Dragonfall

L. R. Lam
Amanda RutterAmanda Rutter

To help @LR_Lam celebrate the release of her new novel, Dragonfall, how about a quick: "and then the dragons arrived." Pick a novel, take the first line and add "and then the dragons arrived." "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, and then the dragons arrived."

Snobs

Julian Fellowes
Amanda RutterAmanda Rutter

@carlywatters If Snobs by Julian Fellowes is shelved as "Fiction" and "Humour" and "Contemporary" and "Literary Fiction", then perhaps all novels with female main characters should be shelved the same!

Madness of Angels

Franklin Orion Smith

So true! Like, everyone is reading Claire North, but have you tried A Madness of Angels by her Kate Griffin alter ego? Superb. And the two trilogies by Brian McClellan starting with Promise of Blood? Astonishingly good. Both now counted as backlist. https://t.co/5ai0JaLXT6

Kiss Chase

Fiona Walker

@LouMorgan Yeah, I would say either Riders or Rivals. OR try Fiona Walker - Kiss Chase or French Relations are brilliant (very Jilly Cooper mould, just a bit more modern)

Reacher: Killing Floor (Movie Tie-In)

Lee Child
Amanda RutterAmanda Rutter

Lee Child didn't make the New York Times bestseller list until book nine of the Jack Reacher series. Now the books are assumed NYT bestsellers. He was given a LOT of time to develop his craft. https://t.co/cLflDKoZtK
