The Silence of Bones
By: June Hur
So for some reason I had it in my head the MC could talk to dead people or read there bones. Yeah don’t know where that came from. It’s not the case but it’s still a first rate mystery and great overall read.
Even without the talking to dead people part.
Black Sun
By: Rebecca Roanhorse
Black Sun is the first novel in a new fantasy series set in the pre-Columbia Americas. I had enjoyed the authors first work (Trail of Lightening) and never read anything in the setting before so was super excited to give this a go.
And the world does make for a truly different and intriguing read.
And Then There Were None
By: Agatha Christie
I read my very first Agatha Christie and me being me was actually surprised by how good it was!
Machine
By: Elizabeth Bear
After finishing this book I found myself a bit torn on the rating. I liked a lot of it. Liked the ideas but I also felt very cold overall and I think it comes down to the main character in the end.
First day of October does seem like a bang up time to do the <a href=”http://<iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/FnIXG6DqI1E” frameborder=”0″ allow=”accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture” allowfullscreen>Cozy Fall Book Tag. It was created by The Book Belle over on Youtube and is a nice mix of celebrating my favorite time of year (besides Christmas) and books!
Perfectly Preventable Deaths
By: Deirdre Sullivan
In my quest for some good old Halloween reading I picked up Perfectly Preventable Deaths- a story about two sisters who move to a small Irish village that has a dead girls in the woods mystery going back generations.
I did get scary although not the kind I would have thought.
I sometimes set myself seasonal TBR’s and Fall is always a good time to read certain books. Give me some good mysteries and thrillers on the days it gets dark earlier cause. Also give me some easier reads cause Fall is usually a busy time.
So I thought I’d share some of the books on my TBR a lot of them I’m considering now or never reads cause I’ve had them for a while…
The City We Became
By: N.K. Jemisin
New York is born in the form of 5 avatars to protect it and an other worldly villain appears in order to try and stop it…
And I try to sort out some mixed feelings in order to try to write a review about it.
Just a couple of days after I whined about only negotiations happening Harley Quinn is renewed for season 3!
Is it just me or does it feel like despite the movies moving there’s been really good news recently at least out of DC and Marvel? 🙂
The Odyssey
Homer/ Translated by: Emily Wilson
So I decided to reread this solely because of the translation- apparently the first in English by a woman. Also because I was in a serious Black Sails mood and had sea-faring pirate vibes going.
Having read a messy, broken hard to follow translation in college (or high school? I just remember being annoyed) I thought I’d give this a go. It’s a great translation but man I still hate Odysseus and his son!
