This weeks book that I'm desperate waiting to get my hands on:

Goodreads Summary
SERPENTINE is a sweeping fantasy set in the ancient Kingdom of Xia and inspired by the rich history of Chinese mythology.
Lush with details from Chinese folklore, SERPENTINE tells the coming of age story of Skybright, a young girl who worries about her growing otherness. As she turns sixteen, Skybright notices troubling changes. By day, she is a companion and handmaid to the youngest daughter of a very wealthy family. But nighttime brings with it a darkness that not even daybreak can quell.
When her plight can no longer be denied, Skybright learns that despite a dark destiny, she must struggle to retain her sense of self – even as she falls in love for the first time.

Why I'm desperate for Serpentine:
I read Cindy Pon's Kingdom of Xia series when I was in high school and just simply fell in love with her writing and the world she created. So, it's no surprise that I'm super excited for Serpentine! I really can't wait to dive back into her world of Chinese mythology!
