BOOKS
Bone
Crier's Moon
by
Kathryn Purdie
Bone
criers have a sacred duty. They alone can keep the dead from preying
on the living. But their power to ferry the spirits of the dead in
goddess Elara's Night Heavens or Tyrus's underworld comes from
sacrifice. The gods demand a promise of dedication. And that promise
comes at the cost of the Bone Crier's one true love.
Ailesse
has been prepared since birth to become the matriarch of the Bone
Criers, a Famille of women who use strengths drawn from animal bones
to ferry dead souls. But first she must complete her rite of passage
and kill the boy she's also destined to love.
Bastien's
father was slain by a Bone Crier and he's been seeking revenge ever
since. Yet when he finally captures one, his vengeance will have to
wait. Ailesse's ritual has begun and now their fates are entwined--
in life and in death.
Sabine
has never had the stomach for the Bone Criers work. But when her best
friend Ailesse is taken captive, Sabine will do whatever it takes to
save her, even if it means defying their traditions-- and their
matriarch-- to break the bond between Ailesse and Bastien. Before
they all die.

Criers Moon will be released on March 10th 2020 by Harper

Havenfall
by Sara
Holland
A
safe haven between four realms. The girl sworn to protect it – at
any cost.
Hidden
deep in the mountains of Colorado lies the inn at Havenfall, a
sanctuary that connects ancient worlds-- each with their own magic--
together. For generations, the inn has protected all who seek refuge
within its walls, and any who disrupt the peace can never return.
For
Maddie Morrow, summers at the inn are more than a chance to
experience this magic first-hand. Havenfall is an escape from
reality, where her mother sits on death row accused of murdering
Maddie's brother. It's where Maddie fell in love with handsome
Fiorden soldier Brekken. And its where one day she hopes to inherit
the role of innkeeper from her beloved uncle.

But
this summer, the impossible happens-- a dead body is found,
shattering everything the inn stands for. With Brekken missing, her
uncle gravely injured, and a dangerous creature on the loose, Maddie
suddenly finds herself responsible for the safety of everyone in
Havenfall. Shell do anything to uncover the truth even if it means
working with an alluring new staffer Tanya, who seems to know more
than she's letting on. As dark secrets are revealed about the inn
itself, one thing becomes clear to Maddie-- no one can be trusted,
and no one is safe...

The
Midnight Lie
by
Marie Rutkoski
Where
Nirrin Lives, crime abounds, a harsh tribunal rules, and society's
pleasures are reserved for the High Kith. Life in the Ward is grim
and punishing. People of her Low status are forbidden from sampling
sweets or wearing bright colours. You either follow the rules, or pay
a tithe and suffer the consequences.
Nirrim

But

whispers rumours that the High Caste possesses magic. Sid tempts
Nirrim to seek that magic for herself, but to do that, Nirrim must
surrender her old life, she must place her trust in this sly stranger
who asks, above all, not to be trusted.

GAMES
Pokemon
Mystery dungeon: Rescue Team DX
For
those unfamiliar with the game, which has spawned four squeals (One
exclusive to Japan), it casts you as a human who gets turned into a
Pokemon and is made to team up with a partner to tackle dungeons. Its
got grid-based dungeon-crawling gameplay that's quite different from
what fans of the mainline Pokemon series are used to.
The
game will be released on switch on March 6th 2020 and pre-order is on
Amazon.
Ori
and the Will of the Wisps
Ori
and the Will of the Wisps is one of the most anticipated Xbox one
games of 2020, and if it is as good as its predecessor it could end
up being one of the best games of the year.
Ori
and the Will of the Wisps will released on X-Box One and on PC on
March 11th 2020
