It's finally February! OMG! One month closer to sunshine and warmth! Woohoo! Other than waiting for spring, I haven't been up to much since last week. Just working, eating, sleeping, etc. I've also been planning for ApollyCon, which has gotten really expensive. I've bought so many books in January. It's very upsetting to my bank account. Very, very upsetting. I need authors and book boxes to stop dropping so many special editions.
So on to this week's haul. First up, I have an ARC that showed up from Orbit. I had requested The Knight and the Moth by Rachel Gillig a month or so ago. I've heard good things about Rachel Gillig's other duology, so I thought I'd give this one a try. Plus the cover is very pretty. I also forgot to share last week that I received a Pango used books order that included Snow Like Ashes by Sara Raasch. There were a few other books in this order, but I'm not sure I'm going to keep them. They're not in very good shape, unfortunately. I really need to demand photos of all angles of books from now on. Sigh.
And next, I have an order I should have made years ago. For some reason, it hit me about a week ago that these covers of Sabaa Tahir's An Ember in the Ashes series would be going out of print in hardcover, so I had to order them before then. Unfortunately, book three was already gone, so I'll have to order that one from a used retailer. Ugh. But, I'm glad I finally have these. I've been putting off reading this series for some weird reason, even though I think I'll love it. Now's my chance. I'll probably wait to buy book three until I finish book one though, just in case I don't like the series.
And for the last of the physical books, I have the Waterstones edition of Cruel is the Light by Sophie Clark. I preordered it because it was pretty, and I have no self-control, obviously. My preorder of Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros arrived as well. Like most copies that have shipped out, mine managed to get a bit warped. I don't care as much as some people, since this isn't a series I collect editions of, but I really wish Red Tower would stop rushing their books and take their time so there are fewer production issues.
And lastly, I have the ebooks. Worthy of Fate by A.N. Caudle is a Kindle Unlimited book that I downloaded because the author is going to ApollyCon. I downloaded a free copy of The Lost Siren by Raven Storm on Kindle as well. No idea if it's any good, but it was free, and I like free books.
Well, that's all for me. What books have
you bought/received lately?
