Book Blog - Fall/Winter Preview

Guys. There are so many great books coming out this fall and winter. It's crazy.

I've already fan-girled about Laini Taylor's DAUGHTER OF SMOKE AND BONE and Marie Lu's LEGEND. These next books won't be released for a while yet (November-January), but each one of them should be on your radar. Here they are, with a little teensy teaser as to why. (I'll be posting reviews as we get closer to publication dates.)

SHATTER ME by Tahereh Mafi -- This one is all about style and steaminess. Truly innovative in it's prose, with a romance that is completely dee-lishous. I devoured this.

EVERNEATH by Brodi Ashton -- This is such a gorgeous, dark interpretation of the myth of Persephone. Beautifully written and brimming with atmosphere... It's so hard to keep these short. I really would love to go on.

INCARNATE by Jodi Meadows -- This is the story of Anna, whose soul, alone, has not been reincarnated in a land of dragons, sylph and laser pistols. Musical, utterly charming and truly original. 

As mentioned above, full reviews to come. One final book--and this one is purchasable now--for you writers out there. Orson Scott Card's CHARACTER & VIEWPOINT. I recommend this to every writer I know. You'll find tips on how to make characters sympathetic & unsympathetic. Invaluable for a library on writing craft. I own two, because I live in fear of losing one and being stranded without.
