Thanks for visiting, Pam! :)
DeleteSlewfoot sounds good.
ReplyDeleteIt's good and creepy. The audiobook production is fantastic.
DeleteThere are so many on here that I want to read! Lol! Slewfoot for sure. Before the Devil Knows You're Here also looks really good!
ReplyDeleteI would love to know what you think of them if you decide to try them.
DeleteNice list1 I have The Reformatory on hold at the library!
ReplyDeleteHere is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
Enjoy it, Aymee!
DeleteWhat a fun prompt. Interesting time periods, too. https://headfullofbooks.blogspot.com/2025/02/ttt-books-set-in-different-time-recent.html
ReplyDeleteI tried to pick quite a variety. :)
DeleteSlewfoot is on my TBR list. I'm glad you liked it!
ReplyDeleteI hope you do too, Aj!
DeleteI'm a big historical fiction fan, too, although I haven't read any of these books. Several of them are on my TBR list.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
I hope you enjoy them when you get to them!
DeleteI recently read The Reformatory and loved it so much. It is such a good book! I haven't read any of the other books on your list, but several are ones I hope to read. The Warm Hands of Ghost is one of them. I see a couple I have never heard of so will definitely have to check them out!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy them!
DeleteI've read Slewfoot and The Warm Hands of Ghosts! I enjoyed the latter but didn't really like Slewfoot, unfortunately.

It definitely isn't for everyone. Thanks for visiting, Haze!
DeleteI hear good things about A Crane Among Wolves! It's probably time to add it on my to-read list!
ReplyDeleteI hope you like it!
DeleteThese look good. I used to watch Poldark. I stopped for some reason and never got back to it 🤔
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!

I really enjoyed both the show and the books. The show does a great job of adapting the series, except for the last few books because it does take quite a time jump.
DeleteI've heard of a couple of these and some of them I haven't have stunning COVERS. I love that one on Katherine's books. Thanks for visiting my list today!
ReplyDeleteYes, it's quite eye catching isn't it.
DeleteI really like how you’ve put what year the book is set in. The cover of Foul Heart Huntsman is really pretty. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI think I actually managed to prefer that series a little more than the first series too. 🙂
DeleteI really want to check out Warm Hands. I've heard lots of good things about that one.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy it, Alicia!
DeleteGreat list! There's quite a few titles from my own TBR on here, and I had to add To the Bone to my TBR list. I also love Katherine Arden's writing, and haven't read that one yet, even if I keep hearing everyone raving about it.
