Arson by Estevan Vega
Ashes by Estevan Vega The Forsaken by Estevan Vega Estevan is on my instant-read list. That means if he writes it, I’ll read it. Period. I’m reading Ashes right now and HOLY BATMAN, you guys. I’m having to make myself read it slowly so I won’t miss the good stuff. If you love thrillers, you need to be a fan of Estevan Vega. He’s legit and these are solid recommends. ****************************************************   A Reliable Wife by Robert Goolrick
Heading Out to Wonderful by Robert Goolrick
Robert Goolrick is another of my instant-read authors.
I LOVED A Reliable Wife. So, so much.
When my copy of Heading Out to Wonderful gets here, I will ignore you all.
That is a promise.
****************************************************
I’m listening to this book now. I don’t even have words suitable for my love for it. Plus it is read by the amazing Nick Podehl. His voice is LIKE BUTTER.
I could curl up in a ball and listen to Nick read Pat’s words for the full 28 hours straight
and not be bothered at all by this. Not at all. Have mercy…both the story and that voice.

  The Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne ****************************************************
 The Chaos Walking Trilogy (will make almost all of my lists) ****************************************************

Patient Zero by Jonathan Maberry
The Dragon Factory by Jonathan Maberry
The King of Plagues by Jonathan Maberry
Assassin’s Code by Jonathan Maberry
While I’m catching up on the above-listed Maberry books,
I figured I’d play hooky with these too.
I’m SO FAR BEHIND on his stuff.
Oh well! It’s MY list.
There are plenty of others that I didn’t mention.
WHAT ABOUT YOU?
What’s on your list?
Did I leave something off
that I should’ve included?
About Asheley
Asheley is a Southern girl. She loves Carolina blue skies, Ben & Jerry's ice cream, and NC craft beer. She loves all things history but prefers books over everything.
You can find her somewhere in North Carolina, daydreaming about the ocean.
Find Asheley on Litsy @intothehallofbooks!
So glad you're making your way through American Gods. With its mix of mythology, action, and character development, I knew you'd love it as much as I did.
Yes.
That's a pretty diverse list! Heading Out to Wonderful looks so good!
Come see my Top Ten / Teaser Tuesday!
YES YES YES Heading Out to Wonderful makes me jump with joy! I am a HUGE Goolrick fan. It's ridiculous. I love A Reliable Wife so much and think the covers they've chosen for that book misrepresent it. If you haven't read it, I highly recommend it. I want to read it again before Wonderful gets to me…then when Wonderful gets here I'll probably hug it and carry it around like a child carries a new toy around after Christmas or a birthday. Not joking.
Love, love. 🙂 There are many series here that I want to read.
That's the same way I feel whenever I go to your blog, Ash!
Seriously, I got The Knife of Letting Go for Christmas and still haven't read it yet. Ugh! Must get on that soon!!
I'll spare you my fangirling. But you know. YOU KNOW.
BARRONS AND THE BROTHERS ALL IN ONE POST!!! YESSSSSSSSSS! I love all of those boys something fierce. I'm both really excited and very nervous for Tohr's book, she's so good at ripping my heart out each time I read. I will definitely be making a trip to the bookstore today for that one though:)
YES YES YES YES!!!! Clapping and squealing!!! Reading your comment and seeing the all-caps excitement may have made me flail just a little bit. A teensy little bit.
I couldn't agree more with Fever! OMG I love those books. Barrons…sigh…Great picks!!
YES!!! I need to finish that series, seriously.
I totally have a box set of the Black Dagger books and if you liked them then YES I need to read them like yesterday.
ALSO CHAOS WALKING!
Nick Poedhl!
Did you know that he not only narrates Name of the Wind BUT ALSO THE CHAOS WALKING BOOKS. So if you ever plan to re-read, I bet you'd love the audiobook route.
April, GET ON THE DAGGER BOOKS.
Nick Podehl is like butter. B-U-T-T-E-R. (And Kvothe is the best thing ever.) Yeah, I saw that Nick reads Chaos Walking. He also does Will Grayson, Will Grayson, which I'll be listening to very soon.
Firstly, American Gods totally made my list too! Also, Chaos Walking AND Name of the Wind – seriously some of my all-time faves! Lastly, I was JUST talking about Blue Like Jazz with one of my friends and how we were both DYING to read it! Now that I know it's one of your faves it has shot up to the top of my TBR!
Fantastic list 🙂
Oh I'm a huge Don Miller fan. HUGE. HUGE.
Okay FINE! I will add all these to my TBR right now! They look awesome.
