Sarah Rees Brennan Week-Day Two and a Giveaway



Today is day two of Sarah Rees Brennan Week and the day that Demon's Surrender is out and I am heading to the bookstore to meet up with a friend who got me some books while she was at Book Expo America (Janet, you ROCK!) Needless to say, I also want to grab a copy of Demon's Surrender....in the event that I do not want to wait I will be getting an e copy of the book. I'll let you know what I end up with (typing this the day before).

I am heading off to read book two when I am done typing this (have I mentioned that I am typing this up ahead of time?).  Loved book one, oh yes I did. The ending--major wow and made me a major fan. Plus, loved the characters and the world building, the magic, the demons. The list goes on and on. It's one I'd highly recommend to teens and adults and I'm pretty sure I'm going to kind of love the next one. 

More from Good Reads on books one and two:

DEMON'S LEXICON Nick and his brother, Alan, have spent their lives on the run from magic. Their father was murdered, and their mother was driven mad by magicians and the demons who give them power. The magicians are hunting the Ryves family for a charm that Nick's mother stole -- a charm that keeps her alive -- and they want it badly enough to kill again.
Danger draws even closer when a brother and sister come to the Ryves family for help. The boy wears a demon's mark, a sign of death that almost nothing can erase...and when Alan also gets marked by a demon, Nick is desperate to save him. The only way to do that is to kill one of the magicians they have been hiding from for so long.
Ensnared in a deadly game of cat and mouse, Nick starts to suspect that his brother is telling him lie after lie about their past. As the magicians' Circle closes in on their family, Nick uncovers the secret that could destroy them all.
DEMON'S COVENANT Mae Crawford's always thought of herself as in control, but in the last few weeks her life has changed. Her younger brother, Jamie, suddenly has magical powers, and she's even more unsettled when she realizes that Gerald, the new leader of the Obsidian Circle, is trying to persuade Jamie to join the magicians. Even worse? Jamie hasn't told Mae a thing about any of it. Mae turns to brothers Nick and Alan to help her rescue Jamie, but they are in danger from Gerald themselves because he wants to steal Nick's powers. Will Mae be able to find a way to save everyone she cares about from the power-hungry magician's carefully laid trap? [From Borders.com]


So, all that is left for me to do is tell you about the giveaway. It will be for your choice of book one, two or three of the series, whichever it is that you need to complete or start your collection (or if you already have them all, feel free to donate the book to your local library if you win!).  This is international as I will be using Book Depository. You have until this Thursday night (midnight MST). I will announce the winner on Friday and send the book out!

Don't forget to check out YA Bibliophile and Reading Housewives of Indiana for a round up of links for days one and two.
