This Week's Reads

Autumn
by Jasmine Becket-Griffith (DeviantArt)

Secondborn by Amy A Bartol
(Goodreads)
**I was not familiar with this book when I was it on our libraries shelf. This was another cover grab. I really like the colors and the simpleness of the pic. Add in Dystopia, which I haven't read much of this year, and I'm looking forward to this one.

Rebel Seoul by Axie Oh
(Goodreads)
**Another dystopia here. I'm not sure about this one but I grabbed it as a just in case. It's a kind of military dystopia, which anything military is hit or miss for me.

This Week's Reads

The Haunted House
by anacathie (DeviantArt)

Midnight at The Bright Ideas Bookstore by Matthew Sullivan
(Goodreads)
** I love mysteries set in a bookstore. One of the "bookFrogs" commits suicide and his favorite bookseller must unravel the whys and how it may be connected to her.

A Plague of Giants by Kevin Hearne
Seven Kennings #1 (Goodreads)
**I keep meaning to read Hearne's Iron Druid series but still haven't started (I even own book 1). A story of warring giants and elemental magic told by a bard. Many elements that I love in a good fantasy.
