Noooooo!
Sorry if I skeered ya…the last novel hasn’t actually been written yet. (I think…)
Whew!
Here’s what today is about.
Please share with us the last novel (or novella) you read. Include the title, author, and publish date, and maybe your critique. Would you recommend it to readers?
Here’s mine: Finished “Out of the Far North” by Amir Tsarfati and Steve Yohn—the 3rd of 4 in a series, published in 2023. Just started the 4th, “The Sick Man’s Rage”, and I’m hoping there’s going to be a 5th! Middle East, spies, heroes, cool weapons, and a teensy bit of romance. Right up my reader’s alley.
Okay, your turn!
Good reminder for me, Deb. Those books have been on my list for a while now but haven’t had a chance to read them yet!
The last published novel I read was Elaine Viets’ new Florida cozy Sex and Death on the Beach that’s in the humorous vein of Carl Hiaasen—Tim Dorsey.
Also gotta mention a book I just beta-read by Keenan Powell called The Reunion.. It’s not published yet but should be out soon. I really enjoy Keenan’s legal thriller series and this is the latest. It’s about a reunion concert by a rock group that brings back memories of Fleetwood Mac, Jefferson Airplane, etc. A Boomer’s delight.
My last read was Romeo’s Truth…finished it just before coming to the writing conference here in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Mike was in fine fettle as my dad used to say, although Sophie seems to be mellowing him a tad. Great book and I hope JSB is hard at work on another one!
OOOO I love Romeo. I’m reading JSB’s latest – Number 10
The book I just finished was “Out of Sight” by Elmore Leonard.
Bride by Ali Hazelwood. Once it got going an interesting gothic horror/erotica. It is set in a world of werewolves, vampires, and humans. There is its downfall. half of the book is setting up the societal dynamics and not on romance/sex. Was worth $1.99 on Kindle, but I will be passing on rest of the series.
I’m about to finish Slough House by Mick Herron, number 7 in the Slow Horses series. I started reading these after watching the TV series and I’m loving them. The series did a great job of casting and keeping the characters true to the books. I’ve never been a fan of spy stories, but this series is more about the characters than the spying.
