Books for Review



https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9578103-cephrael-s-hand?ac=1

This looks like a totally fascinating
fantasy read!  I was lucky enough
to interview McPhail for a
blog tour nearly two years ago,
and really enjoyed it!
You can find the interview HERE.





Books Purchased

I've been wanting to get this one into 
my collection for the longest
time now, because the reviews are
overwhelmingly positive!
Plus, I LOVE that cover!!







https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14061957-ruin-and-rising?ac=1

Having read and greatly enjoyed
the first book in this series,
Shadow and Bone, I am eager to 
continue with the second,
and then this one, which is the third!!





https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7975387-the-cowboy-and-the-vampire

This is supposed to be a very funny 
vamp romance, so I'm really looking forward
to reading it!  I recently interviewed
the authors too, when they released the
third book in the series.
You can access the interview HERE.
(My copy has the old cover, so
I got it pretty cheap.  I prefer this one, though.)







https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/616475.Black_Trillium


Here's a unique book indeed!  Three
great fantasy writers have collaborated on
one novel!  This should be 
absolutely fascinating reading, and
I can't wait to dig in!!





https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6011658-merlin-s-mirror

I've always been fascinated by the tales of
King Arthur and Merlin!  This 
is a modern take on those timeless legends,
from F & SF great Andre Norton!

Mary Balogh is, for me, the Queen of
Regency Romance!!   I read and
reviewed the second book in  this series,
which I greatly enjoyed!
I love everything she writes!

The Arrangement, just click HERE.

  3. Great haul! I love the variety. I read and enjoyed both Alienated and Ruin and Rising. It has been a while since I read anything by Mary Balogh but enjoy her work. Come see what I got at Inside of a Dog and Ms. Martin Teaches Media. Happy reading!

      Glad you like my haul! Yes, I'm a very eclectic reader. I've been wanting to read "Alienated" and "Ruin and Rising" for a while now (well, I do have to read "Siege and Shadow" first, lol). As for Mary Balogh, she's my favorite Regency writer!
