Top 5 Best Book Covers: September 2015
BEASTLY BONES
Book Series: Jackaby, Book #1
Author: William Ritter (Twitter)
Genre(s): YA, Mystery, Historical Fiction
Release Date: September, 2015
“I’ve found very little about private detective R. F. Jackaby to be standard in the time I’ve known him. Working as his assistant tends to call for a somewhat flexible relationship with reality.”
In 1892, New Fiddleham, New England, things are never quite what they seem, especially when Abigail Rook and her eccentric employer R. F. Jackaby are called upon to investigate the supernatural.
First, a vicious species of shape-shifters disguise themselves as a litter of kittens, and a day later, their owner is found murdered with a single mysterious puncture wound. Then in nearby Gad’s Valley, now home to the exiled New Fiddleham police detective Charlie Cane, dinosaur bones from a recent dig mysteriously go missing, and an unidentifiable beast starts attacking animals and people, leaving their mangled bodies behind. Charlie calls on Abigail for help, and soon Abigail and Jackaby are on the hunt for a thief, a monster, and a murderer.

"Waiting On" Wednesday: The Sword of Summer (Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard #1) by Rick Riordan
Hosted By Breaking the Spine
"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event that spotlights eagerly-anticipated upcoming releases.
Title: The Sword of SummerGenres: Middle Grade, Mythology, Fantasy,Release Date: October 6, 2015
Magnus Chase has always been a troubled kid. Since his mother's mysterious death, he's lived alone on the streets of Boston, surviving by his wits, keeping one step ahead of the police and the truant officers. One day, he's tracked down by an uncle he's never met—a man his mother claimed was dangerous. His uncle tells him an impossible secret: Magnus is the son of a Norse god. The Viking myths are true. The gods of Asgard are preparing for war. Trolls, giants and worse monsters are stirring for doomsday. To prevent Ragnarok, Magnus must search the Nine Worlds for a weapon that has been lost for thousands of years. When an attack by fire giants forces him to choose between his own safety and the lives of hundreds of innocents, Magnus makes a fatal decision. Sometimes, the only way to start a new life is to die . . .
Why I Picked It: Percy Jackson was too good of a series to not try this out. Plus, I love mythology. Ready for a new adventure!
