Book Haul #45


Stacking the Shelves is a weekly event hosted on Tynga's Reviews and Letterbox Love is a UK edition hosted by Narratively Speaking. Here we can share what new books we've picked up this past week. There are also lots of other 'book haul' memes out there for you to choose from!

A much better week this week health-wise along with a short visit to my sister for babysitting duties have got me feeling much better. I was even well enough to go see a gig I had tickets for with Seth Lakeman, Lisbee Stainton & Winter Mountain which was completely amazing! And the fun doesn't stop there, tomorrow I'm off to Bath to see Patrick Ness (again) and Sarah J Maas - more about that next week :) It was a quiet week started off as a quiet week for books, just a couple - very restrained, which descended into an 'I'm sure I didn't order/request these books' week... It was a very exciting week though as Titan have finally re-released the second book in the Blood Wine Sequence, A Dance In Blood Velvet by Freda Warrington. I do have a copy already but it's a very dilapidated paperback copy which will probably fall apart if opened again and up until now you were lucky if you found it used for under $100!

  3. I've never heard of A Dance In Blood Velvet or the author before, but if it was costing £100, that could be why!
    And you got Discount Armageddon & Midnight Blue-Light Special! I actually just reviewed MBLS last week, I think those two are some of my favourite of Seanan McGuire's books, I really hope you enjoy them.
