Title: The Iron King
Author: Julie Kagawa


We were born of the dreams and fears of mortals, and if we are remembered, even in some small way, we will always exist.

"What in Pan's privates is this?" the goblin chief snorted.


So there you have it: one line of magical beauty, and another of, uh, less beauty! (But it sure did make me laugh!)

Last week on Teaser Tuesday I had just got GUARDIAN onto Goodreads and added it to a few listopia lists. Thank you to all of you for adding GUARDIAN to you to-read lists, and for voting on the listopia lists! GUARDIAN has reached:

#3 out of 65 in New Series (2012) (It actually got to #1 for a little bit! Thanks, guys!) 
#120 out of 270 in Amazing Covers of 2012

Parcel in the Post: Switched & The Iron King

It's the end of my first week back at school and I'm already feeling close to having a nervous breakdown! (picture a headless flapping chicken trying to teach maths to teenagers and organise a book blog tour at the same time) 2012 is going to be an awesome year, but an awesomely PACKED year too. Busybusybusybusybusybusy!!!

Anyway, today I got those things in the post box that make me happy: those little slips of paper that tell me there's a parcel waiting to be collected! So off I went to fetch the two newest additions to my library.

SWITCHED by Amanda Hocking ~ Yeah, okay, I've been meaning to read this for quite some time, but when I saw the beautiful new covers, I knew I had to wait until I could get a paperback version of it!

THE IRON KING by Julie Kagawa ~ Isn't it awesome when you start reading a series and all the books in it are already published?! I've been seeing good things about this series for a while, but now that I'm writing my own faerie stories, I thought it was definitely about time I read these ones!


P.S. Thank you so much to everyone for your awesome cover love for GUARDIAN! Vi can't stop blushing ;-)
