The Fault in Our Stars will be my introduction to the author. I’m familiar with John Green, of course, and attended grad school with at least one “nerdfighter”, but have never read any of his works. Although the next two are new to me, they come highly recommended as well. Those three have been on my wishlist for awhile so I look forward to diving into them. A Spy in the House is the first novel in this YA series about an orphan instructed at a school that also happens to be a front for an all-female investigative unit. Lee was recommended to me by a close friend, who enjoyed the banter and interesting female protagonist. Jumping ahead to 1850s London, The Agency series by Y.S. I look forward to reading a different take on Nell’s rise from orange girl to royal mistress. After reading about the famous actress and mistress of Charles II Nell Gwynn in Priya Parmar’s novel Exit the Actress, I was eager for more.
Gillian Bagwell’s The Darling Strumpet is also set in Restoration England. The Devlin Diary by Christi Phillips shifts between Restoration-era London ( a new favourite time of mine to read about) and present- day Cambridge in a historical mystery.
Although I rarely receive enough reading material in one go to merit devoting a post to it, Christmas is the exception as I was recently supplied with more than enough books to keep me occupied! Originally created by Marcia at Hooked by a Book (formerly The Printed Page), it is now being hosted on a monthly basis as the ‘Mailbox Monday Blog Tour’ and can be found at Lori’s Reading Corner during the month of January. I’ve been a rather negligent blogger this past year, and although I expect I’ll be busier than ever during the first third of 2013 as I juggle a full-time job in my chosen field with finishing the last course of my graduate degree (by distance), I still hope to become more active on here.Īs I’ve said before, I love the idea behind Mailbox Monday, which serves as a weekly gathering place for readers to share their newly acquired books.
