What are the best novellas and short stories that you’ve read recently? Please share your TTT links!
The covers of these books are stunning! They look so good! 🙂
Great cover art is definitely a plus! 🙂
I want to read the American Hippo novellas so much! I’ve heard such good things about them and hippos are my boyfriend’s favorite animal so hopefully, I can recommend them to him too 🙂
The hippo stories are crazy good. I hope you enjoy them!
Oooh I can’t wait!
Every Heart a Doorway made my list too – I still need to finish that series for sure. 🙂
I really loved the 1st two, and I think I need to reread #3 and give it another chance to win my heart.
So many books on here that I want to read. I need to catch up with the Seanan McGuire books – plus her Toby Daye series. I’ve bought at least the first Sarah Galley but still not picked it up and I’m seeing all sorts of rave reviews for the Bot books which are giving me a serious case of ‘grabby hands’ – I have to have them all! Now I just need to figure out how to create more time out of fresh air and my plans for total book domination can begin.
Lynn 😀
Ha, if you figure out how to invent more reading time, please share your secret! The Toby Daye series is so wonderful — it absolutely captured my heart. 🙂
Amazing list of books on here! *Sigh* Need more time to read 🙂
Ha. Don’t we all???
😁😊 For reals!
I need to read a Seanan McGuire book someday. I’ve seen those books and Binti (which I also haven’t read) on a lot of lists this week.
She’s so amazing! I love all of her books. (Seanan McGuire). Binti really is worth reading too!
Finally getting around to Every Heart (and possibly the others) was on my to do list for the year. I’m running out of months. lol I’ve been hearing such incredible things about Martha Wells’ stories too that I want to make time for those as well. Great list!
Thanks! Now I’m dying for the next Martha Wells, coming in August!
