Reign of Serpents| Waiting on Wednesday [#57]
Hey guys!
Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine that spotlights highly anticipated upcoming releases.
So here’s what I’m waiting on this week!
Reign of Serpents
Author: Eleanor Herman
Series: Blood of Gods and Royals #3
Genre: YA, Fantasy
Publisher: Harlequin Teen
Publication Date: June 27th 2017
In REIGN OF SERPENTS, the ancient power of Snake Blood threatens the known world. While Prince Alexander struggles with a very deadly inner demon, his betrothed, Zofia, is on her way to him, to unite their kingdoms…even as she begins to realize where her true allegiance lies.
The fierce Cynane meets her match-not in her future husband, the deranged king of Illyria, but in her great-great-grandfather, Talus, possessor of Smoke Blood, who will teach her the true meaning of betrayal. And marooned together on an island in the Mediterranean, romantic tension blooms between Katerina and Hephaestion as they learn of lost civilizations and discover a device that could help them do the impossible: kill the last living god.
Why I’m Waiting
I absolutely love this series! This new take on Alexander the Great has expanded on the stories and characters with many fantastical twists and turns. Can’t wait to see what happens next!
P.S. Eleanor Herman is the author of The Legacy of Kings, and Empire of Dust.
What has you guys waiting this week? Let me know down below!
Until next time,

Do-Gooder by j. leigh bailey | COVER REVEAL
Hey guys!
I have an exciting post for you today! It is the cover revealing for this cool new book by j. leigh bailey from Corvisiero Literary Agency. Check it out!
Do-Gooder by j. leigh bailey
Published by Harmony Ink Press on September 15th 2016
Genres: Young Adult, Contemporary, LGBT+
Pages: 200
Series: Standalone
LINKS: Good Reads
No good deed goes unpunished, and for seventeen-year-old Isaiah Martin, that’s certainly the case. The gun he was caught with wasn’t even his, for God’s sake. He only had it to keep a friend from doing something stupid. No one wants to hear it though, and Isaiah is banished—or so it seems to him—to live with his missionary father in politically conflicted Cameroon, Africa.However, when he arrives, his father is so busy doing his good deeds that he sends Henry, the young, surprisingly hot do-gooder with a mysterious past, to pick up Isaiah and keep him out of trouble. Even while Isaiah is counting down the days until he can go home, he and Henry get caught in the political unrest of the region. Kidnapped by militant forces, the two have to work together to survive until they are rescued—unless they manage to find a way to save each other first.
About j. leigh bailey
j. leigh bailey is an office drone by day and the author of Young Adult LGBT Romance by night. She can usually be found with her nose in a book or pressed up against her computer monitor. A book-a-day reading habit sometimes gets in the way of… well, everything…but some habits aren’t worth breaking. She’s been reading romance novels since she was ten years old. The last twenty years or so have not changed her voracious appetite for stories of romance, relationships and achieving that vitally important Happy Ever After. She’s a firm believer that everyone, no matter their gender, age, sexual orientation or paranormal affiliation deserves a happy ending.She wrote her first story at seven, which was, unbeknownst to her at the time, a charming piece of fan-fiction in which Superman battled (and defeated, of course) the nefarious X Luther. She was quite put out to be told, years later, that the character’s name was actually Lex. Her second masterpiece should have been a best-seller, but the action-packed tale of rescuing her little brother from an alligator attack in the marshes of Florida collected dust for years under the bed instead of gaining critical acclaim.
Now she writes Young Adult LGBT Romance novels about boys traversing the crazy world of love, relationships and acceptance.

Autumn is Awesome | TAG
Hey guys!
I was tagged by Trisha Ann from The Bookgasm Blog. SO thank you my dear! Autumn is my favorite season, so I couldn’t pass this one up.
What is your favorite thing about Autumn?
EVERYTHING.
The weather gets cooler. The leaves change to pretty colors. I get to start layering my clothes again with SWEATERS. (My favorite pieces of clothing) I get to drink my tea without sweating. I get to curl up with my favorite blanket and cuddle.
What is there not to love about Autumn??
What book reminds you of your school days?
The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton!
I’ve had to read this book so many times over the years I can’t even count anymore. It still holds the top spot in favorite school reads!
What cover reminds you of autumn?
Its the color scheme I guess!
What is your favorite horror or Halloween story?
I don’t really have one, as I have not read any books in the horror genre before. But I did make a promise to myself to have a butt load ready for next year’s Halloween!
What is your favorite horror or Halloween film?
Hands down it’s Scream by Wes Craven! It will forever be my favorite horror movie of all time because it holds such nostalgic memories for me. Even though it may not be the scariest or the best out there, it will still remain a classic until the end of time.
What fall book release are you looking forward to?
Autumn doesn’t end until December 21 I think, so Frozen Tides by Morgan Rhodes still counts as a Fall release. I am counting down the days. 15 more to go until I can get my hand on this beauty!!
What autumn movie release are you anticipating?
I will admit, I don’t watch a lot of movies in theaters… So I will just go with the obvious answer of Mockingjay Part 2. (Even though I probably won’t watch it in the theaters.
What are the three books you plan to read this autumn?
As this is the tale end of the season, I won’t be tagging anyone. BUT I hope you enjoyed reading.
Until next time,
Books at Dawn
