I had two preorders arrive this week - something I rarely do. However, the price was good and Amazon has been good about getting new books delivered on their release dates. I don't know why that's so important to me - it's not like I read them on that day! Still, it's exciting. Of course I had to get a copy of Sleeping Beauties and it's so expensive in the stores so at least Amazon was almost $13.00 cheaper. Also, couldn't resist adding Scooby Apocalypse Vol. 2 to my shelves.
I ordered a new release on mu Kindle. Not making any excuses - I just wanted to. I featured The Ravenous on a Can't Wait Wednesday feature earlier this year. Does anyone else think the girl on the front looks like Lena Dunham?
And of course there are a couple of review books. I'm thrilled to get Weave A Circle Round and The Murders of Molly Southbourne from Tor. Also, I've seen some good comments on The Tethered Mage so I'm hoping I find it good as well. These come out in October and November. \
So what exciting books did you add to your shelves this week???
Oooh! I can't wait to read the Ravenous!!! I hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my Stacking the Shelves!
Ronyell @ Rabbit Ears Book Blog and join in this week’s Recommend Me This! Saturdays!
I've been waiting for it forever. Hope I can make time to read it soon!
Deleteoooh, I just found out about the murders of molly southbourne and I am sooo intrigued by it! Also, I am liking the tethered mage cover, because well, it's about flying and being untethered, so it has piqued my curiousity big time
ReplyDeleteI hope both are good. The Murder of Molly Southbourne is a novella so it shouldn't take long to get through. I love birds on the cover of things!
DeleteI hope to get a few horror books looked at next month but I have a few books to finish first. I suppose politics and Game of Thrones could both count as horror...!
ReplyDeletePolitics right now are definitely horror here in the US!
DeleteI may break down and buy Sleeping Beauties this weekend, I'm very excited about it. I also have to buy The Murders of Molly Southbourne since I can't figure out how to download those @#$%& Tor.com e galleys😐
ReplyDeleteIt's such an expensive book. That's why I preordered it from Amazon. It was the cheapest place I found plus I have free shipping!
DeleteI love the covers for Sleeping Beauties and Weave a Circle Round. I hope you enjoy your books and have a great weekend. - Katie
ReplyDeleteThanks Katie!
DeleteYou have a lovely selection there, as The Tethered Mage looks excellent too:). I hope the coming week is a good one for you.
ReplyDeleteThanks, the weather right now is gorgeous and I'm in the middle of a good book so both mean it should be a good week!
DeleteThe new Stephen King book looks good. I have only read a couple of his books. I may have to give this one a try. I look forward to your review.
ReplyDeleteI love so many of his works. I know some people just stay away from him. His last one, Gwendy's Button Box, is a great read and is novella length. I'd recommend trying it if you want to dive in.
DeleteGreat haul! The cover of The Tethered Mage is gorgeous! I hope you'll enjoy all the books you got! Have a great week and happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lynn!
DeleteI've been hearing about The Tethered Mage, and it looks like something I would enjoy. I hope you like it. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to be getting a lot of hype right now.
DeleteI featured The Ravenous earlier this year, too, and YES to Lena. I'm excited for Sleeping Beauties although I've only finished one King book my entire life. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteOne King book? Not a big fan of his? I can't wait to read The Ravenous.
DeleteTethered Mage has a very pretty cover. I'll have to look into that one.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new books, and thanks for visiting Shell's Stories!
Thanks for visiting The Farm.
DeleteSo many spooky books! I hope you enjoy them all.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
Spooky books are always good!
DeleteI am curious about Sleeping Beauties. Enjoy your week, and thanks for visiting my blog. I love pumpkin spice things.
ReplyDeleteMe too - pumpkin everything (except pizza - I heard someone mention pizza).
DeleteWoah, the cover for Weave a Circle Round is so amazing!
ReplyDeleteKim's Wrap-Up
It is an awesome cover!
DeleteI'm excited to read Weave A Circle Round. I hope we both enjoy it! That cover is so beautiful :)
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
One of my favorite covers this year!
DeleteI'm regretting not pre-ordering Sleeping Beauties. :(
ReplyDeleteWell, you can still go out and grab it now!
DeleteThat's a very nice haul, Barb! And Sleeping Beauties look so good. I haven't read a SK novel in ages, because they just plain scare me too much o.O
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week ahead and happy reading.
Lexxie @ (un)Conventional Bookviews
You should try Gwendy's Button Box - his last one. It's novella length and it isn't really scary but I loved it!
DeleteScooby Apocalypse looks so cool :D Scooby was one of my childhood favorites! Didn't know they were still releasing that stuff.
ReplyDeleteAnd I added way too many books, considering how little I read in September! Oh well :)
Have a great October!
I will ALWAYS love Scooby!
DeleteI cannot wait to see what you think of Sleeping Beauties! And oh my gosh, I need to look into that Scooby series!!
ReplyDeleteYou should. The art is awesome.
DeleteHope you enjoy your latest haul of books!
ReplyDeleteThanks Yvonne.
DeleteI do want to read Scooby Apocalypse, looks fun! I even saw Vol 1 I think it was at Barnes & Noble. I shoulda grabbed it...
ReplyDeleteIt was a sign - you should have grabbed it!
DeleteWeave A Circle Round has a great cover and title. Have to check it out. I'm sure I'll eventually get King's new book. I like to but the hardcovers of his books. And I adore Scooby Doo!
ReplyDeleteI have to have hardcovers of his too. Everyone can use some Scooby in their life!
DeleteI got f Sleeping Beauties on my night stand too! I'm looking at it horrified because it's SO MASSIVE! a book like that for a reader with a chronic DNF condition like mine it's like a casket for a claustrophobic! LOL!!! I think I'm going to wait for you to read it first and post your review and convinced me to read it LOL
ReplyDeleteTo me it's not a real King book unless it's massive!
DeleteOkay I have never heard of Scooby Apocalypse. I need to check that out as a scooby lover.
ReplyDeleteI'm very curious about The Murders of Molly Southbourne; I'll have to check that out at some point. Hope you enjoy the new books!
ReplyDeleteI don't often pre-order books either, and, like you, when I do, I get excited. And then I don't read them right away. Oh well. At least we have them on hand when we are ready to read them. All of your new books sound good! I've been wanting to read The Tethered Mage. Enjoy your new books, Barb.
ReplyDeleteGreat stack of books this week! I haven't read a lot of King but just added it to my Book of the Month box and am looking forward to it. Ravenous looks great! I look forward to your review!
ReplyDeleteHaha I love that you NEED the books on release day even though you don't read them. I only do ebook preorders, so those just show up on my kindle, and the books I love enough to preorder, I usually do read that very day :-P
ReplyDeleteLOL I totally get the need on release day. Even if it's just to be able to pet the new arrival :D
