Halloween Bingo 2019 PreParty — Question for 08/10 (Day 10): Most Anticipated Read for 2019? – Lioness at Large

Halloween Bingo 2019 PreParty — Question for 08/10 (Day 10): Most Anticipated Read for 2019?

MR suggested a group or buddy read of Margaret Atwood’s The Testaments — I’d definitely be up for that.  (Ditto Toni Morrison’s Beloved, if it comes to that.)  If I can work up the nerve, I may reread The Handmaid’s Tale prior to bingo just so as to have the continuity experience; either way, I’m definitely planning to read The Testaments.

Delia Owens’s Where the Crawdads Sing is the kind of immensely hyped book that I would ordinarily not touch for another year or two at least, just to see how much staying power it has once the hype has died off.  But it’s been reviewed favorably — enthusiastically even — by several people whose opinion I trust, so now I actually do want to see what all the excitement is about.

Joy Ellis’s The Guilty Ones is book 4 in her Jackman and Evans series, the second book of which completely blew me away during last year’s bingo to the point that I’ve since also listened to all the other books from the series that have been released on audio to date.  While my first experience (Their Lost Daughters) still remains unsurpassed, the series has fast become a new favorite and each new release is eagerly anticipated.  (Obviously it also helps that all of the audiobooks are narrated by Richard Armitage.)

And Priscilla Royal’s 13th century Prioress Eleanor / Tyndal Priory series has been on my TBR for a minor eternity, so I’m really hoping I’ll finally be able to make room for it this time around!

Adventures in Arda

Note: This was my summer 2022 project — but while I posted the associated project pages here at the time (Middle-earth and its sub-project pages concerning the people and peoples, timeline, geography, etc. of Arda and Middle-earth, see enumeration under the Boromir meme, below), I never got around to also copying this introductory post from […]

Michael J. Sullivan: Legends of the First Empire

Michael J. Sullivan’s Riyria books have been on my TBR for a while, but until I’d read two short stories from the cycle — The Jester and Professional Integrity — I hadn’t been sure whether his writing would be for me.  Then I found out that (much like Tolkien’s Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, and The History […]
