I’ve completed another one of my SPFBO books: Devil’s Night Dawning – which leaves me three now left to read.
My cover compare this month: Ravencry by Ed McDonald:
It’s difficult to choose between these because I like them both. I’m going to call this one equal.
Let me know what plans you have for your reading and blogging and feel free to share a link if you like.
Ghosts of Tomorrow looks really good! And congrats on making it through so many books this month!
I love that cover for Ghosts of Tomorrow – it makes me want to throw everything aside and dive in.

I read around 50 pages of Rotherweird, but stopped for various reasons. I didn’t know there was a sequel to it!
Well, I must admit that when I picked up Rotherweird I thought it was going to be a standalone – the ending taught me differently. It’s a quirky book and probably not for everyone tbh but I did enjoy it.

Welp, another month down! May’s like, if you thought April was busy, you ain’t seen nothing yet! 😀
I don’t know what’s happened to May – it’s exploded in the most ridiculous fashion. June and July look nice and calm, but given enough time I’m sure I can turn them into catastrophes too. I think I will never catch up.

Lynn, I finished three books in April and I am carrying on three more into May, so plenty going on. I also got a review copy of The Testament of Loki by Joanne M Harris, which I am excited about. 🙂 Happy reading in May!
I’m really looking forward to the Joanne Harris book – I love her work.

You did well through April, given that you weren’t well during a fair chunk of it. I’ve also got The Wisdom of Sally Red Shoes and I’m looking forward to reading it. And as for your cover reveal – they are both stunning – but the one of the left has just blown me away. I think it’s my favourite cover of the year, so far… Have a great May, Lynn:)
I’ve read Sally Red Shoes. It’s good, I probably didn’t enjoy it quite as much as her last one but I think that’s because the first had a touch of magical realism. I’d say this one is more a look at grief in it’s different guises and how loss affects a wide circle of people.
Lynn 😀
It’s next on my list… I’m looking forward to tucking into it – I’ve had a fantastic run of books, recently:)
I hope you enjoy it.
