I stumbled on an interesting book on the New Books shelf at the library last week. The interesting metallic cover caught my eye, but the thickness of the book, with the edge of the pages stained black was what really caused me to pick it up. The book itself was marketing genius. I checked it out.
When I got it home I realized it was the sequel to another book. As I researched I discovered that these two books, both released in 2023, seemed to be taking the publishing world by storm. They’d won all kinds of awards and had already been optioned as a TV series. There were a few minor red flags for me (sex, language) in the description but Amazon offered the first three chapters as a sample.
By the time I finished reading the sample chapters, I was hooked. I ordered both books and could hardly wait the two days for them to arrive. I wanted to see what happened next.
Because this is a Friday, short post, that’s all I’m going to tell you. I’m half-way through the first book. Everything I read doesn’t have to mean something, teach something, have a specific, honorable purpose. These books are pure fun and escapism. I can’t wait for all the sequels!
