Leigh Bardugo:
I read The Grisha Trilogy a few months ago and it's one of my favorite series of all time. The trilogy-Shadow and Bone, Siege and Storm, and Ruin and Rising- was written by the amazingly talented Leigh Bardugo. The series is a must-read for anybody who has not read her books yet!

The story is set in Leigh Bardugo's fantasy world of Ravka in the city of Ketterdam where a criminal prodigy has been offered the heist of a lifetime, bound to make him rich beyond anything he's ever seen before. But he can't do it alone...
"A convict with a thirst for revenge.
A sharpshooter who can't walk away from a wager.
A runaway with a privileged past.
A spy known as the Wraith.
A Heartrender using her magic to survive the slums.
A thief with a gift for unlikely escapes." (Amazon)
Six outcasts. One grand adventure.
This cover is so beautiful. It really ties into that whole Ravkan culture that mixes in some Russian style elements. I can't wait to read this!!

Marissa Meyer:
This author has written the New York Times-bestselling The Lunar Chronicles. These books were amazing retellings of fairy tales in modern times. This book incorporates your Grimm's Fairy Tales with the Syfy technology of cyborgs, androids, and hover crafts!
Her books include: Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, and Fairest- the story of the evil Queen Levana!
And her final book in the Lunar Chronicles will be released on November 10, 2015! It is called Winter! I cannot wait to see how this series will end- and hopefully on a good note!
But her new book is a hefty thing (*yaaay!) with exactly 824 amazing pages of Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, and Winter!!!! (And IKO!! We can't forget Iko!!)

Before she was an author, Meyer wrote dozens of Sailor Moon fan fictions. To celebrate the journey from fan fiction to NYT's bestseller, a contest is being held until September 30th!!!
