Spring is my favorite season. I love the clarity of the light and the freshness in the air. I love the infinite shades of green; the rich, earthy scent of growing things; the medley of bird calls at the break of day.
And, this spring, in the library, I love the arrival of the sequels. Any of you who have enjoyed a series, know the thrill of spotting the latest installment on the library shelf. Well, the wait is over and you can finally find out what new complications your favorite characters will experience.
The following sequels are ready to be borrowed.
The Calling: This is the second book in Kelley Armstrong's Darkness Rising series, which began with The Gathering.
Out of Sight, Out of Time is the fifth book in Ali Carter's funny, fast-paced Gallagher Girls series.
The Last Hope is yet another installment of the famous Warriors series by Erin Hunter.
The Last Echo is the third volume in Kimberley Derting's Body Finder series.
Lauren Conrad, writer of the L. A. Candy trilogy, has just published a new, but related book, The Fame Game.
A wonderful dystopian novel, Delirium, is now followed by Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver.
Those of you who loved Kristin Cashore's Graceling and Fire will likely be surprised that there is a third book now out, Bitterblue. It's due to arrive in your library any day.
Recently arrived is the ninth volume in the immensely popular manga series, Black Butler.
I just got word this morning that the publisher has released The Serpent's Shadow, the third Kane Chronicles book by Rick Riordan. A lot of readers at HPSS are hooked on this series. I expect the book in by the end of next week.
There are many more sequels being released in early May, so keep an eye on this blog in order to be the first to pick up the latest volume in your favorite series.
