Review Copies
Visions of the Mutant Rain Forest by Robert Frazier, Bruce Boston - For over 20 years Robert Frazier and Bruce Boston have been writing stories and poems set in the Mutant Rain Forest. Most of these stories/poems have appeared in magazines and anthologies but two stories and five poems are original to this collection. "In the mutant rain forest it’s adapt or be redacted." I'm excited to explore these stories as they will all be new to me.
Meddling Kids by Edgar Cantero - I just discovered Meddling Kids this past week, but it has jumped to one of my most anticipated reads of this year. I'm going to let this blurb right here speak for itself "The surviving members of a forgotten teenage detective club (and their dog) must reunite as broken adults to finally solve the terrifying case that ruined them all and sent the wrong man to prison. Scooby Doo and the gang never had to do this!"

If you like scifi and mysteries, it's a great pick.
DeleteI read a Yardley book a few years back called Nameless(I think?). She is someone I should check back with, I recall enjoying it. And Six Wakes is getting great reviews.
ReplyDeleteI think I own a copy of Nameless, but this is the first Yardley I have read. I need to read more from her as well.
DeleteAwesome books. Some of the books are new to me. I hope you love all of your new books.

DeleteI remember those rare child free mornings. I hope your son did okay on his night away. Enjoy all of your new books!
ReplyDeleteIt was a nice, weird morning. :) He did great. Thanks!
DeleteI enjoyed Six Wakes, curious to hear what you thought of it :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed it, too. :)
DeleteLOL because you can. Yup savor those times. :) I just finished Six Wakes and was quite impressed. Meddling Kids? Looks fun!
ReplyDelete:D I look forward to your thoughts on Six Wakes.
DeleteI just finished Six Wakes as well. Can't wait to hear what you think! I thought it was such a wonderful surprise, Mur Lafferty has a new fan in me :)
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
I was surprised by it, too. I can't wait to hear everyone's thoughts. :)
DeleteCake and ginger ale for breakfast sounds like a good idea!
ReplyDeleteAnd Meddling Kids - what what!! I need to read it. Scooby Doo was my favorite growing up, and I still love to tune in to the old cartoons when I can find them. :)
Right?! Grown up Scooby Doo kids? I'm so there!!
DeleteOh man I could use a child free morning and I think chocolate cake and ginger ale sounds like a mighty fine breakfast :) Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteIt was a rare morning for sure! :)
DeleteChocolate cake for breakfast is only second to cold pizza for me. Now I want both. Ha ha. I hemmed and hawed about requesting Meddling Kids and then decided not to because I have been trying to cut down on ARCs. I will be looking out for your review because the premise is really intriguing. Have a wonderful week. :)
ReplyDeleteAh, yes, the cold pizza breakfast. Now we are going back to some good times... :)
DeleteI love that you had chocolate cake for breakfast! Awesome! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteSometimes you have to live on the edge. :) Thanks!
DeleteI love your breakfast! :) I have Meddling Kids to review it does sound like a good one! Hope we both end up enjoying it!
ReplyDeleteStormi
:) I'm glad you are reading Meddling Kids, too, Stormi! I have a great feeling about it.
DeleteHappy birthday to your son! Cake for breakfast sounds good to me! Meddling Kids sounds really good and I added it to my TBR. I hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking I need to have cake for breakfast more often! :)
DeleteI love cake for breakfast! It's one of the best things about being an adult, lol. Meddling Kids sounds like it could be really good! I loved Scooby Doo as a kid, and I always wondered what would happen if they got it wrong.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great week!
Haha. One of the great privileges of being an adult! I really can't wait to read Meddling Kids.
DeleteMeddling Kids does sound good. I'll have to look for a copy. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great week, Kathy!
DeleteOkay, I would totally read Meddling Kids! Sounds like fun - we quote that classic line from the Scooby Doo cartoon all the time: "would have gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for you meddling kids!" LOL
ReplyDeleteLOL. :D
DeleteI can't wait to read your thoughts on the Mutant Rain Forest. That cover is just calling out to me.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to reading it. For some reason, the poems are really calling to me. It will probably be my next read this week.
DeletePS My kids are young adults now but we still rejoice whenever we get the house to ourselves which isn't often. Enjoy it!
ReplyDelete:D It's weird without the kids around. So quiet... Haha.
DeleteInteresting books. Enjoy! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Have a great week!
DeleteLots of new to me titles here - I'll have to look into them. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteIt's kind of a strange mix of books. :)
