Tomorrow morning I fly to Vienna for 10 days (the first part of a 3 week break from work which started today – hurrah!) and because we’re flying and I’m a modern sort of person I am taking my iPad with its lovely Kindle app with me instead of lots of “real” books. I have loads of volumes on there (I’m actually too embarrassed to say how many, so don’t ask me, I won’t tell you) so I’ve set up a collection of potential reads just to be able to manage my choices, and I thought I’d share them here.
So, in no particular order (and with no links, sorry):
- The Troop by Nick Cutter
- The Oversight by Charlie Fletcher
- Horrostor by Grady Hendrix
- A Long Spoon by Jonathan L Howard
- The Loney by Andrew Michael Hurley
- The Three Body Problem by Cixin Liiu
- Mars Evacuees by Sophia McDougall
- Shutter Man by Richard Montanari
- Into the Fire by Manda Scott
- The Annihilation Score by Charles Stross
- The Relic Guild by Edward Cox
- The Cuckoo’s Calling by Robert Galbraith
- My Bloody Valentine by Alastair Gunn
- The Uninvited by Liz Jensen
- An English Ghost Story by Kim Newman
There’s no way I’m going to get anywhere near all of these, especially as I ‘m already about a quarter of the way through Osiris by EJ Swift. And I’m not as brave as my husband who is on ebooks alone; I’m taking VE Schwab’s A Darker Shade of Magic as an emergency just in case my iPad explodes.

Vienna! How fantastic! Have a wonderful time! Your booklist looks very strong, and I think you’re wise to have at least one physical book as a backup plan. I love my Nook for traveling, but I carry a book and a notebook with me anyway, to be on the safe side.

We had such a good time, Jenny, that I did hardly any reading at all. I finished one book and I’m about a third of the way through second. But I still have a week before i go back to work so hoping to have more time for reading then. There was just so much to see, plus I slept. a lot. 😀
