5 Reasons to Pick Up a Rebecca Ross Novel
We have enjoyed reading Divine Rivals and now Ruthless Vows with our community. The way Rebecca Ross writes her characters with such vulnerability and care is unmatched. She finds so much beauty in the simplest things and she helps readers gain a new appreciation for the life they have. Ross wants to connect readers to her stories by showing how beautiful humanity can be even in the darkest times.
Here are the five reasons why you should pick up a Rebecca Ross duology!
5 Reasons To Pick Up A Brandon Sanderson Book
Maude Garrett has always been a fan of Brandon Sanderson and we have even covered the Mistborn series for Book Club! There’s something so special about Sanderson’s novels. He brings such charm and wit to his characters.
It’s impossible for any reader not to fall in love with their story. He constructs detailed adventures that help his protagonist become a fully formed person. His characters are fully formed, whether they’re searching for a new perspective or fulfilling their dreams.
Convincing You to Read Books by Andy Weir
From The Martian to Project Hail Mary, Maude and the MBC community have loved his humour and how he depicts space. Within the sci-fi genre, the themes of loneliness and survival are very prominent. Weir explores how his lead characters navigate these obstacles in the wide unknown.
Convincing You to Read ‘Dune’ By Frank Herbert
Frank Herbert’s Dune series is extensive, and it’s a difficult series to get into. Most people read Dune and Dune Messiah because it works as a duology. But, if you want to know more about the characters and the world, Herbert covered all his bases.
Convincing You to Read Books by Martha Wells
If you have Goodreads and follow Maude Garrett, Amanda Tass, or Amanda Guarragi (me), you know that we have been diving into books by Martha Wells. And if you don’t follow us on there, come on over! Maude has been obsessed with The Murderbot Diaries ever since she read them with the MBC crew.
Amanda Tass has read All Systems Red and gave it FIVE STARS. While we’ve been gearing up to read Network Effect for our BONUS BOOK in February, I have listened to all the audiobooks and have started Network Effect!
It’s hard not to love our favourite SecUnit, but Martha Wells has other series in her bookography that have new worlds to discover.
Convincing You to Read Books by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
If you have Goodreads and follow Maude Garrett, Amanda Tass, or Amanda Guarragi (me), you know Maude chose Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia for Book Chat last year!
This year, I decided to dive into Mexican Gothic, which blew me away and is one of the best books I’ve read this year. And next on the list is Silver Nitrate, which people have been raving about. Silvia Moreno-Garcia crosses genres and gives such depth to her female characters, which is one of the main reasons I enjoyed her writing.
Have you read any books by Silvia Moreno-Garcia? Well, if you haven’t this is why we think you should!
Convincing You to Read Books by Leigh Bardugo
You know that Maude has been obsessed with Leigh Bardugo because of Six of Crows!
After Shadow and Bone season two was released, I decided to read it as well and I couldn’t put it down. The reason why Leigh Bardugo is such a talented writer is because of her pacing and descriptions for the action set pieces in her novels.
Leigh Bardugo created the Grishaverse which has now become even more popular because of the Netflix series. The next adaptation will hopefully be Six of Crows after the introduction of the jurda parem in season two.
Convincing You to Read Books by Sarah J. Maas
That’s the beauty of a fantasy author like Sarah J. Mass. She crafts such extraordinary worlds that no matter when you read her novels, you’re automatically pulled in and you fall for the characters.
