New releases for November 12, 2019.
Read MoreOne battle. One battle can change the course of history. How would our world be different if the Ottoman Empire had taken Vienna in 1683 instead of losing? That is what Raymond Khoury explores in his latest alternate history novel.
Read MoreWant to know the absolute best part of this book? It’s number one in a series! THERE WILL BE MORE!
Read MoreOne of the most original books I’ve read this year, The Ten Thousand Doors of January is a magical adventure that will keep you captivated from the very first page. Or, if you’re like me, the absolutely gorgeous cover.
Read MoreIt was just the most beautiful reading experience to watch these two characters find each other and fall in love.
Read MoreI loved it. It has all the best elements of a space adventure you can ask for: a diverse crew, psychic cats, secrets kept to protect everyone, and lots of stuff blowing up.
There are a ton of twists and turns within the book and I don’t want to give any of it away, but please know that this book is dark. It’s incredibly written and I loved it, but there were many times I had to put it down, walk away for a while, and come back to it. But it’s definitely worth reading. It’s really good-just really dark.
If you love dystopian female empowerment stories, this is perfect for you.
Dark, gritty, and horrifying, The Monster of Elendhaven is an engrossing read that will cause you to sleep with the lights on. It rides the line of excess and somehow creates sympathy for a dark and murderous creature who longs to know what he is.
Read MoreThis book was so much fun! Not only is it fun, it combines a wide range of real life experiences allowing every kid who reads it to connect to it in some way.
Read MoreThat’s all you need to know. It’s incredible. It’s full of action, sword fighting, magic, spells, and hot necromancers. What more do you want?
Read MoreThis was once again, a bad year for our orchard. We were able to harvest 4 sad, little peaches and the cherry, plum, and plumcot trees gave up. They didn’t even bother to try. I think they know that deep down, they’re safe. I’m not cutting down a perfectly healthy tree. It can continue to forget growing fruit and it will still be allowed to grow.
Luckily, we have one little red delicious apple tree that decided to make up the slack from the other trees. I have been overloaded with apples the last two weeks and my days have been spent washing, peeling, dicing, measuring, stirring, hauling, and canning the absolute deliciousness that is apple pie filling.
The tomatoes have been nearly forgotten, and to be honest, it’s just easier to hand those off to the Hub’s coworkers. Just when I thought the apples had been conquered, my Hubs brought home pears.
Boxes of pears.
Fun fact: Pears can up beautifully as pie filling and make a great pie. Add in some cranberries and pecans and you’re all set.
Needless to say, I haven’t been able to read as much as I’d like the last two weeks and the books I did get to were duds.
But, my reading coming up is super exciting.
I’ve made it halfway through Gideon the Ninth and it’s amazing! So. Much. Fun!
City of Girls on audio is an experience. The narrator is a dream to listen to and I’m loving Vivian’s story.
The Kid found a signed copy of Pumpkinheads at our local indie and I couldn’t pass it up.
My favorite comic book store is moving locations and I took advantage of they’re killer deals to score the rest of Preacher.
I’ve received some advance copies that look really interesting. I’m really excited to read Beheld. Hopefully that’s next week. Very early next week.
Have a wonderful week everyone! I’ll be back with more books next week-if the apples don’t do me in first.

The story is very fast paced with interesting characters and incredibly detailed world building. If you’re looking for nightmares-definitely give this one a try.
Read MoreWe Toot! is one of the most delightful and adorable picture books I’ve read this year!
Read MoreOh Reader Friends, did you know that there was this wonderful little short story collection about an 88 year old serial killer?
Read MoreThis is equal parts fascinating and hilarious! An absolute must for any curious child.
