Keeper of the Bees by Meg Kassel Genre: YA Paranormal Release Date: September 4th 2018 Entangled Teen Summary: “ Beauty and the beast like you’ve never imagined! ” — New York Times bestselling author Pintip Dunn KEEPER OF THE BEES is a tale of two teens who are both beautiful and beastly, and whose pasts are entangled in surprising and heartbreaking ways. Dresden is cursed. His chest houses a hive of bees that he can’t stop from stinging people with psychosis-inducing venom. His face is a shifting montage of all the people who have died because of those stings. And he has been this way for centuries—since he was eighteen and magic flowed through his homeland, corrupting its people. He follows harbingers of death, so at least his curse only affects those about to die anyway. But when he arrives in a Midwest town marked for death, he encounters Essie, a seventeen-year-old girl who suffers from debilitating delusions and hallucinations. His bees want to sting her on sight. But Essie does...
So, after a trip to Islington's Oxfam, I got this
I have Orange is the New Black by Piper Kerman, Rosencrantz and Guildernstern are Dead by Tom Stoppard and the Complete Works of William Shakespeare by William Shakespeare. I love charity shops. That all came to less than £10!!!
Yes, I know I have the Shakespeare on my kindle. But now I have it on my bookcase. So it's easier to read. And annotate. And force on to people. This will be very useful in my "Read at least 3/4 of Shakespeare's Works by the time you finish Sixth Form" goal!
Also, thanks to Quercus and Angry Robot, I have read Red by Allison Cherry and Last God Standing by Michael Boatman. Reviews coming soon...
News! Kim Curran has things coming out- not just Delete, but also Glaze! I love the whole concept of this, and look forwards to May. More info at Kim's blog.
You know how I love Tom Pollock's The Skyscraper Throne? Jo Fletcher are organising a reread of everything in preparation for Our Lady of the Streets, which comes out in August. More details here. Also, I don't think I ever fangirled properly over the covers. The City's Son and Our Lady of the Streets are set in this world, so they have white backgrounds, while The Glass Republic happens in London Under Glass, so it's black. Cover designers, don't ever stop. Tom can be found on Death Books and Tea and on his website.
Chelsea Pitcher has a cover reveal for The Last Changeling. I really enjoyed The S Word (review here), and this looks completely different, but hopefully it'll be good. It comes in Autumn, from Flux. There's a US giveaway here, if anyone's interested.
Awesome of the week- Pulp Covers for Classics. Here's my favourites-there's more at its website.
