Now, back to my book haul.
The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin
What drew me to this book was the cover ~ I'm a sucker for cool covers and this book definitely had that. But the blurb made me think that this wasn't going to be the type of book that I'd find to be original and unique. Then I remembered that one of my favourite BookTubers had enjoyed reading this book and the cover (the one in my library) had Cassandra Clare describing it as "haunting and dreamlike" so I decided to give it a go.
Next, After You by Jojo Moyes
This is the sequel to Me Before You, which I planned to read... before I watched the film adaptation on my flight to Bangladesh in February! Oops. I wasn't blown away by the film but I got the feeling the book is much better and I wish I'd read it first. Having watched the film though, I have no plans to read Me Before You now but I do want to find out what happens to the female lead after... well, You.
Also on my reading list this month is Prophecy by S.J. Parris
This book is a spy thriller set in Elizabethan times and is Cityread London's book of 2017. Cityread London is a charity that supports London's libraries and encourages Londoners to read books.
Next up, The Vatican Princess by C.W. Gortner
I wanted to try something a little different and the blurb to this book seemed like it could be just that. I haven't read historical fiction for a while, and nothing set in fifteenth century Italy as I believe this book is, so I am looking forward to digging into this one.
Delirium by Lauren Oliver is also on my to-read pile this month.
I'm not too sure what this book is about ~ the blurb is very vague; something about the cure for love ~ but it sounded interesting enough and I've heard good things about it on BookTube so I'm keeping an open mind and hoping this risk of a pick pays off.
Kishwar Desai's Witness the Night was on the Librarians Recommend shelf so I picked it up.
This is a mystery set in North India and will be the first India-based novel of this type for me, so I'm excited to see where it goes. It also won the Costa First Novel Award so I know it will be a good read.
Finally, The Falconer by Elizabeth May
All I know about this book is that it's set in Scotland, 1844, and its about Fae.
Sarah J. Maas (author of the Throne of Glass series and the Court of Thorns and Roses series, both about Fae/Faeries) is quoted as enjoying this debut novel so I'm in. I wonder how it will compare to Maas's books, which I love...
I will review these reads at the end of the month for you, so make sure to come back for that :)
