Book Haul and Books Read (Precious Cargo, The Ever After, Shrewed, Laura & Emma)

Book Haul (Precious Cargo, The Ever After, Shrewed, Laura & Emma)

Welcome to Mailbox Monday/Stacking the Shelves. I'm happy to be sharing my new books. This Mailbox Monday was started by Marcia and hosted here. Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga's Reviews.

Last week, I didn't pick up too many books but I am excited about the books that did come into my house. These are all eBooks, since I mostly read on my Kobo. I purchased one book, and the three others are digital advanced reading copies.

Purchased

Precious Cargo by Craig Davidson

The Ever After by Sarah Pekkanen
Shrewed by Elizabeth Renzetti

I read two books, and started a third.

Book Haul, Mailbox Monday, Stacking the Shelves




I have another book haul that I would like to share with you. I will also be linking to the Mailbox Monday and Stacking the Shelves weekly posts. This week is a round up of books purchased through Kobo*, Advanced Reading Copies and a library book. 

Books Purchased

American War by Omar El Akkad
Brother by David Chariandy
The Golden House by Salman Rushdie

Advanced Reading Copies

Alternate Side by Anne Quindlen
Red Clocks by Leni Zumas

Library Books

The Hate You Give by Angie Thomas

I'm picked up American War since it is on the shortlist for Canada Reads. I'm hoping to get through all the books on the list but I'm not sure I will. Brother was on the longlist and it was on sale through Kobo, I couldn't resist. I'm really hoping to get to Red Clocks soon because that book has been so buzzed about. I hope you have a great reading week!

Mailbox Monday (The Marrow Thieves, The Debutante, Son of a Trickster, 13 Reasons Why)


Welcome to Mailbox Monday/Stacking the Shelves. I'm happy to be sharing my new books. This Mailbox Monday was started by Marcia and hosted here. Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga's Reviews. Last week, I had 7 new books enter my home, really it was my ereader... I read exclusively on my Kobo. This seems like a good mix of books, which is what I like.

The Marrow Thieves by Chertie Dimaline (Library) 
The Debutante by Kathleen Tessaro (Purchase)
Son of a Trickster by Eden Robinson (Library)
13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher (Library)
Dangerous Crossing by Rachel Rhys (ARC)
The Baby Plan by Kate Rorick (ARC) 
Anatomy of a Scandal by Sarah Vaughan (ARC)

The Marrow Thieves is from my library and I'm so excited to read it. It was shortlisted for Canada Reads 2018. It sounds like an interesting read, and I'm hoping to get to it in February. Dangerous Crossing is also on my tbr this month. It's a new release and doesn't that cover just draw you in? I'm really curious about that one. I was happy to receive Anatomy of a Scandal because I've been trying out more thrillers and finding that I really like the genre.

Mailbox Monday

Hi Everyone,

I hope you all had a great reading week. My reading has been slowing down, because I'm getting ready to move and renovate. So, I may need to take a blogging break in a few weeks. I'm hoping to have some reviews scheduled for that time, but I won't stress about it. I'll just wait and see how it all works out.


Have a great week everyone! Happy reading!

I did receive one review book this week:

A Rural Affair by Catherine Alliott

I did buy a few ebooks this week, but not many...

Belles by Jenn Calonita

Die for Me by Amy Plum Ebook Special

Legacy by Katherine Webb Ebook Special
