The Blacktongue Thief - Christopher Buehlman

Longtime readers may remember me discovering this author many years ago, and raving about his book (now books). He got me reading horror again, although I haven't branched out into other modern horror authors yet (but I do have a read coming up, so stay tuned!). 

Well, now he's got me back to reading more fantasy type books with this latest release. As you might imagine from a master storyteller, it's a "ripping yarn" full of unforgettable characters and amazing action sequences - this would be a super cool movie. I think there are enough elements of horror to please his current fans as he branches out into fantasy, but if you love Lord of the Rings, for example, I think you would love this too. Highly recommended.

Searching for Sylvie Lee - Jean Kwok

This book is billed as a mystery but it's more of a family drama with mystery elements. I am not sure what to think of it - I figured out something early on, which I don't normally do, so that tells me it must have been super obvious - ? Lots of weird things happen and ... I don't know. I would love to hear what others thought of it.
