This week I received lots of book trades...
Friday Black by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah
This is a collection of short stories about race and cultural diversity. They tackle some of the difficulties surrounding these topics. I think there might be a slight magical realism aspect to some of these stories too. I enjoy short stories every now and again so I'm looking forward to giving this one a go.
Daughter of the Siren Queen by Trisha Levenseller
This is the 2nd book in a duology, the first one being Daughter of the Pirate King. I haven't read the first one yet but I'm excited to dive in now I've got the 2nd one too.
Turtles All the Way Down by John Green
I've never read a John Green book nor have I really been interested in reading one as I'm not the biggest contemporary romance fan however, the mystery element of this one intrigues me.
The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon
I have heard nothing but great things about this one however it is massive! I'm planning on getting to it very soon otherwise I'll keep putting it off because of the size.
Have you read any of these? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
What books did you receive this week?
Friday Black sounds like an interesting read that I'd like to check out as well. I am curious what you'll think of Turtles All the Way Down
ReplyDeleteI still have Turtles on the Way Down on my bookshelf (I bought it last December and still need to read it!)

ReplyDeleteHaven't read any of these but have friends that adored Turtles
ReplyDeleteOoo! So many awesome looking books!
ReplyDeleteI have the Priory of the Orange Tree. I cannot wait to read it.
ReplyDeleteOoo they all look so good. Hope you enjoy them all.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI just started The Priory of the Orange Tree last night and really like it so far!
ReplyDeleteI want to read The Priority of the Orange Tree so I'll wait to hear your thoughts on that one!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is a massive John Green fan but Turtles All the Way Down wasn't a hit with her. I also tend to put big books aside. It's daunting seeing all those unread pages.
ReplyDeleteThe short story collections sounds good. Happy reading
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed John Green's Fault in Our Stars. The Priory has my interest but I'm not big on chunkster books. I'd most likely get it at Audible.
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading!
The only John Green I've read is The Fault in Our Stars.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week!
