Life has been meh and woo at the same time. The world we live in is awful, and I've been doomscrolling too much, but the new Taylor Swift album mania has made things a bit happier. Because of both things, I haven't been reading as much. I'm hoping a weekend of TLC will help that. And by TLC, I mean just sleeping for like a full day with a bit of cleaning included. Not a lot of cleaning, just enough to make relaxing feel less guilt-inducing. I need some relaxation more than a clean house right now. Lol.
For books I received this week, I have something I shouldn't have got, but I did it anyway. It's the UK ARC of What Fury Brings by Tricia Levenseller. I did a trade with someone in the UK, but I had to pay for shipping, and it was just too expensive. I need to stop doing stuff like that. And thankfully, I have slowed down. I canceled some recent preorders, so I feel like that makes up for this by a very small amount.
Up next, I have two B&N preorders. The first is Bespelled by Laura Thalassa, which came in surprisingly early. I don't think it was supposed to ship until the end of the month. I also didn't get book one yet, so it's kind of weird to get book two early. The other book I received was Heartless Sky by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti, the seventh book in the Zodiac Academy series in the new foiled editions.
Well, that's all for me. What books have
you bought/received lately?
Oh nice! I would likely have paid for UK shipping too for one of those ARCs! They have the most beautiful ARCs ever! I always love that they are different than the finished copy but then I also hate it since I live in the US! Lol. So as a fellow collector, I'd say that was a worthy trade as long as you love the book already! Lol. Or plan to love it because that counts too!
ReplyDeleteThat's weird that B&N sent the book out early. I mean I know I've been seeing Briar Boleyn's book out early as well. My preorder just shipped for its Tuesday release and yet I've been seeing A LOT of bookstore pictures with it out already and that's just crazy. It's the bookstore pictures that always worry me for author sales and whatnot as I believe I had once heard that buying it off the shelf early doesn't go towards their shelves. But I think it's still okay with preordering...but still not super clear since obviously my credit card was just charged when it was shipped early, but I guess it still works because they always tell you about preordering helping them. I still need to read that Thalassa book too! I bought the first two off Amazon during their Prime day deals. It had been on my wishlist for awhile so I bought both because they were pretty cheap!
Hope you enjoy all of your lovely new reads!
My StS will be up tomorrow, stop by then if you can!
Have a GREAT day!
