Each month I share books I've come across that I MUST read so they get added to my TBR list. Here are the books I added this month: The Invisible Library #1 by Genevieve Cogman Genre: Fantasy Published 2014, 320 pages Added because: recommended by Anne at #ModernMrsDarcy Synopsis: this Library is a mysterious one that collects books from many realities and their book spy is assigned to an alternate London to retrieve a dangerous Grimm book - adventure and troubles ensue A D

The Black Coast #1 by Mike Brooks Genre: Fantasy Published March 2021, 643 pages I admit, I started this book, got about 40-50 pages in and set it aside. It wasn't capturing me at the time and it might be because I had a couple other books going and this one needed my attention from the start. I tried again a few weeks later, devoted all my attention to it and found I was thoroughly engrossed! Proof that sometimes a good book maybe isn't a good book at the moment, but worth r

Royal Assassin #2 Farseer by Robin Hobb Genre: Fantasy Published 1996, 675 pages My youngest son loaned me this series - it's one of his favorites and he's an avid fantasy reader, so I trusted his recommendation. I'm sure glad I did - this series is excellent. And this middle book is my favorite of the trilogy. ”For a moment I shared his bafflement that anyone could wish harm on these people, and shared, too, his fierce determination that not one more life should be lost to t

Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia Genre: Horror Awards: Nebula nominee Published June 2020, 301 pages I'm a little late to the party, but once I started this book, I found I couldn't put it down. I really enjoyed this tale of a family and the house that gives them a warped, evil power. Sharing the feeling of Rebecca (and apparently Wuthering Heights though I haven't read that one), it's the story of a house with powerful currents and the family that lives in it - and the

A History of Loneliness by John Boyne Genre: General Fiction Published 2014, 384 pages A little slow getting this one posted - ah well. This book was discovered by Donna and is another departure from what we both usually read. That's kind of the point, right? The title didn't appeal to me at all, sounds like a bit of a downer, but it is highly rated on GR so we thought we'd give it a try. PLOT OF OUR BUDDY READ This starts off as a story of the quiet life of a quiet man who,

The House in the Cerulean Sea, TJ Klune Genre: Fantasy – Young Adult Published 2020, 394 pages GUEST REVIEWER I LOVE this book! Never before have I read a 400-page book in a single day but I couldn’t put this down. From the first page to the last page, this book made me feel good, it made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me love every character (well, not some of the closed-minded people in the village). Filled with magical children, this story is about embracing others diff

Every month I share the books that have caught my attention enough to be added to my TBR list. I find books in a variety of ways (probably like most of you). I hear about them on one of the book podcasts I listen to, from a Goodreads buddy, from a Facebook group list, from a friend, #BookRiot, #BookBub, or another book blogger. The sources are never ending - as is my list! Here are the dozen books that made the cut this month: Winter Counts by David Heska Wanbli Weiden Genre:
