Friday Reads 2.21.25
Hello, friends. Happy Friday to you!
It’s another travel day for me. The latest family emergency is mostly under control, so I’m heading home this evening, hopefully into a calm, zen like weekend of reading. I’m on the last stages of LAST SEEN, which gets one more look-see from me before it goes to it’s final step, and I’m very excited to call this one a wrap and get it into your hands! Several rather astounding blurbs have come in, and the cover is finished. It’s starting to feel real.
The moment I wrap #LS, I’ve got a stack of books waiting. I will not confirm or deny that I may have a few days off in my immediate future, which calls for some exciting titles. There’s really nothing better than turning in a book and then clearing your head with a few great reads before jumping back into work.
Here’s what’s on the list for the next week:
Mark Greaney’s Gray Man #14 - MIDNIGHT BLACK
I am such a huge fan of Mark’s work, and this series is so special and exciting. My dad’s a huge fan, too! If you like spy thrillers and adventure stories, this series is for you.
Alice Feeny - BEAUTIFUL UGLY
I read a sample chapter of this one and immediately downloaded the rest. Cool concept and a fun Scottish setting.
Frieda McFadden - THE CRASH
Same as above. I think this one has some great tension and I’m excited to dive in.
Julia Bartz - THE LAST SESSION
I scored this off Netgalley and I am super excited to read. I love a good psychology story, they are among my favorites. I’m hoping this has a THE SILENT PATIENT bent to it.
Hey, speaking of Netgalley… I made a last minute decision to make the final Jayne Thorne book available for early looks. If you are at all interested in reading with an eye toward leaving a review, you can check it out here. Remember, this is the last book in the series, so if you haven’t read the others, this has some serious spoilers.
In the fantasy vein, I grabbed THE BRIDGE KINGDOM, by a new to me author, Danielle L. Jensen. Excited to read.
For the writers out there… I managed to get another interim step in the series up, this time, about asking for blurbs. I am also in love with the picture I chose for this one. It’s just so Spring-y! And I’m updating this post with the blurbs I’ve gotten for LAST SEEN! 🤩
That’s it from me! What are you up to this weekend? Any good book recommendations?
