I honestly didn’t think there would be much this week, considering the official US holiday on Thursday and the unofficial holiday on Friday. But my prognostications turned out to be more than a bit off and brought me some lovely books this week. I’ve already read Never Too Old to Save the World and it […]
It’s not just me, is it? This year is going by really, really fast? The Thankful for Books Giveaway Hop starts on OMG MONDAY! and Thanksgiving is less than a week away! I know “time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana” but this year has just zipped by. At warp speed! I […]
A few more books this week because last week a faithful follower of Reading Reality recommended Combined Operations as a readalike for Steel Fear. And I was tempted… In other reading notes, someone in my reading group made the observation that publishers have been using “romcom” as a replacement description for “contemporary romance” – even […]
Out of a mere nine books, I have one I’ve just finished, one I’ve been waiting for for months, one that requires me to check to see if I’m caught up with it’s series and one book in a new series by a favorite author that I’m terribly curious to read. All of that, and […]
Another short stack for a week I’m cutting off a bit early. This isn’t exactly a stack of pretty covers, but there are several I’m really curious about, particularly A Quiet Teacher and Rubicon. (Please tell me I’m not the only person who enjoyed the movie Edge of Tomorrow for the opportunity to watch Tom […]
It’s kind of a short stack this week, and that’s likely to be normal for the next few months. But happily, two old book friends are back in this stack, Sebastian St. Cyr and Miranda Chase. The St. Cyr book won’t actually be out until April, but I’m happy to have it now. Howsomever, Miranda’s […]
This is certainly an interesting bunch of new books! I got lucky with a couple of the Audible Daily Deals, which accounts from some of the audiobooks, but the ones that really intrigue me this week are the “book books”. I’m fascinated by the concept of Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea because it looks like […]
Hands down – or perhaps that should be covers up – the one I’m most looking forward to in this batch is this year’s Pets in Space collection. Because pets. In space. With romance. What’s not to love? I’m also looking with deep curiosity at Engines of Chaos by R.S. Ford. Because the first book […]
I said these would start getting smaller, and they have. YAY! If you’re wondering why, it’s because of the ALA committee that I’m on, jokingly referred to as the ‘Overachievers’ Book Club’. To be eligible for the awards that we’re working on this year, a book has to be published between 11/1/2021 and 10/31/2022. While […]
I absolutely did pick up Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone for the title. Because seriously, who could resist? I have The Cradle of Ice because the first book in the series, The Starless Crown was intriguing – if a bit uneven. And the audio of God of Neverland was an Audible Daily Deal. […]
