So help me break through my reading block: what have you been reading this week?
The Dark Days Club Alison Goodman – YA shades of Georgette Heyer, older Amanda Quick paranormals, and a touch of the gothic. Very fun.
United Cory Booker – I’m a bit of a political junkie and & Booker is my political man crush. Good read.
Frost Burned and Night Broken – Patricia Briggs. Entertaining installments in the Mercy Thompson series.
The Hating Game – Sally Thorne. Lots of banter & antics to one up each other. Fun and fluffy it would make a great rom com movie.
I’ve been re-reading Courtney Milan’s _Brothers Sinister_ series. I love what she does within the frame of the romance novel.
Alexander McCall Smith’s latest no1 Ladies First Detective… Precious and Grace, always wonderful.
Trying to get into the spirit of the season I did a re-read of The Haunting of Hill House, always a classic, now I’m reading The Woman in Black for book club… so far, not very scary. I’m planning on picking up We Have Always Lived in the Castle this weekend as well… and the new Bridget Jones!
The Woman in Black does get better. How far into it are you?
Over half-way Betty. It’s just not scary enough. Perhaps I shouldn’t have read The Haunting of Hill House first, doh.
I’ve been in a bit of a slump too…but I did recently borrow Juliana Gray’s books from the library as I wait for them to bring in her latest. I read How To Tame Your Duke, and I’m now reading How to Master Your Marquis.
Sarah J. Maas’ books, both series. Darker fantasy, and wonderfully written. Her descriptions are so vivid!
Crosstalk by Connie Willis. It’s a screwball romantic comedy about telepathy and technology–a woman gets surgery to be emotionally bonded to her boyfriend, and ends up telepathically linked to the scruffy guy who works in the basement instead. I’m not done yet, but enjoying it. It’s dedicated to Mary Stewart, too(I’m assuming a shout out to the Ivy Tree).
The latest Amory Ames book by Ashley Weaver, “A Most Novel Revenge.” I love this series!
Make Your Home Among Strangers by Jennine Capó Crucet. I’m so glad to have discovered her! Plus, just finished Bad Feminist by Roxane Gay.
