I blogged last week about how I was finishing up my quarterfinal judging for this year's Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award. Today was our due date. I'm happy to say that I finished everything in time and am happy to probably just watch some bad tv for the next few days. I DO however, have some excellent books just waiting to be read this weekend... *grins*
So, like last year and the year before and the year before...well, you get the idea... I can't actually tell you what I've read. I can, however, give you a little teaser for each and then you can all wait with me to see how they do in the next round!
Novel 1 - A college student discovers that she can manipulate the elements. Now she's being hunted for her powers and if she can't band together with one aggravating/cute boy, she may not survive to get her degree...
Novel 2 - A high fantasy about a man who can travel between worlds. When a dragon egg is stolen and brought to our world he must return it or risk both worlds falling to ruin...
Novel 3 - A dystopian set in a snow-covered London. A stranger enters a small, self-sufficient community of survivors and brings danger into their cozy world.
Novel 4 - A horror story about a serial killer targeting a neighborhood to create an artistic vision that will shock the world...
Novel 5 - A dieselpunk adventure set in an alternate Prohibition-Era Chicago where the gods topple Capone only to bring ruin to the City as they try to grab power for themselves...
This year, I was pleased that I really enjoyed two of the books! Enough that I would love to read sequels for them both. I can only hope that someday I can...
So, until next year, I'm officially done with ABNA... *wipes forehead and grins*
