Summer is in full swing, an excellent time for reading, and today is Friday, which is always a great time for new book recommendations. As always, if there are any genres or books you’d like to see shared, reach out and let us know. We love to hear from other readers.
After reading four crime noirs in a row, I decided to switch it up and check out some fantasy with The Traitor Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickinson. I’m about 3/4ths of the way in, but it’s more historical fiction for a world that never existed than fantasy with a main character who works as an accountant. It’s Game of Thrones if it focused on Littlefinger, without the magic, ice zombies, and dragons. That is a strength, not a negative, as it is more thoughtful and strategic. I’ve not finished yet, and I’m aware that there are two sequels, but I’m enjoying it, even if it’s a bit heavy at 400 pages.
That’s all I have for this week, let’s get to the picks.
