I've also read lots of great books to which I've given 4.5* which you can find HERE, and all the 4* are HERE .
A click on the title will take you to the review, and I've also written a quick line to say how I discovered the book, as I think this is interesting for both readers and writers alike. I've listed them in the order I read them.
I've linked most of the authors' Twitter handles so you can follow them if you wish, too.
1. DO NOT WASH HANDS IN PLATES by Barb Taub
Non-fiction/Humorous travel memoir/India
I bought this after reading Barb's extremely funny blog @barbtaub on Twitter
2. THE HERETIC HEIR by Gemma Lawrence
Tudor historical fiction
I got to know the author via Twitter @TudorTweep because of our mutual interest in the Tudors
3. LEAVING THE BEACH by Mary Rowen
Quirky contemporary drama about eating disorders and music
I read the author's other book after reading a guest post by her on a book blog, and thought she sounded interesting; liked this one even more. @maryjrowen on Twitter.
4. THE FABRIC OF MURDER by William Savage
18th Century Murder Mystery
I read the author's first book in my capacity as a member of Rosie Amber's Book Review Team.
I liked it so much I've read and reviewed both his others; this is my favourite. @penandpension on Twitter.
5. OCTOBER RAIN by Dylan Morgan
Dystopian/Sci-Fi Novella
A Rosie Amber's Review Team choice

6. THE ART OF STAYING DEAD by Joel Hames
Conspiracy thriller
I read Mr Hames's first book (discovered via a promotional tweet); didn't like the subject matter but loved the way he writes, so thought I'd give this one a go.

7. BLACKWATER by Alison Williams
17th century witch hunts, novella
Discovered the sequel via Twitter ages ago, and for some reason had never got round to reading this, too - glad I did!

8. FIVE BOOKS by Jon Krakauer
Non-fiction: adventure/religion/injustice/mountaineering
I discovered the books of Jon Krakauer earlier in the year and decided to lump them all together as they're all brilliant! Above is the link to Under The Banner of Heaven, with links to my reviews of the others.
9. THE CALL OF THE WILD by Jack London
Classic; 19th goldrush century adventure
I read about this in one of Jon Krakauer's books, so thought I'd give it a whirl.
10. JASPER: Book Two of the Tudor Trilogy by Tony Riches
Plantagenet/Tudor historical fiction

Thanks so much for the mention Terry :)
ReplyDeleteThe pleasure was mine :)
DeleteI'm sitting here spinning my chair and high-fiving the dog. She is not impressed. But I'm thrilled. Thanks so much! This is some seriously great company to be in.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that'll be Jon Krakauer, Barb Taub and Jack London ;)
DeleteGreat choices, Terry :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! Very hard, though; I even had to leave out a couple I'd given 5* too.
DeleteGreat selection of books here, Terry. I've got a couple on my TBR list. :-)
ReplyDeleteAs well you should have, my dear, or I'd be nagging you to do so!! :D
DeleteThank you for rating October Rain so highly, Terry. I'm glad you like my work. This is a great list of books, I might have to add some of these to my TBR.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome - and you KNOW you'll never get the time to read them!!! :)
