Three titles on this list that it feels like I’ve been waiting for forever – not that I haven’t had plenty else to read. But I always love to see new books by Anna Hackett and Rhys Ford. And I’ve been haunting Edelweiss in anticipation of The Fate of the Tearling, and it’s finally here! […]
I was holding off on this one a bit, waiting until I received one more book. Or I was going to buy one. The grid drives me to strange places. Four covers looks ugly. Five covers is OK. Seven comes out really well, but this just wasn’t a week where seven books jumped out at […]
In addition to the usual parcel of things that just looked interesting, I have a few special books this week. As you can see, I’m collecting the entire Fatal series by Marie Force. They’re irresistible! I also have three books that I’ve been waiting for with the proverbial bated breath. Belle Chasse and Cast in […]
This list just plain got out of hand. There’s a temptation every week, one that I often give in to, to make sure that the list hits an odd number. Odd numbers seem to make the graphic come out better. I have occasionally picked up an additional book (or three) just to make the picture […]
After loving both The Invisible Library and Just One Damned Thing After Another, naturally I couldn’t resist the following books in the series, even if I did have to buy the St. Mary’s books. There are a fair number of entries in series on this list. I loved Bauers’ Unbreakable last year, so I was […]
I tried mightily to resist the impulse to pick up the entire conference floor at ALA. We drove, so there was no baggage limit. That’s very dangerous. But I went to an author dinner where they signed their books, and another luncheon where a different group presented their books. Some things I picked up, and […]
I got nothing. Well, not exactly nothing, but almost nothing. I’m pretty sure this is the tiniest shelf-stack ever. After a couple of weeks of fairly tall stacks, it’s good in a way to see one that’s not so much. But I’m at the ALA Annual Conference right now, so next week’s stack could rival […]
When the Fatal series first came out, I remember being interested in reading it, but never got a round tuit. By the time I thought of it again, it was several books in and I just didn’t feel like playing catch up. So when TLC Book Tours was looking for reviewers who hadn’t read the […]
I got a virtual ton of books this week. At first, there was nothing on the list, and then it snowballed. I think this is a reflection of the September and October books appearing on NetGalley and Edelweiss. Summer is a slow publication season, and then BOOM! Also literal snowball. Snowfall on Haven Point is […]
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 […]
