Nice easy one this week. These books are on my reading list for autumn!
1) Alex MacCormick-Shark Attacks
I've always been fascinated by sharks since I first watched Jaws and I always watch When Sharks Attack on TV. I found this book which tells the story of hundreds of real shark attacks around the world. I'll be reading this one over a period of weeks in amongst a few fiction books just to dilute the horror a bit...
2) Kelly Meding-Dreg City
This is one of three full series that I want to get read before the year ends along with MLN Hanover and DD Barant. These books have been on my shelves forever and it'll be nice to get these three urban fantasy series done and dusted!
3) John Skipp-Fright Night
I love the original film ('you have to have faith!') and was pleased to get an ebook copy of this. I might have read it years back but if I did I don't remember, and that is a good excuse to set it by for October and Spooky Booky month!
4) Nicholas Sansbury Smith-Hell Divers
I keep selecting it and then putting it off for some reason but I need to read it by the end of the year. Last year there was a big SF challenge in November so I'll save this for then and maybe get a chance to join in if it is on again.
5) Mae Clair-A Thousand Yesteryears
The Mothman fascinates me and I was attracted to this book. It opens with the Silver Bridge collapse which had me gripped when I read the sample, and I rushed out to buy this in paperback. I haven't tried the author before but I look forward to it.
6) Michael Stephen Fuchs-Arisen
The best zombie series EVER! I've read the first 11 books and two prequels so I still have a companion novel and the final three books to read. I've put them off coz I don't want the series to be finished!!! There are rumours of more companion or prequels which is exciting!
7) Kevin Hearne-Scourged
It's the final book of the series and I keep putting it off as I'm afraid for the final battle and worried about Oberon! I do need to get it read before the year finishes.
8) Brian McClellan-Promise of Blood
I've very much enjoyed the short stories set in the Powder Mage world so now it is time to delve into the first book in the series and see if I enjoy it as much. I already know a few of the characters which should help me!
9) Nicholas Sansbury Smith & Friends-Extinction Cycle
I have the prequel to read and then he published fan fiction stories set in the Extinction world, which was something different, and now he has started a new Extinction series set about a decade later! I'm so excited I can't even!!!
10) Eli Constant-Dead Trees 2
I loved the first book and was all ready for the second when it came out but a family issue put me off reading it at the time. Somehow I never got round to it but I want to get it read this autumn, hopefully for Spooky Booky Month!
I hope you enjoy Hell Divers. I haven't read it myself, but Daniela at Bookiverse is an enthusiastic fan!
ReplyDeleteI've had it on my shelves for a while and it is way beyond time for me to get it read!
DeleteI think there's going to be another sci-fi challenge in November. I recall Tammy mentioning it to me. There are too many good books coming out I want to read and look at you - adding to my list!
ReplyDeleteI'm certainly hoping for that SF challenge in November. I was all excited to take part last year when that reading slump got me! I have 11 books set aside at the moment that I'd like to get to.
DeleteI hope you enjoy them all! I’m also hoping to read a few spooky books next month.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
I have a ton of killers, monsters and creatures waiting for my attention next month! I'm really fired up for it!
DeleteI haven't read any of these yet but I do have all of the books that I haven't read yet in Kevin Hearne's series on my tbr list. I could also see myself reading more from Kelly Meding. I hope you enjoy all of the books on your reading list.
ReplyDeleteI've been saving Scourged for a while...I hate reading the last book in a series in case it is a let down! I also don't want the series to be over as I love Oberon so much!
DeleteI need to read Hell Divers too. I have it on my Kindle but either forget or I'm not in the right mood at the time.
ReplyDeleteKaren @ For What It's Worth
It's been on my shelves too long-I really need to get it dealt with in November!
DeleteThe first book of Hearne's series is on my fall TBR list. :)
ReplyDeleteOoh I really hope you enjoy it!
DeleteI need to get back to Kelly Meding! I thought Three Days to Dead was a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteSame here! I loved the first book but haven't read the rest. I certainly hope to make progress on that before the year ends!
DeleteNice list. I hope there are some good ones in here for ya. That shark book sounds great.
ReplyDeleteI'll be working my way through that next month! With so many shark attack encounters in it, I might need to read it in amongst some fiction!
DeleteI've heard such great things about Nicholas Sansbury Smith's books... Helldivers especially interests me, I think I have the first book!
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
I loved his Extinction Cycle books! I'm very excited that he has started a follow up series to that AND he published some fan fiction he liked from the Extinction World! I'll be reading Trackers and Hell Divers for SF month in November!
Deleteyou share some great books and i do end up adding some of them to my mountain. great job :-)
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental
I'm a monster, I admit it! If I'm going to be buried in books, I'm taking you all with me!
DeleteI don't think I know any of these except the Kevin Hearne one... Is that the Iron Druid series? If so, I'm curious about that one! I need to read it at some point.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll manage this list easy. You're a good one at making lists and actually sticking to them! I wish I was!
Scourged is the final book in the Iron Druid series and I've kept putting it off! I don't want it to end!!!
DeleteI like planning the reading lists-making myself stick to it can be a lot harder!
I'm crossing my fingers you enjoy Hell Divers as much as I did!
ReplyDeleteIt is a bit out of my comfort zone but I do like the author's Extinction series so I'm keeping everything crossed!
