King (King #1) by T.M. Frazier


I'm currently reading King right now and I'm loving it. It's such an easy listen and things are starting to get really good now. I'm so excited to continue listening to it. 
Side note: I started watching The 100 and Lip Sync Battle this week and they are both soooo good. I'm not sure why I didn't watch either shows before.

What are you currently reading or watching???

Waiting on Wednesday (68)

The Crown's Game by Evelyn Skye


"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Expected Publication Date: May 17, 2016

Synopsis: (Taken from Goodreads)
Vika Andreyeva can summon the snow and turn ash into gold. Nikolai Karimov can see through walls and conjure bridges out of thin air. They are enchanters—the only two in Russia—and with the Ottoman Empire and the Kazakhs threatening, the Tsar needs a powerful enchanter by his side.

And so he initiates the Crown’s Game, an ancient duel of magical skill—the greatest test an enchanter will ever know. The victor becomes the Imperial Enchanter and the Tsar’s most respected adviser. The defeated is sentenced to death.

Raised on tiny Ovchinin Island her whole life, Vika is eager for the chance to show off her talent in the grand capital of Saint Petersburg. But can she kill another enchanter—even when his magic calls to her like nothing else ever has?

For Nikolai, an orphan, the Crown’s Game is the chance of a lifetime. But his deadly opponent is a force to be reckoned with—beautiful, whip smart, imaginative—and he can’t stop thinking about her.

And when Pasha, Nikolai’s best friend and heir to the throne, also starts to fall for the mysterious enchantress, Nikolai must defeat the girl they both love . . . or be killed himself.

As long-buried secrets emerge, threatening the future of the empire, it becomes dangerously clear . . . the Crown’s Game is not one to lose.

Stacking the Shelves (58)


Welcome to this week's Stacking the Shelves hosted by Tynga`s Reviews. It features books I bought or received for review each week. It is about adding books to my book shelf whether it by physical, virtual or audio. Thanks for stopping by!

Books:

Frozen Tides by Morgan Rhodes
Winter by Marissa Meyer
The Burning Sky by Sherry Thomas
The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey
Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

I`m excited to read all these books and I`m happy I didn`t have to buy them all myself. I got Frozen Tides, Winter and The 5th Wave as Christmas gifts and I bought The Burning Sky and Six of Crows from Chapters Indigo. I haven`t been reading much lately. I guess I just haven`t been feeling like it. Hopefully that will end soon and I can start reading up a storm.
I hope everyone has a good week!
