So it's been another fairly big book week. I actually got a few used books in the mail from Thriftbooks but since I sent a gift to a friend, I can't show them yet because she might guess what I sent her and we can't have that! So let's start off by showing you what I got for review.
"When Animals Attack" sort of reminds me of last year's "Paperbacks from Hell" but for movies so I'm really excited to get started on it. I've been wanting to read "Witchmark" since I first saw it and although Tor.com sent me an copy, I have huge problems with their download system so I requested it on Netgalley and am glad I was finally approved. I think "Heroine's Journey" sounded good, but alas, it's #3 in a series so I gotta get my hands on the first two. Finally "The Moor" was too good to pass up being horror and everything.
I also had to drop some books off at the library, which of course means new books. The sad thing is that as soon as I left, last night I got an email that some requests were in #MurphysLibraryLaws.
I really couldn't resist either one and have heard some good things about "Reign of the Fallen."
What did you add to your collection this week????
Ohh, I want to read Reign of the Fallen! As for me this week, a friend sent me a copy of Emergency Contact! I cannot wait to dive into that one. I hope you have a wonderful week!

I love the cover of Reign of the Fallen and may save it for my science fiction challenge (as you can do fantasy too).
DeleteHmm The Moor looks interesting, and wasn't there a show once called when Animals Attack? Notrhing to do with the book I know, but that title sounds so familiar. I remember when the Discovery Channel or maybe it was animal Planet used to have shows like that, I remember one called Fangs that always cracked me up. :) Or "See Why We Call Them Animals!" Ha!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
I do remember that show now that you mention it!
DeleteMaybe you'll have better luck with the Heroine Complex series, I didn't like the first book at all so I am not planning on continuing. It's hard to believe it's book 3 already though, time sure flies! And I have to say, this series does have some excellent covers.

I think it's the cover that attracted me. So much going on and such colors. Hope I fare better with it too!
DeleteNice haul. I really enjoyed When Animals Attack. I think you will too.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, if you liked it, I'm sure the odds are in my favor!
DeleteI still need to read Reign of the Fallen. The Moor looks really good as well. It seems like all of my library requests tend to come in at the same time. This week I had movies come in...and no power to watch a movie with. That is just the way it goes.
ReplyDeleteHopefully you can get the movies again soon!
DeleteSo typical that you get the call about the books after you leave the library! I still wish we had decent libraries in my area-they used to be so good before they started charging for everything! Now it's yearly fees for book and music tickets, fines, payment for requests!
ReplyDeleteI'm so lucky to have such awesome libraries. I really do count my blessings in that area.
DeleteOh my god, the cover of Reign of the Fallen....LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it awesome!
DeleteYou got a great haul and I am really curious about The Moor (does it's cover remind you of a book we didn't enjoy? Hope that doesn't mean anything...lol)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and happy reading!
Stormi
YOU ARE RIGHT! It's almost exactly like The Hunger. OH NO!!!!!
DeleteI think Berls read the first of Heroine's Journey. I love the cover of those books. I also heard Reign of the Fallen was a good book. I am interested in seeing what you think.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great week, Barb! Happy Reading! ox
I've definitely heard good things about Reign of the Fallen and haven't heard much about the other series. Hope it's good!
DeleteYay for getting books in the mail! But ahh, that sucks that you got the email about your library books *after* you dropped off the others.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that how it always happens though?
DeleteAw...you are such a nice friend. Happy reading.

Thanks Sherry!
DeleteI love the cover of The Doll Funeral. I’ll have to look that one up. Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
I've heard mixed things but hey, it's a library book so I'm not out anything!
DeleteGreat books and week! Thanks for sharing...and for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteReign of the Fallen looks so good. I'm going to have to get a copy of that at some point.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week. - Katie
Sounds like you had a really good haul this week!
ReplyDeleteAnd maybe you can tell us which books you got from Thriftbooks when you sent your gift to your friend ;)
I love the cover of Witchmark! I was going to request it on Netgalley, but I saw the word "romance" and ran away. Ha ha. 😉 I hope you are having a wonderful week. 👍
ReplyDeleteReign of the Fallen looks seriously good - I wish we could always judge books by covers - I hope you enjoy your new treasures!
