Friday Finds

I love posts about new books to read and hope for. In fact, my TBR list is so large that I despair of ever finishing it. However, I can't seem to stop myself, and am sharing some find with you this week in hopes that I drag you all down with me. :)





The Shadow of the Bear, by Regina Doman
This is the first in a fractured fairy-tale series that I recently discovered through a friend on Shelfari. While I have no idea if they're any good or not, I am a fan of fairy tales, and they all sound delightfully unique.






Eon, Dragoneye Reborn, by Alison Goodman
This was recommended to me by my dad awhile back, but I just couldn't get up the motivation to read it. However, once I saw it on the YA Fantasy Tournament, I decided I was being silly. Eona must be the kind of character I'd love if she's that amazing, so it's back on my TBR list.






Cloaked, by Alex Flinn
January 25, 2011

Alex Flinn is the new buzz word around the internet, first and foremost for her upcoming movie based on her thoroughly enjoyable book, Beastly.
Wikipedia states:

Flinn has stated that her upcoming novel, titled Cloaked, is a melange of several fairy tales, including The Frog Prince, The Shoemaker and the Elves, and The Six Swans. Set in Miami, it tells the story of a teen who works at the shoe repair counter at a posh South Beach hotel until he is sent on a quest by a princess, whose brother has been turned into a frog and set loose in the Florida Keys.

The Magic Thief: Found, by Sarah Prineas
Having enjoyed the first two books in this series, I already have this on hold!


Just a note: A variety of blogs have Friday Finds on the web, and it's not something I came up with, merely a terrific idea I'm borrowing.
