booklist for readathon

[topaz119]

This is my semi-curated stack of books for the Dewey's Readathon this Saturday. (Semi-curated meaning that I scrolled through my ridiculous books-i-own-but-haven't-read tag on goodreads and saw what popped.) I would love to give you covers, or a picture, or something, but my technology is not cooperating with me this morning.

I can do bullets, though!

As You Wish, Cary Elwes – Memoir of The Princess Bride

A Bollywood Affair, Sonali Dev – Contemporary romance

Cinder, Marissa Meyer – Steampunk Cinderella

Duchess in Love, Eloisa James – Historical (Regency-era) romance

Far in the Wilds, Deanna Raybourn – Historical novella, prequel to her post-WWI Lost Generation-on-the-savanna novel

The Girl in the Steel Corset, Kady Cross – steampunk

The Girls of Atomic City, Denise Kiernan – WWII women involved in the development of the atomic bomb

Heirs of Grace, Tim Pratt – Contemporary gothic

His Very Own Girl, Carrie Lofty – Historical (WWII) romance

Ladies of the Field, Amanda Adams – History focused on early female archaeologists (ie, Amelia Peabody for reals, y'all.)

Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy, Karen Abbot – Women of the American Civil War

Paris, My Sweet: A Year in the City of Light, Amy Thomas – Memoir with recipes

Prince of Pleasure, Saul David – Biography (George IV of England)

Silk Is For Seduction, Loretta Chase – Historical (Regency-era) romance

The Sweetest Thing, Jill Shalvis – Contemporary romance

A Voyage Long and Strange, Timothy Horowitz – American history between Columbus and the Pilgrims
This doesn't count audiobooks, where I'm midway through Blood Rites, which is Book 5? of Jim Butcher's Dresden series (so, urban fantasy/PI) and the BBC adaptation of Gaiman's Neverwhere.

So, yeah, this is all pretty light stuff, but like I said, it's what jumped out at me when I was scrolling for books that I've already spent money on and that's where I'm going.
