Netgalley
The Dressmaker by Kate Alcott - With the centenary of the sinking of the Titanic happening next year there are bound to be a number of books out about those events. This will likely be the first one I read.
The Folded World by Catherynne Valente - I didn't realise when I requested this that is was a second book in a series, and I haven't read the first!
The Duke is Mine by Eloisa James - The next book in Eloisa James' current series. I love the cover on this one and can't wait to see how this fairytale telling goes. I suspect based on the cover it is going to be The Princess and the Pea but we will see.
Trouble at the Wedding by Laura Lee Guhrke - I really enjoyed the first two books in this series so I had to request this as soon as I saw it1
The Winter Palace by Eva Stachniak - a new novel about the life of Catherine the Great? Of course I had to request it!
Obedience by Jacqueline Yallop - WWII and set in France was definitely enough to pique my interest in this book1
Rogue Pirates Bride by Shana Galen - I have read the first book in this trilogy, and I have the second here somewhere to read!
Hidden Summit by Robyn Carr - a new Virgin River book! Squeeeee!
Busted in Bollywood by Nicola Marsh - I helped launch the cover for this book a few weeks ago. Can't wait to get to read the book now!
The Bungalow by Sarah Jio - I have been wanting to read Sarah Jio's debut novel for the longest time. If that one sounds great, this one sounds even better!
Small Town Christmas anthology - There's a Lucky Harbor story in this anthology which was enough for me to want to read it.
Won
Demon Marked by Meljean Brook - I didn't even realise that Meljean was running a competition when I responded to a tweet from her!
Gift
Discord's Apple by Carrie Vaughn - an author I have been meaning to find out about for a while.
Song of Scarabeaus by Sara Creasy - an Aussie author. I have high hopes for this one.
Double Cross by Carolyn Crane - I have been reading this author's blog for many years now, back even before she decided on this author name.
Touched by an Angel by Gini Koch - I don't know too much about either this book or the next one, but I am generally happy to try new stuff.
The Broken Kingdom by N K Jemison
Bought
Lola's Secret by Monica McInerney - I loved The Alphabet Sisters. This book is about Lola who was the spirited grandmother in that book!
Dissertation on Roast Pig by Charles Lamb - another of the Penguin Great food series.
The Violets of March by Sarah Jio - I have been waiting for this book to hit the bookshelves here but there was still no sign of it, so I bought it instead.
Warrior by Zoe Archer - I am contemplating joining a romance themed book club. This is their next book.
30 Minute Meals by Jamie Oliver - hoping to get some recipes that both the little chef and I can cook!
Bring me home for Christmas by Robyn Carr - Another Virgin River book! Squeeeee!
For Review
Golden Earrings by Belinda Alexandra - I am a big fan of this author's books so I was very excited to read this one!
Things We Cherished by Pam Jennoff - an author I have been meaning to try for the longest time.
