Bodleian Library. Its reappearance summons a fantastical underworld, which she navigates with her leading man, vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont.
Harkness has created a universe to rival those of Anne Rice, Diana Gabaldon, and Elizabeth Kostova, and she adds a scholar’s depth to this riveting tale of magic and suspense. The story continues in book two, Shadow of Night, and concludes with The Book of Life.
The Magicians by Lev Grossman ($10.87) – This is book 1 of the Magicians Trilogy and I had forgotten about this series. I have seen the commercials for the TV series and meant to watch it but somehow I haven’t yet but I have looked into the book series and have heard great things about them. I am so excited to get this one in my box and start me on my Magicians journey.
Quentin Coldwater is brilliant but miserable. A high school math genius, he’s secretly fascinated with a series of children’s fantasy novels set in a magical land called Fillory, and real life is disappointing by comparison. When Quentin is unexpectedly admitted to an elite, secret college of magic, it looks like his wildest dreams have come true. But his newfound powers lead him down a rabbit hole of hedonism and disillusionment, and ultimately to the dark secret behind the story of Fillory. The land of his childhood fantasies turns out to be much darker and more dangerous than he ever could have imagined. . . .
The prequel to the New York Times bestselling book The Magician King and the #1 bestseller The Magician’s Land, The Magicians is one of the most daring and inventive works of literary fantasy in years. No one who has escaped into the worlds of Narnia and Harry Potter should miss this breathtaking return to the landscape of the imagination.
BookCase.Club sent a couple of great selections for me this month. I’m going on a mini vacation before my boys start back to school and I’ll be taking both of these with me. I love that they are the first in each of their series so I can dig right in and not feel like I’m missing anything. Now for me to decide which one I should start with. Which one do you think I should read first? I’m so excited I just don’t know.
