Yay, Books! – February 4, 2016

February 4, 2016 ·

Today was a particularly good book mail day, so I thought I’d share a few highlights:

february 4 book mail

  • The High Places: Stories by Fiona McFarlane (May 10) I squealed really loud when I heard this was coming! I am a HUGE fan of her last book, The Night Guest (which has one of the most amazing covers). This will be like several little McFarlane books in one place.
  • The Last Painting of Sara de Vos by Dominic Smith (April 5) This one sounded soooooo intriguing. Art! History! Forgery! YES PLEASE.
  • Black Apple by Joan Crate (March 1) This one sounds like it’s going to be a heartbreaker, but early word is that it’s also really amazing. Like REALLY amazing.
  • Screamin’ Jay Hawkins’ All-Time Greatest Hits by Mark Binelli (May 3) Holy cats, I am excited to read this! Hawkins was a madman, a one-of-a-kind guy, who fathered at least five dozen children all over America. To repeat my earlier expression: Holy cats.
  • The Good Lieutenant by Whitney Terrell (June 7) I cannot read enough war novels, and this sounds like a really good one, about a woman lieutenant during the Iraq War.
  • Paper Tigers by Damien Angelica Walters (February 29) “…a photo album inhabited by a predatory ghost…”??!? This one sounded so completely bonkers and awesome that I almost broke my finger hitting the ‘request’ button. And, bonus, it’s from Dark House Press, a Curbside Splendor imprint.

 

Any of these sound interesting to you?

    I was just looking at the galley of The Last Painting of Sara de Vos today and thinking, “I need to read that one soon.”

    Predatory ghosts?! Tragic fires?! I would punch a kitten (ok not really like EVER) for a copy of Paper Tigers.

    Paper Tigers looks soooo interesting and I love the cover! I’m also super curious about the Fiona McFarlane stories even though I admittedly haven’t started The Night Guest yet. BUT I WANT TO. IT WILL HAPPEN. One day.
