Some are ARCs from Netgalley, some others are books I’ve accepted for review and the rest… novels I bought because I couldn’t avoid it, I was hooked by the first sentence /chapter (shouldn’t I know better…?)
Here they are, in no particular order:
Europe In Autumn, Dave Hutchinson
Nature Futures 2: Science Fiction from the Leading Science Journal (Anthology)
Red Rising, Pierce Brown
Terms of Enlistment, Marko Kloos
Dark Companions, Ramsey Campbell
Deja Vu, Ian Hocking
Seveneves, Neal Stephenson
Future Visions: Original Science Fiction Inspired by Microsoft (Anthology)
Sing Me Your Scars, Damien Angelica Walters
Portrait Of A Killer: Jack the Ripper – Case Closed, Patricia Cornwell
Watchers, Dean Koontz
Numero Zero, Umberto Eco
Oryx And Crake, Margaret Atwood
Ghost Story, Peter Straub
As usual, suggestions are more than welcome here: in case you’re interested in one or more, please drop me a text – email, twitter or by posting a comment here – and I’ll write a stand-alone review. Otherwise, apart from the ones that take my fancy, I’m just going to post a summary or leave them out completely. Thanks!
Cool, looking forward to your thoughts on Red Rising. Loved it!
I *loved* that book! Review coming soon. 🙂
I’m also intrigued to know what you’ll make of Red Rising – I haven’t read any Mark Kloos, and am unsure just how dark he is, so I’ll also be keen to read your take on Terms of Enlistment. Happy reading and have a great bank holiday week-end:)
Hello there, still have to finish Kloos, but I think you might like him – while dark, he has a dry humour that I really appreciate. Happy bank holiday to you – I look forward these three days to get some writing done 😀
I’m really lucky to have a week-long break, given that it’s half term and I’m determined to try and finish editing BREATHING SPACE! I’ll look out for Kloos – many thanks for the recommendation. Best of luck with the writing:)
Thanks, and happy editing 🙂
I loved “Portrait of a Killer” when I read it in 2002. Cornwell presents a strong case, but I doubt that case will ever be truly closed. I also enjoyed “Oryx and Crake.” It is the first novel in a trilogy. I plan to read the second novel this year. Happy reading! Cinda
Thanks Cinda, almost done with Cornwell, and it’s absolutely fascinating. A non-fiction that reads like one. Will let you know about the other. 🙂
