Another week where I’ve been a bit naughty! I have just adjusted my book budget to take other stuff into account, though, so I had the leeway. Thankfully. I hate failing at any challenge! But first…
For review
It was listed as just a preview excerpt, but what I downloaded seems to be the full file. I am immensely excited about this one. My review of The Just City is actually (finally) going live on Monday!
Bought
A friend bought me An Ember in the Ashes to comfort me about the election results! A couple of the others were on sale on Amazon or something like that. Aside from Sabaa Tahir’s book, they’re all paperbacks; for some reason I’m not really in the mood to read on my ereader at the moment, much as I love my Kobo.
Library
I got a couple of others, but I’ve featured them here before; I just grabbed ’em from the local library while I’m visiting my parents, to reduce the amount of books I had to haul across the country!
Comics
Yay so many comics! Boo that my pull list is now costing me £10 some weeks. Whoops.
I really want to read Court Thorn Of Roses! Lot’s of nice books to your shelves! Happy reading.
I’m partway through it at the moment, and enjoying it quite a bit! It’s an interesting world. Thanks for dropping by.
I have A Court of Thorns and Roses on my TBR. I also have An Ember in the Ashes on my TBR – but I have heard so many mixed views on it! Happy Reading
I’ve heard a lot of good things, so I’m staying hopeful! Thanks for dropping by.
She is a pretty good author – so hopefully! 🙂
The Just City didn’t catch my attention for some reason, but it’s been very well reviewed. Darwin’s Lost World looks like an interesting read.
I love pretty much all Jo’s work, but some of it appeals more than others. I struggled with The Just City initially too. She writes in so many different genres/styles…
I pretend to feel guilty about my book buying but I don’t feel bad at all! I don’t smoke or drink, I don’t go out to pubs or clubs or bingo or anything. I don’t buy bags, clothes, jewellery or perfume. My only expenditure is books and I DON’T CARE!!! *grins*.
Heh, I wish I could feel so carefree! But though I’m in the same boat and books are my only indulgence, sprees like this are more than I can really afford.
I’ve got The Girl At Midnight but I’m yet to read it yet. Oops! 😀 Story of my reading life… I hope you enjoy your books!
I had it to review, too! Sometimes I just feel guilty and end up buying the book because I took so long about it, heh.
Awesome haul. Love that cover for The Girl at Midnight. And I so want to read A Court of Thorn and Roses. Even though I am more of a DC fan I do read some Marvel, including X-Men, Hulk, and lately Ms Marvel. I just started reading Ms. Marvel and found it interesting so far, but we see if I continue. But thanks for sharing and hope you have fun with your new reads.

I’ve had trouble really getting into DC, so I’m the other way round — there’s a few I follow/ed (Batgirl, The Movement, Batwoman), but mostly I read Marvel.
I have given up feeling guilty about what my book buying. If You Enjoy your books, you get the enjoyment out of them. A Court of Thorns and Roses was excellent. Yay for Comic books.
Grace @ Books of Love
Heh, it’s more that I just don’t have the money to do this.
Been looking into A Court of Thorns and Roses, and love your comic collection. Awesome STS.

It’s intriguing me so far! Thanks for dropping by.
I loved Cruel Beauty!! I’m also looking forward to reading An Ember in the Ashes. I have it but I haven’t started it yet. Great list this week!
Shannon @ The Tale Temptress StS
I’m looking forward to both of them! Thanks for commenting.
Great haul! I got a Court of Thorns and Roses last week and I can’t wait to start reading it. Happy reading!: )
Krystianna @ Downright Dystopian
I’ve juuust started on it. It’s intriguing so far!
fantastic collection! Cruel Beauty lives up to it’s title and lovely cover. Read it last month and loved it! An Ember in the Ashes and Girl at Midnight are both on my TBR. Love that comic cover for Thor! I hope you enjoy all these. Happy Reading!
Here are my newest additions.
I’m looking forward to all of them! Thanks for dropping by.
I loved Cruel Beauty. I listened to it last year. 🙂 I’m reading Crimson Bound right now.

Second Run Reviews
Good to know! I’m excited for it.
Hopefully I’ll be able to get to A Court of Thorns and Roses soon. And I hope you’ll enjoy The Girl With All The Gifts, that was one of my favorite reads last year!
I’ve started ACOTAR. I’m enjoying it so far!
Huh, I can’t wait to see your reviews on these books, as I recognize pretty much none of them.
I do love Ms. Marvel, but oof, comics are expensive! Some weeks I try to talk myself into one of their other titles (I’m especially tempted by Spider Gwen, tbh) but since I don’t know how good they are, I don’t really want to spend the money.
Quite a few of them have a lot of buzz at the moment! Crossing fingers that they’re good.
Yeaaaah, I know the feeling. I’d be more on the fence if I didn’t have the disposable income. But as it is, I want to tell Marvel ‘hey, those lady comics? yeah, gimme more’, heh.
These are all new to me, except some of them I have been seeing around. Enjoy! Thanks for sharing…and here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
Some of them have been very popular lately, I know! Thanks for dropping by.
Love your new pile!
Especially Thorns and An Ember in the Ashes! Happy Reading!
I’m looking forward to them very much!
Wow, fabulous haul! I read both ACOTAR and Ember, and LOVED them both! I really want to read The Girl with all the Gifts too, it sound so good! Hope you enjoy all of these, and have a fabulous week!
I’m looking forward to them all! Thanks for dropping by.
