Not read any of these yet, but Scavenge the Stars and By Sea and Sky are both on my radar, though I can’t say I’ve seen them talked about very much.

I’m really disappointed in how little I’ve seen them talked about since retellings/pirates are generally pretty hyped.

Great list! I still need to read Something to Talk About and By Sea & Sky, too. 🙂 I’d like to give Scavenge the Stars a try, but I’d like to conquer The Count of Monte Cristo first!

Same. I was going to read it when it first came out, but I decided to hold off but Count is so intimidating!

I really need to get on Scavenge the Stars too. I loved her previous books.

I didn’t finish Timekeeper but I’ve always meant to go back and try it again.

Charlotte and Woven in Moonlight both look great. I have been too crazy with life to add many 2020 books. Thanks for sharing these.
I have a big author party going in Paris, after the pandemic, and I’d love to have you stop by and join in. All our favorites are there…or maybe I left someone out? Here’s my post: https://readerbuzz.blogspot.com/2020/07/in-paris-when-pandemic-is-over.html.

Hallo, Hallo Louise,
I see we share an author in common interest (ie. Edale Lane)!! I have had so much fun hosting her this year – first with discovering the Night Flyer trilogy with my first review, then with the vlog interview afterwards and happily after sharing my review of the sequel, I was able to share my phone interview with her about the second in the series. I’m hopeful when you get the chance to dive into this world you’ll enjoy being there like I have had myself.

Fingers crossed it works it’s way into a TBR space soon! Knowing you’ve enjoyed it is a great recommendation.

I am kind of a sucker for dogs on book covers! I might have to pick up Death With a Dark Red Rose.

My Calamity Jane is on my list, too, though a blogging friend said it wasn’t as good as the first two. Still want to read it though.
Have a good week.

I adored Lady and was a bit meh on Plain, so Calamity is set to be the tie-breaker for me. I like the idea of their Mary series, but if this one doesn’t win me over I’ll probably give it a miss. Which would be disappointing because I’ve enjoyed My Lady Jane enough to reread it.

Charlotte is on my TBR. I think it sounds lovely.

Does it make you feel better if I tell you I haven’t read any of these yet? In fact, that first Jane book is still on my TBR. Ooops!

I thought the first Jane book was absolutely hilarious. I really hope you enjoy it whenever you get the chance 😊

I hope you enjoy them! I’m scared to look back at past TBRs I’ve made because I’m terrible at following my own reading lists.
