On the one hand, this list is still the result of my recent epic book flail. I loved the first books in the Forensic Instincts series, but somehow it dropped off my book radar. When I realized I was coming to an end of my St. Cyr catch up read and needed a new comfort […]
I was having a bit of an epic book flail at the end of the week, Audible was having a sale, Tor Books was very, very kind about an advanced listening copy of Starter Villain as I’d already read and reviewed the book, AND I received a review assignment for book 6 in a series […]
I am head over heels in love with both the cover of The Kamogawa Food Detectives as well as the premise of the story. I don’t know about you, but there are certainly meals from my childhood that I would love to recreate, meals that my grandma cooked and of course never wrote down any […]
Without a doubt, the book on this list I’m most looking forward to reading is Terry Pratchett’s A Stroke of the Pen. Because more of Sir Terry is always a treat. The supply, as we all know, is terminally limited, so anything that adds even a mote to the canon is to be celebrated. I’m […]
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 […]
The lists are calming down again as the publishing push shifts from the huge fall lists to the much smaller winter lists. It’ll go back up again sooner or later. What goes down must come up, after all. The two books I’m MOST looking forward to are A Pirate’s Life for Tea and The Imposition […]
The book I’m looking the most forward to in this stack is Assistant to the Villain, because I loved, Loved, LOVED Hench and this is giving me the same delicious vibes. I adore stories where people are good at what they do, even if that means that they are very, very good at being very, […]
it’s easy to see the influence of this past Tuesday’s review of Murder on Black Swan Lane in this stack. I had a surprising number of books in this series buried in the virtually towering TBR pile, so there wasn’t as much left for me to pick up as I feared. The whole thing is […]
Let’s just say that the ALA Convention was a bit of a target-rich environment when it comes to finding new books to read! I do my very best to walk away with empty hands – because my back just won’t take the load of books these days – but that doesn’t stop me from queuing […]
As you read this we are probably just back home after our trip. A trip that included the American Library Association Annual Conference, where I probably learned about yet more titles to add to the virtually towering TBR pile. But as I’m doing this post pretty far ahead, as of right this minute nearly two […]
