FOR REVIEW

     Shopping can be Hell. Frenemies Meg and Shar find out the reality of this after they hurt an innocent bystander in a tussle over the perfect shoes. Next thing they know they are in debt to the Lord of the Underworld Hades to atone for their debt as Sirenz luring contracted individuals to the Underworld.   This sounds so fun. Thanks to FLUX for the book and cool bookmarks, stickers and buttons.

I discovered T.C. McCarthy through his short story The Legionnaires from Orbit Short Fiction. This is his debut novel about a war torn future where genetically engineered soldiers  fight a never ending war. T.C. makes military action very accessible to the general layperson. So excited to read this.

Thanks to ORBIT

OK. I thought I was done with the literary mash ups after the last Pride & Prejudice with Zombies book. How could I possible refuse cute kitty face?!!! The MeowMorphosis ( I know, Kafka's ghost is screaming ) is the story of Gregor Samsa who wakes up from a dream to find he is an adorable kitten. While the original story took place only in the Samsa apartment in this version Samsa actually travels out into the word and into a journey involving other characters in Kafka's work.

Thanks to QUIRK



WON

I won these three books from a readathon a few weeks ago. Secret is a mystery novel and Dandelions and The Hidden Will are historical fiction about the Blood Countess Elizabeth Bathory.

Really great book I'm excited to dive into.
