"With the whimsy of Alice in Wonderland and the romance of Outlander dive back into the next installment in the Librarian Chronicles."

Savannah Preston has a rare and precious gift: The ability to time travel through books. She, and others who share this unique ability, are faced with the insurmountable task of preserving history. They are known collectively as The Librarians.

While researching infamous Scottish outlaw Sir Malcolm Wash during the raging conflicts of the 14th Century, Savannah loses the only thing that tethers her to her own time. She must rely on her knowledge of both the present and the past to survive long enough to find a way home. Along the way, she enlists the help of a misfit named Eoin. With his guidance, she might just get home. It’s a risky and dangerous adventure, but then, so is Eoin…

Now on to the excerpt!

The most important research was kept inside the blank pages of a book. Each mission yielded a new book. Once that book was full and our mission complete, it was sealed. I’m a Librarian, but not in the typical sense. I haven’t earned the proper diploma to get such a title. I, along with many others throughout the world, preserve the history of some of the most famous historical figures inside the blank pages of each book we are sent. The Librarians was founded by a famous scientist, Harold Lockhart. Lockhart wrote the formula for time travel in the only thing he had near him when it was fresh in his brain. That book wasn’t empty, it happened to be the history of none other than, Abraham Lincoln. After he wrote the formula, he was whisked away in time and came face to face with Lincoln himself. The talent to travel and record history was never his intention, but after he realized how wrong historians were about the president, he created the group of Librarians. Lockhart put us in charge of libraries and their books. The sect of Librarians were given their jobs and they went to work straight away.

I myself hope to achieve the goal of working in a library with the official title someday, which is what I’m studying in school. My intention is to host my own library and help archive important time periods through my research as well as artifacts, like my grandma did. Like all the women did who came before her.

All I know about my job before I travel is who I’m to research. Everything else is learned while I’m inside the book, or in other words, the past.

I’m forbidden to change history by becoming involved in the past or with my target. 

But I can become friendly with them and immerse myself in their world. It’s hard not to become part of it. While I’m there I am more than just a girl recording the true history.

About Christy:

I am Southern California native, now living in New Jersey! How did that happen? I am married and have  two beautiful little girls who love to read just like Mommy. I have had a passion for books since I was a little girl and an imagination for just as long. I hope my books can inspire others to read and to write too.

Top Ten Tuesday (82)- My Top Ten Favorite Villains

Hi thanks for stopping by!!! And welcome to my Top 10 Tuesday post! 

Thanks to the lovely ladies at The Broke And The Bookish for creating this weekly meme!

Here's this week's topic.

October 4:  All About The Villains -- I don't think we've done a villains topic since back in November 2010 so let's revisit: top ten favorite/most compelling villains in books, top ten of the most vile villains/bad guys in books, top ten villains I secretly (or not so secretly) love, favorite tv villains, favorite comic book villains, ten "villains" of contemporary lit.

I love a good villain so I decided to do my all time favorite villains they may be from books, movies, or TV shows. I'll link to the goodreads page or IMDB page.


1. The Commander from Maria V. Snyder's Study and Glass books. This is one creepy ass villain and you never know his motives.

2. Sylar from Heroes. He is probably one of my all time favorite TV villains!

3. The Commandant from Sabaa Tahir's An Ember in The Ashes series. This chick is messed up

4. Warner's Father. The Supreme Commander from Tahereh Mafi's Shatter Me series. This is one bad dude.

5. Khan from the early Star Trek Movies. I'm talking Ricardo Montalban not Benedict Cumberbatch his Khan was a pussycat compared to Montalban's.

6. Voldemort & Umbridge. From both the Harry Potter books and movies. Voldermort was the true villain of the stories and her was awful but in my opinion Dolores Umbridge was worse.

7. Jack Randall from the Outlander books and TV series. He's just a disguising human being and I hate him.

8. The Fairy Queen Anise from Claire Legrand's Winterspell. She may seem nice and sweet she is one bad, bad person.

9. Neegan from The Walking Dead graphic novels and TV show. Yes we just met him on the show last season, and I know who he kills in the graphic novels. I have my fingers crossed it's not the same for the TV show. I love Jeffrey Dean Morgan too so I'm happy I get to see him play such an iconic villain.

10. Rose Red the haunted house in Stephen King's Rose Red Mini-series.(yes I'm talking about a house but it's no ordinary house). Trust me if you haven't seen this find a way to watch it! It's perfect for Halloween!

So what about you? Who are your favorite villains ? And check back next week for my Top Ten books I've read because friends recommended them to me!! 

Hugs,

Jaime

Dying To Read (169)- THE FREEMASON'S DAUGHTER by Shelley Sackier

Hey y’all thanks for stopping by to see my Dying to Read post and of course as always I have to give credit to the lovely Jill over at Breaking the Spine for the Waiting on Wednesday Meme!

I will be the first to admit I'm not a huge fan of this cover but I still want to read this! I mean they're calling it the Outlander series for YA I guess minus the time travel part but really what we love about Outlander isn't the time travel aspect it's the parts in Scotland lol!!!

Title: THE FREEMASON'S DAUGHTER

Author: Shelley Sackier 

Release Date: April 11, 2017

Publisher: HarperTeen

Pages: 384

Formats: Hardcover, eBook, audiobook

The Outlander series for the YA audience—a debut, full of romance and intrigue, set in early eighteenth-century Scotland.

Saying good-bye to Scotland is the hardest thing that Jenna MacDuff has had to do—until she meets Lord Pembroke. Jenna’s small clan has risked their lives traveling the countryside as masons, secretly drumming up support and arms for the exiled King James Stuart to retake the British throne. But their next job brings them into enemy territory: England.

Jenna’s father repeatedly warns her to trust no one, but when the Duke of Keswick hires the clan to build a garrison on his estate, it seems she cannot hide her capable mind from the duke’s inquisitive son, Lord Alex Pembroke—nor mask her growing attraction to him. But there’s a covert plan behind the building of the garrison, and soon Jenna must struggle not only to keep her newfound friendship with Alex from her father, but also to keep her father’s treason from Alex. 

Will Jenna decide to keep her family’s mutinous secrets and assist her clan’s cause, or protect the life of the young noble she’s falling for? 

In Shelley Sackier’s lush, vivid historical debut, someone will pay a deadly price no matter which choice Jenna makes.

So what do you think? Will you be adding this to your pile? What are you dying to read this week?
