I was inspired by a post I read by Kelsye at Wise Ink Blog Ultimate Bloggers Guide to Growing Your Readership. Her list of ways to increase traffic got me thinking about how little I actually do to set schedules and really update readers on what to expect from my little slice of the inter-webs. In theory, this feature should help keep me on track and active. My long term goal is to turn this post into a weekly newsletter of sorts outlining where we are and where we are going.
#WholeLottaNothing
There’s nothing really to report, folks. I’ve been busy doing testing and interviews for jobs so other than reading for reviews and setting up posts for early 2016 I haven’t been very active in the book community.
I also went through all the 2016 titles currently on Goodreads and found plenty of amazing titles I’m super excited to read. I’m pretty sure my TBR list is at least 50 new books long! I’ve also been checking out my stats for the last few years and comparing my pre-blogging years to my post-blogging year on Goodreads. It’s interesting to see the change in my stats where I least expected them!

A 2016 release, but something that was on my TBR list as soon as I read the synopsis at YABC. I’ve already read it in one sitting and definitely loved it. A unique idea with plenty romance and science fiction to keep a reader enthralled! This is definitely a 2016 debut not to be missed! Alien queen Kora has a problem as vast as the endless crimson deserts. She’s the first female ruler of her territory in generations, but her people are rioting and call for her violent younger twin brother to take the throne. Despite assassination attempts, a mounting uprising of nomadic human rebels, and pressure to find a mate to help her rule, she’s determined to protect her people from her brother’s would-be tyrannical rule.
Eros is a rebel soldier hated by aliens and human alike for being a half-blood. Yet that doesn’t stop him from defending his people, at least until Kora’s soldiers raze his camp and take him captive. He’s given an ultimatum: be an enslaved bodyguard to Kora, or be executed for his true identity—a secret kept even from him.
When Kora and Eros are framed for the attempted assassination of her betrothed, they flee. Their only chance of survival is to turn themselves in to the high court, where revealing Eros’s secret could mean a swift public execution. But when they uncover a violent plot to end the human insurgency, they must find a way to work together to prevent genocide. |
