We're almost to the middle of July already. Holy cow! The first few months of the year felt like they were crawling by, but now, everything is flying by. I'm planning on taking a staycation soon too, and I'm so excited for it. Life has been insane and I need some time to relax, clean my house, and just be a human being again, not a computer for eight hours a day.
As for the books I received this week, I have more than I thought I would. My Ink Pages editions of From Blood and Ash and Kingdom of Flesh and Fire arrived. They're very pretty. I have no idea where I'll put them, but they're pretty, and that's all that matters. I'll figure out the rest later. I also just went through and organized my FBAA artwork, now I have to open it all back up to put these new pieces away. Some may make the shelves though, like that Poppy bow print. I love that one.
Next up, I have a book I didn't intend to get. I signed up for Allurial to get the Dhampira book last month, but I didn't want it to renew for July. I guess my renewal date is at the end of June, not the beginning of July like I thought, so I ended up having to pick out of their three options. I chose The Mortal Trials by Megan Shunmugam as one of the other titles didn't interest me and the third is a FairyLoot pick so I didn't need two copies. I also received my FairyLoot edition of Broken Dove by Dani Francis. While I'm still kind of bummed that the color palette of the cover is so similar to book one, it is a nice design and I plan to read the book soonish. Hopefully.
Here, I have two Barnes & Noble preorders: The Exquisite Torment of Loving Your Enemy by Brigitte Knightley and Tempting Venom by Rina Kent. I also have a Blackwells preorder of What Fury Brings by Tricia Levenseller for the UK paperback. Now, I'm hoping the UK hardcover of the sequel/spinoff book will match the first book's UK cover and not this one, but I'm not sure at this point and I'm honestly too afraid to ask. I don't love this paperback cover. It's not terrible, but I'm definitely glad the US version is completely different. Out of all of the books hauled today, I have read four of the seven, which does make me happy. I really need to stop buying so much. My ban was a 100% failure, so I'm not sure what'll happen from here on out. My self-control is nonexistent.
Well, that's all for me. What books have
you bought/received lately?
