It's just not fair when books you've been dying to read come out during the month of November, when I'm supposed to not be reading anything but my NaNoWriMo manuscript (and I shouldn't even be reading that, I should just be adding new words to it!)
There are four books, three that just released, that I'm drooling to read! (can I resist the compulsion for the entire month of November? Especially when one of the books is titled Compulsion? ha! Stay tuned.)
A Thousand Pieces of You chasing an enemy across parallel universes and then falling in love with him? (if I interepreted that blurb correctly: I can't resist falling-in-love-with-misunderstood-enemy stores)
Compulsion here's the line from the blurb that made me sit up and take notice: "South Carolina plantation....a prison guarded by an ancient spirit who long ago cursed one of the three founding families of Watson Island and gave the others magical gifts that became compulsions"
Mortal Heart Fantastic series, assassin nuns, historical fantasy... and one of my favorite book reviewers (Shae at Shae Has Left the Room) says this one just couldn't get any better.
The Map to Everywhere Need I say more? A book with a map central to the premise? This map geek can't resist.

Illusions of Fate released in September, and it just now came on my radar... how did I miss this? Look at the COVER!!! That teacup!!!!! And the blurb! Laini Taylor says its like "Howl meets Mr. Darcy" - now if that isn't a intriguing mash-up, I don't know what is.

It isn't fair; you're right. I can't wait to read Martina's book! Been looking forward to it for a long time.
ReplyDeleteI'm so far behind on my books! But fortunately I had ARCs of Compulsion and Mortal Heart so I already got those read. My e-galley of the first book you listed expired though, so now I have to wait! While I'm stressed about my reading, I'm at least feeling on top of my writing so far.
ReplyDeleteHow funny that we both have compulsion as a blog topic! I'd say get your family to get you the books as a reward for completing NaNo. :-)
ReplyDeleteI seriously love your blog.. Very nice colors & theme. Did you develop this website yourself? Please reply back as I'm trying to create my own site and want to know where you got this from or exactly what the theme is called. Cheers!

Wow, is your December ever going to be delightful! Talk about keeping your eyes on the prize. Thanks for the reading list--even though I'm going to have to wait until NaNoWriMo wraps up too.
ReplyDelete*blushes for days*
ReplyDeleteAnd also, use MH as your reward for when you finish! Brooding boy and awesome girl! Tada!
Ugh I just left a comment but it got eaten by the internet :( Basically I said, at least in December you'll have all these gorgeous books to read AND have finished NaNoWriMo!
ReplyDeleteAt least you're still buying books. I'm trying to cut down until the to-read piles are reduced to manageable size. [Think a lot of them will get thrown on the to-trade piles.]
ReplyDeleteOh... Forgot ... Good luck with the NaNo progress.
