I feel like for the past couple of weeks I’ve been telling you about new books that have arrived in my mailbox and I just haven’t had a chance to share. So I’ll probably have to share this in parts. Anyway, thank you to the courtesy of publishers here are the books that have arrived:
The Hurlyburly’s Husband by Jean Teulé. I still haven’t read his American debut, The Suicide Shop, but I can say that both sound extremely good so I think I’ll be in for a treat.
The Dead Wife’s Handbook by Hannah Beckerman. Rachel, Max and their daughter Ellie had the perfect life – until the night Rachel’s heart stopped beating. Sounds like this book may require me to have some Kleenex on-hand.
A Dark Song of Blood by Ben Pastor. I believe this is another entry in the Martin Bora series set in Italy during WWII. Would like to read this one but will have to start with the first book, Lumen.
Three Princes by Ramona Wheeler. I think this is Fantasy which I don’t read much of but it’s supposed to be a richly imagined, cinematic vision of a modern Egyptian Empire. Could be fun.
Lydia’s Party by Margaret Hawkins. I’ve seen this one mentioned around the blogosphere and I am looking forward to reading this story of friendship.
I Always Loved You by Robin Oliveira. Not only does this book have a pretty cover but it’s a story about Mary Cassatt and Edgar Degas. This has to be good, right?
What about you? Received any new ARCs recently?
Looks like you’ll have an enjoyable time reading those books, Iliana! I’m looking forward to your reviews.
That stack is going to keep you busy! 🙂 I’ve had a few ARCs arrive. I’m hoping to get to them all soon. Happy reading.
You’ve reminded me I have Lumen on my shelf somewhere needing to be read. I’ll be curious to know what you think of it and A Dark Song of Blood when you get to it.
The Dead Wife’s Handbook also sound interesting–sad too.
I hope you enjoy your new books!
Enjoy the books! They all look good, especially I Always Loved You by Robin Oliveira.
Melody – I am drowning in new books but it’s such a good problem to have isn’t it? 🙂
Vasilly – I know! And, I have another stack I need to mention. Goodness, it’s so good to have new books but I need more time!
Literary Feline – The Dead Wife’s Handbook has a great cover too so it’s like an added incentive to read it. And, I’m looking forward to Lumen too. I love a good foreign setting!
Bookworm – Doesn’t that one sound great? I love to read about the lives of artists.
I received The Hurlyburly’s Husband and The Dead Wife’s Handbook, too. I received The Suicide Shop ARC last year; it is very short, but I didn’t like it much. It is satirical, but somehow I couldn’t maintain much interest–short as it was.
I’m hesitating on The H.’s H. (which is definitely much longer), and I may wait to try it until after you give it a review.
