Top Ten Tuesday: 2021 Releases I Was Excited to Read But Didn’t Get To

DelGaudio’s memoir should prove intersting, and I really don’t know what else to say until I actually open the thing. If the film In & Of Itself is anything to go by, it’ll be a compelling read, if nothing else.

I’ve been looking forward to getting my hands on this one since I heard about it. I loved the “adult” version and want to see how he translates that into advice for kids (also, I can see this being easier to pass on to non-language nerd friends/family who need the help)

The third Teagan Frost adventure looks great (and reminds me to get my act together and read #2).

The Blackwood Saga concludes here in Book 5. I’d say I’d dive in next week, but, I still haven’t read book four.

This is one of those books I can’t imagine summarizing in a few paragraphs (at least without reading it first), much less a sentence. Click that link there to learn about it. Looks fun.

“This literary compendium from Mental Floss reveals fascinating facts about the world’s most famous authors and their literary works.” I’ve flipped through this a little since picking it up at my bookstore, I have no idea how to describe it—or how I’m going to write about it. But it’s going to be fun trying to figure it out.

Roach’s books always look interesting, but I haven’t gotten around to trying one. This one could change that.

Jurassic Park, but for D&D types.

Weir’s latest looks more like The Martian than Artemis, which should help sales, even if it seems like a cheat for him to try (looking at you, Ernest Cline).

“Kas is a junior researcher on a fact-finding mission to old Earth. But when a con-artist tricks her into wagering a large sum of money belonging to her university on the outcome of a manned robot arena battle she becomes drawn into the seedy underworld of old Earth politics and state-sponsored battle-droid prizefights.” Oh, that old chestnut…this is just such a strange collection of ideas I think I have to try it.
