Book Haul

Listen, some amazing people set up a book fair for local authors to showcase their books, and I was more than happy to hang their posters in the window of work. Mostly so I had a daily reminder of why I needed the afternoon off on Saturday. Which I was a lucky duck and managed. So of course I went to the book fair. It was a book fair, a large room filled with authors selling their books right before the holidays. I went to support them and discover new things to read. Because it's already getting too wet, too cold, and too dark to do things after 5 pm. I had plans to see a movie after work, spent maybe ten minutes driving home to change, and decided that was enough outside time. Curled up and read instead. So, I needed new books!

All of these are brand new authors for me, and two of these are a little out of my comfort zone, they're plays. However, those plays are re-tellings, reimagining, of two of my favorite classics. So I really have high hopes for both of those two. I'm super excited for The Haunting Between Us because just a few days before the fair this one popped up on NetGalley and almost requested, then didn't because I'm getting ready to travel. I'm so glad I talked myself out of it because I was able to Paul Winters, the author, and buy a copy. It doesn't officially release until January, so this is a top-of-the-pile read. 

I'm also really excited about the Dark Lord's Last Call. I work full-time in a kitchen, and I love cooking, and food, so a cozy fantasy set in a tavern with an onion-hating sous chef. Now that has my full attention. 

This was a great event with so many local authors. I popped in maybe an hour after the doors opened and there were enough people there that I wasn't able to check out all the booths. The space was perfect for the number of authors they had, and everything was easy to get to. I really hope they can do this again next year. Because I would definitely attend again!

HAPPY READING!!
