September TBR

Sci Fi September

The Collapsing Empire
John Scalzi

The interdependency #1

Re-read

I am re-reading this as I really like aspects of the worldbuilding that Scalzi has done within this series and I know it will influence my own work as I am a huge Scalzi fan so I am hoping to re-read and identify anything that might be a little bit too close between my world building and his.

Places in the Darkness
Chris Bookmyre

Bookmyre is one of my favourite authors, he writes a lot of crime fiction as Chris Brookmyre, Christopher Brookmyre and Ambrose Parry (in conjunction with his wife) as I am wanting to get hints and ideas for how to build an interesting space based mystery, Brookmyre’s space based mystery is a must read.

Subscription Box September

The Jasmine Throne
Tasha Suri

Illumicrate

This is a gorgeous edition of these books and I have been wanted to sit down and dedicate time to it since it arrived in June. So I am clearing room for it now. I think I am going to love this one.

The Prison Healer
Lynette Noni

Fairyloot

Another stunning edition but another one that arrived when my tbr was chocabloc with ARCs and Tours so I haven’t had a chance to pick it up. I have heard nothing but praise for this book so I am eger to get started.

Redemptor
Jordan Ifueko

Illumicrate/Fairyloot

Yes I bought both versions of this one. I couldn’t resist. I just needed both as they were just so beautiful. I am re-reading Raybaerer as part of a buddy read (see below) so I am hoping to jump straight into this one after we have finished.

The Hollow Heart
Marie Rutkoski

Forgotten gods #2

eARC
Release date: 9/9/21

I enjoyed Midnight lie (you can read my review) but the pacing left me a little torn but the ending was knock out and had me itching for book too so when the eARC landed in my inbox last week I just knew I had to get it straight on a TBR

Defy the Night
Bridgid Kemmerer

Defy the Night #1

eARC
Release date: 14/9/21

From the blurb this promises to be a really action packed start to a new YA fantasy series and I am rather looking forward to it. Its been a minute since I have dived into YA fantasy and I am hoping this one will live up to the hype.

The Devil makes Three
Tori Bovalino

eARC
Release date: 14/9/21

A book set in a magical boarding school library with book bound demons this just sounds like a glorious book. I know my illumicrate copy is about to arrive and I suspect its going to be a gorgeous edition so I am excited.

Once upon a broken heart
Stephine Garber

eARC
Release date: 30/9/21

I enjoyed the Caraval series, they were fun and light reads. This book is rumoured to be in the same universe but with fresh set of characters. the blurb also makes it seem a little darker and I am interested to see how it all plays out.

The Liar of Red Valley
Walter Goodwater

Physical ARC
Release date: 14/9/21

I haven’t read a lot of American Gothic books but this one has me intrigued, with a little bit of paranormal and a lot of mystery I think this one will really be interesting. I am hearing great things and that it really is a book that keeps you on you toes.

Raybearer
Jordan Ifueko

Raybearer #1

Some of us in the Write reads gang have a monthly buddy read and this one won this months vote. It will be a re-read for me but I know I will enjoy getting to discuss it with others and having the excuse to pick up redemptor straight afterwards. plus it means I can crack open my pretty new illumicrate edition.
