This week is a freebie topic and since the I'm looking for the US to shut down again soon and I figure I'll only be able to access my library through Overdrive or if I'm lucky, curbside pick-up again, I'll share what books I have on hold. It was a fun topic last time and let's face it, it's easy and I'm all for easy right now.
This one kind of scares me since I didn't care for The Cabin at the End of World. But hey I'll give it a shot.
I didn't read this author's first book but I know lots of people loved it so I'm anxious to try this one.
Dragons - yes please. I need some dragons in my life right now.
Seeing book 2 is coming out reminded me I wanted to read book 1. Also, I know Stormi really enjoyed this one.
Not sure why I requested this one. Has anyone read it?
I've been reading more Romance/Women's Fiction lately and I adore this author so I really want to pick this one up.
I've heard good things and this one is kind of giving me IT vibes and I could use some fictional horror to get my mind of the real-life horror.
I'm up for any retelling of Little Women.
Horror...enough said.
I thought this was MG horror, but I see now it's YA horror. Oh well, it's horror.
So there you have it. Can you recommend any of these?
I love the variety of your holds! So many I want to read - Jo & Laurie, He Started It, Paris Is Always a Good Idea!
ReplyDeleteI love variety when reading. I have favorite genres but I do best when I mix it up!
DeleteI just finished The Shadows! Quite a good story, not nearly as scary as I had hoped, but I think I'm definitely impressed enough to go back and read that authors debut. Hope you enjoy your upcoming reads!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read the first one either Bonnie so The Shadows will be my first from the author as well. I actually won The Whisper Man from Goodreads so I have no excuse!
DeleteI've been hearing raves about Survivor Song. I might just buy a copy. And I've also heard good things about He Started It. Great list, Barb!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tammy. I've heard good things about Survivor Song as well and I'm always for giving authors another chance.
DeleteSome interesting picks here. I want to read the Jenn McKinlay one too as I heard it was really good. I didn't like The Whisper Man so I am nervous about trying the new one by Alex North, maybe you can change my mind. :)
ReplyDeleteI adore Jenn's writing and am anxious to see how this one sits with me. I didn't read The Whisper Man so I won't be able to compare the two yet.
Deletea couple of these look familiar and i am always up for a good dragon story. hope they don't keep you waiting long

My luck they will all come in at once! I needs some dragons!
DeleteI haven't read any of these but I do really want to read Paris is Always a Good Idea and also The Shadows. Of course, now I also want to read Burn! :D
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it sound good? And the cover is awesome!
DeleteMay you love all of these books! Library holds give me a shiver of excitement. It's so fun to see what arrives and when.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT .
Yes but I can guarantee several will be sure to arrive all at once.
DeleteI just got the Tremblay book in the mail from the publisher. I DNF'd CABIN, so we'll see what I think of this one. I'm definitely interested in JO & LAURIE, though. It sounds really good. I hope you enjoy all these.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
Someone else who didn't enjoy Cabin - we are a rare breed :) Hope we both love Survivor Song.
DeleteGreat idea for a topic! Paris is Always a Good Idea seems like a cute story. Here's my TTT list this week.
ReplyDeleteI think so too and a perfect summer read.
DeleteKilling November was great. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's right! You loved it too!
DeleteThe Silence of Bones is supposed to be very good. I hope you get it soon!
ReplyDeleteThe cover is really cool as well. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteI love the covers for Burn and Brown Girl Roasted. 😍😍😍
ReplyDeleteThey both have great covers and really, sometimes that's all it takes right?
DeleteYour write up for Brown Girl ghosted made me lol -- it is still horror LOL! I just posted my review for The Shadows today --it's interesting and unexpected and has some great twists, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteI ran over to read your review and I'm glad you enjoyed it. I can't wait until it comes in.
DeleteMy bookshelves are like having a library in my own home! Soon I'll be starting my next big project-getting my room straightened out! That is going to take time and energy and a lot of book hauling but it lets me cull stuff for going to the charity shops!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see some updated pics.
DeleteI want to read Burn, but the library waitlist is massive, so who knows when that will happen. The Shadows and Death In Her Hands are on my must-read list too. I hope you enjoy all these!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
It's not too long on my end and Overdrive is so weird. I can be like #38 on 3 copies and before I know it, it's arrived. There is no rhyme or reason to it!
DeleteWhat a great variety, I’m really looking forward to reading The Shadows, it sounds creepy.
ReplyDeleteI've heard some really good things!
DeleteI love this topic because I am always super nosy - I mean innocently curious - about what people get from their libraries, especially when it's a cool mix like this. My library only got Jo & Laurie as an ebook and audiobook, neither of which are the most accessible formats to me, so I'm a little jealous of that particular hold.
ReplyDeleteI must say, this is the first I've heard of it but He Started It looks really interesting.
Hey I love seeing what everyone else is reading as well. It's a lot of the fun about blogging. I'm lucky enough to live on the border of WV and Ohio so I can access both library systems which greatly increases my selection. Which is good AND bad.
