And then Friday I posted my ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review of A Lush and Seething Hell by John Hornor Jacobs.

Walking to Aldebaran by Adrian Tchaikovsky ⭐⭐⭐⭐★ - This book had the perfect balance of world building and humor.

Currently Reading
Yay! The new Wayward Children book released this week! I started reading it this weekend because I just couldn't wait any longer.
Recent Acquisitions
Tor.com kindly granted me ecopies of The Empress of Salt and Fortune by Nghi Vo and Flyaway by Kathleen Jennings. I am highly anticipating both of these reads.
I gave into temptation and also grabbed copies of The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones and The Hidden Girl and Other Stories by Ken Liu since these are highly anticipated reads as well.
Many thanks to Gallery Books for sending me copies of Truth Be Told by Kathleen Barber and The Tenant by Katrine Engberg.
I bought a copy of The Twisted Ones by T. Kingfisher for the January group read in the Ladies of Horror Fiction goodreads group.
I also bought a couple of fantasy back titles that I'm in the mood to read this year: The Ruin of Kings by Jenn Lyons and You Die When You Die by Angus Watson.
So what about you? Let me know what you're reading this week or leave me some links!
This post is being shared as part of Book Date's It's Monday! What Are You Reading? and Caffeinated Book Reviewer's The Sunday Post.
The return after the holidays is so hard. Wow! A full fledged teen in your home. May the teen years be easy on you.
ReplyDeleteOoh teenager- dom! Good luck haha! It's definitely interesting. :)
ReplyDeleteThe Twisted Ones looks pretty awesome. and ooh The Tenant does too. Have an awesome reading week!
Happy Birthday to your son! I hope you had an easy transition back to work this past week. I admit many of the reviews of Middlegame have put me off a bit from reading it sooner than later, but I do want to read it. I just love everything I have read by McGuire so far. I'm still fairly new to her work--which I count as a good thing because I have so many wonderful books of hers ahead of me to experience for the first time. I haven't tried her Wayward Children series yet, but I do want to. I hope you enjoy all of your new books! There are so many good ones coming out. Have a great week, Jennifer!
ReplyDeleteI'm super excited to start The Only Good Indians😁 Happy birthday to your son!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your son!
ReplyDeleteIt was my first week back too and it's always hard... Feel like I need a holiday to recover from the holidays!
Ah well, we'll settle back into the work routine again before long!
Hope your son had a wonderful birthday (mine is coming up this weekend so there must be a lot of January babies out there :) I got The Only Good Indians too and am really excited about it. I am also really wanting to read The Empress of Salt and Fortune but won't lie, it's strictly based on the cover.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy The Twisted ones! It was fun surprise. It thought it was going to dark and serious and it was creepy and funny instead. Also, I am thrilled that enjoyed Where the Crawdads Sing. I loved that book but my local book group were all "eh" after I chose it. I'm still sad about that.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking assortment of books. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteGreat to have lots of books you anticipate reading. Good to see you enjoyed When the Crawdads Sing. Has to be one of the biggest books of 2019.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 13 year old ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
Happy Birthday to your oldest! I'm glad to see you enjoyed Where the Crawdads Sing. I loved that one too.
