Book Haul #65

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!

Ooooh, this has been a good week for books! But a bad week for Internet access, yet again I've spent the best part of two days without any Internet again thanks to my service provider. I've not even been able to pick up any of the local wi-fi hotspots for some reason so have had plenty of time to do other stuff like read! Luckily I drafted this on Tuesday so at least there's something on the blog this week, I've added this bit using my phone and it has taken a looooong time... On the bright side it was library week this week and I may have gone slightly overboard with my requests, and they all came in at the same time!

Book Haul #64

If this post looks a bit funny it's because I've written it on my Kindle for the first time!

Another book haul post... My outstanding ability to buy books continues although for once I haven't gone crazy and I do have a few review books as well! I posted my first monthly round-up post on Thursday and whilst I posted links to my book haul posts I didn't say how many books I'd bought. I think maybe I need to name & shame myself and share the total, it could well be the one thing that stops me from hitting buy/download quite so often! And look, Dark Days! After waiting patiently for this one by the lovely Kate Ormand it would have been rude not to get it when it popped up on Edelweiss earlier this week!

Bought

Eric | Sourcery | Mistwalker

Review - Edelweiss/Netgalley

Dark Days | The Night Gardener | The Well's End

Review - from the author

Thrall - Jennifer Quintenz

Review - from Bloomsbury

Mutant City - Steve Feasey

Doesn't that ARC look fantastic? That's the front and back covers for Mutant City, out in May this year. Steve Feasey was looking for volunteers on Twitter to review it and I put my hand up as the synopsis sounds great. Thank you Bloomsbury!

Book Haul #62

All I can say about this week's incoming books is oops! I was so good, I even resisted half of these titles on Edelweiss for nearly a month but they've been calling to me... And I may have gone slightly insane with the old download button... But on the other hand, I have Cress!!! Now I just need to read Cinder and Scarlet! I'll also admit to already owning a copy of Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson but at over one thousand pages the thing is darn heavy, especially in bed when you're trying to read under the quilt because it's so cold. I completely blame Shadowmagic on my brother-in-law, if he hadn't mentioned it in an email I could have forgotten it was on my wishlist and left it there for another year or two. Instead I forked over the princely sum of $1.63/99p for a copy, just don't tell my sister!
