I continue to pump the brakes on ARC acquisition as I work on catching up, but a few things still managed to somehow end up in my hands. How did they get into my ARC pile? Who hit the NetGalley request button? Who can say, it certainly couldn't have been me... I've linked all covers... Continue Reading →
Monthly Book Haul: March 2024
Small haul this month as I'm starting to pump the breaks on my ARC requests after realizing just how many I have stacked up to read in the coming months. But some of the ones I DID acquire elicited some SHRIEKS of delight when I realized I had them in my hands. Really looking forward... Continue Reading →
Monthly Book Haul: February 2024
Strap in kids, I had an absolutely insane ARC haul this month. But look, not a book purchase in sight! I'm so proud of myself. (Note: 24 hours after I finished writing this post, I went to B&N and got some books. In my defense, the one book I'd been stalking at local bookstores finally... Continue Reading →
Monthly Book Haul: January 2024
Welcome to the first book haul of 2024! I'm pretty proud that I made it through the month without buying anything new - and the universe rewarded me with a few free books I discovered in various donation bins! And of course, some lovely looking ARCs made their way into my hands as well. So... Continue Reading →
Monthly Book Haul: December 2023
I'm officially not allowed in a bookstore for at least six months. I'm usually fairly restrained about my purchases, as I have plenty of unread books at home that need attention, so I usually just pick up one or two things at a time as a little treat here and there. But I embraced the... Continue Reading →
Monthly Book Haul: November 2023
Well, the time of me not buying books is apparently over for now. I had a couple of splurge trips to my local B&N, both for holiday sales and just to have a pick me up after a rough week, so my shelves are now fully stocked. Plus, the 2024 ARCs just WILL NOT STOP... Continue Reading →
Monthly Book Haul: October 2023
The 2024 ARC have started to pour in! That's partially because February 2024 is an INSANE release month, and I've decided to just embrace it and let myself go a bit wild with my requests. (Was I also at a Star Wars bar when I made that decision? Who can say.) On the flip side,... Continue Reading →
Monthly Book Haul: September 2023
Very small haul this month, but I think that's actually for the better, as it means my reading is finally outpacing the number of books I acquire! (Seriously though, the fact that my TBR pile is finally going DOWN instead of up is a relief). As you can see, no purchases this month, as I... Continue Reading →
Monthly Book Haul: August 2023
The fall ARCs are starting to roll in, but even more shockingly, the 2024 ARCs are starting to arrive as well! I truly am having to have some tough decisions about what I'm requesting on NetGalley right now; February 2024 in particular is an absolute deluge of good looking books. So what hit my shelves... Continue Reading →
Monthly Book Haul: July 2023
July has definitely seen an absurd number of books be added to my shelves. I recently did a post covering all the books I acquired while attending San Diego Comic Con; this post is about everything else! I made a couple of purchases at an indie bookstore that had a mix of new and used... Continue Reading →
