I HEART YA #19: Quick, What Are You Reading?

Welcome to the 19th weekly I HEART YA Blog Carnival! I HEART YA is a Blog Carnival for readers, writers, and lovers of young adult fiction. Every Tuesday there will be a blogging prompt that celebrates my favorite reading genre --YA fiction. Bloggers are invited to write their own take on the topic and post a link in the comment section, or if you prefer just put your thoughts in the comments. Either way, if you own a blog, grab the button to show your pride, and add your link to the list below. If you're not sure what to do, go to the I HEART YA tab for more details.


Last week we had a little show-and-tell, so I figured we'd run with that theme for another week. This time the show-and-tell is your current read. I just started "The Golden Queen" by David Farland. It's a little off-course from my usual reads, but my son is a fan of Farland so I thought I'd give it a try. It's apparently a re-release of a book published by the same author using a different name in the 80s. Here's the book description from Amazon: 


When Gallen O’Day is hired to as a bodyguard to escort a young woman through the woods to the forbidden ruins at Geata Na Chruinn, it seems like an ordinary job—but all too soon, he finds himself fleeing for his life from creatures that seem like escapees from a nightmare—the alien dronon, led by their golden queen. With his best friend, a genetically engineered talking bear named Orick, and his girlfriend Maggie, Gallen soon finds himself tangled in an interstellar war that he never knew existed, racing across a host of worlds, confronted by a future unlike any that he had ever imagined. 

I'm only on the second chapter so I can't give a complete review, but I can say the writing is excellent so far. Maybe a little too flowery for my taste, (like the author swallowed a poetry book) but excellent none the less. I'm looking forward to delving into it. 


So what about you, what's your read for today?
