\nGreetings, Book People of Earth! I kind of enjoyed doing that previous post on my TBR pile, so here’s another one with a few more recent acquisitions. Comments, opinions, and ancillary recommendations are welcome!<\/p>\n

Clockwise from Upper Left: Out on the Wire<\/i> is a graphic novel recommended by friend, fellow author, and writing group colleague Sara Lewis Holmes<\/a>. She mentioned it during our writing group meeting and it sounds right up my alley, since it’s about various awesome public radio personalities AND it’s a GN by an artist I really like.<\/p>\n

The Vanishing Throne<\/i> is the sequel to The Falconer<\/i>, a faerie\/steampunk\/action fantasy which I reviewed here<\/a> and which ended up being quite enjoyable. Stay tuned for an upcoming review soonish, and a guest post from author Elizabeth May on Tuesday next, thanks to Chronicle Books! I’m hoping she’ll talk a bit about world-building, a topic that is much on my mind currently…<\/p>\n

My mom lent me the first two books in a series called The Neapolitan Novels by Italian author Elena Ferrante, the first being My Brilliant Friend<\/i>. Evidently it starts with the character’s childhood and follows her as she grows up, which is always an interesting strategy. I liked it in the Anne of Green Gables<\/i> books, the Little House<\/i> books, and the Betsy-Tacy books, so I am certainly intrigued. Evidently these books are quite popular in Europe but not so well known here.<\/p>\n

I got a copy of Once Was a Time<\/i> for review some time ago and it languished on the pile, even though I very much like the sound of it. It’s a middle grade read set in wartime 1940s England, so that is an immediate draw for me. Also, it involves time travel and a main character named Charlotte–possibly a nod to the cult classic Charlotte Sometimes<\/i>? Anyway, I look forward to it.<\/p>\n

Happy Reading!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
