I've been a bit MIA from the blog lately, so if you don't see me commenting as much, apologies. I'll be back soon, hopefully. Life is just... life. Nothing bad is happening, I just feel like I need a two-week nap, ya know? Other than that, everything is fine. Work is picking up, which isn't great, but it's good for job security. Ha ha. It does mean more stress, though, unfortunately. But, on to the books because that's what everyone is here for.
For books I got this week, I have more than I thought I would. My Arcane set of the Bridge Kingdom series arrived. It's very pretty. I also have way too many sets of these books. I need to decide which ones I actually want to keep because three is a lot. I think I'll make a decision once I actually read the last two duologies in the six-book series. That will likely be closer to when the last book releases, I think, especially since I'd like to reread the first two books before diving into the rest of them.
Up next, I have something I should have received a month ago. That is my June FairyLoot Romantasy book, Rose in Chains by Julie Soto. My copy just never shipped for some reason, and getting ahold of FairyLoot these days is a nightmare. It takes like an entire two weeks for them to respond. But, after a crazy amount of back-and-forth, I finally got my book.
Here, I have a mix of books I got from various places. The Fallen & the Kiss of Dusk by Carissa Broadbent was a Barnes & Noble preorder. I still haven't read the first few books in this series, but I do plan to binge it one day. I also got Check & Mate by Ali Hazelwood from my sister. She didn't want her copy any more, so she gave it to me. Moon Called by Patricia Briggs was a random book I picked up from the used bookstore. I used trade credit, so I didn't even have to buy it.
Next, I have some PrettyGal Pins/Jemlin cards. This is the Of Flesh & Bone deck for Harper L. Woods' ongoing series. I only read book one, but I enjoyed it a lot, so when PGP announced this deck would be at a convention, I was interested, but I decided to pass as 1) I wasn't going to the convention, and 2) I loathe the fact that they do exclusive convention decks, which means people have to arrange for pickups or miss out entirely. Well, the convention date got closer, and I was having FOMO, so I arranged for someone to pick these up for me, and here they are.
As for ebooks, I have a decent amount this week. I requested Our Rogue Fates by Sarah Glenn Marsh on NetGalley, and was approved the same day. Right before that, I'd been notified I was approved for We Who Will Die by Stacia Stark. Woo! And from Kindle Unlimited, I downloaded Psycho Beasts, book three in the Cruel Shifterverse, by Jasmine Mas. I also downloaded book two in the series, but I've already read and returned it to KU, so I didn't feel the need to include the cover. Plus, I'm mad at this series, and I just kind of want to forget about it. I will be unhauling my physical copy of book one soon.
Well, that's all for me. What books have
you bought/received lately?
Oh nice haul! Crazy about your FL Romantasy book though. Crazier that they took so long to get back to you and get something worked out. They are usually a bit better than that or at least they used to be. It's a pretty cover though. I still need to read it myself! The Bridge Kingdom books are pretty too! I still need to read the second duology myself.
