Anyways, December's pick is Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas. Not that we'd pick out anything not good for you to read, but srrsly, this one is LARGE AMOUNTS OF WIN. It's like The Hunger Games meets Game of Thrones. Or, if you've already read The Selection by Kiera Cass (think Hunger Games + The Bachelor TV show), it's like The Selection, but with ninja skills. Yeah, awesome.
Check out the cover and summary:
Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
After serving out a year of hard labor in the salt mines of Endovier for her crimes, 18-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien is dragged before the Crown Prince. Prince Dorian offers her her freedom on one condition: she must act as his champion in a competition to find a new royal assassin.
Her opponents are men-thieves and assassins and warriors from across the empire, each sponsored by a member of the king's council. If she beats her opponents in a series of eliminations, she'll serve the kingdom for three years and then be granted her freedom.
Though Celaena's bored stiff by court life, things get a little more interesting when the prince starts to show interest in her... but it's the gruff Captain Westfall who seems to understand her best.
Then one of the other contestants turns up dead... quickly followed by another. Can Celaena figure out who the killer is before she becomes a victim? As the young assassin investigates, her search leads her to discover a greater destiny than she could possibly have imagined.
Mmmmmmawesome. Sounds like a good way to spend your Thanksgiving vacation, no? And don't forget to come to the meeting (and if you didn't get to read the book, come anyway): December 6th, 6pm. BAM.
