Chime by Franny Billingsley
Hardback/361 pages



Before Briony's stepmother died, she made sure Briony blamed herself for all the family's hardships. Now Briony has worn her guilt for so long it's become a second skin. She often escapes to the swamp, where she tells stories to the Old Ones, the spirits who haunt the marshes. But only witches can see the Old Ones, and in her village, witches are sentenced to death. Briony lives in fear her secret will be found out, even as she believes she deserves the worst kind of punishment.

Then Eldric comes along with his golden lion eyes and mane of tawny hair. He's as natural as the sun, and treats her as if she's extraordinary. And everything starts to change. As many secrets as Briony has been holding, there are secrets even she doesn't know.


I want to read this story so bad, I have had it for some months and just keep getting too busy with review books to pick it up. I read the first couple chapters when I first bought it and the writing was mesmerizing! It is so beautiful, once I get threw some review books I cannot wait to finish this one!!! Have you read Chime? How was it? 

What's getting Dusty on your shelf? (:
