So I didn't have a haul last week because I was on Booker T duty. However, that doesn't mean I didn't accumulate any books. So basically you're getting the 2-week version here. First up I had to pick up a few holds from the library. I've been curious about "You May Now Kill the Bride" and have heard good things about "Scream All Night" and both were new library additions so I grabbed them. Same for "The Cheerleaders." I've had "Providence" requested on Overdrive for over a month and it just now came in as well.
I also received a book I ordered a few weeks back. I ended up finding it on Thriftbooks. I've wanted "Blood Cruise" forever it seems and since it wasn't available for Kindle, I had to go searching.
And finally, it seems the review books have been pouring in #sorrynotsorry
"Murder by the Book" and "Seances are for Suckers" are starts to new cozy mystery series. I've heard good things about Taylor Jenkins Reid and "Daisy Jones & the Six" works in the 70's music scene so I was all over that one in a heartbeat. "The Bus on Thursday" is described as Bridget Jones meets the Exorcist so I couldn't resist #StormiMadeMeDoIt and look at the cover on "Carnival of Fear." Finally, "What You Hide" is a thriller.
So what did you add to your shelves this week???
Blood Cruise is still lurking on my ereader waiting for me to squeeze it into my schedule! Ooh I hope you enjoy Carnival of Fear!
ReplyDeleteI hope it's good and that I haven't set myself up too high about it. I love the cover of Carnival of Fear. Have you read it?
DeleteYou are *so* going to be busy catching up on all this goodness! I am curious about how the cozies go -- am looking for something lighthearted!
ReplyDeleteYou should give a cozy a try. I think it would hit the spot.
DeleteI also got The Cheerleaders out of the library but haven't started it yet. I love TJR and am excited to read Daisy Jones!
ReplyDeleteI keep meaning to read The Seven Husbands... I haven't heard anything negative about it!
DeleteI love the cover for Blood Cruise! Also I've heard good things about all of your library books, so I'd say you made some good choices😁
ReplyDeleteIt was definitely a good library haul. I grabbed some good CD's too but I usually don't share them here.
DeleteI still need to read Providence. I do want to try Taylor Jenkins Reid but am really trying not to request anything until I can get a bit caught up. I hope you enjoy all of these, Barb!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to start Providence next weekend.
DeleteLooks like I found some new books to check out. I need to make a trip to the library. I'll take a big tote bag. LOL
ReplyDeleteYes, ALWAYS take a tote to the library.
DeleteThe Cheerleaders is on my list and I hope to get to that one soonish.
ReplyDeleteI love the opening 2 sentences. That's as far as I've gotten.
DeleteThe R.L. Stine is a perfect library borrow - I wouldn't say it was anything great, but it was fun and the nostalgia was amazing. Scream All Night was fun too, another great one for a library pick. Super curious about Blood Cruise, I've had my copy for weeks but still haven't found time to check it out, but I like the idea of a cruise ship horror.

I'm in the mood for some fun horror which is why I've grabbed it.
DeleteAhh, your post reminded me that I too have to read Scream All Night. It's been on my TBR for so long.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy all of your new books :)
My wrap-up: https://flippingthruthepages.com/2018/09/weekly-wrap-up-1/
I've heard great things about it!
DeleteI do love Taylor Jenkins Reid, and now I'm off to check out Daisy Jones & the Six...as I love 70s music.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week, and thanks for sharing. Here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
70's music rocks!
DeleteThese all look fantastic! I hope you enjoy them all! :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week, Barb! Happy Reading!
Thanks Michelle - I'm sure I will.
DeleteI enjoyed The Cheerleaders, although I liked her last book a bit more. I am looking forward to Daisy Jones. What in the world does Bridget Jones meets The Exorcist look like? I can't even fathom what that would be about. Happy reading!

Crazy right? I'll have to check out more of that author's works since you liked them better.
DeleteI've been eyeing Daisy Jones & the Six. I hope you like it. Have a wonderful week. 🌞
ReplyDeleteI actually thought of you when I first saw it.
DeleteYay for new reads. How's the boy doing this week?
ReplyDeleteHe's doing awesome. Just needs to get stitches removed this weekend.
DeleteI enjoyed Providence. I'm very curious about Scream All Night. I've heard good things, too.
ReplyDeleteMe too and I'm glad to hear you liked Providence.
DeleteMurder By the Book and Seances are For Suckers are both on my wishlist. They look good and I always enjoy new cozy series. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to stay away from new cozy series.
DeleteScream all night. That title will grab ya.
