This is what I got this week. It was a busy book week for me!

In the Mail:

My dad had some American Express points so he got me a few books and then I bought a few for myself. I also got paperback copies of the other two Laurie Gilmore books in the series above but I forgot to take pictures of them.

NetGalley/Edelweiss/Booktrovert:

'Til Undeath Do Us Part by Ellie Palmer

I really love Ellie Palmer and I'm excited to see her jump into a little dark romance!

Enemies to Lawyers the Letizia Lorini

Love a good enemies to lovers book and the cover on this is so cute!

Not Your Typical Love Story by C.R. Averett

This was read now in the YA section and it looks cute! Haven't read this author before.

Murmuration by TJ Klune

Almost fell over when I saw this come through because Tor never approves me even though I keep trying! Someone told me to go play the lottery! LOL!

Wild Wicked Mate by Laurie Gilmore

I have the first re-release of this one to read so requested the second and got approved. I can't wait to jump in as I love Gilmore!

Libby/Hoopla:

The Whispering Dark by Kelly Andrew

I love Andrew's books so I'm going back to read the first two I haven't read yet. If you like Leigh Bardugo or VE Schwab, you'll enjoy Andrew's books!

Witcha Gonna Do by Avery Flynn

I got invited to the blog tour for the third book in this series. I'm doing a spotlight right now but if I like this one, I'll grab the second one and then read the first one through the widget I was sent.

The Tiger in the Sack by Amy Award

I got an ARC of this one after it was released and have not gotten to it. So I grabbed the audio in the hopes I can get to it and do my review since it's late!

Adversary to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer

Yes, I have the audio and Kindle version of this. I'm excited to see what this fourth installment brings!

Kindle:

Adversary to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer

I got this before the audio came through from the library. Maybe I'll do an immersive read.

The Lion and the Deathless Dark by Carissa Broadbent

I'm very behind in this series. I need to catch up as I do love it.

Eyes Like Stars by Ashley Poston

I'll admit I got this purely because it's Poston. I'm not a huge Star Wars reader (though I love the movies). Le's see what I think!

What did you get?

Check out the goodies I got this week!

NetGalley/Edelweiss/Bookstagram:

Light Up My Life by Kasie West

West's books are always a lot of fun for me. I'm building my holiday reads so this will go into that pile.

The Heart Trials by J. Elle

I read most of The House of Marione series from this author and it was just ok for me. But this one sounds really great. I hope I enjoy it.

The Price of Admission (The Edge of Everything) by Dustin Thao

Safe Harbor (The Edge of Everything) by Nicola and David Yoon

I have been waiting for these to pop up on NetGalley. I had the four other stories in this series from Amazon Originals and wanted to include these in my review. I already posted the review of the first four HERE if you'd like to take a look. Hoping to read this over the weekend and update that post.

You, Me, & The Conspiracy by Emma Barry

I was sent a widget for NetGalley for this title and also given access on Edelweiss. It looks adorable. I can't wait to read it.

Kindle:

Harvest Season (The Seasons of Carnage #2) by Brynne Weaver

I have put in for the audio of this one on Libby and I'm hoping for it to pop up sooner than what it says on the site. In the mean time, I do have the Kindle copy if I'm itching to read it sooner.

The Tiger In the Sack (The Cocky Kingmans #7) by Amy Award

So apparently I'm on the ARC team for this author. I was waiting for an opportunity to get this one early on NetGalley and never saw it. It published Tuesday so I was just going to wait for it through the library. Yesterday I got an email with the ARC! Kind of late since it's already published, but I'm looking forward to this story as they are really cute fluff!

In The Mail:

The Tarot Trials by Katee Robert

I haven't read anything by this author. I'm very curious about this one sent to me in the mail by the publisher.

What did you get?

Most Anticipated Releases Tuesday June 9, 2026

 

These are the titles I'm most excited about this week.

You Won't Forget Me by Mazey Eddings

I read an Eddings book last year and adored it. This one looks nice. I'm not usually a saphic lover but I really like the author's writing so I'm hoping I like this one.

Harvest Season (The Season's of Carnage Triology #2) by Brynne Weaver

I am enjoying Weaver's stories. I'm looking forward to seeing where the second book in this spin off series goes!

