It's the weekend! Hallelujah! This week hasn't been bad, but it was still a lot. I'm ready to chill at home for a while. I have a lot of reading to catch up on, since I've mostly been coming home and scrolling on my phone. Plus, I've definitely been in a slump the past week. I finished one good book and now I'm just stuck. That's been happening a lot lately. It'll take me days to get over the good book and find something new to take over my attention.
As for the books I received this week, there's another pretty hefty stack. First up is a book I've been waiting to haul for like a month now. My replacement copy of Cursed Fates by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti. The first copy that arrived was very smashed, so I'm glad they replaced it. It just took time. My FairyLoot edition of The Dragon and the Sun Lotus by Amelie Wen Zhao also came in.
Here, I have two books from a Barnes & Noble preorder. Those include Tara Sim's The Dawn Throne and Caty Rogan's Kissed by the Gods. The Dawn Throne is book three in Tara Sim's series. I think the fourth book comes out this year as well, so I'll be bingeing the entire four books very soon. The other book is an international edition of Born of Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout that I ordered. I think it's Hungarian, but I'm not 100% sure on that.
Next, I have more international editions of the Blood and Ash series by Jennifer L. Armentrout. These are German editions... Maybe? Again, I'm really bad at keeping track of all my international editions. There are just so many of them. These aren't as impressive as I thought they'd be. The dust jackets are a bit flat and they weren't packaged with any bubblewrap or foam, so they kind of bounced around in the box. They definitely have the dings to prove it. I'm not sure if I'll order the next three books in the series. I'll have to decide soon, though. They're on sale now.
And the final physical copies in this haul are two books from Ariana Nash. I've been collecting Ariana's backlog and purchasing them via resale sites. I got these two on eBay. They're Primal Sin and Eternal Sin. I haven't read these yet, but I'm hoping to do so soon. These were only like $14 total, so I don't feel bad for breaking my book ban. It's really tough to get Ariana's books on secondhand sites, so I have to nab them when I can.
I have one ebook for this week, and it was a total surprise. I was approved for a NetGalley ARC of Captive Traitor King by Brigid Kemmerer! I did not think this was going to happen. I wasn't approved for book one, so I didn't have high hopes when I made the request a few weeks back. But on Thursday morning, I was approved! And it was amazing! I'll probably be picking this up soon, as I think it'll help with my slump.
Well, that's all for me. What books have
you bought/received lately?
