This week the topic is our spring tbr. These are books I hope to get to in the next couple of months but of course it might change!
1) George RR Martin-Fire and Blood
I'm hoping to read this monster sized book between now and the new series of Game of Thrones coming on TV so that leaves me a few weeks to get it done!
2) Nicholas Sansbury Smith-Hell Divers
I've been promising to read this one for well over a year and it is on my reading list for next month. If I like it, I'll have a few sequels to buy!
3) Michael Stephen Fuchs-Carnage
I have the last three books in this amazing zombie series to get caught up with so I'd like to get them all read. This is book #12 and I want to get to it soon.
4) MLN Hanover-The Black Sun's Daughter
This was an urban fantasy series that I started back in about 2010. I enjoyed the first book and plan to do a series catchup with it this spring.
5) Jaye Wells-Sabina Kane
I'm already halfway through this series catchup having read the first book back in 2011. I've read two books and a short story, leaving me with three books and another short story which I hope to tackle this month.
6) Jeff VanderMeer-Annihilation
I want to get the book read so I can watch the film. I have no idea what to expect as I keep seeing reviews that talk about both being weird. Guess I better get it out of the way!
7) Diane Haeger-The Queen's Mistake
I read my first book by this author which was about Mary Tudor, Henry's younger sister. I'm looking forward to reading this one about Catherine Howard.
8) Kate Emersen-The Pleasure Palace
I have five tudor books by the author but haven't read any yet. This one deals with the story of one of Henry's alleged mistresses Jane Popyncourt. Hope to read it this month.
9) Seth C Adams-If You Go Down To The Woods
I bought a lot of cheap thrillers in a sale last year at The Works and I plan to read this next month. A group of bored kids interfere with something they shouldn't and get stalked!
10) Michael J Sullivan-The Crown Tower
I picked this up in a charity shop last year. I don't read much fantasy but I thought it sounded interesting so I want to try and get it read soon.
I'm really interested to see your thoughts on Annihilation. The movie REALLY confused me. Hope you love these.
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit worried about the weird part of it!
DeleteGood luck with Fire and Blood... GoT is about 3/4 weeks away? I'd only manage to finish that if I read nothing else between then and now!
ReplyDeleteI'm neglecting my reading while I skim through the books again looking for clues! It takes me about a week to read each slab!
DeleteI hope you love all these! I wanted to catch up with the Song of Ice and Fire books before the show ended, but that’s not going to happen.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
Thankfully I'm caught up with the books except Fire and Blood which I need to get finished!
DeleteI always love making these lists but I'm not so good at my follow up! I'm really intrigued by The Pleasure Palace. I'd love to read more Tudor books.
ReplyDeleteMy plans may yet change! I need to fit in some mood reading around my challenges or I'll burn out by Easter!
DeleteI hope you enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteI'm just hoping I get to some of them!
DeleteLove the sound of If You Go Down To the Woods. (Always a bad idea, especially for a group of kids.)
ReplyDeleteYes I really like the sound of that one!
DeleteYes, I think I heard that a new Hell Divers book is coming out soon, so now's a good time for you to catch up (and for me as well!) I also love Michael J. Sullivan's Riyria series, I hope you enjoy Crown Tower :)

I've been promising myself a read of Hell Divers for about two years now! I'm not a big fantasy reader but I've heard good things about Michael J Sullivan.
DeleteI think if I picked up one of Martin's books, that would last me all spring. I hope you get to all of these, and that they meet or exceed your expectations.
ReplyDeleteIt took me a week to read the second book but only three days for part two of A Dance With Dragons. The changing POV helps move the story along quickly.
DeleteAnnihilation is weird in a good way. I enjoyed the book and the movie, but I haven't picked up the second in the series yet.
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit nervous about weird!
DeleteI have to read some of these as they sound like I would really like them.
ReplyDeleteMary
I hope to at least get a few looked at.
