Looking back at it now, it was a really solid reading year. I mean, it did its usual (for me) thing and meandered its merry way, here and there, up and down, and in fits and starts across the span of all twelve months. But it really did shape up nicely. Which is a good thing, because it was—shockingly, I know—another year in which we so desperately needed the authors and books and words of the world to come through for us. And they did, didn't they? I am, as ever, so grateful for them and their willingness to push through every barrier and battle that I know must try to keep them from putting their visions on paper. And so, as has long been my custom, I record here my list of published books that saw me through the year. Gifts, every one. (listed in the order in which I read them) The Atlas Complex by Olivie Blake Bride by Ali Hazelwood You Should Be So Lucky by Cat Sebastian Once Persuaded, Twice Shy by Melodie Edwards Lucky Bounce by Cait Nary Lips Like Sugar by Jes...
THIS IS SO EXCITING! But how are we supposed to wait until September?
ReplyDeleteI know. The eternal question . . .
DeleteA four part series, eh? I guess that makes us quadruple lucky :) Wonder what Miss Stiefvater thought of Beyonce's baby name...
ReplyDeleteKatie, exactly. :) And I hadn't thought of the name connection there. That's funny.
DeleteOoo. Interesting! Four part series? I'm checking out the links.
ReplyDeleteYup. It sounds just so very much fun, doesn't it?
DeleteI'm definitely getting the books. Want. And now you're blog has nested replies!!
DeleteLol. It does indeed. What do ya think?
DeleteDoes anyone know what it's about or if it's paranormal?
ReplyDeleteAllie, the link is to her announcement where she includes a summary. It is paranormal (or supernatural, at least) and includes a search for a Welsh king, bad boys, ancient curses, etc. So basically all the good stuff. ;)
DeleteBRING IT! That's how I felt when I saw her announcement too. I'm so glad she's getting to write the novels that she started when she was younger. Hope this one is just as good as The Scorpio Races.
ReplyDeleteI know. Those stories fascinate me about her as a young writer and how those ideas are being allowed to see the light of day now.
DeleteOh man, I'm a total Stiefvater whore as of late. I'm listening to Shiver on audio, and reading Scorpio Races on the side, and pretty much had heart palpitations when I saw this cover. Yay!
ReplyDeleteHehe. I know the feeling. I love glomming onto an author and just tearing through everything she wrote.
DeleteI just saw this one yesterday too!! Cannot wait.
ReplyDeleteSeriously. After THE SCORPIO RACES, how are we supposed to wait with anything resembling decorum?
DeleteI love not knowing much, too.
ReplyDeleteLets us savor the possibilities...
