Now that the dust has settled from moving house, I feel that I can finally get back to reading! It's been a while since I've been able to spend time with my beloved books. We all know that I love a list, and forward planning my reads, so let's get down to what's in store this month!
I received a beautiful package from one of my university friends, who has now written (and published!) a book. Snow in Hell is Sophie's debut novel which explores a gothic world of vampires, necromancers and hooded deceivers. I'm already intrigued!
Midwinderblood is another fantastical book that I'll be reading. It's based in 2073 where nobody ages and no children are born. And to finish off the surreal and dystopian theme, I'll finally be finishing The Hunger Games trilogy! I've loved the previous books (you can find my reviews here and here) so I'm really looking forward to seeing how the series is tied up in Mockingjay.
Tampa is also on my list and the only book that doesn't fit the theme. It explores the complex and perverse relationship between a young teacher and her students. It's received a lot of rave reviews and was described by Dazed & Confused as "dangerous fiction".
What are you planning to read this month?
I'd be really interested to hear your thoughts about Tampa... I'm kind of intrigued by it, but equally put off by it! Snow in Hell sounds fascinating too!

I'll make sure I review them both once I've finished them! :) x
DeleteI am enjoying the colour themes a lot! Not to judge the book by the cover, but I love all of the front covers!
ReplyDeleteHaha. They do go very well together, don't they? :) x
