Well, it's been a week. Work has been insane, and I'm definitely happy it's the weekend. I've had so much anxiety that past five days that I need time off before I have to do it all over again next week. Sigh. I really need May and June to be done. These have been the months from hell.
As for the books I received, there's a decent stack. Up first, I have my special author edition of Charissa Weaks's The Witch Collector. I preordered this a few months ago and was kind of regretting it afterwards simply because I have so many editions of this book. However, now that it's actually arrived, it's absolutely gorgeous! I think I'll be getting rid of my LitHaven edition to keep this one. The order also came with a couple of stickers and art prints.
Here, I have three books from different places. My preorder of the author edition of Kings of Anarchy by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti arrived. It's beautiful. I think I like these editions better than the Zodiac Academy ones they did. I also have The Entanglement of Rival Wizards by Sara Raasch, which I bought at an independent bookstore despite saying I was on a book-buying ban. However, it was both a pick-me-up for an absolutely crappy week and it provided a sticker for my indie bookstore entry since it was in a city I don't normally go to on a regular basis. But anyway, I've been wanting to read it for a while, so now I can. Oh, I also got my Barnes & Noble preorder of The Ballad of Falling Dragons by Sarah A. Parker. I've had this book preordered for like two years at this point. Wow.
These are my May FairyLoot subscription books. The Adult book is Deathbringer by Sonia Tagliareni. I originally liked this design when I first saw it posted online, but I'm not sure about it in person. It's fine, but I feel like it's not as dynamic as it could be. The Romantasy book is Verity Guild by Mai Corland, which has an eh cover. I do like the art under the dust jacket, though. It's very pretty.
And my final books are The Night Prince by Lauren Palphreyman and Fury Bound by Sable Sorensen. The Night Prince is the FairyLoot edition, which arrived with a bit of damage. I emailed FairyLoot, but I don't think it's going to qualify for a replacement. We shall see. Fury Bound is the Waterstones edition. I still have to decide if I'm going to keep the Waterstones ones or the US hardcovers. Ugh. Oh, and I also ended up getting a two-month Kindle Unlimited subscription for like $3. I'll cancel before it renews for full price, but I did download and read a couple of books. I also downloaded a bunch I haven't read yet. It's a bit overwhelming, so I'll skip sharing all that mess. You can see the ones I read in my monthly wrap-up when I post it in the next couple of weeks.
Well, that's all for me. What books have
you bought/received lately?
