Tome Thursday: The Last Gospel

 
Hello everyone!
 
Returning to my beloved Jack Howard series tonight.
 
And when I say beloved, I mean it.
 
I think I read the first six books front to back countless times, loving every single adventure Jack and Kostas ended up in. When I finally got the chance to own the books outright, I LEAPED.
 
I didn't even double check the landing.
 
I just did.
 
Now my mission is to gather them all here on the blog for your reading pleasure, because I understand some might not have the time for the books in full, some might not know about them, and some need reminders before going into the next one.
 
That's okay, I gotchu!
 
We won't stall anymore at all, but dive straight down into the depths of this mystery that's about to unfold before us: The Last Gospel.

Tome Thursday: Dreams Never Seen

 
Hello everyone!
 
Back to our post-apocalyptic world we go.
 
I mean, it's about time, isn't it?
 
I keep picking up books and reading through them and whatnot, but I also always circle back to the ones that stick to the top of my favourites list.
 
Sarah Westill and her books are certainly on there! I'm still very much eagerly awaiting the release of her newest book, beginning another series, but in the meantime I'm working through where it all began.
 
Mom and dad still have plenty of adventures to share, after all!
 
So for tonight, we're ditching the slowly-turning-colder Northern hemisphere, although of course in Sziveria it's even more brutal than here with us.
 
We're headed someplace warmer, and much more exotic.
 
Let's see where and why in Dreams Never Seen!

Tome Thursday: Possession Under the Southern Stars

 
Hello everyone!
 
Welcome to another book choice of the week.
 
This time, we're returning to my favourite contemporary romance author.
 
Honestly, you probably all know this by now, as I say it enough, but Serenity Woods is just something else entirely.
 
Having found her quite at random years and years ago through her Three Wise Men series, I've since gobbled up practically every single book she's ever written, and I have no plans on stopping any time soon!
 
As far as I'm concerned, as long as she keeps writing, I'll keep reading.
 
Tonight's choice is the conclusion to her museum-slash-archaeology trilogy taking place in the beautiful New Zealand, and I honestly couldn't have come up with a more fitting ending to the story myself.
 
Not that I reach even her ankles when it comes to storytelling.
 
But enough about me and my dawdling over here. Let's jump right in and see what awaits us in Possession Under the Southern Stars!

Tome Thursday: Crusader Gold

 
Hello everyone!
 
Welcome back.
 
Tonight's blog post is a bit of a return to my roots, in a sense, because this particular book series was what got me "re-hooked" or, hooked again, on REALLY reading, seriously and furiously.
 
I can still remember randomly picking up the first one at a store, thinking it was going to be some la-la land thing, and ending up devouring it because of how vividly and realistically it was written.
 
Then I hunted down the rest of the then-translated books (I think the first five or six were translated into my language) in my local library and gobbled those, too.
 
After finding out that the author had written more, I got them for my e-reader in English, and am now pretty much almost caught up with the series, but I figured, before I dive into the last few, I'd start it all from the beginning. And every first step is always followed by a second one, so here we are with that tonight!
 
Jack Howard dives again, and honestly? David Gibbins knows what he's doing with these.
 
Crusader Gold is up next.

Tome Thursday: Seduction Under the Southern Stars

 
Hello everyone!
 
And for once, welcome to a post in which we are NOT going to India.
 
I suppose you're all thankful in some aspects LOL, or maybe you'll be back and can't wait for more Bollywood.
 
Either way, tonight's choice is something else entirely.
 
Aka, it's by my favourite contemporary romance author of all times.
 
I'm not just saying that either - I've pretty much read ALL her books at this point (except, I believe, her Brides series, because I think that one was released solely on KU, which I sadly don't have), and I plan on reading the rest as she keeps publishing them.
 
Some authors are just worth sticking with!
 
Serenity Woods is definitely one of them, and her newest series has just launched - well, her newest trilogy I should say.
 
And it all begins with Seduction Under the Southern Stars.

Tome Thursday: Atlantis

 
Hello everyone!
 
I'm finally getting back into the swing of things with these blog posts and decided to pick a really, really good book for the first returning book blog after my summer vacation.
 
If you've been paying attention to this blog, you'll know I've definitely included works by this author in th past.
 
However, I've never ACTUALLY sat down and focused solely on the series he has going with his characters, which by now spans ten full books (and I have yet to read the last one, because for some reason I haven't gotten to it yet).
 
Anyway, I stumbled on said author rather randomly, I will admit, but since then have become a massive fan and I need to get physical copies of his books eventually.
 
For the time being, suffice to say that this is going to be a really good starting point for the rest of them, including the two I'd already done in the past.
 
Because it's all about history - I'm into history these days - and potentially alternative history too.
 
Brace yourselves, everyone. Atlantis is calling!

Tome Thursday: Pharaoh


Hello everyone!

Back with my second blog of the week, this one about a book, and it wasn't really a difficult choice to pick considering it was the first one I grabbed during my vacation. The main reason behind this being that I wanted to read book number eight, but I had sort of forgotten what happens in book seven ... yes, it happens to me too, folks!

Especially since I took roughly forty new e-books with me, luckily only in electronic format or else I think my dad would have deposited me, books included, on the curb and drove on without us.

The book happens to be Pharaoh, written by David Gibbins, and as I've said it's book number seven in a series centering around an underwater archaeologist and his team, who do a lot of globe-hopping, history-discovering and general all-around interesting things.

Well, at least *I* find them interesting!
