It’s my last What’s On My Plate post of the year! Can you believe it’s already December? It’s the last month to squeeze in some 2014 books before the 2015 releases come out, and I hope to do just that. Here are the books I’m planning to read, but of course, things may change once I get going:-)
Books for review:
J by Howard Jacobson. I received this book from Blogging for Books, but haven’t had time to read it. This month for sure!
Rewinder by Brett Battles. Brett gave me a copy of his latest a couple of months ago, and I’m going to finally read it. He’s one of the only indie authors I will read these days:-)
War Stories: New Military Science Fiction, edited by Jaym Gates and Andrew Liptak. From the good folks at Apex, science fiction short stories with a war/military twist.
Clara’s Daughter by Meike Ziervogel. I have a couple of Salt Publishing titles that I’m behind on, so I’m going to try to crank them all out this month.
Severance by Chris Bucholz. Here’s another Apex review book that sounds pretty good.
Golden Son (Red Rising Trilogy #2) by Pierce Brown. I requested an ARC of this book on a whim, not really expecting to get it. But I DID! You can bet this will be one of my December reads for sure, since the book comes out in early January.
Sausage Hall by Christina James. And yet another Salt title! Salt seems to mostly publish thriller/mysteries, which isn’t my normal book fare, but I’ve enjoyed each one I’ve read so far.
I will read this book or die trying:
Broken Monsters by Lauren Beukes. I keep reading rave reviews from both bloggers and authors alike, and I’m determined to read this before the clock strikes 2015!
Giveaways:
I skipped last month, and so this month I’ll be giving away a book that I reviewed in October and November. You’ll have more to choose from, and guess what? I’m going to select TWO WINNERS this time:-) Come back on the 15th when the giveaway starts!
No other events planned at the moment, I guess this is mostly a catch-up month for me. Let me know what your blogging/reading plans are for December!
I will probably read Golden Son at some point. I wasn’t as gaga as most were about book one, but I can’t resist a good hype machine.
Yes, that’s true. Who can resist that hype machine?;-)
Congrats on snagging Golden Sun. I may have to binge read both books in the series soon. Hope you love Broken Monsters! Happy December reading, Tammy 🙂

I just started reading Broken Monsters last night, and I love it! Good luck with Golden Son!
Golden Son is on my reading list as well! It finally went available on NetGalley, just in time for my twitchy requesting fingers!

Oh I saw that it finally went up! I guess enough people said they were interested. Yay!
haha Thanks for the reminder. I have a book from Blogging for Books I really have to get around to. It’s not J though, but I’m interested to see what you think of that one! And oooh… Broken Monsters. I definitely preferred Shining Girls more but that one was good as well. Enjoy your reads!
