Book Blurb:

To cold, emotionless faery prince Ash, love was a weakness for mortals and fools. His own love had died a horrible death, killing any gentler feelings the Winter prince might have had. Or so he thought.

Then Meghan Chase—a half human, half fey slip of a girl— smashed through his barricades, binding him to her irrevocably with his oath to be her knight. And when all of Faery nearly fell to the Iron fey, she severed their bond to save his life. Meghan is now the Iron Queen, ruler of a realm where no Winter or Summer fey can survive.

With the (unwelcome) company …

Hot on the heels of recent announcements that a new series is in the works, as well as a companion series to The Iron King books, one thing is for sure: Julie Kagawa is a very busy woman! Fortunately, she sat down with us to chat about her latest release, The Iron Knight. Please help us offer Ms. Kagawa a warm Booklovers welcome! (And stick around till the end for a little something extra 🙂

Jackie: What do you think is the difference between a reader and a real Book Lover?

Julie: Hmm, is there a difference? I guess a reader is someone who reads and enjoys the story, but a real Book Lover is someone who falls in love with the characters, can’t wait to get home to start reading, thinks of books as treasured possessions, and would rather be engrossed in a story than anything else.

Jackie: What can we expect …

Around the Bookish World: News Week-in-Review

I hope everyone had a fantastic Easter/Passover break! This week has been an interesting one for WTFERY and developments.

An interesting report from the US has found that ibooks store is not the success that Apple aims it to be, this is partly due to the fact that people who have ipads aren’t using it to primarily read ebooks and that only 40 percent of ipad users have read a book. Another 45 percent has stated they would prefer reading an ebook on their macs or PCs.

Agents are now stipulating that price escalators for ebook royalties should be implemented more widely, due to the rise of ebooks, especially when they have overtaken Mass Market print books earlier this year. 

Self Published author Stephanie Mcafee has joined the ranks of Amanda Hocking into mainstream traditional publishing as she scored …

Book Blurb:Meghan Chase used to be an ordinary girl…until she discovered that she is really a faery princess. After escaping from the clutches of the deadly Iron fey, Meghan must follow through on her promise to return to the equally dangerous Winter Court with her forbidden love, Prince Ash. But first, Meghan has one request: that they visit Puck–Meghan’s best friend and servant of her father, King Oberon–who was gravely injured defending Meghan from the Iron Fey. Yet Meghan and Ash’s detour does not go unnoticed. They have caught the attention of an ancient, powerful hunter–a foe that even Ash may not be able to defeat….

Interview with Author Julie Kagawa

We are really happy and excited to have Julie Kagawa here with us today, author of the Iron Fey series, which includes The Iron King, Winter’s Passage (read my review of it later today), and the upcoming The Iron Daughter. I was lucky enough to have already read The Iron Daughter which is going to be released July 27th, so most of the questions center around that…

The YA Lover: In The Iron Daughter, Meghan grows from what I can only call a meek, timid, shy girl willing to “go with the flow” to a strong ray of light, blinding and ever present in her resolve, love and determination; did you mirror her after anyone in your life or is she perhaps a melting pot of amazing qualities those around you possess? JK: Meghan was actually the hardest character …

Book Blurb:

Meghan Chase has never fit in at her small-town high school, and now, on the eve of her 16th birthday, she discovers why. When her half brother is kidnapped, Meghan is drawn into a fantastical world she never imagined–the world of Faery, where anything you see may try to eat you, and Meghan is the daughter of the summer faery king. Now she will journey into the depths of Faery to face an unknown enemy . . . and beg the help of a winter prince who might as soon kill her as let her touch his icy heart. The Iron King is the first book in the Iron Fey series.
