Books carried over from June

I am sounding like a broken record by now. There were a few books I did not get to from my June TBR, not for any particular reason I do want to read them.

As part of my 2020 resolutions I have to get through all my monthly TBRs I mean I can still DNF.  So that means that when I do not read a book in the set timeline (usually I only set a monthly TBR) I MUST read it in the next one in addition to the normal TBR set.

So the books from June I need to get to:

First off I began one and barely got 100 pages into it, that will be the first one I finish this month:

*The Hero of Ages by Brandon Sanderson
This is the final installment in the trilogy, I am enjoying it very much, not even sure why it's taking me this long to get through it.


There were also plenty I didn't even begin so here they are, the second month they're included in a TBR this time I will read them!

*The eleventh metal by Brandon Sanderson
This short story I will not read until I finish the hero of ages so I need to get my act together and get to it! It is a fairly short one in a single sitting it should be done.


*The last arguments of Kings by Joe Abercrombie
Another series finale, not sure if I avoid them unconsciously because I'm not sure I will enjoy the ending this series will get XD


*Road work by Stephen King published in 1981 written initially under his Richard Bachman pseudonym. It looks like a western, but I am not sure what it is about but I did find it in Scribd.


*Post-apocalyptic books:
*Song for the unraveling earth by Brian Everson a collection of dark short stories.

*Swan song by Robert McCammon. In a wasteland born of rage and fear, populated by monstrous creatures and marauding armies, Earth’s last survivors have been drawn into a final battle between good and evil that will decide the fate of humanity. There’s Sister, who discovers a strange and transformative glass artifact in the destroyed Manhattan streets…Joshua Hutchins, the pro wrestler who takes refuge from the nuclear fallout at a Nebraska gas station…and Swan, a young girl possessing special powers, who travels alongside Josh to a Missouri town where healing and recovery can begin with her gifts.


*Latin/Spanish/Mexican authors
-Hasta que deje de llover (until it stops raining) by Javier Martinez

This is a boy meets boy love story. So yeah pretty fitting for Pride month. 

*Rereads picked for this month
-Days of Blood and Starlight by Laini Taylor. This is the second book in the trilogy, we follow Karou as she struggles in a war between Chimeras and other angels. She needs to pick her allies, make an army and get over her internal struggles her heart is causing. 


-Captive Prince by CS Pacat. This follows a man who is betrayed and sold as a slave to the enemy kingdom as he struggles to survive, he needs to hide his identity and yet find a way to escape from the place where everyone would like to see dead.

Shot trying to stop him, Valerie inadvertently saved the life of a classmate, but was implicated in the shootings because of the list she helped create.

The Guest List

Image
Author: Lucy Foley Genre: Mystery/Thriller Original publication date: Book description: Set on a remote island off the Irish coast, this is one guest list no one would want to be on, just as no one would have wanted an invitation to the New Year's Eve party in Foley's previous novel, The Hunting Party. Lives unravel amid the revelry on an eerie and remote island as family and friends assemble for a glam wedding in an updated Murder on the Orient Express. Each of the principal characters has a reason to want one of their number dead, there are old secrets, and one of them is murdered. Thoughts: We follow a few different people, it is set up in two timelines one of them is the day of arriving at the island, some of the guests are invited to stay in the island since the day before the event takes place.  The main character is the bride, as in any wedding. She is a very self-centered and egotistical woman. She is very focused on her image and what the event is going to give her in...
