Happy New Year and Welcome Back to My To-Be Read List!
So this month I picked
I figured I would let you pick from the list of books I got for Christmas from my family. I am excited for all three of these so it doesn’t matter which one wins but I would love to see which one I should read first. These also count for My Coyer Winter Switch ~ The List.
Invictus
by Ryan Graudin
464 pages
Published Sept 26th 2017
by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
Time flies when you’re plundering history.
Farway Gaius McCarthy was born outside of time. The son of a time-traveling Recorder from 2354 AD and a gladiator living in Rome in 95 AD, Far’s birth defies the laws of nature. Exploring history himself is all he’s ever wanted, and after failing his final time-traveling exam, Far takes a position commanding a ship with a crew of his friends as part of a black market operation to steal valuables from the past.
But during a heist on the sinking Titanic, Far meets a mysterious girl who always seems to be one step ahead of him. Armed with knowledge that will bring Far’s very existence into question, she will lead Far and his team on a race through time to discover a frightening truth: History is not as steady as it seems.
Spindle Fire (Spindle Fire #1)
by Lexa Hillyer
351 pages
Published April 11th 2017 by HarperCollins
A kingdom burns. A princess sleeps. This is no fairy tale.
It all started with the burning of the spindles.
No.
It all started with a curse…
Half sisters Isabelle and Aurora are polar opposites: Isabelle is the king’s headstrong illegitimate daughter, whose sight was tithed by faeries; Aurora, beautiful and sheltered, was tithed her sense of touch and her voice on the same day. Despite their differences, the sisters have always been extremely close.
And then everything changes, with a single drop of Aurora’s blood—and a sleep so deep it cannot be broken.
As the faerie queen and her army of Vultures prepare to march, Isabelle must race to find a prince who can awaken her sister with the kiss of true love and seal their two kingdoms in an alliance against the queen.
Isabelle crosses land and sea; unearthly, thorny vines rise up the palace walls; and whispers of revolt travel in the ashes on the wind. The kingdom falls to ruin under layers of snow. Meanwhile, Aurora wakes up in a strange and enchanted world, where a mysterious hunter may be the secret to her escape…or the reason for her to stay.
Rebel of the Sands (Rebel of the Sands #1)
by Alwyn Hamilton
314 pages
Published March 8th 2016 by Viking Books for Young Readers
Mortals rule the desert nation of Miraji, but mythical beasts still roam the wild and remote areas, and rumor has it that somewhere, djinn still perform their magic. For humans, it’s an unforgiving place, especially if you’re poor, orphaned, or female.
Amani Al’Hiza is all three. She’s a gifted gunslinger with perfect aim, but she can’t shoot her way out of Dustwalk, the back-country town where she’s destined to wind up wed or dead.
Then she meets Jin, a rakish foreigner, in a shooting contest, and sees him as the perfect escape route. But though she’s spent years dreaming of leaving Dustwalk, she never imagined she’d gallop away on mythical horse—or that it would take a foreign fugitive to show her the heart of the desert she thought she knew.
Rebel of the Sands reveals what happens when a dream deferred explodes—in the fires of rebellion, of romantic passion, and the all-consuming inferno of a girl finally, at long last, embracing her power.

After reading the description for Spindle Fire, I didn’t even bother with the 3rd book because I KNEW that I needed you to read that. What a unique approach to sleeping beauty! I hope it wins, lol, because I want to know if I should read it.
You know how I love retellings 🙂 I am hoping this one is as good as it sounds.
Happy New Year, Michelle! I nearly went with Rebel of the Sands (Rebel of the Sands because that’s been on my own TBR pile for awhile now, but then I saw your other two choices and they all gave me pause. In the end I went with Spindle Fire because that cover is just so pretty! Haha! Today seems to be the day I’m voting based on cover (I used the same criteria in Berls’ poll). I think they all sound great. I hope you enjoy whichever wins!
Thanks for voting Wendy! I tend to base stuff on covers a lot too! 🙂
