Just Arrived: “Graveminder” & “Phoenix Rising”
Another happy post office box day today—I opened it up and found:
.
Graveminder by Melissa Marr
According to the back cover it is ” … a story of the living, the dead, and the curse that binds them.”
And the action takes place in Claysville, a town that “lures you back.”
It all sounds a little spooky and I can’t wait to find out more–and may I also say, I “just love” the cover!
.
Phoenix Rising: A Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences Novel by Pip Ballantine & Tee Morris.
The cover has already told me this is steampunk with a capital “S”, but what does the back say:
“Evil is most assuredly afoot—and Britain’s fate rests in the hands of an alluring renegade … and a librarian.”
No question: in both cases I must assuredly read on—and shall do so!
And who knows, all going well—maybe some blog interviews will follow. I do hope so!

In the meantime, following on from last Wednesday’s post, I am charging ahead with the Hugo Awards reading and hope to bring you my initial findings on NK Jemisin’s The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms and Mira Grant’s Feed, both contenders for the Hugo Award for Best Novel. If not Wedneday (because tomorrow is Tuesday poem day) then definitely Thursday.
I like this Graveminder cover better than the one released here in the US. Got to read this one soon. Melissa Marr, Jeaniene Frost and Kelly Armstrong (Supernatural Underground) are doing a signing together very close to me, Sept 1. How fun 🙂
Yes, the US cover didn’t really speak to me either–but I think Melissa’s just released a twitter preview of the US paperback cover which a lot of people are really excited about. This one is good though–and guess what, I have one to giveaway as well, once I’ve done the reading & reporting bit, which is one giveaway I suspect a lot of readers will be keen on.
I cant wait to read Graveminder. And I like that cover better too.
Me too, Donna: it’s top of my list as soon as the Hugos reading is done.
Both books sound so good. I prefer that cover of Graveminder, too. Happy reading, Helen! 😀
I am looking forward to reporting back on both of them!
