We have multiple copies of Reached and Days of Blood & Starlight for those series fans who have been waiting for them.  Reached is the final book of Ally Condie’s Matched trilogy.  Cassia’s rebellion against society  is complete as she fights for her right to choose her mate rather than having society choose for her.

In Laini Taylor’s latest, Days of Blood and Starlight, Karou now knows who she is and has to decide whether to wage war for her people against her starcrossed love.  This follow-up to Daughter of Smoke and Bone is just as engaging as it’s predecessor.

Place your holds now.  The wait lists are growing quickly!
