Whatcha Reading? October 2024, Part One


Welcome back to Whatcha Reading! Here’s how we’re kicking off October:The woman in yellow coat jeans and boots sitting under the maple tree with a red book and cup of coffee or tea in fall city park on a warm day. Autumn golden leaves. Reading concept. Close up.

Elyse: I am reading The Black Hunger ( A | BN | K | AB ) which reminds me a lot of a Call of Cuthulu adventure. It’s set partially in India and Tibet during the early 1900s so TW: for colonialism.

The books is this bananas supernatural adventure that takes us from Tibet to the Orkney Islands to Ukraine, and there are death cults, hungry ghosts and cannibals. Also the end of the world might be happening.

Sarah: I am going to start the new Elizabeth Hoyt, No Ordinary Duchess, ( A | BN | K | AB ) and I am extremely excited. I also think this is a bad idea because I have a lot going on this week and no time for tiredness if I stay up too late reading.

Lara: I try to read my ARCs about a month before release date so I can write a review for the site. Sometimes though a book just grabs you and so I’m reading a January 2025 release! My Inconvenient Duke by Loretta Chase. She’s not an author I’ve read a lot of, but I’m really enjoying the two main characters and their interactions.

Claudia: I am currently closing a gap in terms of older romance, and picked up Uncommon Vows by Mary Jo Putney. ( A | BN | K | AB )

Shana: I’m reading Daughter of the Merciful Deep by Leslye Penelope. ( A | BN | K | AB ) I will freely admit I selected it because the cover is drop dead gorgeous. So for, the book is living up to the cover.

Susan: I’m finishing up The Perfect Crimes of Marian Hayes, and I’m kinda eh on the plot, but absolutely here for the vibes of “Man who will do violence (for justice) is hopelessly smitten with woman who is discovering that she is ALSO willing to commit violence (for justice).”

Sarah: The vibes of ‘my felony chaos matches your felony chaos?!’ are VERY fun

Carrie: In keeping with my habit of being late to every party, I’m finally reading The Secret History by Donna Tartt. ( A | BN | K | AB )

I have doubts about my ability to finish it as I’m less than fifty pages in and already loathing all the characters.
