Read It Richard

2026's bookish New Year’s resolution is to read at least one book a month that I don’t need to review on my blog. I’m kicking off with the latest in the Nevermoor series on my Kindle.

A retired warlock. A determined young witch. A murder that refuses to stay buried. ⚡ My review of Time-Marked Warlock by Shami Stovall, 3rd Place Finalist in #BBNYA2025. ginaraemitchell.com/time-marked-wa… A fast-paced urban fantasy mystery filled with clever worldbuilding, found-family bonds, humor, and heart. 📖 4.5★ Review #BookReview #UrbanFantasy #FantasyBooks #IndieAuthor #BookBlogger @BBNYA_Official @The_WriteReads

From a reviewer: ‘In Hilly Bamby’s books, the plots often unravel slowly, building tension through characters’ internal conflicts, rather than relying on constant action — ideal if you like atmospheric, introspective suspense. Link: amazon.co.uk/s?k=hilly+barm

The second book of my crazy interplanetary crime saga is out now. LATE NIGHT MARS follows the adventures of a cult film director who gets caught up in the brewing conflict between political forces scrambling for control of the solar system. a.co/d/0clhm2rc

While this does sprinkle notes of Bardugo’s Six of Crows, Peloquin’s Queen of Thieves, and Kuhn’s Among Thieves, it still managed to feel like it’s own little pocket(dimension) of fantasy—carving out its own corner on the fantasy bookshelf. @GretaKKelly fanfiaddict.com/review-the-que…

The year is 4300 BCE. The place is Europe, where Eastern nomads have invaded Shara, a civilized city where a bold and passionate young woman named Keshna comes of age as a female warrior and a daring avenger. amzn.to/3Hvx3qD #HistoricalFiction
