I am writing this post super early, so the week hasn't even really started yet. By the time it goes up, I'll have taken my trip to DC to see Jennifer L. Armentrout during The Primal of Blood and Bone Barnes & Noble event. And, by the time this goes live, I may or may not have included the stuff I got during my trip. I get back Friday evening, so if I have the energy, it'd be great to post everything. But, I'm saving myself some effort, just in case I'm too tired to function. XD
As for books, there are a few I got over the weekend that I wanted to share so next week's haul isn't as insane. I got Scythe by Neal Schusterman from my local used bookstore with trade credit. I just traded in some older copies of books I'd replaced recently. I've heard a lot about Scythe, so it's been on my radar for a long time. I was kind of waiting for a less yellowy cover, though. The covers of the series aren't bad, but I'd prefer a white or black background versus that cream yellow background.
Up next, I have my FairyLoot copies of The Ashfire King by Chelsea Abdullah and Metal Slinger Rachel Schneider. Metal Slinger was the Romantasy sub box pick for September. I know some people aren't impressed with the cover, but I kind of like it. Granted, I haven't read the book yet, so I have no idea if it matches the actual story's vibes. As for The Ashfire King, this book has taken way too long to release. I'm going to have to do a reread of the first one before getting to this. I also don't know if it's a duology or a trilogy, so I need to do some research.
Oh, and before I forget, I did preorder the Kindle edition of The Primal of Blood and Bone, so I should have that by the time this post goes up. I'll be reading it on release day. I took off the entire day to do just that. Matter of fact, that would be all I'd be doing that day if I didn't also have to pack for my trip.
Well, that's all for me. What books have
you bought/received lately?
Ohhh very nice! I read Scythe years ago and it was a good series! Granted I never read the novella/short story collection that came out a few years ago. Mainly I didn't want to add it because my trilogy was signed by Neal! Lol and I thought I'm good with where we left things! I've been seeing Metalslinger around a lot lately and am curious. The cover is definitely different from the OG so I'm curious as to who this person is too!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great time at the event! I am so incredibly behind in this series I don't know if I will ever get caught up. The books are so long and I read so slow! Lol.
Happy Reading!
My StS will be up tomorrow, so stop by then if you can!
Have a GREAT day!
