I think I've finally recovered from ApollyCon, though my wallet and the bruise on my leg from my book cart don't quite agree. I'm not lying when I say I spent way too much money on books this month. Well, way too much money in general. Other than that, I've been working, going to the gym, and reading. That's about it. Life is boring again, and that's okay.
For this week's haul, I have a book I didn't expect to get any time soon with a photo that has my thumb covering the important parts of the book. It's the deluxe, sprayed-edge version of God of Malice by Rina Kent. After my Walmart order of this book was canceled and I searched reseller sites for it to no avail, I thought I'd never get my hands on the first book in the series with the matching edges. But some kind soul on on a Facebook reseller group page found a couple of copies in her local store and offered to send them to people. I immediately commented SOLD, even though I, once again, have spent way too much money on books this month. But now, the set matches and I can do a full read of the series physically versus via ebook. I don't know why, but that's the way my brain wants to do it, even though the entire series is on Kindle Unlimited and that's how I read the fifth book originally. (It's a series of standalones, so I purposefully skipped to book five.)
Next up, I have a Kresley Cole No Rest for the Wicked print from Rosie Scribbles. I actually won this in a giveaway that I'd forgotten I'd entered on Instagram. Rosie gave me the option of this print or one from A Hunger Like No Other. I couldn't decide because A Hunger Like No Other is the first book in the series, and I love it so much, but I also really like this artwork too. So, I let Rosie decide for me, and she sent me this one. Yay for not making hard decisions! And thank you, Rosie! Also, my print did get wet because of the torrential downpours we've had over the past couple of weeks, so it's kind of misshapen now. Lol.
And lastly, I have the ebooks. Both are KU downloads. The first is Forged in Blood by Sadie Kincaid. The reason I downloaded this is because there's a LitHaven sale for a special edition happening right now, and it's very pretty. I'd like to see if I like the book before I buy, though. I also got A Love Most Fatal by Kath Richards. This was a random TikTok recommendation that I decided I should immediately download. We'll see how soon I get to it. Ha ha.
Well, that's all for me. What books have
you bought/received lately?
Ooh nice! Yay for getting your hard to find book! That's always a relief! I remember how many, many years ago I was talking to a person at a book event and somehow got on the subject of Maria V. Snyder and how I wished I had bought the hardcover of Poison Study but now it was out of print and she had one at her store (used) that she would sell me for a bargain! Years later I found another at HPB, so I bought that one too just because my first one was signed to another person which I totally didn't mind at the time, but when you find another bargain at HPB for an OOP favorite it's hard to pass up! That one I did get personalized to me later on! Lol.
