The book haul of mostly February and March is quite a big one. As I mentioned on Twitter I am struggling saying no to review copies even though I am kind of overwhelmed. I want to say yes to everyone because I want to give everyone a fair chance, especially those that are self-pubbing. But I can’t always keep up. So that is my struggle at the moment. And I want to read all the other things too ~
★ The Painted Man (Demon Cycle 1) by Peter V. Brett
I got this second hand from Anderwereld. I’ve been curious about it but you don’t come across it very often.
★ Pirate Stew by Neil Gaiman. Illustrated by Chris Riddell = READ
I can never pass up anything illustrated by Chris Riddell as you know and the combination with Neil Gaiman is always a good one.
★ Daughter of the Moon Goddess (The Celestial Kingdom 1) by Sue Lynn Tan
This is such a pretty cover and I like the sound of the story.
★ The Cat Who Saved Books by Sosuke Natsukawa
In the same shopping trip as Daughter of the Moon Goddess and Pirate Stew I found this shiny one. And doesn’t it sound right up my alley?
★ In the Serpents Wake (Tess of the Road 2) by Rachel Hartman
As you know I am a big fan of the Seraphina duology and Tess of the Road so I was happy to see this was finally released. There was almost no buzz for it though unlike Tess of the Road and I think that is a shame. I hope to read it soon.
★ Sal & Gabi Break the Universe (Sal & Gabi 1) by Carlos Hernandez
★ Sal & Gabi Fix the Universe (Sal & Gabi 2) by Carlos Hernandez
I’ve only heard great things about this middle grade duology and it is from Rick Riordan Presents which I want to read all books from.
★ Crowbones (The Others 8) by Anne Bishop = READ
Yeay I finally got my pre order of this and reading it this week.
★ Stormchaser (The Edge Chronicles 5) by Paul Steward and Chris Riddell
I haven’t read or own any in this series yet but it is with Riddell’s artwork and I want all of those. I got it on sale for 5 Euro.
★ Gallant by V.E. Scwab = READ
After reading my E Arc I decided I wanted to get the Dutch edition of this book to reread and get a better feel for the book with all the drawings and illustrations. I think it looks better in physical form than in ebook form to catch everything though I enjoyed the story in ebook too. I’ll try and do a reel thing of this book on my bookstagram account and then share it in my march wrap up.

That’s a lot of great books! I do hope you aren’t overwhelming yourself with review deadlines, though. That’s one reason I stopped getting review copies of books way back when. It wasn’t worth the stress to me.

I’m trying not to . And I understand completely stopping. I’ve thought of doing that too but I haven’t been able to haha.

Ja die vind je denk ik wel entertaining.
Wat vond je van Gallant?

Ik vond de sfeer van het boek heel speciaal maar had aan het einde wel het gevoel dat de ontknoping iets te vlotjes werd afgerond.
