book blogger hop

2024 Anticipated Reads

The Book Blogger Hop was originally created by Jennifer from Crazy-For-Books in March 2010 and ended on December 31, 2012. With Jennifer’s permission, Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer relaunched the meme on February 15, 2013. Check out the hop here!

Each week the hop will start on a Friday and end on Thursday. There will be a weekly prompt featuring a book related question. The hop’s purpose is to give bloggers a chance to follow other blogs, learn about new books, befriend other bloggers, and receive new followers to your own blog.

The Question of the week is: Do you anticipate any upcoming 2024 reads? If so, what are they?

I’m sure there are many many exciting books coming out in 2024 but I genuinely don’t know what they are. I also don’t even know where to look to find out! I know that Goodreads has an upcoming releases section but other than that? I got nothing

Part of me doesn’t want to know. I have enough of a TBR without getting excited about things that haven’t come out yet, y’know?

But then I do know that Andrea Penrose has TWO books out this year – The Diamond of London (a historical) is coming out later in January and the 8th Wrexford & Sloane is coming out in September (and that one I’m super excited about – I’ve almost finished Murder at the Merton Library, and having read all the books back to back over the last couple of months was feeling quite sad that I didn’t have another one).

I’m also really looking forward to my library reservation of Raynor Winn’s Landlines finally being ready. I’m first in the queue and it’s due back in 13 days!

And, of course, there’s lots of books on my TBR I’m looking forward to actually reading

Thanátou (The Blood Witch Saga Book 1)

Happy Publication Day to Natalie J Case whose latest book Thanátou (The Blood Witch Saga Book 1) is out today.

Thána Archer thinks she knows what her life is about. A mid-level manager at a manufacturing company, Thána is good at what she does. She doesn’t believe in magic, witches or ghosts, because those things just aren’t real.

One day, a strange man appears with a strange box and an even stranger story about a family Thána has never known. After him there are others seeking to kill her because she is Thanátou, a Blood Witch. Trying to stay one step ahead of the would-be-assassins, she has to race against time to find the mother who abandoned her all those years ago.

To get to safety, Thána will have to sacrifice her freedom. But can she come to terms with the truth about her past, and the magical powers she doesn’t yet understand?

Doesn’t it sound fantastic? I accidentally just bought it, breaking my ‘new new books, for the love of Zeus will you finish something already Cassie!’ rule because I can’t wait to read it!

Second hand books

I’m quite excited to start some of these – although my TBR is ridiculously large so I don’t know when I’m going to get to them LOL And I have in fact already started reading This Is Not A Book About Benedict Cumberbatch. It’s about the joy of loving something – anything – like your life depends on it. I’m about 1/3 of the way through and I am LOVING it!
