Here's a much longer and more varied list of books for you to sample. Enjoy!
THE BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTERS Nicole Baart: Women's Fiction
How far can you fall? Do you have the courage to climb back up? That's the question Adrienne Vogt and Harper Penny must answer in this powerful story.
KOMARR Lois McMaster Bujold: SF/Space Opera
Miles Vorkosigan, Bujold's extraordinary and unlikely hero finds love., only winning the lady's hand is not for the faint of heart.
TYPEWRITER FROM HELL Diane Cox: Paranormal Romance
Typewriter from Hell is a devilishly fun read. I dare you to put it down...or to look at an old typewriter the same way again.
SUMMER AT HIDEAWAY KEY Barbara Davis: Women's Fiction
This story is a poignant study of three women and how sacrifice, love, and forgiveness figure into life. Fabulous Read.
THE SPACE BETWEEN Diana Gabaldon: historical, paranormal, time travel
Once again, Diana Gabaldon takes us on a wild ride. This time, it's the story of Michael Murray and Joan McKimmie and their arrival in France. Their lives are complicated by the Comte St. Germaine. And that's never a good thing.
FIVE DAYS LEFT Julie Lawson Timmer: General Fiction
The real life of these two families is not for the fainthearted, and the language reflects that. Both Mara--a mother with Huntington's Disease--and Scott--a middle school teacher in inner-city Detroit--face saying goodbye to their beloved children. This one will keep you turning pages late into the night.
THE LEMONCHOLY LIFE OF ANNIE ASTER Scott Wilbanks: Time Travel Family Saga
This is a book for fans of Science Fiction, family sagas, women's fiction, and just plain good storytelling. Scott Wilbanks' debut is wonderful.
Next Two Weeks: I'll be taking the next two weeks off to plan for and attend the Women's Fiction Writers Association's first writing retreat in Albuquerque. Keep reading and I'll see you back In the Shade on October 4. ;-)
You turned me onto Bujold and I'll be forever grateful. I love those books!
ReplyDeleteHave fun at the retreat, I'm quite jealous.
You're welcome, Sara! I love them, too. Bujold is an acknowledged Grand Master of SF and Fantasy. Her Challion books are equal or better to the Vorkosigan ones. I love 'em.
DeleteYay, more DG!
ReplyDeleteI love the titles of The Lemoncholy Life and Typewriter from Hell. *backs away from ever-growing wishlist*
Ah! Just doing my job as a Book Pusher. ;-)
DeleteThe Typewriter From Hell sounds like an interesting read. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt is, Misha!
