Fridays Finds #1


Welcome to my first "Friday Finds" post!!!!!

This is a meme hosted by Should Be Reading what ya do is post up books that you discovered through bookstores, friends, goodreads etc whichever way you discovered them. But only post up the books you discovered during that FRIDAY week only. 


Books I discovered this week:

Title: Snow Like Ashes
Author: Sara Raasch

Synopsis (from Goodreads):

 A heartbroken girl. A fierce warrior. A hero in the making.

Sixteen years ago the Kingdom of Winter was conquered and its citizens enslaved, leaving them without magic or monarch. Now, the Winterians' only hope for freedom is the eight survivors who managed to escape, and who have been waiting for the opportunity to steal back Winter's magic and rebuild the kingdom ever since.


Orphaned as an infant during Winter's defeat, Meira has lived her whole life as a refugee, raised by the Winterians general, Sir. Training to be a warrior - and desperately in love with her best friend, and future king, Mather - she would do anything to help her kingdom rise to power again.


so when scouts discover the location of the ancient locket that can restore Winter's magic, Meira decides to go after it herself. Finally, she's scaling towers, fighting enemy soldiers, and serving her kingdom just as she's always dreaded she would. But the mission doesn't go as planned, and Meira soon finds herself thrust into a world of evil magic and dangerous politics - and ultimately comes to realise that her destiny is not, never has been her own.




Title: A Thousand Pieces of You
Author: Claudia Gray

Synopsis (from Goodreads):

Every Day meets Cloud Atlas in this heart-racing, space-and-time-bending, epic new trilogy from New York Times bestselling author Claudia Gray.

Marguerite Caine's physicist parents are known for their radical scientific achievements. Their most astonishing invention: the Firebird, which allows users to jump into parallel universes, some vastly altered from our own. But when Marguerite's father is murdered, the killer - her parent's handsome and enigmatic assistant Paul - escapes into another dimension before the law can touch him.

Marguerite can't let the man who destroyed her family go free, and she races after Paul through different universes, where their lives entangle in increasingly familiar ways. With each encounter she beings to question Paul's guilt - and her own heart. Soon she discovers the truth behind her father's death is more sinister than she ever could have imagined.

A Thousand Pieces of You explores a reality where we witness the countless other lives we might lead in an amazingly intricate multiverse, and ask whether, amid infinite possibilities, one love can endure.
