Let's talk about those books already on the shelves, yours or the stores.
I have a post for books I'm looking forward to coming out;
Looking Forward To...
But what about all those wonderful books that are ALREADY on the shelves?
Whether it be on your shelf waiting to be read or on the shelves in the stores waiting for you to give it a good home.
So, I thought I would share a book a week that is just waiting for me to travel through it's world.
Now... where do I start? Back to the WANT list this week...
This book I first saw at a fellow bloggers site. It also sounds like a wonderful fantasy read. The old fashion style.
Daggerspell
By: Katharine Kerr
Goodreads Synopsis:
Even as a young girl, Jill was a favorite of the magical, mysterious Wildfolk, who appeared to her from their invisible realm. Little did she know her extraordinary friends represented but a glimpse of a forgotten past and a fateful future. Four hundred years-and many lifetimes-ago, one selfish young lord caused the death of two innocent lovers. Then and there he vowed never to rest until he'd rightened that wrong-and laid the foundation for the lives of Jill and all those whom she would hold dear: her father, the mercenary soldier Cullyn; the exiled berserker Rhodry Maelwaedd; and the ancient and powerful herbman Nevyn, all bound in a struggle against darkness. . . and a quest to fulfill the destinies determined centuries ago. Here in this newly revised edition comes the incredible novel that began one of the best-loved fantasy seers in recent years—a tale of bold adventure and timeless love, perilous battle and pure magic. For long-standing fans of Deverry and those who have yet to experience this exciting series, Daggerspell is a rare and special treat.

I am so curious about the sci fi genre as a whole especially these oldies. i don't read much at all because I never know where to start.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm feeling guilty about all those neglected books sitting on my shelves begging to be read/re-read.
ReplyDeleteI really liked these..up to a certain point when the storyline became another and then it got weird
ReplyDeleteI love this series. It is what started me reading fantasy back when I was 16. I've been hooked ever since. And the author just released an urban fantasy book too. I'm looking forward to reading it.
ReplyDeleteMichelle (Red Headed Book Child) - They are fun and reading the oldies are always interesting. :) Just pick one up some time. :)
ReplyDeletePetty Witter - Oh, I know! I have all these books here I've bought, and recently this post is on the ones I want! I'm so doomed when it comes to books and ever getting caught up. :D
Blodeuedd - Oh, glad to hear you enjoyed this. :) I would like to give it a try some day. :)
WonderBunny - I thought it was your blog I saw this on!! :) Your review got me to add it to my Want list, and well, I hate to admit I have not got it yet. But I think about it. :) Thank you!!
Oh I have way too many waiting on my shelf..I should probably start Gibaldon's Outlander series (but the size of these books are intimidating!)
ReplyDeleteMel! Hi! Thank you for stopping by. :) Lol. I hear you on the size of books. :) I seem to get intimitaded lately with trying to get through all the books and the length scares me. :) But surely sounds like an amazing series. :)
