Friday Finds (6)

First - we DO have reviews coming, but it is seriously hard to focus on something like a blog when you're visiting family. It's been so much fun eating at In-N-Out and a bakery that we frequented when we were dating and engaged, etc. I'm pretty sure they're going to have to roll me back to Colorado....:)
Meanwhile, here are a couple Friday Finds. Sorry there's only a few, but I think these are decent finds this week:



The Silver Skull, by Mark Chadbourn
An adult fantasy, it got great reviews by a blog I trust.
Synposis from fantasticfiction.co.uk:
Meet Will Swyfte -- adventurer, swordsman, rake, swashbuckler, wit, scholar and the greatest of Walsingham's new band of spies. His exploits against the forces of Philip of Spain have made him a national hero, lauded from Carlisle to Kent. Yet his associates can barely disguise their incredulity -- what is the point of a spy whose face and name is known across Europe?



Green Rider, by Kristen Britain
I think the synposis is the reason I picked this one (fantasticfiction.co.uk):
Karigan G'ladahon has fled from school following a fight which would surely lead to her expulsion. As she makes her way through the deep forest, a galloping horse pounds up to her, its rider impaled by two black-shafted arrows. With his dying breath, he tells her he is a Green Rider, one of the legendary magical messengers of the King, and makes Karigan swear to deliver their message he's carrying, giving her his green coat, with its symbolic broach of office. This promise given to a dying man changes Karigan's life forever. Pursued by unknown assassins, following a path only her horse seems to know, she unwittingly finds herself in a world of deadly danger and complex magic, compelled by forces she cannot understand.



Abby Cooper, Psychic Eye, by Victoria Laurie
A psychic mystery? Bring it on! I'm reading it right after I finish my current book: The Espressologist.

Have a great weekend!

Green Rider is one of my absolute FAVORITE fantasy novels of all times. You MUST read it and tell me what you think of it! :)
