FINISHED SINCE THE LAST UPDATE:


 

It has been two weeks since I shared what I have been reading with everyone. I read all of my January review copies. I think this is the first time in over a year that I am caught up on review copies – both electronic and print versions. It’s a great feeling!

As usual, my reading took an eclectic turn. From a weird little horror story to an intense thriller to a historical fiction novel set in Tudor England to a historical fiction novel set among the upper echelon of New York Society to a freaky science-fiction/fantasy/horror hybrid. My favorite of the group is by far the latter, which ended up being my first 2016 book.

Michel Bussi’s novel is releasing tomorrow from Hachette Books; you should check out this imaginative unknown identity mystery for yourself. My review will post later this week.

I did really love Melanie Benjamin’s newest right up until the end. For some reason, the end fell flat for me; however, I know others are going to love it.
