AUGUST TBR of Laura

AUGUST TBR
Sorry for being so absent. I just finished a two-week ballet summer intensive and I thought I could just dance 7 hours per day and have enough energy to read in the evening/night but I was lying to myself... I can't :( that's why I was not able to finish all July reads. Therefore, I will finish July reads first and then I will see if I can complete August reads which are: Amour Amour, Nocte, Verum, Just A Few Inches, and Slip!

Are there any books you want us to review in particular? If you'd like to suggest a book to Hannah, Martyna, and/or me to read for September please use the Contact Us tab above.

BLURB:
When struggling riverboat captain Abner Marsh receives an offer of partnership from a wealthy aristocrat, he suspects something’s amiss. But when he meets the hauntingly pale, steely-eyed Joshua York, he is certain. For York doesn’t care that the icy winter of 1857 has wiped out all but one of Marsh’s dilapidated fleet. Nor does he care that he won’t earn back his investment in a decade. York has his own reasons for wanting to traverse the powerful Mississippi. And they are to be none of Marsh’s concern—no matter how bizarre, arbitrary, or capricious his actions may prove.

Marsh meant to turn down York’s offer. It was too full of secrets that spelled danger. But the promise of both gold and a grand new boat that could make history crushed his resolve—coupled with the terrible force of York’s mesmerizing gaze. Not until the maiden voyage of his new sidewheeler Fevre Dream would Marsh realize he had joined a mission both more sinister, and perhaps more noble, than his most fantastic nightmare...and mankind’s most impossible dream.
Here is the spellbinding tale of a vampire’s quest to unite his race with humanity, of a garrulous riverman’s dream of immortality, and of the undying legends of the steamboat era and a majestic, ancient river.