Great! They're either all awesome or sure to be awesome! Haha… 😉
OMG YES! I can't believe you're just now reading American Gods either, but I'm so glad that you are savoring and loving it. It IS one of my all time favorite reads, and I really want to make time to reread it soon myself. I LOVE Name of the Wind, I've read it twice already, and will probably do it again when the third ones come out because I love them so. I'm sure you'll like Wise Man's Fear as well…probably my favorite epic fantasy series ever.
I can ABSOLUTELY see why the Rothfuss books are among your favorite epic fantasies ever. I'm almost halfway thru The Name of the Wind and while I'm going slow, sometimes I think I'm going too slow and other times I think I'm going too fast. I am such a dork. I want to hurry up and KNOW the story yet I don't want it to end. I <3 Kvothe so much!
And American Gods, oh gracious. I have no words. None. Just love.
You have some crazy, creepy covers on your booklist! Especially the Jonathan Maberry and Estevan Vega books … I will sleep with the light on tonight! 🙂
Great books … I haven't heard of a lot of these — I'll definitely be adding some to my list! I've been meaning to read American Gods forever. The funny thing is that I claim to be such a huge Neil Gaiman fan, yet there is so much of his work that I've yet to read. I'll have to get on that!
Happy reading!
Oh my the Estevan Vega books are AMAZING. I just finished ASHES just a few minutes ago. Don't let the covers scare you – they're completely cohesive to the books! I highly highly recommend them.
And I'm LOVING American Gods. I knew I'd love it, I just didn't realize how much I'd love it. It's SO SO good.
I'd stay home to read all of these too. Arson and Ashes look creepy. Heading to Goodreads to check them out. 🙂
Arson and Ashes are two of my favorite books ever. I've just finished Ashes a couple of minutes ago and I can't believe how amazing it was – it actually surpassed Arson to me, and I LOVED Arson. I highly highly recommend Estevan Vega's work – he's extremely talented and I'm a huge, huge fan.
New follower! I'm really wanting to read the Chaos Walking series! Here is my Top 10 if you want to follow back: http://theonceandfuturelibrarian.blogspot.com/2012/03/top-10-tuesday-playing-hooky.html
Hi Kary! Thanks for stopping by! I love the Chaos Walking Trilogy SO MUCH! It's one of my favorite series ever. I hope you read it and love it!
Hounded! I've been wanting to read that series too! Great list! I'm going to have to check out Estevan Vega. He sounds amazing.
Yes, I'm having a FIT for the Hounded books.
And YES OH YES check out Estevan's books. They'll AMAZE you. He's a great storyteller.
I haven't actually read any off your list, but there's so many that I want to! I can't wait to get Arson, I've heard it's a great book!
Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
Arson is incredible and so is Ashes. I just finished it last night. It completely knocked my socks off, WOWed me. Please read them! Estevan is a favorite of mine. 😉
How about my mom just read Rot and Ruin and Dust and Decay and loved them:) This is your best list yet! LOVE IT!!!
Thanks Rebecca! I had a lot of fun with this list. There were SO MANY that I left off. I could've made it a mile long.
YAY FOR YOUR MOM!! She sounds pretty awesome to read Maberry. He's awesome but no joke!
I don't think I've read a single book on this list! Now I know I have some adding to do to my TBR…
Get to it, Meg!! There are some great ones here. For you, I particularly suggest the Goolrick books. Gah A Reliable Wife is amazing.
Whew! This is a killer list. I've been meaning to read American Gods ever since I finished Anansi Boys, which ironically, is meant to be a sequel of sorts, I think. But Neil Gaiman is an ANIMAL of awesome stories.
The Name of the Wind…I've had this book on my shelf since it came out and I keep forgetting it's there. NEEDS TO CHANGE. Same with the Darkfever books, except I don't own those.
YES to each of these. Just, YES. Also Chaos Walking, but we've already had this discussion yesterday and today. So I won't keep it up. Yes I will. READ THEM. 😉
I haven't read any of these, but a TON are on my list of series to start soon 🙂
I hope you get to start some of them…I'm ready to re-read and start some of them myself…
I suppose I should read Rot & Ruin. I'm not sure how I haven't read it before since I adore zombies.
Also, you should read Warm Bodies if zombies are your thing. For reals :]
I LOVE Warm Bodies! Zombies with a conscience? Such a concept. I loved it.
OHHHH Epe—so many of your books listed I loved too….The Ness series was so good and I just finished Hounded, the audio was really great….
Im dying to read The Fever Series, its on my summer series list and I adored Blue Like Jazz….did you know there making a movie out of it???? Donald Miller kind of sums up how I feel about Christianity….:)LOL- girl if we lived closer we could totally go out for chips and salsa and discuss his genius….
