Worth Waiting For

The list of books I’m waiting for keeps growing! Some I order from bookstores, and some I requested from the library.

Among the things I’ve ordered: The Faraway Inn and The Enchanted Greenhouse by Sarah Beth Durst. Apparently I ordered a copy of The Enchanted Greenhouse and also requested it from the library. The library got to me first, but that’s OK. I’ll gladly read it again.

Platform Decay by Martha Wells (latest in her Murderbot Diaries series). Apparently Murderbot will be in charge of something really terrifying — kids! As a school worker, this might strike too close but we’ll see.

The Dragon Has Some Complaints by John Wiswell. I don’t even remember what this one is about but the title just sounds amusing.

Things I’ve requested from the library: Rebecca Solnit’s latest, The Beginning Comes After the End. She’s a bit of a dense read, but the social comment is always enlightening.

The Summer War by Naomi Novik. Someone accidentally cast a curse and tries to reverse it. (The library just told me this one is in, so hooray!)

Agnes Aubert’s Mystical Cat Shelter by Heather Fawcett. Cats and wizards, who could resist? Not many people, it seems, because the wait list is 8 weeks.

Then there are a couple of books I ordered, that have just come in: The Mermaid’s Apprentice and The Tailor’s Escape by L. Palmer. I’ve been following her Pippington series of fairy tale styled fantasies and look forward to this next addition.

Looks like I have some great reads ahead of me. If it was your choice, which of these would you go for first?


Have you read one of my books? Then it would be great for you to leave a review! Meanwhile, if you’d like to learn more about me and my work, check out my blog, Wyrmflight, or follow me on Bluesky.
