Epic schedule fail this week, combined with a deluge of stuff that I can’t wait to read. And in a couple of cases, didn’t. As I type this, I’m in the middle of Uncharted, and my review of Grace Draven’s half of For Crown and Kingdom is already up.
Binti came from the Hugo Awards Packet. I am an attending member of this year’s Worldcon (MidAmericaCon 2 in Kansas City in August) so I get the Hugo Voters’ Packet. While this year it’s Puppies all the way down, there are a few gems that I want to read that I haven’t. Binti is one of them. And it is blissfully short. The way my reading schedule keeps falling to bits, that’s an excellent thing. Even better when the book is also expected to be excellent.

Nice haul – I’m curious about Last Days of Night
I am too. The description of Erik Larson meets John Grisham has really got me curious!
WOW! You got a ton of cool books! I think, of all of them, Uncharted appeals to me the most. 😀 It’s a book 2 – do I need to read book 1 first? Some series don’t require that. I hope you enjoy all of your new books!
Have a fabulous weekend, Marlene. 🙂
Check out my STS post!
I just bought Star Nomad yesterday so I’m eager for your verdict (but I can’t imagine Buroker writing a bad book). Binti is on my wish list, and I’ll have to check out some of these others.
Nice haul. Most of these are new to me. I reviewed the Jeffe Kennedy story for Crown and Kingdom, but I haven’t gotten to Grace Draven’s yet. Hope you enjoy!
