We are thrilled to welcome Libba Bray to readergirlz. Her third novel in the Gemma Doyle trilogy, The Sweet Far Thing, is our October pick! Check out the our interview with Libba, book party ideas themed around The Sweet Far Thing, and our Reach Out project idea--as well as the awesome soundtrack Libba's chosen for the book--on readergirlz.com.Here's a little about the book: It's been a year of change since Gemma Doyle arrived at the foreboding Spence Academy and discovered her ability to travel to an enchanted world called the realms, where dark magic runs deep. Now, enemies old and new will stop at nothing to take the magical power bound to her. With the fate of realms and her Victorian world hanging in the balance, her London debut approaching, her friendships on the line, and her relationship with the mysterious Kartik taking a new, forbidden turn, Gemma will face her greatest - and most dangerous - trial yet, one with consequences beyond imagining.
