Were has this week gone
already?? Welcome to December! This week saw a fluttering of snow
in our county, so one of our boys was wishing for snow days for this
week...it's cold enough I think, but as yet we've not had anymore snow.
I'm sure there's more to come, so there’s no better time to hibernate under a
cozy duvet and read :)
Here’s what landed IMM
this week, along with some library books (links go to Goodreads)
The colour combinations on
the cover on this are brilliant – I’ve also picked up the first in this series
from the library, so I’ll be reading Dead Time before reading this.
The Dressmaker by KateAlcott from Sphere, publishes March 2013
This one peeked my
interest with the synopsis
Among Others by Jo Walton
from Corsair, published HB Nov 2012, paperback March 2013
Again, the book synopsis
on this sounds intriguing.
Not Just the Blues -Cordelia Codd by Claire O’Brien from Orchard, published June 2012
This was a pot luck request
from the publisher for a review to be done on a mystery book before
Christmas. I don’t normally read girly pre-teen
type books (at least not often) but I’m game, it looks like a funny read. Sometimes I wish we had a girl reviewer here
so they could enjoy reads such as these :)
From the library
I’ve been over zealous
with reserving books at the library…love my library at the moment, seems they’ve
got a good portion of the books I was looking for!
Girl in the Steel Corset by
Kady Cross
Love the steampunkish feel
to th cover on this; a good reflections of the book which I’ve read about half
of already
World Shaker by Richard Harland
This one came as a
recommended read from fellow steampunk enthusiasts…now I’ve got it I’m not sure
about the cover…so this may be one I’ll come back to once my reading pile is
smaller!
Deathscent by Robin Jarvis
Another one which came
recommended. Hmmm….can’t say the cover
does it for me…but a cover isn’t everything!
I absolutely adore this
series of books. I love the lead
character, Allie Beckstrom and her sense of humour. Can’t wait to catch up!
Wintercraft Legacy by
Jenna Burtenshaw
I really enjoyed the
previous books in this series & don’t know how I managed to miss this one
being released. Looking forward to
reading this instalment…I saw on Amazon that the next one is being released in
2013 so looking forward to that as well.
Slated by Teri Terry
This is actually one I’d
seen online and wasn’t lucky enough to get selected on Netgalley for. Whilst updating my wish list of books I
realised this was already out in the UK, so this will probably be my next read after Not
Just the Blues.
Over the next couple of
weeks I’ve got several things going on – I’m taking part in a couple of blog
tours, along with an author web chat and my post for another Giveaway Hop will
be live soon, so please keep an eye out.
