Contemporary romance, literature in translation, historical fiction and others are just some of the themes of these books. I’m really excited about these and hope you will be too. Let me know which one you’d pick first.
The Clementine Complex sounds like it could be really fun. And I already have What You Are Looking For is in the Library on my TBR list. It’s one of the bookish books I’m hoping to read this year for Susan’s reading challenge over at Bloggin’ ’bout books. 😀
That’s a great variety of books you’ve there, Iliana! Hope you enjoy reading them all and happy Friday! 🙂
I’ve read The Unsettled … and thought it was ambitious … It follows three generations: a grandma in Alabama, a daughter in Philly (45-ish) and her son, age 10. The daughter gets a bit under the spell of a former Black Panther and things turn troublesome. See what you think. It took some concentration to follow parts of it. I hadn’t read the author’s debut novel which I think got much attention. Happy reading.
Lark – That does sound like a fun love story doesn’t it? And, of course the Library book sounds just like the read for bookworms 🙂 Hope you enjoy it!
Melody – I keep saying I’m not going to request more books but who am I kidding with so much variety! Have a great weekend!
Susan – Oh interesting! I do like the way it sounds and enjoy multi-generational novels but I have to say sometimes those are hard for me to read via kindle especially if there’s a lot of back and forth. So I may have to look for a physical book instead!
I’m looking forward to Witch of Wild Things too! I will be picking it up this week. The cover is so pretty, right? Hope you enjoy these!
Rachel @ Waves of Fiction – Yes, that cover is gorgeous! I’ve been hearing some good things about these so I can’t wait to dive in!
