Blog Tour Review - Perception Check by Astrid Knight

 Blog Tour Review - Perception Check by Astrid Knight Her favorite tabletop roleplaying game is real, and her kidnapped childhood best friend is trapped in a far off land. Will she be able to save her? Let's roll initiative! Violet Spence wants nothing more than to have a normal life. After witnessing her childhood best friend get abducted by monsters, that’s easier said than done. At twenty-three years old, Violet cannot seem to move past that fateful night ten years ago. Her only solace is Mages of Velmyra, a tabletop roleplaying game filled with goblins, fairies, and all-powerful magicians. But of course, that’s all fantasy. Or, so she thought. As it turns out, the land of Velmyra is very real and the home of the monsters that took her best friend.

Six for Sunday - most anticipated books of 2018

Hiya.

Today's Six for Sunday is my most anticipated books of 2018.

I did have this worked out a few weeks ago, when I first saw the topic. Two of my most anticipated books were due for release on 4th January. But as it happens, Waterstones got both Sky Song and The Fandom in early, and I now have both the ARC and final release books for both these wonderful titles. Expect reviews soon!

So, with them excluded, here are my six most anticipated releases for next year:

  1. The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert. I love fairy tales and wonderland, and I am very excited about this book.
  2. How Do You Like Me Now by Holly Bourne. Honestly I still haven't read the copy of It Only Happens in the Movies I bought at the launch event, but I'm already excited for Holly's adult debut.
  3. Winds of Winter by George R R Martin. My most anticipated book of the last four years! This one still doesn't have a publication date, but I'm hoping it'll be out sometime in 2018. As soon as it has a date I'll be excitedly counting down the days. 
  4. Fire and Blood vol 1. by George R R Martin. I've read a couple of GRRM's 'history' of Westeros short stories in the anthologies Dangerous Women and Rogues, and really enjoyed them. He's planning a two volume collection of these with further stories fleshing out the history behind the Game of Thrones world, and has suggested that volume one might be out in 2018. Could we really get two GRRM books next year? Or will there be none, yet again?
  5. Song of Sorrow by Melinda Salisbury. I have issues with The Sleeping Prince, but I absolutely loved both The Sin Eater's Daughter and The Scarecrow Queen, so I've got high hopes for this new novel.
  6. Spark by Alice Broadway. Ink was one of my favourite books of the year, with a unique set up that really drew me into its world. This is the second volume of a planned sequel and I can't wait to see where Alice goes with the story.
Thanks again to Steph for coming up with these. I'm looking forward to seeing what she's got planned for next year. Check out her blog at https://alittlebutalot.wordpress.com/
