Here's my haul this week! It was a good week with lots of new goodies. Whenever will I read them all?

Kindle:

Mate (Bride #2) by Ali Hazelwood

One of my most anticipated books to publish this year. I know what I'll be doing this weekend!

The Crimson Throne (The Crimson Throne #1) by Sara Raasch and Beth Revis

I enjoy these authors and their compilations are fun. I'm looking forward to a good fae story!

Alchemised by SenLin Yu

I have seen this everywhere. I have seen mixed reviews. I know she wrote Manacled. I have it. I haven't read it yet. I also got the Fariyloot copy of this (which is gorgeous; see below). It's really long. Not sure when I'll get to it.

For No Mortal Creature by Keshe Chow

I'm a sucker for a pretty cover. I've been reading quite a bit of Asian folklore as of late. Some I love, some I cannot get through. Fingers crossed for this one!

Alchemy of Secrets by Stephanie Garber

Haven't read anything from this author yet but have heard good things. So I grabbed this one. Hope it's good.

NetGalley/Edelweiss/Publisher-Tour Company:

The Goat in the Bedroom (The Cocky Kingmans #5) by Amy Award

This series is silly but I love the body positivity that it brings. And the animals. This one also delves into LBGTQ+. So far I'm liking it.

The Girl in the Lake by Lauren Oliver

I've long been a fan of Oliver. I haven't read anything by her in a while, though. This one was a read now on NetGalley. I hope I enjoy it.

Bought:

A Forbidden Alchemy (A Forbidden Alchemy #2) by Stacey McEwan

I got to read this one early (see my review HERE). I really like McEwan. And this copy is gorgeous, so I needed it in my life. Still on the search for the first two books in her Glacian series!

In the mail:

Once and Again by Rebecca Serle

I've read almost all of Serle's books early. I enjoy her magical realism. I do have this one on Kindle but this showed up in the mail (I don't even remember requsting it). Looking forward to it.

Never Every After by Sue Lynn Tan

Alchemised by SenLin Yu

Both of these are my monthly Fairyloot subscription books. They are gorgeous and are looking fantastic on my shelves!

Libby/Hoopla:

Every Spiral of Fate (This Woven Kingdom #4) by Tahereh Mafi

I have a Kindle copy by my hold from the library became available and I jumped on it. I'm almost done and I can already tell Mafi is going to wreck me with this one.

Soul Searching (Sweetwater Peak #1) by Lyla Sage

Another one I have on my Kindle but it became available for audio so I jumped on it. I've really liked Sage's books so far so I'm sure I'll enjoy this.

People Watching by Hannah Bonam-Young

I hope I like this on audio. I tried this author's other books on audio and much preferred them in print. I do have a Kindle copy of this one if audio doesn't work out!

Little Free Library:

Haunting Adeline by H.D. Carlton

I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson

I have a bunch of books I want to donate to the local little free libraries. Today I hit up four of them and found two I could take away (and left a few behind). One day I'd like to have my own LFL!

What did you get this week?
