Love seeing all the great #ewgc suggestions. More titles for my ever teetering TBR pile(s) ... 😂 See yah'll next month ... or at PLA is you're attending.
Currently reading DRAGON RIDER by Taran Matharu (Harper Voyager, April 2024); Book 1 of the 'Soulbound Saga' A fast-paced, magic & dragon filled fantasy with a royal hostage caught up in imperial conspiracy who must flee for his life, having witnessed the treachery #ewgc
Also intrigued by GHOST STATION by S.A. Barnes (@TorNightfire in April) - space horror where "a crew must try to survive on an ancient, abandoned planet." Inside cover tease: "The past will haunt you ... to death" #ewgc
Read MAL GOES TO WAR by Edward Ashton (of MICKEY 7 fame); coming from @StMartinsPress in April) - a Free AI gets stranded in damaged android body & pulled into a nasty war between rival human groups. "... a satirical take on war, AI, & what it really means to be human." #ewgc
THE UNFORGETABLE LORETTA DARLING by Katherine Blake (6/24 via @HarperCollins): "Aspiring makeup artist takes on predatory Hollywood in this addictive debut novel with bite—a sultry, thrilling blend of The 7 Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Killing Eve, & A Promising Young Woman." #ewgc
my teetering ARC TBR stack (Thank You publishers!): JUMPNAUTS by Hao Jingfang (March from @SagaPressBooks); coming in April: THE CEMETARY OF UNTOLD STORIES by Julie Alvarez (from @AlgonquinBooks) & A SHORT WALK THROUGH A WIDE WORLD by Douglas Westerbeke (@AlgonquinBooks) #ewgc
Anyone else looking forward to Jay Kristoff's EMPIRE OF THE DAMNED ('Empire of the Vampire' Bk 2) due out March 2024 from @StMartinsPress? Thanks to Steve @ St Martin's for sending me an ARC; much appreciated! #ewgc
Signing off a bit (2 minutes 😉) early. Loved all the suggestions & looking forward to the December GalleyChat! 🦃HAPPY TURKEY DAY everyone! 🦃 #ewgc
Loved THE PALE HOUSE DEVIL by Richard Kadrey (@TitanBooks in Oct) A short, snappy tale about a cool pair of supernatural assassins-for-hire. 1 is alive, the other dead: 1 kills the dead, the other takes care of the living! More Ford & Neuland tales, please, Mr. Kadrey! #ewgc
Lots of good #readadv hacks in todays episode of @NPRLifeKit from host of @thestackspod_ I’ll be incorporating some of it in future trainings of RAs! play.stitcher.com/episode/305420…
Loved all of today's title mentions, folks. As always, my TBR stack(s) runneth over ... again! 😀 Until our next get together in August - yah'll stay cool & keep on reading & recommending! 😄 #ewgc
Just finished THE LONGEST AUTUMN by Amy Avery (coming from Flatiron Bks, Jan '24) - a mythological, fantasy debut centered around Tirne, devout herald to Autumn. She's accused of breaking the mirror separating the worlds thus trapping her god in the human realm. #ewgc
