Bimonthly Book Haul

It’s time to take a look at all the books I’ve managed to get my grubby little hands on these past few months. It’s been a while, but I’ve been pretty good about not going overboard with my book purchases. I’ve actually now run out of room on my so I’m trying to be selective, and I’ve been reading pretty slowly lately so I don’t want to get to overwhelmed!

Bought

Alright, there are so many illumicrate editions in this particular haul. I went a little mad, picking up their gorgeous editions of The Love Hypothesis and The Atlas Six alongside my usual montly subscription. The standouts for me from this particulat haul were The Secret History for its incredible contense, and The Doloriad for its unhinged cover that looks even better in person.

eBooks

I actually didn’t buy that many eBooks this month! I ended up caving and buying House of Sky and Breath on release day, the hype on book twitter got to me and I couldn’t resist. The others I picked up while they were kindle deals…I’m a sucker for a good discount.

No advanced reader copies this month! I’m on a self-imposed request ban until I write up some of the reviews I have notes for, so we’ll be staying away from netgalley for a little while.

February Wrap-up ’22

Well hello there we’re somehow in March, and I’m a little scared at how fast time is moving! My focus this month has been on improving my massive mental health dip in January, and it’s still a work in progress, but I’m feeling a lot more like myself and less like a bag of mulch pretending to be human. I’ve been leaving the house more often, even if it’s just to go and lift things at the gym, and it’s really helped me feel just a little better.

Blog-wise, I managed to actually post in February which was lovely. I posted less than I’d hoped, but I’m still pretty happy that I managed to post at all.

What I read in February

Only three books in January! House of Sky and Breath was an unsurprising banger, and no spoilers, but I’m very excited to see where the next book goes. Iron Widow and A Lesson in Vengeance on the other hand just didn’t work for me; I’m still disappointed that a dark academia with lesbians, and mech fighting with a poly relationship didn’t work for me.
