Emily from A Short Book Lover and I have created a weekly feature called Let’s Talk YA. – a feature simply to just share and talk about the books you love. So our posts will all be centered around amazing UKYA authors.
It’s been a while since I did a Let’s Talk YA and I feel I left Emily a bit to pick it up on her blog. I’m so sorry. But I’m back and I’m going to make sure I keep up with it a bit more. I have so many amazing UKYA authors to talk about and these authors are very fitting with the time of year. They recently revealed the cover of a brand new series which looks so amazing and I can’t wait to read it.
This week’s pick is The Witch’s Kiss by Katharine and Elizabeth Corr.
A modern day fairytale, sleeping beauty, magic and the importance of family. The Witch’s Kiss series was one the best UKYA fantasy I read in a long time. Actually thinking about it, it now reminds me of a teen Discovery of Witches type book. I loved how addictive and real the world was when it was set in Surrey so close to where I live. I loved Merry and her brother, Leo the bond between them was really quite touching. But I guess there hasn’t also been a grandparent that I’ve adored quite like Gran. She reminded me so much of my own nan.
I’ve met these lovely ladies during the my first ever author event in my school librarian job. They’ve been so supportive too of my blog and talking to them on twitter.
If you haven’t read this series, make sure you do. I think you can get all three in The Works for £8 – it’s really worth it and it’s the perfect time of year too. I’m right up for fantasy with the nights drawing in and the snuggling up with a cup of tea.
Also look at the cover reveal for their series Throne of Swans… isn’t it gorgeous.
So let’s talk… Have you read The Witch’s Kiss or anything by Kate & Liz? I can’t wait for What did you think about? Lets shout to the heavens about this book. Use the hashtag #LetsTalkYA – we’ll be shouting on Twitter too.
Thanks for stopping by and please let me know if you like our new feature. Your thoughts and comments would be amazingly appreciated. Don’t forget to head over to Emily’s blog for her suggestion…
I haven’t read anything by them, but I do love this cover.
The Witch’s Kiss does sound like a great read for this time of the year. I hadn’t heard of A Throne of Swans before but it sounds interesting so I’m excited for it’s release.
