"I grinned, and yanked the hanging back, revealing the hidden door behind it. It stood slightly ajar, held open by a bronze spaniel someone had place in the crack as a doorstop. An enormous padlock splayed open and dangled from its hasp.
Please. I prayed as I grasped the crystal door knob. Please don't let this be the room where they hide the deformed cannibal cousin. 'Cause it's just too damn early for that." Kindle loc. 13%*

This week's topic is: Top Ten 2016 Debuts Novels That "Caught My Attention"
*in no particular order
**So apparently I don't really have that many. Basically with debuts I tend to wait until reviews come in before making a final decision. Though there are always the occasion debut that I look forward to on my own!
1. FEAR THE DROWNING DEEP by Sarah Glenn Marsh--this sounds intriguing, part mystery and part witchy!
2. INTO THE DIM by Janet B. Taylor--partially cheating since I am reading it already! LOL. But it involves time traveling which pretty much has my attention!
3. BURNING GLASS by Kathryn Purdie--this is yet another one that just sounds intriguing!
4. BLACKHEARTS by Nicole Castroman--a Blackbeard tale? Sounds promising!
5. THE READER by Traci Chee--sounds a bit intriguing but still not sure if it's for me! The title is what caught my eye!
6. THIEF OF LIES by Brenda Drake--a read involving bookishness? You have to ask?
And that's about all I've found so far!
Ooh, I haven't heard of most of these but I really like the teaser from Into the Dim. Blackhearts is already on my TBR list and I think I'll be adding Thief of Lies and Burning Glass :) Thanks so much for sharing, Jessica!

I really want to read "Into the Dim"! It has a sense of the Outlander here... :)
ReplyDeleteCannibal cousin? It is too early for that! Haha great tease.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to Thief of Lies and Into the Dim as well.

Your teaser made me laugh! Lots of good book ahead.
ReplyDeleteI'm playing (with a giveaway) at Beth Fish Reads
Thief of Lies! Yes yes yes! The book had me sold at the fact that the characters jump between worlds of libraries. Books and fantasy, what more could you ask for! :D
ReplyDeleteAnd I love your teaser! If the rest of the book runs along a similar vein, I will have to check it out.

I've seen a lot of these as I've gone browsing around the Net lately. Pretty covers on these ones. Hope you get a chance to squeeze them into your schedule next year.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting The Book Connection.

ReplyDeleteFascinating! I'm assuming the character is exaggerating about the deformed cannibal cousin?? But maybe not!
ReplyDeleteMy Tuesday post features the Rawhide ‘n Roses anthology.
Into the Dim sounds so cool! I really should have added The Reader to my list. :)

xo Stephanie @ In Wonderland
I haven't heard of any of these yet! I'm with you that I generally like to see how others took to it before deciding, but some of these do really sound interesting!
ReplyDeleteInto the Dim and Blackhearts sound amazing ^^ I'm looking forward to those!
ReplyDeleteLaura @ psilovethatbook
Time travel is one of those things that turn me off a book. I'm glad you are enjoying the book. My teaser (and 2000th post) this week comes from Inherit the Stars by Tessa Elwood. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteBlackhearts and The Reader really interest me! My TTT
ReplyDeleteThe books you have here that aren't on my list are still ones that I'm really looking forward to. I love all the covers, too. Great list!
ReplyDeleteMichelle @ Michelle's Minions
I've seen Into the Dim on a lot of top ten lists today so it was nice to get to read a teaser from it. It sure sounds like it will be good!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your list too. Blackhearts made my list too. :-) I am eager to read some of the others on your list. Fear the Drowning Deep in particular. The Reader also sounds like it will be good.
lol @ the quote "Please. I prayed as I grasped the crystal door knob. Please don't let this be the room where they hide the deformed cannibal cousin. 'Cause it's just too damn early for that."" How are you liking the book so far? I'm being nosy ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I can't wait for Blackhearts, Into the Dim, and Burning Glass! Hope you love them!

ReplyDelete-michelle @ Michelle & Leslie's Book Picks
Due to my TBR that has grown from a pile to a mountain to an island, all I can do is look at the pretty covers. No TTT post for me this week. :/
ReplyDeleteI tend to wait for the reviews with the debuts too! Nice picks!
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting me!
