Psst…are you a Christopher Paolini fan? I know I am and if you are one too then mark on your calendar September 20, 2008. Brisingr Inheritance book 3 is being released.  

OATHS SWORN . . . loyalties tested . . . forces collide.

Following the colossal battle against the Empire’s warriors on the Burning Plains, Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, have narrowly escaped with their lives. Still there is more at hand for the Rider and his dragon, as Eragon finds himself bound by a tangle of promises he may not be able to keep.

First is Eragon’s oath to his cousin Roran: to help rescue Roran’s beloved, Katrina, from King Galbatorix’s clutches. But Eragon owes his loyalty to others, too. The Varden are in desperate need of his talents and strength—as are the elves and dwarves. When unrest claims the rebels and danger strikes from every corner, Eragon must make choices— choices that take him across the Empire and beyond, choices that may lead to unimagined sacrifice.

Eragon is the greatest hope to rid the land of tyranny. Can this once-simple farm boy unite the rebel forces and defeat the king?

I am impatiently waiting for the end of September so I can get my copy only 18 days left!

“It happened every year, was almost a ritual. And this was his eighty-second birthday. When, as usual, the flower was delivered, he took off the wrapping paper and then picked up the telephone to call Detective Superintendent Morell who, when he retired, had moved to Lake Siljan in Dalarna. They were not only the same age, they had been born on the same day–which was something of an irony under the circumstances. The old policeman was sitting with his coffee, waiting, expecting the call.”

O.k. September is a hot month for book releases, on September 16, 2008 Stieg Larssons’s book The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is being released in the North America. This is the first in his trilogy that unfortunately was cut short due to his tragic death in 2004.

Forty years ago, Harriet Vanger disappeared off the secluded island owned and inhabited by the powerful Vanger family. There was no corpse, no witnesses, no evidence. But her uncle, Henrik, is convinced that she was murdered by someone from her own deeply dysfunctional family. Disgraced journalist Mikael Blomkvist is hired to investigate, but he quickly finds himself in over his head. He hires a competent assistant: the gifted and conscience-free computer specialist Lisbeth Salander, and the two unravel a dark and appalling family history. But the Vangers are a secretive clan, and Blomkvist and Salander are about to find out just how far they are prepared to go to protect themselves.

For those of you who have been in a country that has already had the book released, I have heard nothing but high praise, but PLEASE don’t tell me how it ends; if you do I will be very, very sad.

Have you run out of summer reads yet? You shouldn’t you still have 2 whole months left. Let’s start the rest of the summer off right and read The Importance of Being Married written by Gemma Townley.

This is the first novel in Gemma Townley’s exciting new Wild trilogy; The Importance of Being Married introduces an irresistible heroine caught up in a scheme that could change her life forever.

Jessica Wild isn’t big on commitment. But after inheriting millions from Grace, a sweet old lady she met in her grandmother’s nursing home, the situation seems to have changed. To put an end to the many questions about her nonexistent love life, Jess had led Grace to believe she had a boyfriend-turned-fiancé-turned-husband: her glamorous boss, Anthony Milton. But Jess’s fantasy to keep Grace happy has backfired–Grace has passed away and left her fortune not to Jessica Wild but to Mrs. Jessica Milton.

Having weighed all legal options, Jess comes to the realization that there’s only one thing she can do: get Anthony to fall in love with her and pop the question for real. With help from her feisty best friend, Helen, Jess reluctantly learns the art of flirting, seduction, and playing hard to get. But just when it appears that Anthony is about to ask the (literal) million-dollar question, Jess finds herself wondering if it’s right to say “I do” for all the wrong reasons.

Well there you go girls a new trilogy on its way; this is a fast pace wonderful chick lit Cinderella caper and if you are a fan of Townley’s then you will definitely enjoy this book.

“There are people in my country who have never travelled beyond the boundaries of Terre d’Ange. Indeed, there are many who have never left the province in which they were born; contented crofters tilling the land, tending orchards or raising sheep, never venturing further than the nearest market.

Betimes, I envy them.

Already, as a young man, I have gone further than I could have imagined as a boy daydreaming in the Sanctuary of Elua where I was raised. It did not begin by choice - as all the world knows, I was abucted by Carthaginian slave-traders, sold into slavery in Menekhet, and from thence taken to the land of Drujan, ruled by a madman who consorted with a dark and ancient god.”

Oh look, another book in the Kushiel series, this one is called Kushiel’s Mercy and it is making its grand appearance on June 12, 2008. Do you think I should leave a note on my door saying I have gone to pick up this new book?

From Jacqueline Carey, New York Times bestselling author of Kushiel’s Scion and Kushiel’s Justice, comes the final adventure in the Imriel Trilogy.

Having paid dearly for ignoring Elua’s edict to love as thou wilt, Imriel and Sidonie have finally come forward to publicly confess their love for each other—only to watch the news ignite turmoil throughout the land. Those who are old enough cannot forget the misdeeds of Imriel’s mother, Melisande, whose self-serving lies plunged their country into war.

In order to quell the uprising, Queen Ysandre hands down a decree: she will not divide the lovers, but neither will she acknowledge them. And if they decide to marry, Sidonie will be disinherited.
That is, unless Imriel can find his mother and brings her back to Terre D’Ange to be executed for treason.

This looks like it could be one heck of a book. Remember folks this the last adventure in this series and once you have finished reading this book, go back and reread the first two in this series.
