In Cold Blood by Truman Capote
I first learnt about this book through the UBC online novel writing courses and I was rather curious about it but the curiosity was not that acute that I searched for it straight away. In fact, it was only because I saw it in my library’s online catalogue that I decided to put it down for my Curiousity Read for this year.
I ordered this book from my library and I’m currently in the top spot for it but I’m still waiting on it.
The Banned and the Banished by James Clemen
I did not think this series was great in terms of prose or any other aspect as I’ve previously blogged but it was third person limited with a reasonably sized party of protagonists that I thought I could learn something from.
I had barely started running over this series from the start alongside my other fiction reading. One thing I’m struck with straight away is the high stakes at the start that has been driving the book. Not necessarily something I can replicate but a good illustration of stakes at work in a novel.
