Once upon a time, not so long ago, I declared that reading is social. I don’t think it’s possible to become untethered. Neither do I wish to become unplugged from the social aspects of reading. However, at times I do feel somewhat conflicted about it. Once in a while pre-publication hype wears me out. That’s why part of me yearns to read off the radar (again).
Hot off the Press – Jan 25, 2016
Some great titles are coming out in paperback this week and a number of books are re-releasing — notably The Siren by Kiera Cass and I Was Here by Gayle Forman. Among the new releases, The Love That Split the World by Emily Henry has been making waves in the weeks leading up to its publication.
Retrospect #108: January 24
Adding more damage to my TBR (to be read) pile I received in the mail my orders of The Chimes by Anna Small and Die Verschworenen by Ursula Poznanski. I’ve wanted to read The Chimes since last July but only managed to get my hands on it now because the UK release date was pushed back several times. Now I finally own a copy and definitely plan to red this one next month.
Project 52 – Into the Night
The first book that came to mind in relation to this week’s theme, Into the Night, was This Song Will Safe Your Life by Leila Sales. Most of the story is set at night as Elise tends to get out of the house when she can’t sleep. Then she discovers DJing and the nights fully take over her life. Naturally, it’s a book that embodies the meaning of carrying on into the night.
Epic Recs: January 2016
It’s been so many months since Hazel and I joined up for Epic Recs. We didn’t forget about it though! We were just pre-occupied with other matters. To celebrate the new year we looked over each other’s TBR piles last month and pulled out titles we each thought the other should prioritise and read this month.
