Weekly Reading Round-Up
It’s been a hectic week trying to work on the Smith book and get ready for book tour at the same time (there’s always drama the week before book tour– wardrobe drama, scheduling drama, drama drama), but I know I’ll make up for it with lots of lovely airplane reading time.
In the meantime, I finished up my Charlotte MacLeod-a-thon with the third and fourth Janet and Madoc Rhys mysteries, A Dismal Thing To Do and Trouble in the Brasses, and now I’ve just finally started a new YA fantasy novel recommended to me by my best friend, who never recommends wrong. This one is called House of Salt and Sorrows, and takes the old story of the twelve dancing princesses to a mysterious seaside duchy. It’s got a very gothic vibe going so far.
Now, tell me: what have you been reading this week and what should I absolutely take with me to read on book tour?
Now back to packing!
I haven’t had much time for reading in a while, but last week I read The Wicked Redhead and I missed those characters so much. I can’t wait for the last book in the trilogy.
The Dancing Princesses was absolutely my favorite fairy tale as a kid (does anyone else remember the old tv show Faerie Tale Theatre?) so House of Salt and Sorrows definitely sounds interesting!
Enjoying the Mary Kingswood Silver Linings Regency romance/mystery series very much, (The Widow/The Lacemaker/The Apothecary), would make for good airplane reading 🙂
I’m in the middle of The Language of the Dead, a mystery in rural England in 1940. Prior to that, Blue Christmas by Emma Jameson, Blind Search by Paula Munier, and Slay Ride by Diane Vallere.
Loved Blue Christmas by Emma Jameson. Think any in the Blue series or her Dr Bones series would be great airplane reading. Just enjoyed Anna Campbell’s The Highlander’s Christmas Quest and Andrea Penrose’s A Question of Numbers. Also both great series.
I read an ARC of The Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly Lives in Your Home, the next Welcome to Night Vale book.
I’m reading Hazard the fifth book of the six part Rockliffe series by Stella Riley set in Georgian England. I’ve loved the four I’ve read so far.
Can’t wait to start that series. I read The Wicked Cousin and purchased all the others in the series. Definitely good airplane reading.
YA Regency Magical Mystery: Betraying Season by Marissa Doyle. It’s Persophe’s, or Persy’s, first season in London, and she’s a witch-in-training under her governess’ tutelage. When her beloved governess goes missing, Persy will have to accomplish the London season, land a husband, and unravel the mystery of the missing governess.
I like the sound of that one!
It’s awesome! There’s a sequel: Bewitching Season (about the heroine’s sister) and a prequel (starring the heroine’s mother). There’s also a third book in the series Charles Bewitched (about their younger brother).
I love book series that follow a family 🙂
