New Books I Want to Read This Year

 I'm back on Long and Short Reviews' blog topics after the Christmas break, and this topic was a good one since quite a few of my favourite writers have new books coming out this year.

The main ones I'm keeping an eye out for are:

"The Last Death of the Year" - Sophie Hannah. I love her Poirot novels, so I pre-ordered this one straight away.

Richard Osman's new, untitled, Thursday Murder Club book - I've read all of his so far and loved them.

And "The Rushworth Family Plot" - Claudia Gray. The hero and heroine of these Jane Austen-esque mysteries are a wonderfully intriguing pair.

I also have a new one of my own coming out on 15th January - "Totality". I would love to include a cover but Blogger is refusing to play this morning, so here's a description instead.

When eclipse-chaser Azora goes to see a partial eclipse with her friends, she catches the attention of film star and BDSM enthusiast Lorcan and wins a kiss from him. Two months later Lorcan contacts her and asks to meet up, and Azora wonders - what can he want from someone like her?

 Azora and Lorcan soon find the heat between them igniting, but Lorcan’s co-stars make one thing clear– Lorcan likes to date “civilians”, discarding them within a few weeks. Azora decides to enjoy the ride – her friends’ animal shelter will benefit from the publicity, and why shouldn’t she have some fun while still seeking the one thing she’s never seen, a total eclipse?

 But soon Azora knows the end date is in sight – and yet she no longer is sure she wants it to end. Can Lorcan be truly happy with a civilian, or will Azora see totality alone?
