Oh, I have been meaning to read the next Dacians/Immortals After Dark book Shadow's Seduction which is LGBT... so yay!
I should be able to find a book for any genre we get, abut I’m still intrigued to see what it will be. However better get on with my books from this week!
I tend to binge watch movies on the long haul flights, I find reading on the plane difficult for some reason.We have a flight to Europe coming up next year with our 3 year old, which I’m not looking forward to. We’ve planned an 18 hour stopover in Singapore to break the flight up better for him. Thankfully Singapore has fabulous transit hotels in the airport where you don’t need to pass through customs. We’ll take him to the hotel pool and I believe the airport has a cinema as well. Fingers crossed it will make the flight a bit easier to manage for our son with the big layover
I’d be up for a back room BOM for sure :)
Finally had a chance to sit down and check out my bookshelf so my second book will be Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter by Tom Franklin for an F.

I ha..."
Ooh, this sounds like my cup of tea, I might have to give it a try.
I’m going to start with The Woman in the Window which covers off on another F and is tagged suspense.
Beartown by Fredrik BackmanPeople say Beartown is finished. A tiny community nestled deep in the forest, it is slowly losing ground to the ever encroaching trees. But down by the lake stands an old ice rink, built generations ago by the working men who founded this town. And in that ice rink is the reason people in Beartown believe tomorrow will be better than today. Their junior ice hockey team is about to compete in the national semi-finals, and they actually have a shot at winning. All the hopes and dreams of this place now rest on the shoulders of a handful of teenage boys.
Being responsible for the hopes of an entire town is a heavy burden, and the semi-final match is the catalyst for a violent act that will leave a young girl traumatized and a town in turmoil. Accusations are made and, like ripples on a pond, they travel through all of Beartown, leaving no resident unaffected.
Beartown explores the hopes that bring a small community together, the secrets that tear it apart, and the courage it takes for an individual to go against the grain. In this story of a small forest town, Fredrik Backman has found the entire world.

The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton"Gosford Park" meets "Groundhog..."
Oops, sorry. I’ll nominate another
Hello Team!My shelf for the challenge is wheelathon-2019
So probably my hardest genre to fulfill will be New Adult and possibly Shifters. The only shifters books I really like are from the Immortals After Dark Series and I’ve only just read-read them. In saying that, there are few genres I couldn’t find something I’d be happy to read, so I’m sure I could rustle up something in those two genres.
I don’t mind memoirs and have Stephen King’s On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft waiting to be read on my bookshelf and I love a good space opera or horror book.
The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton"Gosford Park" meets "Groundhog Day" by way of Agatha Christie – the most inventive story you'll read this year.
Tonight, Evelyn Hardcastle will be killed... again.
It is meant to be a celebration but it ends in tragedy. As fireworks explode overhead, Evelyn Hardcastle, the young and beautiful daughter of the house, is killed.
But Evelyn will not die just once. Until Aiden – one of the guests summoned to Blackheath for the party – can solve her murder, the day will repeat itself, over and over again. Every time ending with the fateful pistol shot.
The only way to break this cycle is to identify the killer. But each time the day begins again, Aiden wakes in the body of a different guest. And someone is determined to prevent him ever escaping Blackheath...
Nyxia by Scott ReintgenEmmett Atwater isn’t just leaving Detroit; he’s leaving Earth. Why the Babel Corporation recruited him is a mystery, but the number of zeroes on their contract has him boarding their lightship and hoping to return to Earth with enough money to take care of his family.
Forever.
Before long, Emmett discovers that he is one of ten recruits, all of whom have troubled pasts and are a long way from home. Now each recruit must earn the right to travel down to the planet of Eden—a planet that Babel has kept hidden—where they will mine a substance called Nyxia that has quietly become the most valuable material in the universe.
But Babel’s ship is full of secrets. And Emmett will face the ultimate choice: win the fortune at any cost, or find a way to fight that won’t forever compromise what it means to be human.
