Week in Review 12/2 – 12/8 & a Giveaway!

December 8, 2018 by Suzie Waltner 6 Comments

Well, we made it through the first week in December and my house is still not completely ready for Christmas! That’s due in part to the cubicle decorating contest my department is doing at work. I wasn’t going to do it but one of the girls in my division of the department said she didn’t want to be the only one in our area joining in so I agreed to do it. Perhaps the reason I didn’t want to do it is evident in these pictures.

As you can see, when I go in, I go all in!! The hilarious thing is that I keep getting suggestions of more to add to it. I’ve started calling it the Gingerbread Palace :).

So with all of that going on, my reading time has been a little more limited. But the good news for all of you is that December is a great month of giveaways. Seriously, if you are on social media, you should not be missing all of the author giveaways. I’ve got a few to share with you this week, including the Days of Fantasy where you can win a Kindle Fire 8, a chance to win a year of Kindle Unlimited, another tour with a Kindle Fire giveaway, and a cover reveal for Brandy Bruce’s upcoming book (and much, much more so keep on reading).

Oath of the Brotherhood
(Song of Seare #1)
By C.E. Laureano

Christian Young Adult Celtic Fantasy
Paperback & ebook, 435 Pages
May 1st 2014 by NavPress

In a kingdom where the Old Ways hold fast and a man’s worth lies entirely in his skill with the sword, Conor Mac Nir is a scholar, a musician, and a follower of the forbidden Balian faith: problematic for any man, but disastrous for the son of the king.

When Conor is sent as a hostage to a neighboring kingdom, he never expects to fall in love with the rival king’s sister, Aine. Nor does he suspect his gift with the harp (and Aine’s ability to heal) touches on the realm of magic. Then his clan begins a campaign to eliminate all Balians from the isle of Seare, putting his newfound home in peril and entangling him in a plot for control of the island that has been unfolding since long before his birth.

Only by committing himself to an ancient warrior brotherhood can Conor discover the part he’s meant to play in Seare’s future. But is he willing to sacrifice everything―even the woman he loves―to follow the path his God has laid before him?

HE’S COMING FOR THEM. AND THE KINGDOM.

Haegan and Kaelyria Celahar are royal heirs of the Nine Kingdoms, but Haegan is physically crippled. What chance does he have against Poired Dyrth, the greatest enemy the kingdom has ever faced, who wields fire with a power none can match?

Their only hope is forbidden: Kaelyria must transfer her fire-harnessing abilities to Haegan. When she does it comes with a terrible price: Haegan’s disability is healed, but only by being transferred to Kaelyria. This act unleashes their father-king’s wrath.

Haegan must flee the kingdom alone with two impossible tasks: Find a cure for Kaelyria and stop the coming war with the omnipotent Poired Dyrth.

First Line Friday: The Lieutenant’s Bargain

December 7, 2018 by Suzie Waltner 11 Comments

Happy Friday and Happy December! I can’t believe how quickly this year sped by (maybe it’s because I had my nose in books for so much of it).

This week I’m sharing the first line from the second book in Regina Jenning’s Fort Reno series. Out of curiosity, does anyone else have a hard time spelling the word Lieutenant correctly? Every time I type it, it just feels wrong. Despite that, this book had me smiling and laughing quite a bit. Perfect for a busy season of the year!
