Fiction Book Titles I'm Really Excited About Reading


There's nothing quite like taking an extended break from a hobby you like, and then going back to it later. It's a sort of homecoming, and it makes you really appreciate the hobby all over again. My break from reading was necessary, my brain had other things to work through, but coming back to the world of reading and jumping right back into it has been amazing! 

I'll assemble another post about my newest books that I've read, but for this post I just wanted to talk about some upcoming books that I'm excited about. I'm not sure if/when I'll get to read them anytime soon, but I definitely will try to read them at some point in the future. 

So, without further ado, here are the books I'm looking forward to reading: 

1. Amari and the Great Game by B. B. Alston - This is the second installment in the Amari series. If you haven't read Amari and the Night Brothers yet, you should get on it. It's such a wonderful book, and I'm really looking forward to the second one. To be honest, I'm having trouble deciding whether to jump into the second book, or re-read the first one because it was just so enjoyable. 

2. Wundersmith: The Calling of Morrigan Crow by Jessica Townsend - Again, the is the second installment in the series about Morrigan Crow. If this is the first time you're hearing of the series, just know that if Harry Potter is your style, you'll probably enjoy this series. You'll want to start with the first book, Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow. You'll be plunged into a unique and zany world with delightful characters. 

3. The Sunbearer Trials by Aiden Thomas - This will be the first book I've ever read from Aiden Thomas, so I have no idea what to expect. The premise seems a bit dark, but I love mythology and stories with their own pantheons. It'll be interesting to see how the story is written, and I'm looking forward to discovering a new author to add to my ever-growing "favorite authors" list. 

4. Soul of the Deep by Natasha Bowen - The sequel to book one, Skin of the Sea, is estimated to hit shelves this September 27, 2022. It's available for pre-order right now if you click the Soul of the Deep title. It'll take you the Barnes and Noble page where you can pre-order it. Keep in mind that sometimes things happen which cause release dates to be pushed further out, but I know I'd rather have people take the amount of time they need than try to rush something to shelves that may be beneath their standards. I'm happy to wait, a good book is always worth the wait. I wrote a little bit about Skin of the Sea in a past blog post: "Recent Fiction Finds". You can check it out by clicking that link if you want more details on the first book of the series. 

Are there any upcoming titles you're looking forward to reading? Let me know in the comments if you feel like sharing that excitement about some new fiction/sci-fi/fantasy titles. Any genre is also fine to let me know about, but since this is a fiction blog, just make sure to let us know if it doesn't fall into those categories in case others also want to check out the title. I just want everyone to know the proper expectations to have when they're picking up a new book. 

Anywho, hope you have a great rest of the week, it's almost Friday!

Why Fiction Is Important

Image
  I love fiction, obviously, which is why I started this blog. I have to say, it pains me when I see attitudes practically condemning fiction as "entertainment", as if entertainment itself is a thing to scoff at and ridicule. It's even more telling that the same people who scoff at the mention of entertainment are also often people who themselves partake in entertainment. Everyone does. Some people read, watch TV, ride horses, have pets, or work on hobbies. What they're really saying is that only certain types of entertainment are acceptable: Non-fiction reading, golf, or other similar hobbies.  This kind of attitude is detrimental. There are plenty of people who don't really enjoy fiction that much, which is fine. To each their own, but judging an entire genre as inconsequential drivel is a little much. In my opinion, we all have things we can learn and gain from reading fiction, so I'm going to share a few reasons why I believe fiction is important.  1.  Fi...

Two More Books to Review for Fiction Lovers

Image
 I've managed to finish another couple of new books (and re-read a few others), so I'll give a generic opinion about the two I finished reading recently. I'm sleep-deprived at the moment, so I'm just going to jump right into the post. What was the last book you read, and what did you think of it?  The Color of Magic , by Terry Pratchett     If you have read Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy , and enjoyed it, then this book may be perfect for you. The tone is satirical and overly-dramatic in appropriate space opera fashion. This book was originally published in the 80's apparently, so there are some sexist attitudes about women, but it seems as if it's meant to poke fun of people who don't think women are capable. It's not prevalent in the book, just a few bold over-the-top statements that I believe are meant to point out how stupid those stereotypes sound.  Overall, it's a very interesting book. It's a playful tone, whic...

Everything Fiction, Fantasy, And Sci-Fi

I have too many blogs. So what does a person do when they have too many? They obviously start another one. I swear, blogs are like tattoos: once you get one, you want a whole bunch more. I have a few encouragement, and writing-based blogs because that is the main journey that I'm currently undertaking. I'm trying to get published, and hone my writing skills. The only down-side is that those blogs are dedicated to a somewhat different flavor of topic that I don't want to derail with talk of things that are more specific.  My writing and reading passion, is fiction. I love facts and there's nothing wrong with a great non-fiction book. Some biographies and auto-biographies are great, and I can enjoy them but they don't fill my soul the way fiction does. I'm hoping to try this blog out as a way to nerd out about everything to do with fiction, fantasy, sci-fi and the concept of storytelling in general. There may be other genres I chat about from time to time but fant...
