I think it is safe to say I have a serious problem. lol. May’s book haul was my biggest ever. I bought quite a few books while in Boston, so many I almost had to buy more luggage to carry them back home. I also received some special editions I’ve been waiting on for a while, and I may have splurged on another B&N trip. Book Outlet had another sale, which added even more to this pile, and several publishers reached out to me about physical ARCs that I couldn’t pass up. I’m going to be quiet now and just get to the books because this post is already going to be long enough…

Are any of these books on your TBR? Have you read any of them? If so, let me know in the comments!
I love the Melissa Caruso trilogy and can’t wait to read Midnight Kingdom and Traitor of Redwinter.
I hope you enjoy all of these
Thanks! 🙂
Big Art of Prophecy fan here. I suspect you’ll like Howl’s Moving Castle here.
I’m really looking forward to Art of Prophecy. I got the Broken Binding special edition, and it’s gorgeous. I did love Howl’s Moving Castle. It was such a fun story.
Oh my, you weren’t kidding lol. I’ve heard good things about The Bruising of Qilwa, that’s on my list to check out! Happy reading!
Yeah. I wasn’t kidding. I went way too wild in May. Lol. I got a beautiful edition of The Bruising of Qilwa in my Rainbow Crate box, and it does sound really great.
Wow! This is a lot of books! I’ve heard of a few of them and read two of them (Misrule and The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea). I’ll have to check out some of the others! 🙂
Yeah. It is definitely a lot. lol. I hope you enjoy any of them you decide to pick up!
I could use your book haul lists as rec lists…and I do and did, lol. Just added those two medieval nonfic books to my TBR. I considered buying James Islington’s book yesterday, but my library is just too good (except they still haven’t bought the two books I requested months ago lol)…they seem to have most new things and with essentially no space left, I had to pass.
I had Will of the Many from the library, but didn’t finish it before it became due. There are multiple holds on it. So, I decided to go ahead and buy it rather than put another hold on it. I’ve enjoyed the first half. It’s just such a long book it feels like it’s taking me forever to get through it.
I’m glad I could help stack your TBR a little more. 🙂
