Hello everyone and happy Monday to you all! I’m back with another book haul. These three lovely little paperbacks were crying out to be preordered. Honestly they were! 😉😜 These Violent Delights was recommended by my lovely bestie Janel over at @keeperofpages and I managed to pick up the @waterstones exclusive edition with hot sprayed edges which makes me a very happy Beth indeed. This is an imaginative Romeo and Juliet retelling in 1920’s Shanghai with rival gangs and a monster in the depths of the Huangpu river. Yes. I’m sold!! I’m a huge fan of Karin Slaughter and can’t resist when another of her novels comes out in paperback even though I’ve got quite a few to catch up on 🙈 This looks to me one of her stand alone novels and tells the tale of Leigh Collier, a woman who works as a defence attorney but who has also had a traumatic childhood. She is asked to defend a man on multiple counts of rape but then realises she knows him and he has asked for her deliberately. He knows what happened twenty years ago and suddenly she has much more to lose than just this case. Finally we have Cold Boy’s Wood. I absolutely loved Carol Birch’s novel Jamrach’s Menagerie and am hoping to get to more of her backlist. It promises to fuse the ghost story with sharp psychological insight and is an arresting, timely novel about loneliness, buried secrets and the havoc they play on the mind. I’d love to know your thoughts on any of these books or authors. Let’s have a chat in the comments. Have a lovely week everyone 🤗😘 #bookstagram #bookstagramuk #bookstagrammer #bookhoarder #bookhaul #paperbackhaul #moreforthecollection #morebooksplease📚 #theseviolentdelights #romeoandjulietretelling #chloegong #falsewitness #karinslaughter #coldboyswood #carolbirch #tbrkeepsgrowing #ijustkeephauling #booksbooksbooks #booklover https://www.instagram.com/p/CZZ7RTELpO_/?utm_medium=tumblr
