Hi guys, so today I'm doing the first TBR of 2017.
And this is going to be my January 2017 TBR.
Traitor's Blade by Sebastien De Castell.
Cas-teal.
I'm not good with pronunciations.
And I am kinda going in to this blind.
Umm I tend to like to do that with fantasy.
I feel like a lot of time the synopsis, they put things that are really big turning points
in the book on the synopsis and I half the fun of reading is being surprised by those
elements.
The next book, I don't know quite how to classify it.
I'll have a better Idea when I read it.
But this is ether a fantasy or a contemporary with a little bit of magical realism.
This is Summerlong by Peter S. Beagle.
And he has not published a book in over a decade umm.
He has some pretty umm big books published including The Last Unicorn and some other
books.
But they description of this was, it sounds like it is to be one of those books that is
very erie but beautiful at the same time.
It's about a girl whose mother dies and it's set in Russia.
And her father goes off and he goes to Moscow to find a new wife.
So he marries this women and she becomes the stepmother to these girls.
However, she's not okay with their family doing the rituals that has been done for years
and years and years and turns out these rituals are pretty important in that they keep I guess
evil spirits at bay.
We will see how it goes but it sounds very interesting and I'm excited to get to it.
The next book is going to be 10% Human How Your Body's Microbes Hold the Key to Health
by Alanna Collen, Collin and I'm umm.
I don't think Ive told y'all but my first degree I got was in microbiology and its something
that I'm still very very interested in hoping to have a job that is somewhat related to
it.
Umm in the health care field or some sort of a research lab.
So i'm excited for this because for those of you who don't know your body is actually
more microbes than is actually human DNA.
And umm especially in terms of digestion and umm and our skin actually.
The microbes on our skin our actually very good.
They are protects for other things and without them umm you would you could get some pretty
nasty infections if you didn't have your normal bacteria.
So i'm excited for this.
The next two books I don't have a physical copies of I have umm audiobook and I think
an ebook from the library right now.
And one is...
I don't know if its ghost written or cowritten but it's by Buzz Aldrin and I can't think
of the other authors name off the top of my head but It is called A Mission to Mars and
this his vision of space exploration.
And he talks about how he thinks that in the next 20 years that 15-20 years that humans
might actually make it to mars.
So I'm excited to read that.
He was I believe the first man actually on the moon.
The next book I want to get to is going to be that last book I have on my imitate TBR
but we will see I have a couple of library books on hold.
It is called the Philadelphia Chromosome the Mutant gene and the quest to cure cancer at
the genetic level.
And this is by Jessica Wapner.
Umm like I said I got a degree in microbiology umm and I'm also very actually probably more
interested in the cellular and molecular side of biology and partially this is about breast
cancer I believe this is, this may or may not be the p53 gene.
It might not be what their talking about but I ehhh.
But for those of you who don't know gene therapy is actually also known as chemotherapy umm
and theirs a couple of different ways of using gene therapy.
And currently its in my opinion, other than with a select few cancers specifically leukemias
umm the dynamics of chemo working are not in the best of odds but with specific leukemia's
APL is one of them, it is almost 100% curable unless they catch it in a stage where it's
just too late to knock it out.
Umm I'm very interested to read that and I'm interested to hear what you guys are reading
in 2017 and I will see y'all later bye guys.
