I have been having another excellent couple of weeks for books, and I was lucky enough to receive several incredible and amazing new novels from local publishers and Netgalley. These novels include some truly awesome new releases, including books that have the potential to be some of my top reads of the year. I cannot wait to dive into them, and I look forward to seeing how they turn out.
Nero by Conn Iggulden
The first book I want to highlight in this book haul post was the epic historical fiction book, Nero by Conn Iggulden. Iggulden, who is one of the top authors of the genre, once again dives into Roman history with a book that looks at the early life of the infamous emperor Nero. I am deeply fascinated to see Iggulden’s take on this iconic figure and I have no doubt Nero is going to be one of the top historical fiction novels of 2024.
The No.1 Lawyer by James Patterson and Nancy Allen
A cool legal thriller from the team of James Patterson and Nancy Allen is a very welcome addition to my reading list and I am really looking forward to reading this. I love a great legal thriller, and The No.1 Lawyer sounds particularly fun as it forces a skilled defence attorney to win the biggest murder case of his life when he is accused of murdering his wife. I love the sound of this book and I have no doubt I am absolutely going to power through The No.1 Lawyer.
Think Twice by Harlan Coben
I only recently started reading acclaimed thriller author Harlan Coben, but I really enjoyed the first book of his I checked out, I Will Find You. His new novel, Think Twice, also sounds pretty damn epic as it forces a sports agent to investigate how his friend’s DNA was found at a recent murder, years after the friend’s funeral. I look forward to seeing how this intriguing thriller unfolds, and I know I’m going to love it.
The Instruments of Darkness by John Connolly
One author I have been meaning to get into for years is John Connelly, who is known for his clever and twisty thrillers. Well, it looks like I’m going to get the chance very soon as I just received a copy of The Instruments of Darkness, which sounds amazing. Set to follow a complex legal case of a mother accused of murdering her own child, The Instruments of Darkness sounds very intense, dark and intriguing, and I look forward to diving into it.
Mind Games by Nora Roberts
An intriguing thriller that showcases a dark connection between a young woman and the killer who murdered her parents. This should be an interesting novel and I look forward to reading my first Nora Roberts book.
Caesar’s General by Alex Gough
A great sounding addition to a Roman historical fiction series that follows the life of Mark Antony. Caesar’s General sounds particularly cool, as it covers the events that lead to Caesar crossing the Rubicon. I look forward to diving into Caesar’s General and I know I’m going to have fun with it.
Hill 112 by Adrian Goldsworthy
The final book I want to highlight in the book haul post is Hill 112 by Adrian Goldsworthy. An intense and powerful war novel that follows a particularly bloody battle of World War II, Hill 112 sounds fantastic, and I cannot wait to check it out.
Well, that’s the end of this latest Book Haul post. As you can see I have quite a bit of reading to do at the moment thanks to all these awesome books that have come in. Let me know which of the above you are most interested in and make sure to check back in a few weeks to see my reviews of them.
The Unseen Library 
I really need to check out Iggulden. If Bernard Cornwell is raving about him he must be good. Hill 112 looks promising: I’ll have to take a look at it once it’s released! I’ve been binging on KU titles recently, no purchases for me….
