The View From Monday - June 16, 2014


Happy Monday! I'm reading Shield and Crocus by Michael R. Underwood and California Bones by Greg van Eekhout. Oddly both books feature bones. In Shield and Crocus, the city of Audec-Hal sits in the bones of a Titan. In California Bones, bones are eaten to provide magic to the person who eats the bones. (I'll explain that in the review.)




There are three debuts this week:

Flight of the Golden Harpy by Susan Klaus;

The Quick by Lauren Owen;

and

The Forty First Wink by James Walley;


And from formerly featured Debut Author Challenge authors:

Shattered (Iron Druid Chronicles 7) by Kevin Hearne;

and

Spell or High Water (Magic 2.0, 2) by Scott Meyer.
