I’ve heard of lot of great things about this duology so bought them and prepared to go in blind! Have you ever bought books simply on a recommendation and ready for the story to surprise you?

Another series I’ve completed as a part of #BeatTheBacklist. This duology deals with a futuristic society that have identified the HTS (Homicidal Tendency Syndrome) gene – a gene that violent criminals possess, so anyone found with this in their DNA are imprisoned. Is it nature or nurture that determines if we are a killer?

What is your favourite book about gene research used as a plot device? Mine would have to be ‘This Mortal Coil‘ by Emily Suvada.

This book wowed, surprised, and empowered me so much. That is saying a lot from a memoir written by a news host and journalist (now author.) I became an instant fan of someone I was only peripherally aware of; Tracey Spicer has inspired me to research even more memoir’s written by women navigating their way in a male dominated society and finding their voice.

Is there a female figure that has inspired you through a memoir or autobiography?

I’d had ‘Unraveling‘ on my TBR shelf for years, and as a part of my #BeatTheBacklist initiative to read books I already own (and complete series) I jumped into this alternate universe duology… a lot of sci-fi fun with warring factions.

What is the one book that has been on your TBR shelf the longest?

A post-apocalyptic start to a trilogy that was never completed in publication which I really enjoyed. It’s such a shame when series get abondoned. Alex Adams, if you’re out there, could you at least self-publish ebooks to complete the trilogy? This reader would appreciate it so much!

Are there any series that you loved that were never completely published?

I had the debut of this series sitting on my shelves for ages, then finally got around to reading about a ‘born yesterday’ teen android trying to navigate her way in the world. It was difficult to find the rest of the books in the series because it’s a bit old now but managed to track down some copies to complete the trilogy. A satisfying read for the younger end of the YA demographic.

A charming road trip story with a dose of teenage rebellion and coming to terms with grief and loss.

I’ve had this collection on my TBR shelf for ages, so decided to complete the series as a part of #BeatTheBacklist… a fun YA Science Fiction story about teens with supernatural powers aimed at the younger end of the YA demographic. Just about to start the last book – can’t wait to see how the story ends. I have my theories.

I love the cover art of ‘We Contain Multitudes!’ This was a difficult book to read and review – so many difficult issues are raised with flawed characters. Keep an eye out for the full review coming soon.

I needed a new non-fiction memoir to break up my diet of science fiction, contemporary, and fantasy (paranormal) and what better way to add in some flavour that a book written by a comedian. I’m going into this blind, so I don’t know what to expect… do you pick up the odd book out of your favoured reading genres? Give some recommendations, I love finding a new read.
