Because I seem to be in the midst of an epic, multi-week book flail, I’m particularly susceptible to any book that looks shiny and interesting and different from the literally hundred that are already on the virtually towering TBR pile. Which quite possibly explains why I bought a copy of Heather Graham’s Secrets in the Dark. I liked the first book in the Blackbird Trilogy, Whispers at Dusk, more than enough to want to complete the set but wasn’t able to get an eARC for the middle book (HORRORS!) and suddenly didn’t have the patience to wait for my library hold to come in. That probably also explains The Book Club Hotel, because the idea of a vacation purely for the purpose of discussing books with like-minded friends sounds terribly appealing! As, come to think of it, does that pretty winter scene depicted on the cover – at least it does NOW, in the midst of this epic heat wave!

You got a lot of books this week! I haven’t read any of these but might have to check some of them out. Have a great weekend!
These are mostly prepub, but a lot of them are second books in series so if something looks interesting to you there’d be one to start with now. LOL here I am passing my addictions to other people. Have a great weekend yourself!

I read Cory Doctorow’s first book when it came out years ago, but I’ve lost track of all of his books since.

I’m hit or miss on Doctorow but the Martin Hench series is a good old-fashioned caper series with a new tech twist. So if you like stuff like Ocean’s 11 or even Leverage try Red Team Blues.

It does, doesn’t it? That whole idea of taking a vacation just to read and hang out with friends sounds like such a treat. Have a good week!

That’s a lot of reading for sure but I totally get it. It’s just fun to keep adding to the pile. I hope you enjoy the ones you get to!
I hope you enjoy all of these! My reading has been almost nonexistent–or so it feels like–lately. I think I finished two books in July. I am looking forward to reading Starling House and The Book Club Hotel, which appealed to me for the same reason it did you.
