All right, I skipped Sunday again! Two consecutive days of 30+ Celsius cooked my brain but mostly, I’m still out of my blogging routine. Ah well, I’m still owing one and I will be keeping tabs.
Hmmm…. I did say this won’t be an actual series but well, I’m not really in blogging mood today and besides Moonlake’s Book Discoveries is overdue but I’m not ready to write another long read so this will have to do. Read this as a preview of January’s Book Discoveries, to be released on 3 January (in Australia).
Firstly, let’s go through the list of reviewed work/books I had read in the interim of the last Book Discovery post and the forthcoming one:
Standalone novels and series
- Shadows Trilogy by Jon Sprunk
- A Dead man’s Ransom by Ellis Peters
- Hope to Die by James Patterson
- Days of the Deer by Lilliana Bodoc
- Shadows and Stronghold by Elizabeth Chadwick
Short story collections
- A Dreadful Murder & other criminally compulsive tales by Minette Walters
- Harvest Moon by Mercedes Lackey, Michelle Sagara and Cameron Haley
- Tortall and other lands: a collection of tales by Tamora Pierce
Gaming/plot-your-own books
- Destiny quest: The Legion of Shadow by Micahel Ward
- A Million Little Mistakes by Heather McElhatton
- Being Elizabeth Benett: create your own Jane Austen Adventure by Emma Campbell Webster
- Cavern of the Snow Witch by Ian Livingstone
Next up on my reading list are:
- Mistborn trilogy by Brandon Sanderson (yay, my local library finally stocks the whole series!)
- More Elizabeth Chadwick books
- Robin Hobb’s Farseer trilogy and possibly other series if I like her style
- Jim Butcher’s Codex Alera pimped by my good friend except they are only available only as audiobooks which is a problem for me as I like to read, not listen to books
