I wasn’t supposed
to buy books this week/month/season, but here we are.
House of Blood and Earth by Sarah J. Maas
From Blood and Ash swag
So, yeah. I spent
money on books this week. Well, a book. Singular. I shouldn’t have, but I keep
seeing reviews and fanart for House of Blood and Earth and I don’t want
to be spoiled, so I bought it. Now, I must read it. After I read a couple of
other things.
Question: How many
other people out there call this book Crescent City? I do it all the time. Why
did the cover designer make the series title font so large?!? It’s annoying.
I also received my
From Blood and Ash book-order swag. (Not a pre-order incentive since the
book was already out when the swag giveaway happened.)
What books have
you bought/received lately?
Yeah, it's weird when publishers do that. Especially when the title is longer than the series title. It definitely makes it hard to know what the actual title is! I remember on the ARC of Bree Despain's The Shadow Prince, they did that. INTO THE DARK was soooo big...I actually didn't know which was which when I started reading it. That was some odd years ago of course. But yeah, really, really bad on publishers part. No matter how popular the author or whatever, there will always be that new reader who might not know how to tell which is the title and which is the series title.
ReplyDeleteI still need to read this mammoth too! Doing good at avoiding reviews and spoilers but totally curious to know the meanings behind all the fan art. For that one I might need to take a few vacation days so I can binge it peacefully at 800+ pages!
Hope you enjoy the new read! Lovely picture too! ;)
My StS will be up tomorrow, so stop by then if you can!
Have a GREAT day!

I haven't been spoiled so far, but the longer I wait, the more likely it is it's gonna happen. It happened with ACOMAF and I'm still not able to finish that series. Lol. And glad you feel the same way about the cover. XD
DeleteWow, that is silly cover design. How odd! I sort of stopped reading Sarah J. Maas, some stuff about her books annoyed me, but this teeeempts me.
ReplyDeleteMy STS post!
Totally understand! I still haven't read the last two books in the ACOTAR series because I was tired of her changing love interests in the middle of series, so I get it.
