I was a bit confused about something mentioned during this episode, maybe you can set my brain straight. I thought I heard one of you reference the fact that you had read ‘Lady Helen’ but then it came up that you were both really excited to read ‘Dark Days Club’ when it comes out.
From what Goodreads has told me, ‘Lady Helen and the Dark Days Club’ is the original title and what looks like the title for the Aussie version but in other areas it is just titled ‘The Dark Days Club’ and publishes in a week or so. Is this the same book and I just heard you wrong or am I broken and don’t understand simple concepts?
P.S. It was mentioned that ‘Morning Star’ (Book #3 of Pierce Brown’s Red Rising series) comes out in early February. I literally have a countdown on my calendar for this because I’m losing my mind in anticipation of this book being available to devour. I know it is always just more stuff to the “I’ve heard that is great, I should really get around to it” epic list that keeps growing but seriously. These. Books. From knowing what you both enjoy I truly think you will love these books but I need you to read them so that if you DO love them, then I have people to geek out over them with. 🙂 Because naturally, it is all about me.
Angelya
Argh, sorry for the confusion! I really need to slow down and speak more clearly 🙁
Yes, you’ve got it right, ‘Lady Helen and the Dark Days Club’ is just called ‘The Dark Days Club’ in other countries. It’s already out in Australia, but the Jan release date is for overseas. I have already read it, yes, and it’s awesome, and hopefully everyone else will get to read it soon too.
And yes, the Pierce Brown books are def on my list, especially if they’re a favourite of yours 😉
Tracy Cornelius
No worries and thank you for the clarification. Sometimes when books have both different publication dates and different but similar titles in different parts of the world, it creates overload in my brain.
Heaven forbid that I miss out on a potential extra item to add to my ‘must read’ pile. The horror would be unspeakable!
Thank You!
