Top Ten Most Anticipated Releases For The Second Half Of The Year

I haven't been very good at keeping up with what's coming out when this year so this threw me into a bit of a spin. Having sifted through Goodreads I think these are my most anticipated titles for the rest of the year... I'm almost 100% certain that I will think of a dozen or more titles immediately after I hit publish!

Top Ten Tuesday #108 - Books I Really Love But I Haven't Talked About Enough...

Ten Books I Really Love But Feel Like I Haven't Talked About Enough...

There's a lot of books I love but don't talk about. I've got so many amazing books that I could review but I have this problem. The more I love something the harder I find it to write a review without just saying 'I loved it, you should buy it...' Here's some of my favorite books that I intend to reread and write a review of, sometime this year, maybe. I don't think there will be any surprises on this list if you're a regular reader!

Waiting On Wednesday #151 - Den Of Wolves

Waiting On Wednesday, where we put the spotlight on upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating, is hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine.

This week's choice is -

Den Of Wolves (Blackthorn & Grim #3) - Juliet Marillier 
ISBN - 9780451467034
Publisher - Roc
Release date - November 1 2016
Find - Goodreads | Book Depository

Do not read the synopsis if you haven't read the first two books in the series!







The “powerful and emotionally-charged” fantasy series from the author of the Sevenwaters novels continues, as Blackthorn and Grim face haunting secrets and old adversaries...

Feather bright and feather fine, None shall harm this child of mine...

Healer Blackthorn knows all too well the rules of her bond to the fey: seek no vengeance, help any who ask, do only good. But after the recent ordeal she and her companion, Grim, have suffered, she knows she cannot let go of her quest to bring justice to the man who ruined her life.

Despite her personal struggles, Blackthorn agrees to help the princess of Dalriada in taking care of a troubled young girl who has recently been brought to court, while Grim is sent to the girl’s home at Wolf Glen to aid her wealthy father with a strange task - repairing a broken-down house deep in the woods. It doesn’t take Grim long to realize that everything in Wolf Glen is not as it seems - the place is full of perilous secrets and deadly lies...

Back at Winterfalls, the evil touch of Blackthorn’s sworn enemy reopens old wounds and fuels her long-simmering passion for justice. With danger on two fronts, Blackthorn and Grim are faced with a heartbreaking choice - to stand once again by each other's side or to fight their battles alone...

Not much to say except it's Juliet Marillier, it's book three in a great series and yet again the cover artwork is stunning!

Top Ten Nine 2015 Releases I Meant To Get To But Didn't

Oh dear. Where do I start with this list? There are so many titles that could be on my list and I feel guilty about every single one of them. Although I did start reading several of these I just never got round to finishing them...

Top Ten Tuesday #97 - Auto-Buy Authors

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the wonderful gals cover at The Broke & The Bookish. This week's topic is -

Top Ten Of Your Auto-Buy Authors

I managed to stick to ten authors this week as my list turned out to be quite selective, I'm absolutely certain that there are no surprises for any regular Bookish visitors. I'm sure my list of auto-buy authors used to be huge, if I saw they had a book coming out I ordered it. I have obviously learnt how to restrain myself though!

What authors are on your list?

Top Ten Tuesday #96 - Authors I've Read The Most Books From

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the wonderful gals cover at The Broke & The Bookish. This week's topic is -

Top Ten Thirteen Authors I've Read The Most Books From

This could be a strange list as, if I follow the list on Goodreads, it will have authors on that I haven't read for years but because they are so prolific I've read dozens of books by them! However if I skip a few of them there are far more recent authors ie. from the last decade...

Read 40 or more books

Stephen King 

I started reading King's books when I was ten so I'm actually surprised this isn't higher!

Terry Pratchett 

Another author I started reading early and it's high because of the wonderful Discworld books.

Read 30 or more

 

J D Robb 

There's a theme coming. Finding a series and binge reading all of the available books. As is the case with the In Death books!

Read 20 or more

Laurell K Hamilton 

Yes, I read the Anita Blake books. And then I started the Merry Gentry books...

Read 10 or more

Charlaine Harris

 Thanks to Sookie, Lily Bard and Aurora Teagarden!

Raymond E Feist

I read Faerie Tale before I plunged into the Riftwar Saga (and the rest...)

Rachel Caine

Morganville Vampires, need I say more?

Jim Butcher

The Dresden Files, Codex Alera and coming to a bookcase near you soon, the Cinder Spires!

Diana Wynne Jones

Howl, the Chrestomanci series, so many great books...

Neil Gaiman

Because I have read all the books...

Juliet Marillier

Once you've read one Juliet Marillier book you have to read them all!

Charles de Lint

Love, love, love his writing! One day I'll get round to reading everything he's published instead of about half.

Sara Douglass

If you haven't read anything by Sara Douglass then you should, especially if you love epic fantasy. Sadly, she passed away 4 years ago so no more new books.

Top Ten Tuesday #95 - Fairy Tales & Retellings I Have Read

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the wonderful gals cover at The Broke & The Bookish. This week's topic is -

Top Ten Twenty-ish Fairy Tales And Retellings

Once upon a time there was a book nerd called Fi who was slightly crazy obsessed with fairy tales. When the topic came up as a Top Ten Tuesday idea it was obvious to all in the kingdom that she would never be able to post a list of ten(!). And so the epic list of fairy tales was born with twenty-something titles, from Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, The Goose Girl, Bluebeard through to Hansel & Gretel, Tam Lin, The Brave Little Tailor and many more. After reading the list everyone lived happily ever after!

Daughter of the Forest | Heart's Blood | Wildwood Dancing

Poison | Beauty | Charm

A Curse Dark As Gold | Thorn | Uprooted

The Fairest of Them All | Ophelia & The Marvelous Boy | The Real Boy

Egg & Spoon | Jack of Kinrowan | Jasmyn

Bitter Greens | The Bloody Chamber | Enchanted

Fire & Hemlock | Sweetly | Valiant

Carabas | Deerskin | A Long Long Sleep
