It‘s here! Today‘s #bookmail is making me very excited. BRB, gotta adjust my reading plans for October.
#BookMail is the best mail!
I'm really excited about the Emily Wilson translation of The Iliad, but I might end up reading it on ebook because it weighs a ton!
And, of course, the new Percy Jackson. 🥰
I'm cautiously optimistic about the Ava Reid. I loved her first book but hated the second one. This one sounds amazing, though, so I'll give it a try.
Bk8 from my recent #BookMail is this special edition of Circe. Matches the edition of The Song of Achilles I bought last year( that was blue). I think I‘m gonna have to start culling my shelves and only keep the pretty books, special editions & ones that have a lot of meaning to me. Otherwise the Hubbys gonna move out so he has some room! Books or Husband🤔 #CrazyBookLady #ChoicesChoices
Bk7 from my recent #BookMail is a signed edition of the 3rd Two Rivers thriller from Cleeves. Bummed that she‘s stopped writing Shetland books but this series is growing on me. Jem Rosco, sailor & adventuror blows into town during an autumn gale & the people in Greystone Devon are thrilled to host a celebrity. But when his body is found in a dinghy off Scully Cove, Inspector Mathew Venn has to contend with a community he left to solve the case.
Today's #bookmail had the FairyLoot and Owlcrate September Adult Fantasy boxes. Very different books. Sun of Blood and Ruin is gorgeous, though it's not getting the best reviews. And After the Forest will be a perfect October read. Though this is the 2nd month the Owlcrate book has had a solid color sprayed edge. Hoping for some more creativity next month.
Bk6 of my recent #BookMail is the Special Signed Edition of The 1st book in The Bone Season series. It‘s 2059 & 19yr old Paige Mahoney is working in the criminal underworld of Scion London, based at Seven Dials. Her job: scout for information by breaking into people‘s minds. Paige is a Dreamwalker & Clairvoyant & in the world of Scion, she breaks the law by simply breathing. Attacked, drugged & kidnapped, she‘s taken to Oxford, a city kept secret.
Bk5 from my recent #BookMail is this absolutely gorgeous edition of the 1st Geomancer novel. In the lakes, the wolf queen sharpens her spears. In the mountains, an ancient girl opens an eye. In the forest, an orphan is summoned by the trees. Ysolda has lived her life in the shadow of the wolf queens tyrannical rule, but safe in her forest haven, she has never truly felt it‘s threat. Until an earthquake shakes the land & her sister vanishes.
Bk4 of my recent #BookMail is the new signed edition of her 1st shortstory collection in awhile. Plus I love the cover! The foiled dog & fox screams autumn vibes & is another perfect #Scarathlon2023 book. In this there‘s a Queen who makes a bargain she can‘t keep, a secretary that watches over the life she just left, & a man whose life changes when a horse talks to him. A little bit creepy & a little bit funny & a whole lot brilliant.
Bk3 of my recent #BookMail is this new anthology of stories set in the realms of education. 12 sinister tales of gothic revenge & retibution, by authors such as Olivie Blake, M.L.Rio(a master at dark academia)& more. Retribution visits a Casanova lecturer, truth revealed about a missing professor, a jilted lover uses a seance for revenge, horrors are uncovered in an obscure academic department and more. Perfect for #Scarathlon2023
