I'm waiting on...
The Golden Lily (Bloodlines #2)
by Richelle Mead
Release Date
June 19th 2012
Sydney Sage is an Alchemist, one of a group of humans who dabble in magic and serve to bridge the worlds of humans and vampires. They protect vampire secrets—and human lives.
Sydney would love to go to college, but instead, she’s been sent into hiding at a posh boarding school in Palm Springs, California–tasked with protecting Moroi princess Jill Dragomir from assassins who want to throw the Moroi court into civil war. Formerly in disgrace, Sydney is now praised for her loyalty and obedience, and held up as the model of an exemplary Alchemist.
But the closer she grows to Jill, Eddie, and especially Adrian, the more she finds herself questioning her age-old Alchemist beliefs, her idea of family, and the sense of what it means to truly belong. Her world becomes even more complicated when magical experiments show Sydney may hold the key to prevent becoming Strigoi—the fiercest vampires, the ones who don’t die. But it’s her fear of being just that—special, magical, powerful—that scares her more than anything. Equally daunting is her new romance with Brayden, a cute, brainy guy who seems to be her match in every way. Yet, as perfect as he seems, Sydney finds herself being drawn to someone else—someone forbidden to her.

I've heard SUCH fantastic things about this series, but I have to admit that I haven't even read Vampire Academy yet. *cringes in shame* I know, I know. It's very high on my TBR list, but other things just keep taking priority. I will get to it soon enough though, I PROMISE. :P

I really need to read a Richelle Mead paragraph. Yes, I know....how have I not read one yet.
ReplyDeleteGreat post.
MY WoW/WWW post.
i have Bloodlines in my tbr pile, and hope to read it before The Golden Lily comes out. SO EXCITED. Vampire Academy is one of my favorite series ever. :D
ReplyDeleteI've never read any of this author's books. I've got to check her out. Does she only write about vampires? Lol...
ReplyDeleteI still haven't read Bloodlines yet, still need to pick it up!

Nice pick! I loved Vampire Academy and was excited to read Bloodlines. I didn't love it, but it's really hard to compete w/Rose and Dimitri. I'm hoping now that Adrian is finally finished moping, that this series will turn it around for me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and for stopping by my blog!
I've got Bloodlines in my TBR pile. Looking forward to reading it.
ReplyDeleteHere's my WOW pick.

I have heard so many great things about this series and I am sad to say I haven't even read Vampire Academy yet. *sigh* I know! I don't know how I haven't gotten around to it yet but I hope to sometime this year. Great pick this week!

I love Adrian Ivashkov too. I've already bought Bloodlines but haven't been able to read it yet, cause I lent it to my cuz the same day I bought it (on its release date) and I still haven't gotten it back off her yet. I'm dying to read it, but she keeps forgetting to read it or bring it back. I might have to buy myself another copy, just so I can read it. Thanks for sharing your WoW book :) Natasha @ Paranormal Goddess Blog - Waiting On Wednesday Post

ReplyDeleteOur WoW is at Book Sake. –Jessica
Amazing pick! I am dying for this book to come out! I loved Bloodlines sooo much! And man do I love me some Adrian Ivashkov, too! :)
ReplyDeleteMy WoW
I'm listening to the Bloodlines audiobook and I agree -- Adrian cracks me up. In the audiobook the reader does his lines with this dry British accent LOL. All the scenes with him in them are better :)
ReplyDeleteI have yet to read a book by Mead, I swear I'm no behind on finding all of these super hot guys that she writes about.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy this one once it releases! Thanks for sharing :)
Great pick!!! I LOVE Adrian and I can´t wait to read this book.
ReplyDeleteOMG the last line of Bloodlines was the cliffhanger and now we have Brayden!!, my poor Adrian.
My IMM
This was my WoW last week! I hadn't read any of the Vampire Academy books when I picked up Bloodlines, and I wasn't expecting to like it as well as I did!! Now, I can't wait to read The Golden Lily! Great WoW!
ReplyDeleteCourtney @ Fuzzy.Coffee.Books <-- My WoW!
I am a fan of Adrian Ivashkov (who isn't?!) but not of this series, unfortunately. I may consider giving this book a second chance as it could be a lot better for me than the first one. But I can be excited for you! :D
ReplyDeleteI won Bloodlines but haven't read it yet. And I have the VA series but have only read the 1st one, although my friend who is a HUGE Adrian fan, is constantly nagging me about reading them all. I didn't liked Dimitri, men with long hair and who are my professors turn me off, but she said I need to keep going so I'll meet Adrian.
ReplyDeleteI haven't gotten to read the first one yet but it is on my tbr list. Hopefully one of these days I will be able to catch up:) Yeah, right! Here's my WOW: http://myneuroticbookaffair.blogspot.com/2012/02/waiting-on-wednesday-282012-red-world.html
ReplyDeletehave a great week!
I know it's awful but I haven't read any of Mead's books yet... I really want to though, I have heard such great things about them.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great day!
