Another great book series.

I just love it when I find a new series, it’s the best thing. Especially when I find it at the library and it doesn’t cost me a dime.

This time I was able to get the first 2 books of the series, and I have to wait till August for the 3rd to come out. Jessica Andersen is the author and she the series is titles: A Novel of the Final Prophecy. Night Keepers is the first book and Dawnkeepers is the second. I finished Night Keepers pretty fast, and the only thing that is keeping me from reading Dawnkeepers just as fast is that I am also reading Penman’s Devils Brood at the same time.

This series has a very interesting theme, the main part of that theme is that the world is possibly going to end on December 21, 2012. That is unless the Nightkeeper Warriors can keep the big bad guys under control. There is magic, romance, sex and mystery in these books as these inexperienced Nightkeepers and thier helpers learn what they are up against and how to fight them.

I really liked it and sure am looking forward to August when the 3rd book is going to come out.

I am an avid reader, I love many different kinds of books. From Romance, Fantasy, Sci Fi, Historical Fiction these are the ones I gravitate to the most. Once of my utmost favorites are the Historical Fiction books that are set in Medieval England, especially those around the time of King Henry and Queen Eleanor. I just eat those up.

That is why I am so happy to have found that one of my favorite authors Sharon Kay Penman has finally released her 3rd book in the trilogy of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine. Oh how I loved the first book and how I hated the 2nd, not for how it was written I loved that. I hated the way that Henry II was portrayed- it was probably very accurate but ugh I so did not like him. The same way I did not like the 5th Harry Potter book, when Harry was such a sniveling self absorbed 15 year old- so age appropriate but ugh I disliked his behavior. I was so happy he outgrew that behavior.

So now I’m working my way through the Devil’s Brood, and enjoying it. The intricacies of this family dynamic is fun to see how dysfunctional they are.

I also really enjoy another author that writes in this time frame, Elizabeth Chadwick. I just wish more of her books were available in the US, since when I checked tonight there are 3 of her books that I have not read. So I guess it is time to Ebay some of my old books so I can get my hands on some of these newer books.

So many books to read, and not enough time to read them all. But I sure will have fun with the ones that I do get to read.
