Late August Reviews (2024)

Greetings

Welcome to the Books That Burn Fortnightly Roundup! Releasing every two weeks (one week early for Patrons).

I track upcoming book releases by authors we've previously covered on a shareable google calendar.

Rereads and Older Reviews

Still re-reading October Daye and Inheritance!

Current Reads

Songs and Playlists

Sometimes I make book playlists, either chronological or character-vibes. You can find all of those here.

This fortnight’s featured playlist is: Jack of Thorns

In Case You Missed It

This time last year I read ITHACA by Claire North.

Pluggables and Podcast News

As for the podcast, hopefully you're enjoying our most recent episode. If you'd like to receive episodes early, as well as bonus content, please consider supporting us on Patreon. Patrons receive this newsletter one week early, as well as a list of upcoming podcast episodes and even more planned reviews.

Thanks for reading, the next roundup will be in two weeks!
