Christmas Books
Best to return from the festive break with a little bit of book bragging I think.
‘Fingersmith’ – Sarah Waters: My third Waters novel and I know certain Waters fans are looking forward to seeing me read this one.
‘The Kingdom of Gods’ – N K Jemisin: The final volume of Jemisin’s exciting ‘Inheritance’ trilogy. I get to spend a whole book with Seih, the weird and wonderful child god, this time and I am just a little bit excited. I can’t thank Meghan enough for getting me into these books.
‘Sense and Sensibility’ – Jane Austen: I shall feel so sophisticated when pulling my new Penguin Clothbound edition of this classic out of my bag, um, when I get around to reading it. I really have got to read a new Austen this year as I’ve now got ‘S&S’ and ‘Emma’ lying about unread.
‘Wading Home’ – Rosalyn Story: This is a lesser know title, about a man’s search for his father, in New Orleans, after Hurricane Katrina ripped through the city. It was enthusiastically praised at Read Red for its descriptions of nature.
‘The Invisible Ones’ - Stef Penney: Finally, a second novel from Stef Penny! I enjoyed ‘The Tenderness of Wolves’ so much and hope very much for an equally humane and complex thriller.
I hope you all got lovely presents (I know lots of you did, because I’ve been checking out your posts). And nowmyfriendamy gets an extra one, as she’s the winner of my blogiversary giveaway. E-mail me your posting address (my e-mail is in my profile) and I’ll send a copy of 'The Map of My Dead Pilots' out in February.
If you want to see me chatting a little bit about ‘Strong Poison’ by Dorothy L Sayers as a gift to Nymeth in her birthday month, then you can drop by Lady Business. Otherwise I’ll see you here at Bookgazing next week with my attempt to quickly clear out many of those review hangovers from last year.
