Dark Academia isn’t a genre I read often, but I am fascinated by the evolution of language, so this one caught my attention.

I know almost nothing about this book. There isn’t even a goodreads description. I came across it when I was browsing new releases, and the title was enough to tell me I have to read it.

It’s no secret that I love Greek Mythology retellings. I also love seeing a story from the “villains” perspective. I can’t wait to see this take on Medusa’s story.

I love the concept of this book. Book eaters are a secret line of people who eat books and retain the information. Sounds perfect for anyone who loves devouring books.

Fourteen Days: An Unathorized Gathering

Release date: 11/1/22

No cover has been revealed yet, but here is the description:

One week into the COVID-19 shutdown, tenants of a Lower East Side apartment building in Manhattan have begun to gather on the rooftop and tell stories. With each passing night, more and more neighbors gather, bringing chairs and milk crates and overturned pails. Gradually the tenants—some of whom have barely spoken to each other—become real neighbors. In this Decameron-like serial novel, general editor Margaret Atwood, Authors Guild president Douglas Preston, and a star-studded list of contributors create a beautiful ode to the people who couldn’t get away from the city when the pandemic hit. A dazzling, heartwarming collection, Fourteen Days reveals how beneath the horrible loss and suffering, some communities managed to become stronger.

Includes writing from:
Margaret Atwood, Douglas Preston, Celeste Ng, Emma Donoghue, Dave Eggers, John Grisham, Diana Gabaldon, Ishmael Reed,Meg Wolitzer, Luis Alberto Urrea, James Shapiro, Sylvia Day, Mary Pope Osborne, Monique Truong, Hampton Sides, R. L. Stine, R. O. Kwon,David Byrne, Louise Erdrich, Neil Gaiman, Rachel Kushner, Candace Bushnell, Nora Roberts, Scott Turow, Tommy Orange, and more!

I think the description says it all. So many great authors!

I love the Lady Julia Grey novels, but haven’t read any of Raybourn’s other series, despite many recommendations. Sixty-something female assassins are irresistible though.

The Tudor Era is my favorite historical period to read about. This focuses on the concept of courtly love and how it shaped history.

Sarah Addison Allen introduced me to magical realism. Her stories are filled with so much heart, I can’t wait for her latest.

I was so happy to learn that another book in the Graceling realm is out to soon!

Colleen Hoover is one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait for the sequel to It Ends With Us. We finally get to hear Atlas’s point of view!
