Another week in October is over. Boo. It's just going by too fast. I have so much I want to do before the end of the year, and there isn't enough time to get it all done. Like my reading goal. I'm at 85 books read this year. I think... I'm on track for 100 books read, but there are so many I didn't get to. I know I can still get to them in 2027, so it's not a big deal, but a part of me is disappointed I didn't read them in 2026. I'm a mood reader, though, so I can't push myself to read something that's not calling to me unless I'm forcing my way through a review copy. And that's not ideal either.
As for the books I received this week, I have a lot of pretty editions. And thankfully, none of these are adding new books to my TBR. Mostly because I own an edition of all of these already. I've also read two of them before. Blood & Steel by Helen Scheuerer is the new UK hardcover edition of the title. I wasn't sure about ordering this one, but I do like it. I also accidentally ordered two copies. I was wondering why Blackwells was charging me $60 for a hardcover. I just thought stupid tariffs had gone crazy again. Now, I'm going to have to try to sell the other copy. I also received three FairyLoot editions. The Shadows That Listen by Louisa Carmody is one of the books I've already read before. I do like this edition, but I'm also eyeing The Locked Library one as well. Not that I need three copies of this book. But I might... The other one is The Exquisite Torment of Loving Your Enemy by Brigitte Knightley, which I just hauled an Illumicrate copy of last week. And then, my Adult sub book for October was Tempest by Victoria Aveyard, which I have the regular hardback of. And then, last, but not least, I have the new Dark Fae paperback from Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti. I'll talk about that more below.
Up next, I have a couple of DVDs. I preordered Heated Rivalry season one from Barnes & Noble, but I got Spirit during a random Walmart trip. I was there to return something and so, as one does, I perused the books and the cheap DVDs. I ended up finding the new paperback edition of Dark Fae on the shelves, which prompted me to cancel my B&N preorder, since those kept getting pushed back. I figured it'd be nicer to choose the condition of the book I got from the store anyway. So I got that and saw Spirit for $5 and went for it! I love this movie so much, so I'm glad to finally have a copy of it.
Well, that's all for me. What books have
you bought/received lately?
