Free White Cat Download

If you haven't had a chance to start into Holly Black's a-MAZ-ing Curse Workers series, then I seriously recommend that you take a moment and go sign up for the Random House newsletter which will give you a free audiobook version of White Cat, book one (here's my review of White Cat and Red Glove). It's narrated by Jesse Eisenberg and is awesome stuff. Happy Wednesday.

Free Read! The New World by Patrick Ness

A big, hearty thanks to the lovely Holly over at The Book Harbinger for bringing this to my attention. Patrick Ness is one of the best dystopian voices out there and if you haven't read his incredible Chaos Walking series yet, well, why not?! It seems after the release of his third and final book, Monsters of Men (which I still have yet to read, but am dying to do so), Patrick Ness decided to gift his readers with a short story from Viola's POV set before she crashes (literally) into Todd Hewitt's world, entitled The New World. It's short -- but it's chock full of all the good things we've come to know and love about Patrick Ness' addictive writing. So be sure to head over and download it for free while you can!

Free Novella! Winter's Passage by Julie Kagawa

After falling in love with the debut novel The Iron King by Julie Kagawa several weeks ago, I have been eagerly anticipating the release of the novella Winter's Passage, set in the time period between The Iron King and The Iron Daughter which follows Meghan and Ash on their perilous journey deep into the heart of Winter. It's out now, so be sure to check it out - especially since Harlequin Teen is offering it as a free download between now and July 31st.
