Look what I found in my post office box on Christmas Eve — an initially mysterious parcel stamped “Australia Post” that turned out to contain two beautiful hardback books: Crown of Bones<\/em><\/strong> and Curse of Shadows<\/em> <\/strong>by AK Wilder.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Respectively, they’re Books One and Two in Kim’s Amassia<\/strong><\/a> series, and although I read Crown of Bones<\/em> in e-format when it first came out, Curse of Shadows<\/em> was only just published on 6 December.<\/p>\n

So it’s literally hot off the press — and arriving at the perfect time for holiday reading!<\/p>\n

Not that there’s too much reading time for me currently, being so close to the end of WALL #4 and feeling the need to keep going. Still, like any keen reader, I’m always delighted to receive a “next exciting series instalment” — especially one that School Library Journal has given a starred review, with this to say:<\/p>\n

“Wilder has created a magical, enthralling world<\/strong> that keeps readers engaged from the first page.”<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n

I do love these covers and the hardback format, too. But irrespective of format and ‘look’, nothing ever beats the gift of a fellow author’s books.<\/p>\n

So a big thank you to Kim. Needless to say, I’m looking forward to diving into the continuing story of Ash and Kaylin, Marcus and Salila, and the rest of the “band of friends” in the Amassia world.<\/p>\n
