All the same kick-butt, take-no-crap Lois Lane, but teenage and learning how to channel that into being the best darn investigation journalist ever.  This is the sequel to my favorite Young Adult novel of 2015.

One of the most anticipated sequels this year; we have been waiting forever for this one but it was worth the wait!  More heroines and more funny. Read The Rook first!

Availability: Usually Available in 1-5 Days
Published: Tor Books - January 26th, 2016

A 2016 sequel and 3rd (or 6th, It’s complicated) book in one of the most interesting series I’ve ever read.  Both for Sanderson’s (my favorite author) ability to build impressive worlds and characters, and to write great action and make me laugh. 


The Blood Mirror (Lightbringer #4) By Brent Weeks Cover Image
$28.00
Email or call for price.
ISBN: 9780316251334
Published: Orbit - October 25th, 2016

Weeks has this oddly uncanny talent to draw me into his stories and this was no exception.  And main character, Gavin, has to be one of my favorites ever. (Weeks is yet another awesome author I’ve met in person and is the reason I got the chance to work at Flyleaf Books.)


The Obelisk Gate (The Broken Earth #2) By N. K. Jemisin Cover Image
$18.99
ISBN: 9780316229265
Availability: On Our Shelves Now
Published: Orbit - August 16th, 2016

The 2016 sequel to The Fifth Season (which happens to be the first book the Flyleaf Sci-fi/Fantasy Book Club gave its stamp of approval).  A continuation of an amazing story that obliquely and brilliantly alludes to problems in our own world.
