If you want to take part, basically, every Wednesday, we highlight a book that we’re really looking forward to. This week my book is: Termina Station by Nick Martell. The description sounds amazing:
Joe Hill’s NOS4A2 meets Ray Bradbury’s Something Wicked This Way Comes in this captivating novel about a father trapped in Knowhere, a deadly border town between life and death, run by the sinister Mister Teeth.
When Roger falls asleep on the train after a long day at work, he’s shocked to learn he isn’t stuck at the end of the line. Instead, he emerges from the last stop to step out into the rainy gloom…in a place he’s never heard Knowhere, where monsters roam at night and the only way home is to travel through each of the five ringdoms to the very center. It is only there, at Termina Station, that he can take a train out of Knowhere and return to his wife and children.
But each ringdom has its own twisted logic, and the ticketmaster, Mister Teeth, isn’t keen on letting Roger out of Knowhere. With Mister Teeth’s son in tow, Roger hopes he has what it takes to puzzle his way out of each ringdom and face his demons in the process. But Mister Teeth is a powerful enemy, and he’ll do anything to stop his son from boarding the train at Termina Station.

I can’t wait for this – literally, I’m so excited I could explode. Today is best day ever! Another Sourdough Universe book. That is all. Well, the description and cover are below, obviously:
From the multi-award-winning author of The Briar Book of the Dead, comes an enthralling gothic fairy tale of witches, lady knights, twisted conspiracies and a coveted enchanted throne.
Set in Slatter’s much-loved Sourdough universe, this dark magical fantasy is perfect for fans of The Everlasting by Alix E. Harrow and Nettle & Bone by T. Kingfisher.
Her Grace, the True Princess Emlyn Mentoras, has come home after twenty years. The sole survivor of the slaughtered royal family of Five Ports, her life’s been dedicated to winning back her kingdom from the vicious Woodcutter Kings. Overseen by the Beldame Lanike she’s learned the ways of sword and shield, to rule and also – perhaps surprisingly – to show mercy. Emlyn wants the city to live again, for her people to prosper and, most of all, to follow in the footsteps of her idol, St Callwen, Five Ports’ founder.
But Emlyn’s got a secret that will blow her hard-won existence apart… When the horrors of her past catch up with her, she finds herself on a journey into the underworld with a loyal knight by her side seeking an elusive crown. A deadly quest that will test all her skill and courage and reveal a betrayal at the heart of the kingdom.
A deeply engrossing, richly told dark fantasy of a blighted monarchy, a stolen destiny and a young woman’s difficult search for her own path.

Check out the description and cover (which I love btw) below:
In the small mountain town of Amorea, it’s stretching toward autumn of 1954. The memories of a world at war are fading in the face of a prosperous future. Doors are left unlocked at night, and neighbors are always there to give each other a helping hand.
The people here know certain things as fact:
Amorea is the best little town there is.
The only good Commie is a dead Commie.
The Women’s Club of Amorea runs the town with an immaculately gloved fist.
And bookstore owner Mike Frazier loves that boy down at the diner, Sean Mellgard. Why they haven’t gotten their acts together is anybody’s guess. It may be the world’s longest courtship, but no one can deny the way they look at each other.
Slow and steady wins the race, or so they say.
But something’s wrong with Mike. He hears voices in his house late at night. There are shadows crawling along the walls, and great clouds of birds overhead that only he can see.
Something’s happening in Amorea. And Mike will do whatever he can to keep the man he loves.

This week my book is: Rosemary and Thyme by Olivia Atwater, (Victorian Faerie Tales #2). This sounds so good and I really enjoyed the first book in the series, the Witchwood Knot. Here’s the description and cover:
Olivia Atwater offers up another gothic fantasy romance, full of dark magic and deceitful faeries, in the second instalment of the Victorian Faerie Tales.
An ancient evil has awoken in Victorian England, and it knows Clarimonde Betony’s name.
London is no longer safe for Clarimonde Betony. Branded as a black magician, cut off from her staid and sensible life, and hounded by a mysterious pursuer, Clarimonde has little choice but to make common cause with her foppish, self-appointed faerie adviser, Lord Foxglove—a beautiful coward with absolutely no affection for the truth.
Clarimonde’s last, best hope is a weapon that lies in Whitby, under the watch of a lovely, bloodthirsty lady known as the Leanansidhe. Foxglove’s keen talent for duplicity could gain them both hospitality beneath the monster’s roof… but the Leanansidhe’s temptations are endless, and her unearthly beauty hides a cruelty beyond mortal understanding. One wrong word might lead to a fate much worse than death… and Clarimonde always has been far too honest for her own good.
