*Yes, this is Black Friday. But since this is a discussion on the internet and not in person, please feel free to read the book and participate at any time.
The premise:
Humans and androids crowd the raucous streets of New Beijing. A deadly plague ravages the population. From space, a ruthless lunar people watch, waiting to make their move. No one knows that Earth’s fate hinges on one girl. . . .
Cinder, a gifted mechanic, is a cyborg. She’s a second-class citizen with a mysterious past, reviled by her stepmother and blamed for her stepsister’s illness. But when her life becomes intertwined with the handsome Prince Kai’s, she suddenly finds herself at the center of an intergalactic struggle, and a forbidden attraction. Caught between duty and freedom, loyalty and betrayal, she must uncover secrets about her past in order to protect her world’s future.
For December, I wanted to dream of a colder winter than I got in Texas last year, so all of these books have winter and snow as a theme. No, I didn’t nominate Game of Thrones and I’m not accepting it as a write-in either.
