2. 13 Treasures by Michelle Harrison - I've been in a huge Middle Grade mood right now and this somewhat darker tale about a girl with second sight. There's dark spooky woods and a manor house with a rather intimidating sounding grandmother. I'm looking forward to this one!
3. Christmas on Candy Cane Lane by Sheila Roberts - I love the title on this book! This may win the award for best Christmas-y title. I've read one book by Sheila Roberts and really enjoyed it but have been wanting to read more. This may be the one I choose next.
4. The Turn of the Screw by Henry James - This is one of those books that's been on my radar forever but for some reason I've never even thought about actually reading it. I've been trying to read more classics and I think it's time I finally read this one.
6. Pressed to Death by Kirsten Weiss - I loved the first book in the series about a haunted museum so I'm really looking forward to this book!
7. Spelling it Like It Is by Tori Spelling - I have no idea why I want to read this - I'm not a big Tori Spelling fan, I've never watched her show - but I really really do! I
8. A Lowcountry Christmas by Mary Alice Monroe - Monroe is an author I've been wanting to read for ages but haven't managed it yet.
9. Stalking Ground by Margaret Mizushima - I love a good police procedural and this one about a K9 unit and there's a snowstorm! It sounds like a good mystery.
10. The Ghost Map: The Story of London's Most Terrifying Epidemic by Steven Johnson - This is a book about a cholera epidemic in London in the 1850s and while not the cheeriest subject I heard about it on a podcast and it sounds fascinating!
What have you added to your TBR lately?
There are some promising books here. I am not a fan of Tori Spelling as an actress either, but I am intrigued by her as a person. She is a survivor, and she is interesting as a mother. I have it on my TBR too.
ReplyDeleteI read Gods Behaving Badly way back when it first came out and it was really fun! Not something I needed to keep to reread, but something that I enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteI laughed when I saw the Tori Spelling book because I read her other two and they were actually not bad. I mean for a Tori Spelling book. Gods behaving Badly sounds pretty good. Great list!!
ReplyDeleteInteresting list! Funny everyone is talking Tori Spelling lately. Maybe because she's pregnant again, when her marriage was challenged by cheating in the past couple of years. Good for her for going from billionaire's daughter to mom of a brood and a difficult husband. Now I'm intrigued, on the human interest level.
ReplyDeleteI would enjoy reading more mythology fiction books in the future. I'm not so much into MG, but on an adult level I'll take any and all suggestions.
Thanks for sharing a fun list!
All of these are new to me titles - I'm especially intrigued by the last book you've shared... That one may go on my TBR!
ReplyDeleteI love how eclectic your list is! Mine was heavily weighted with mysteries, for some odd reason. I don't think I've been leaning toward them more than the other genres I read, but some ARC approvals came through, and I found out about forthcoming books from another source, all in the same month.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I've added Gods Behaving Badly to my Goodreads want-to-read list, on the strength of your recommendation here and the various reviews on GR. Plus I think I already have Christmas on Candy Cane Lane on my Kindle. (We probably picked it up in the same sale!) Have fun with all of these — I look forward to your reviews!
That title, Gods Behaving Badly. I love it. I read it, and thought, "oh so all the time, then." I'm glad you did like the first Percy Jackson book.
ReplyDeleteChristmas on Candy Cane Lane sounds awesome! I am so into the holiday reads this year!
ReplyDeleteOoh ooh 13 treasures! I haven't seen any other bloggers review those (probably before I was blogging) but I liked how dark it was. I hope you enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI weird as this sounds the The Ghost Map sounds so interesting, I have a thing for disasters like that from long ago, I always find the so interesting. You got a lot of pretty awesome ones. Two Christmassy ones I need to check out :)
ReplyDeleteGods Behaving Badly sounds fascinating as does The Ghost Map. Thanks for sharing these!
ReplyDeleteTurn Of the Screw! I have added a lot of Alice Hoffman to my tbr lately becayse of $1.99 ebook sales. I am happy I did because I am reading my ARC of Faithful right now and loving it. :)
ReplyDeleteI read A Lowcountry Christmas last week - loved it (my review will post next week).
ReplyDeleteI hope you get a chance to read all of these. I’ll have to check out the cholera book. That sounds like my kind of thing.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
What a diverse group of books! I haven't heard of a lot of these but The Ghost Map sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteHighly recommend Lowcountry Christmas! I am a Mary Alice Monroe fan now!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the idea of Gods Behaving Badly:). Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI also plan to read #4 one day. I'm actually also doing The Classics Club. Emma
ReplyDeleteyay! I'm looking forward to Pressed To Death too! My TTT
ReplyDeleteTori Spelling, I am sure she has has quite the life!! Enjoy your new reads!
ReplyDeleteGods Behaving Badly sounds like a blast. I loved The Ghost Map--the kind of nonfiction that makes me wonder why I don't read more of it!
ReplyDeleteGods Behaving Badly is good! I read it when it first came out, and it was
ReplyDeletethe first time I ever really made sense of the Greek Gods and who was who. Lots of fun!
Her second book, The Table of Less Valued Knights was possibly even funnier.
I'm adding Gods Behaving Badly to my tbr right now!!
ReplyDeleteLauren @ Always Me
I'm with you on Gods Behaving Badly! The James is a good place to start with his writing - not so long as some!
