August Covers

 

August Covers 

There are some great books with covers to match this month, the latest installment from Tess Gerritsen jumped into my hands as soon as I saw it and the wonderful Umbrella has been longlisted for the Booker Prize. The adult version of The Rise of Nine gives a striking new image to the Lorien Legacies, as the series tries to round up those stray, empty handed, Hunger Games readers.

Grabbing my eye the most this month was Toby's Room by Pat Barker [Hamish Hamilton, HB]

My other Top five are:

Last to Die by Tess Gerritsen [Bantam Press, HB]

Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire [Simon & Schuster, PB]

The Rise of Nine by Pittacus Lore [Penguin, HB]

Bones are Forever by Kathy Reichs [William Heinemann, HB]

Umbrella by Will Self [Bloomsbury, HB]

The Return...

So it has been a while since I've posted but my fingers have been a little busy recently, namely the ring one on my left hand.... Yes, i went and got myself hitched! 

The wedding was an absolute amazing experience but one neither myself nor my wife would like to do again. Ever. Seriously, I understand why some people worship wedding planners - the stress is insane. 

So now that I am well and truly 'settled' I think it's time to get on and update this bloggy -
