NetGalley ARCs
...but in my defense, Pen and Sword always has books that just call to me no matter what else I am reading. So it's not really my fault. Dropped my ratio down to 88% thought 😭
Prime First Reads
Library Treasures
Happy Reading

Clan Battles of course. I've never read The Naturals. That first one though has a good cover...
ReplyDeleteBlack Coral a trip.
I am so excited for CLan Battles! Have you read The Inheritance Games? I can't remember if we've talked about that series, but it is the same author. I think you will like the series a lot. There's four novels and a novella.
DeleteI have not read those! Will go look them up. Seems like I've heard of them but I don't think we've discussed...
DeleteI loved Inheritance Games and book four is supposed to come out this year. I think I like The Naturals as much, if not more. I am picking up book four in that series tomorrow. Then the novella is last, I think. Except, the series was originally published in 2013 BUT a new edition was available on NetGalley for book one recently. The cover was new but I don't know anything else about it.
DeleteI also just read one of her stand alones, The Lost and Lovely. Am working on another stand alone, Every other Day, right now. Really decent reads, but I feel like a series is her strength, where she really gets to develop her characters. She also has a couple duologies that I have checked out from the library and will be getting to this week.
My poor, beloved non-fiction is calling to me, but I have trying to play catch-up with my Goodreads Challenge, and YA is a good way to do that.
I don't know if you saw but Nicole Willson (Tidepools) has a new horror coming out.
DeleteI didn't know! I looked it up and I can't wait. It's not on NetGalley, and probably won't be since it will be published in June. I am out of purchase requests at the library for the month so I have to wait until June to request they buy it.
DeleteCongrats on the 88% Netgalley reading completion. I wish I were that close! The Last Flight sounds suspenseful.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Before I went on this rampage, I was at 93%. I am kind of bummed it dragged me down so far, guess I better get reading!
DeleteBUT, it's been SO long since you got any Net Galley books, I think you are justified. And 88% is still awesome!! I hope you enjoy all of these. Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteI definitely needed this, I was feeling kind of awful about my ratio! Bookworm problems, right? And you are right, it has been AGES since I have snagged a big haul like this.
DeleteA standard 5 from me this week.

Thanks! I am excited to get started on them.
DeleteMy post seems to have disappeared Unless I was dreaming/posted it in the wrong thread... [ponders]
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sarah.
DeleteSpam folder strikes again. It's getting worse. I had 87 spam comments in my folder, all from between 2016-2019 in the last couple weeks. Most are mine. Fucking Blogger.
DeleteI read Last Flight last year and quite enjoyed it. Happy Reading.

I truly really liked it all the way through. But then after I finished it and thought about it for a while, I really disliked how she'd been saying her husband loved her in his own broken way, and it sounded too much like a justification for the abuse even if that's not what the author intended. Without those statements, without trying to conjur sympathy for him, the book would have been such a fantastic read for me!
