Chasing
Tale is a regular look at the books I've added to my to-be-read pile.
Some are review copies , some I got my online or my local indie
bookstore, and others are finds from used-book shops.
What
is on your summer reading list?
It's
a question I suppose I'll have to think about. Since I am dedicating
the entire summer to short stories and novellas here on my blog, I
imagine my summer reads will be made up of a lot of anthologies,
collections, and magazines--more than usual at any rate. I do have
some novels I really want to read too, though. Plus, there is my
infinite list of review copies I need to weed through.
Maybe
I'll make up a summer reading list with a half-dozen books I've
already read and would recommend to others. Kind of like a
mid-year look back at what my favorite reads have been. I can already
think of a couple standouts, but I'll save all that for a later post.
In the mean time, here are some books I've added to my bookshelf this
past month.
Cry
Wolf (Alpha and Omega Book One) by
Patricia Briggs -
One of the names that continually pops up for me as a recommendation
on Amazon and Goodreads is Patricia Briggs. One weekend, while
browsing a used-book store I saw this book laying among a haphazard
pile of books. Since it looks to be the first in a series, I picked
it up.
My
Monster Burrufu by
Alberto Corral -
I won this children's book through a Goodreads giveaway. I love
monsters, what can I say. I think I'll give it to my niece. She turns
three this summer and while TV is wooing her, she still shows a big
love for books. Maybe she'll love monsters, too.
Dead
Harvest (The Collector Book One) by
Chris F. Holm -
I mentioned in a previous Chasing
Tale how
my local indie bookstore doesn't stock much of anything that appeals
to me, so imagine my surprise and delight when I spied this Angry
Robot title hiding out on a bottom shelf. Love that cover. I also
take it as a good sign there were three other Angry Robots titles
shelved in the store. A first to my recollection.
And there's the paperbacks added to the shelf in May. What pulpy plunder did you collect?
