I found this picture of Trinity College Library, and thought it would work for this meme with a little play with lighting and adding the words.
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;
Unk
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? Lets go by Published Date on the books...
This Week:
Ah, this one was a win for me about a year or more ago. I really do want to get to this series, sounds dark and gritty to me. And I like the dangerous sound here.
Goodreads Synopsis:
The King Arthur myth gets dramatically retold through the eyes of street hustler King, as he tries to unite the crack dealers, gangbangers and the monsters lurking within them to do the right thing. From the drug gangs of downtown Indianapolis, the one true king will arise. The King Arthur myth gets dramatically retold through the eyes of street hustler King, as he tries to unite the crack dealers, gangbangers and the monsters lurking within them to do the right thing. Broaddus' debut is a stunning, edgy work, genuinely unlike anything you've ever read.
Not usually a big fan of the rewriting of these legends but this does appeal.
ReplyDeleteHi Petty Witter! I had thought it sounded neat in the take of King Arthur take. Glad you like the sounds of this one. :)
DeleteHmm...not my cup of tea but you have to hand it to them...that guy on the the cover certainly makes his presence known!
ReplyDeleteGMR, that's okay. :) I understand. But yes, that guy of the cover is very strong looking. :D Thank you!
DeleteFor some reason this book doesn't really appeal to me...I like my king arthur in olden times! Does seem gritty and a lot of fun though! Hope you get a chane to read it soon!
ReplyDeleteMel, that's okay. :) I was cautious at first too, but the more I looked at it the more I like the sounds of it. I'll have to see when I can get to it. :) Thank you!
DeleteHm... this one sounds interesting. I actually don't like the tales of King Arthur, but I do like the "remakes" like Mists of Avalon. I think I might like this one too.
ReplyDeleteMelissa (Books&Things) - I have to say I don't normally read the King Arthur stuff, but like to watch it on tv. I'm hoping this will be a great read when I get to it. :) Thank you!
DeleteWeird and cool..read it!
ReplyDeleteBlodeuedd, You read this one already? Oh, I do want to get to it. ;D THank you!
DeleteThis does sound dark and gritty.....i think the cover is cool
ReplyDeleteKimba, the cover is really neat. :) Thank you. And glad you think it sounds dark and gritty too. :) I need to find time to get to it. ;)
DeleteI love the movies about Arthur, love reading about he and his Knights and since this is a new author and book to me that has a unique twist to it may have to put it on my wishing to read list as well Melissa.
ReplyDeleteJackie Burris, I usually don't read about Arthur, but do enjoy the movies. Oh, if you get and read it, I hope you enjoy it. I still need to get to it yet. lol. Thank you!
DeleteI still want to read these books. I need to get my hands on them someday.
ReplyDeleteHey Ryan! We need to set a date to read these then. ;) Glad you like the sounds of them. Hope you are doing well. Thank you!
DeleteThe cover art looks good! :)
