Just finished reading the galleys of the following:
Enclave by Ann Agguire
Ruby Red by Kerstin Gier
Pearl in the Sand by Tessa Afshar
With Enclave, I hated the cover that was on my paper edition although the hardback edition looks great! I almost didn't read it just because of the cover. I was lucky enough to have an audio recording of the first 2 chapters of the book and that got me hooked to read more. Although I did like this book as much as other dystopian literature it is worth the read. I did not love this book like the "Hunger Game" Series. Still gave me nightmares--but it doesn't take much to do that. :)
Ruby Red---AWESOME! Really, nice surprise and something new. Sorta a "Time Traveler's Wife" for teens. Anxious to see the next installment in English. A favorite in this genre.
Pearl in the Sand a step out of my normal genre I read. Although I do read a lot of historical fiction I generally don't pick up Christian fiction. I will be looking for more by this author. She has made Biblical characters very real and enjoyable to read.
Still reading:
A Long Walk to Water by Linda Sue Park
I love the way Linda Sue Park writes. I predict this one has some awards coming its way. Again not a normal genre I would read but it was so good. Historical/realistic fiction on Sudan. very timely after the new elections there. Just from what little I have read, I would recommend it!
That is the latest. Hope to keep this up. If you cross my blog about books or ramblings about books please feel free to respond. Happy reading!
