On my shelf – forthcoming reviews on EHM

Steph P. Bianchini

/

I’ve been quite sluggish recently in uploading reviews (other writing came in the way) so now there are a few books in my waiting list, even though the good news is that I’ve read almost all of them.
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:

images                                          City Infernal, Edward Lee

                                     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!

    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:)

    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. 🙂
