I've been adding books to my TBR list like crazy, even though my reading has slowed down. Here are some of the titles I've jotted down in the last two days:
Blood Harvest by S. J. Bolton and author Dorothy Whipple- recommended by Danielle. Blood Harvest sounds super spooky (sssss) and love the cover. And I'm determined to try Ms. Whipple at some point.
Border Songs by Jim Lynch - recommended by Sam. Sam says the characters remind him of The Confederacy of Dunces--'nough said.
Cherries in Winter, Dead End Gene Pool (I turned down an ARC, my bad), and The Passage - recommended by Nancy.
The Affinity Bridge - recommended by Iliana. "Steampunk is making a comeback, and with this novel Mann is leading the charge….An engaging melodrama that rattles along at a breakneck pace.” —The Guardian" Another cover to love.
Even though my reading has slowed down, I'm still experiencing book lust. Is that a deadly sin?
The Affinity Bridge is on my wishlist, although I have no idea where I read about it. I'll be looking forward to reading your thoughts about that one.
ReplyDeleteCherries in Winter and Dead End Gene Pool were both so-so -- not favorites (Dead End Gene Pool is sad, but fascinating for the glimpse into the Vanderbilt lifestyle) but I liked them; I hope you do, too. The Passage is my favorite of the three. I almost feel bad saying that. It's not like that book hasn't gotten enough attention, but what the heck. It's quite a ride and I loved it. I confess. :)
Oh I had not heard about the Jim Lynch book but it's going on my list now!
ReplyDeleteI know after reading Danielle's review of the Bolton book I definitely want to read it.
I hope you'll enjoy Affinity Bridge whenever you get to it. Lots of fun.
