Top Ten Just Added


This week's theme is: Ten Books You Recently Added To Your To-Be-Read List. These are my picks for the Tuesday Top Ten, as invented by The Broke and Bookish.

Amazon recc'd 1&2

The Black by Paul E Cooley.

 Chronology from Curiosity Quills Press...appears to be a book of scifi/fantasy short stories from an Indie-house, but I figure it's a good way to find a new favorite author.


3, 4, 5 are Upcoming Releases

 Library of Souls by Ransom Riggs.
 Himmelstrand by John Ajvide Lindqvist. Waiting for the English translation.

 The Map of Chaos by Felix J Palma. English translation.


6 & 7 recc'd by Friends

 The Lost City of Z by David Grann.

 Station Eleven by Emily St John


8, 9, & 10 Goodreads recc'd

 Ashfall by Mike Mullin
 Stray Souls by Kate Griffin.
 City of Stair by Robert Jackson Bennett

    Nice list! I really enjoyed STATION ELEVEN. It's different, but in a good way. ASHFALL is also a good one, although the series gets pretty gruesome as it goes on.

    Happy TTT!

The Sunday Post

  Happy Sunday! The Sunday Post is a weekly news meme created by Caffeinated Reviewer. I will be posting on the first Sunday of each month and I hope you'll join me. We're in drought. We live in an area that's never seen forest fires and yet we've seen forest fires. We got a couple of days of rain and it wasn't enough to consider the drought broken. Everybody has been advised not to run their wood stoves or fire pits... and naturally you can't actually advise anyone on anything anymore so people are doing whatever it is they want instead of worrying about burning the woods down (or their neighbor's house.) I feel like we're either going to get no snow at all this year or we're going to get hammered with it. The books I've read in November were both rereads. I reread The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern and A Darker Shade of Magic by VE Schwab. I don't plan to post the review of The Night Circus because it's already been posted.  But A...

The Sunday Post

  Happy Sunday and welcome to my Sunday Post. The Sunday Post is a blog news meme hosted by Caffeinated Reviewer . I will be posting on the first Sunday of every month and I hope you'll join me. My weather report for the month of September is 'delightfully sunny.' But there's been a chill in the evening air that wasn't there before, leaving an undeniable truth: Summer is over. My posts were few for the month. My cable provider wants us to update the boxes and our punishment for failure to comply is that our internet doesn't work as often as it should. The company is living life old-school with a, "You want it, come and get it." I'm just not desperate enough...yet. The reviews I did manage to get posted were: Fool Me Once by Harlan Coben The Kingdom of Copper by S.A. Chakraborty Black Woods, Blue Sky by Eowyn Ivey (available 2/11/2025) The Empire of Gold by S.A. Chakraborty My reviews for the month of October will include and ARC of  Elphie by Gre...
