Gruesome and brutal. And absolutely apropos for our times. A traumatizing citizen test that has lasting effects, which should freak us all out.
72. A Christmas Tartan by Paige Shelton
Scottish time travel with ghosts- sign me up!! Was this one? I'm not sure, but it definitely had ghosts! I love this world Paige Shelton has created and this short, little romp was a delight!!
73. The Poison Thread by Laura Purcell
This book was sold to me as a gothic supernatural thriller. While I really like it, I would not characterize it that way. It's definitely suspenseful and it's set in Victorian times, but supernatural? Nope. It's a bit gruesome in the beginning and my life is a mess at the moment which made it hard to take. I need sweet at the moment. So while this is fascinating, it also was hard for me to read.
74. The Loch Ness Papers by Paige Shelton
I really needed something delightful after The Poison Thread, and this was exactly what I needed! My favorite Scottish bookshop, the Loch Ness Monster, and a wedding! C'est magnifique!! 非常好!
75. The Black God's Drums by P. Djeli Clark
I've read a couple of P. Djeli Clark's works before and find his writing such an exciting read! I never know where he's going to take me, but it is always exciting. This story is set in an alternative New Orleans (well, really whole world but set in New Orleans) where it is a free state and the Civil War didn't end the way it did in real life. I don't want to say more because this is a novella, and you should check it out for yourself!
I've read 75 books so far and 52 were by woman, 20 by men, and 3 anthologies with both female and male authors- two of which were mostly female authors. My year of reading lots of women is still going strong!!!