The Tiger In the Sack (The Cocky Kingmans #7) by Amy Award

I haven't seen much about this book. This series it cute fluff. I had read the last few as early reads but this one never showed up on NetGalley. I tried to find it in the library but it's not there. I'm hoping it will pop up because I've liked these books on audio.

Off the Record by Sara Goodman Confino

I've heard good things about this author so thought I'd give her a try. I got this one early and honestly, it wasn't really for me. The writing wasn't horrible but I just wasn't really into the story. It's historical fiction, which I traditionally don't love but sometimes I find one that just hits me right (hello Taylor Jenkins Reid!). You can see my thoughts HERE.

What are yours?

Check out all my goodies this week!

Kindle:

The Faraway Collection by Various Authors

The Far Reaches Collection by Various Authors

Inheritance Collection by Various Authors

I'm loving these Amazon short stories. I've been reading one a day since I started getting them. I'm on the Faraway collection now and have read the first three stories and love them!

The Dark Lord's Guide to Dating by Tiffany Hunt

I don't even remember where I saw this but it looks like a great read and I want to see how it is so I grabbed it!

The Slow Burn by Ali Rosen

I have read some shorts by this author and enjoyed them but have not read a full length book. This one was on my potential request for NetGalley but I didn't have time to request it for review. Looks good!

How to Train Your Groomzilla by Amy Award

This series is kind of my guilty pleasure. It's not great but it's fun to read and I'm excited to jump into this novella tonight!

In the Mail:

A Zoom With a View by Jess Cannon

I won this one through a newsletter email entry. It comes out in May. It sounds great!

Libby/Hoopla:

Grace and Henry's Holiday Movie Marathon by Matthew Norman

I have this one on Kindle and was going to save it until the holiday season but then it came through on Libby. Not sure if I'll get to it since I have three other listens in front of it.

NetGalley/Edelweiss/Booktrovert:

This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me by Ilona Andrews

I have this one on in print but I thought having audio would help me get to is, since I tend to put my print copies on the bottom of the review ladder.

Hollywood Hookup by Christy Swift

I have this one on Kindle but I love to jump back and forth if I can get the audio version. This one has a ton of narrators so I hope I can keep them straight. I also didn't love the first book I read by this author so I'm hoping she's grown somewhat with this one.

Still Into You by Erin Connor

Another one I have on Kindle and I'm jumping back and forth between that and this audio. I love Karissa Vacker as a narrator and I'm enjoying her for this one for sure. Should be done with this today!

In Stormy Weather by Chelsea Curto

The publisher sent a widget. I'm picky about which widgets to accept but this one looks like something I will really enjoy. Haven't read this author yet.

Big Stick Energy By Sarina Bown

BRING ME ALL THE SERENA! I read and reviewed the first book in this series and really enjoyed it. I love Bowen's writing. I was so excited when the publisher sent me this widget as it's on my most anticipated releases list!

Fossil Feud by Maggie North

Anything that reminds me of Indiana Jones gets put right on my list. Another widget from the publisher and I just could not resist!

These are my monthly Fariyloot books. So pretty!

Coldwire by Chole Gong

This was a Goodreads win! It comes out January 6, 2026. I don't think I'll get to read it before that, though!

Burnout Summer by Jenna Ramirez

This one is from Saturday Books. I've not heard of it but I love the cover so much. It comes out May 12, 2026.

Everyone Here is Lying by Shari Lapena

This came from a good bookish friend as a holiday gift. I've read only one other book by this author. I hope I enjoy this one!

NetGalley/Edelweiss/Booktrovert:

The Phone Swap by Lia Louis

I hemmed and hawed on this one. It was a read now on NetGalley and I already have so many books. but it looks so cute. And I usually really enjoy Atria romances!

Gifted:

An Archive Of Romance (A Study in Drowning Novella) by Ava Reid

My oldest bought this for me for Christmas. I love this series and got to read this one early. You can see my review HERE. This book is gorgeous inside. My only complaint is I wish it had the edges the other books in the series have.

Kindle:

Claimed by the Winter Realm by Aidy Award

This is Amy Award's pen name. It's part of the stuff your Kindle freebies available today. It's a Nutcracker retelling!
