James surprised the heck out of me with his books choices this time because only one was on my wishlist which was Virginia Woolf’s Writer’s Diary. The rest were:
J.K. Rowling’s The Ickabog which has some colorful illustrations through out:
“The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustaches you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them.
Everything was perfect – except for the misty Marshlands to the north which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth, to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.
Could a myth unseat a beloved king? Could a myth bring a once happy country to its knees? Could a myth thrust two children into an adventure they didn’t ask for and never expected?
If you’re feeling brave, step into the pages of this book to find out…”
Richard Mathson’s What Dreams May Come with is Sci Fi/horror –
“What happens to us after we die? Chris Nielsen had no idea, until an unexpected accident cut his life short, separating him from his beloved wife, Annie. Now Chris must discover the true nature of life after death.
But even Heaven is not complete without Annie, and when tragedy threatens to divide them forever, Chris risks his very soul to save Annie from an eternity of despair.”
And book 1 in a Clint Wolf mystery series by B.J. Bourg – But Not Forgotten:
“When a local businessman’s arm is found in the jowls of a large alligator, Clint Wolf and Susan Wilson investigate to find out how it got there. They quickly discover that the man was murdered, but thanks to a secret force working against them, solving the case will be no easy task.
A new dog comes into Clint’s life, and not only does it bring him hope after having lost his wife and daughter two years earlier, but it proves to be quite the guard dog when a dangerous stranger comes sneaking around.
As Clint and Susan dig deeper into their case, the body count begins to rise, and they soon realize that no one is safe…not even the law. Will evil prevail, or will Clint and Susan get justice for their victims? Read this chilling mystery to find out.”
Woot Woot!
