Continuing with our midyear retrospective on the year’s most popular books so far, it’s time to head over to the speculative fiction aisles. In fact,...
Read any of these yet? How were they? Anything catch your eye to add to your TBR list?
I’ve read A Day of Fallen Night, which I really enjoyed! Lots of interesting characters with relationships that felt real, action, and dragons! I would definitely recommend reading Priory of the Orange Tree first though, just to get that background world building info.
I want to pick up The Ferryman, How to Sell a Haunted House, and A House with Good Bones since I’ve enjoyed previous works by those authors.
Do you prefer new books or used books?
When you’re getting books do you prefer to get new ones or secondhand ones?
I really enjoy the “hunt” for used editions of books that I want, and browsing through stacks in used bookstores is fun and neat way to discover books that I might not ever run across otherwise! But I’m kind of picky about the condition of books I buy, so sometimes I just go the easy route and pick up a new copy. Or if it’s a book I don’t want to wait to read I’ll snag a new one!
