I had a pretty good book haul in the last week, not only getting some of the top books of 2019, but also a couple of intriguing Australian reads that will be interesting to check out.

Sixteen Ways to Defend a Walled City by K. J. Parker

Already about halfway through this book, it’s pretty amazing.

Aurora Rising by Amie Kaufman and the Jay Kristoff

Looking forward to this one, it is getting a lot of buzz and could potentially by the young adult novel of the year.

Daughter of Bad Times by Rohan Wilson

The Castori Intervention by Margaret Cawsey

Not too sure about this one, but should be interesting to check out.

The Last Second by Catherine Coulter and J. T. Ellison

This sounds like a fun thriller and I am looking forward to reading it.  I really enjoyed the latest book in Coulter’s connected series, Paradox.

The Red Scrolls of Magic by Cassandra Clare and Wesley Chu

I have never really gotten into the Shadowhunter books before, so this should be an interesting part of the series to come into.
