I'll be straight with you right up front. I went a little nuts during the month of January. But, but... I had all those gift cards from Christmas and my birthday and my anniversary! Yes, I did spend gift cards on other things besides books for my Kindle, but I did splurge on several titles that were sitting on my wishlist, crying out for me to buy them.
Here's a rundown of what's new on my Kindle, listed by genre/subgenre. Click on any of the titles if you'd like to know more about the book.
So many books look good (sigh). More books to add to the TBR volumes. I have Scrublands and the Tursten stories on libray hold.
Is Salt Lane the follow-up to The Birdwatcher? Inquiring minds want to know.
So many good ones here to look up and/or wait for reviews here.
Yes, Salt Lane is the follow-up to The Birdwatcher.
I see Salt Lane does follow The Birdwatcher. That and The Widows catch my attention.
I'm looking forward to reading The Widows. What am I saying? I'm looking forward to reading all of them, but with a little added extra anticipation for Montgomery's book.
I was lured to the Braithwaite due to another favorite movie.
I want Carrion Comfort because I love Gerard Manley Hopkins and his poem. I liked Salt Lane, Wildfire, and Scrublands, and now so many more to add to the list.
I'm looking forward to Carrion Comfort because I enjoyed the first book in the series, and also because I love Templeton's idea for the series (a special crime unit traveling to all the little burgs in Scotland-- I LOVE Scotland).
Oh, Templeton's books go to little burgs in Scotland. I love that, too.
Val McDermid's Karen Pirie books are set in Fife, the last one on the Firth of Forth. Beautiful descriptions sent me googling the gorgeous region. And in that book Pirie also travels to the highlands, with mention of lots of towns.
I need to get caught up with Karen Pirie.
A Darker Domain, with Karen Pirie, has a lot of beautiful sites. The characters go to Wyemss, on the Firth of Forth. It is the site of ancient caves, inhabited for 5,000 years. I took a virtual tour of the caves there and saw etchings on the wall. So, mystery fiction can send us to learn more.
Well, I'm about to finish the domestic noir I got hooked on and start The Paragon Hotel. Then I got a library email that Salt Lane and The Widows are waiting for me.
A dilemma! But the kind of dilemma readers everywhere love, especially in February.
