First up this week is a physical book I ordered as a "reward" for my first week without soda. I found it at Abe Books for $3.00 and free shipping so I'm thinking that may say something about how good/bad this book is. I have heard mixed reviews but my library hasn't gotten it yet and I'm pretty curious. It even arrived in good shape,
Next I grabbed some freebies and a few paid for books from Amazon. "Girl with the Clockwork Cat," "Mutts Like Me," "Wicker Hollow," and "Paper Scissors Death" were all free. I pre-ordered "Asylum" for $2.99 and it finally arrived and another blogger recommended "Good Guys Love Dogs" and it must have been at a weak moment because I immediately went and purchased it.
Finally I received the following for review. I loved "The Demonists" and am thrilled to have the second in that series, "Dark Exodus." I honestly don't remember requested "Reincarnation Blues" but apparently I did. Finally, I couldn't resist "Little One" - bring on the horror! Plus it's a WV writer and the book includes a WV location.
What did you add to your shelves this week and have you read any of these? Which ones should I read first???
Nice haul! I really like the cover of Asylum, I'll have to check it out! Have a great week and happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI kind of fell for the cover as well.
DeleteOh dear I see a cat! Booker T is not going to like it! I haven't read any of these but I like some of those covers especially Mutts like me. I'm all about apocalypses, horror and urban fantasy this week! Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteI think I've managed to slip this one by him. I really want to make time for some urban fantasy. I love it so much but it seems to be the least of what I read.
DeleteOh no you didn't... a cat! Reincarnation blues looks and sounds amazing -- how oculd you forget that ;) Just kidding, I forget the stuff I request all the time too lol
ReplyDeleteThat's what happens where there's too much you want to read!
DeleteLots of cool looking books - enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by The Farm Emma.
DeleteLots of awesome looking books. I hope you enjoy them all. Have a wonderful weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteWell, it's now Monday and the weekend was busy, but at least we didn't get all the storms they were calling for - just lots and lots of rain.
DeleteGreat deal on The Black Witch, I have this book and haven't had a chance to read it yet, hopefully soon. I thought about getting Asylum but I'm not sure yet, but I do like the cover. A lot of great books this week, I hope you enjoy them and have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteI've seen such mixed things about it but really wanted to give it a chance. Thanks for stopping by!
DeletePaper Scissors Death cracks me up! And The Girl and the Clockwork Cat looks kinda good- although that cat looks mean! And Little One- eek does look scary. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the dog on the cover. I've always wanted a Great Dane but they are so big and their life expectancy is so short I know they would break my heart!
DeleteI didn't know they had a short life expectancy. What a shame, they're such beautiful dogs.
DeleteCurious to hear what you'll think of Reincarnation Blues! I was tempted to request that one, but too much on my plate already.

It sounded like a unique read so I couldn't resist. I know the too much on my plate feeling all too well.
DeleteOooh, what is Little One?! I sure love a good haunting. I can't wait to hear what you think of that one.
ReplyDeleteI am thrilled to have it and look forward to it as well. I love that it takes place in WV.
DeleteOooh! Girl with the Clockwork Cat is one I meant to read! I love that cover. So many pretty new reads :D
ReplyDeleteI see you managed to grab it too. Hope we both enjoy it. Shhhh, don't tell Booker T about the cat!
DeleteGreat haul! I don't read a lot of horror, but sometimes they work for me. Thanks for sharing, and here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
ReplyDeleteI love horror and have really been enjoying it lately.
DeleteCongrats about the haul and have a nice reading week :)
ReplyDeleteThanks tons Evelina.
DeleteOhhh, Dark Exodus, I need it! :) Didn't know the second one was out for review!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your reads!

It really slipped by me too. I stumbled across it on Goodreads accidentally when doing a TTT post, ran to Netgalley to see if they had it, and got an approval the next day. I'm really excited for it!
DeleteWow! That's a lot of good books you got there! The Asylum looks like an interesting read!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my Sunday Post!

I was really drawn to the Asylum cover for sure!
DeleteGreat haul! I still need to read The Demonists. I hope you really enjoy the second in the series as much as the first. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely pick it up. Tons of people seem to love it!

ReplyDeleteOMG I CAN'T WAIT to see what you think of Black witch!! CANNOT CANNOT! And I HAD to add The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls! The blurb sounds so good! OH man why are they taking so long to tell me if I got Dark Exodus or not??? LOL
ReplyDeleteLook at all those great books...you even have a kitty in the group. I picked that one up too. Enjoy them and have a great week!
ReplyDeleteLots of great books there! Enjoy your reading this week :) Congrats on giving up soda! I haven't had it in years. I've had to brainwash myself its poison and it is sooooo bad for you, that the only way I keep myself out of temptation lol

First of all -- way to go as you break your soda habit. That's awesome. I am curious to hear your thoughts on The Black Witch because of all the controversy surrounding it. Enjoy all your new books!
