What I Read in April 2016

April 2016 Reads

Shadowed Threads (Rylee Adamson, #4) by Shannon Mayer
Lumberjanes Volume 3 by Noelle Stevenson
Replica (The Blood Borne, #2) by Shannon Mayer and Denise Grover Swank
Fire Touched (Mercy Thompson, #9) by Patricia Briggs
Murder of Crows (The Others, #2) by Anne Bishop
Written in Red (The Others, #1) by Anne Bishop
Night Broken (Mercy Thompson, #8) by Patricia Briggs
Storm Front (The Dresden Files, #1) by Jim Butcher
Some Girls Bite (Chicagoland Vampires, #1) by Chloe Neill

I’m excited to start reading the third The Others novel, but I’m holding off because Robert and I have been reading Written In Red (The Others, #1) outloud. I do so much rereading (and reading of books that aren’t out yet) that I’ve gotten behind on my goodreads challenge goals. I seem to be permanently about two books behind. *sigh*

What I Read in March 2016

Shallow Graves by Kali Wallace
The Glass Mermaid by Poppy Lawless
Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper (Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper, #1) by J.L. Bryan
Mermaid’s Den by Ella Malone
Beauty and the Fleet (Intergalactic Fairy Tales, #2) by Robert McKay

Defying Fate (Descent, #6) by S.M. Reine
Maggie for Hire (Maggie MacKay, Magical Tracker, #1) by Kate Danley
Frost Burned (Mercy Thompson, #7) by Patricia Briggs

I was so busy rereading with revisions in January and February–where I read 7 books total–that I didn’t give myself time to read. This month, I balanced time a little better and read 14 books in March, and it did not feel like enough. (It never feels like enough.)

A couple of these (Glass Houses and Frost Burned) are rereads. I was rereading Mercy Thompson at the end of 2015, and wanted to reread 7&8 before I dive into the brand new #9. I am always waiting for the new Mercy Thompson, it seems.

Don’t book covers look pretty when they’re all lined up? Books, books, books!

Wonderland is on Sale

Wonderland is on sale My beautiful husband, Mr. Robert McKay, has put Wonderland on sale! The next Intergalactic Fairy Tales novel (Beauty and the Fleet) is coming out in a few weeks, so this is the perfect time to snatch up Wonderland and uncover all the madness.

The sales ends on Thursday the 19th, so you’ll want to jump at it while you can!

As always, if you’re interested in either of our books, you’ll want to check out the McKay Manor newsletter, where you can get a novella in the Intergalactic Fairy Tales Series (Awakened) and Deadly Divas, #1.5 (Death & Fashion) FREE. The sign up for that is on McKayManor.com.

Now, to the pretty Wonderland details!

Teenage Alice didn’t mean to end up on Wonderland, but the living spaceship she commandeered had other plans, and he was very late.

Abandoned on an unfamiliar planet, Alice’s first day as a space pirate has fallen into madness. Caterpillars? Mad hatters? A Jabberwock? A queen known for chopping off heads? Alice must face all Wonderland can throw at her if she’s to take back possession of The White Rabbit and leave Wonderland in one piece.

Wonderland is an Alice in Wonderland fairy tale retelling full of action, adventure, and unlikely heroes. While the Intergalactic Fairy Tales take place in the same universe, and occasionally have overlapping characters, these books can be read and enjoyed in any order.
