Physical Review Copies:

* requested before my ARC ban went into effect
*** graphic novels are an exception to the ARC ban since they’re such quick reads and I don’t request many of them!

  • * SLAY — Brittney Morris
    • YA contemporary; a black girl MC who’s a gamer/tech whiz? Sign me up!
  • * Salvation Day — Kali Wallace
    • adult sci-fi; I love a good virus story and it’s set in space!
  • * Splinters are Children of Wood — Leia Penina Wilson
    • adult poetry; a Samoan poet who’s written a collection of poems about life as a woman
  • *** Bloom — Kevin Panetta
    • YA contemporary graphic novel; an m/m story with baking and cuteness~ This one’s been out for a few months, but I got a late review copy from Amazon Vine this week.

Digital Review Copies:

  • * Permanent Record — Mary H.K. Choi
    • NA contemporary; I liked Emergency Contact a lot and I’m really excited to see how much Choi has progressed in this new release about a pop star and a college kid trying to keep their relationship a secret
  • * The Mythic Dream — Dominik Parisien & Navah Wolfe
    • adult SFF anthology; HOLY SHIT I AM SO PUMPED FOR THIS AAAAHHHH! It’s a collection of short stories that are all myth retellings, and it includes some serious gems in the author lineup, like my 2 favorite short story writers, Seanan McGuire and Alyssa Wong ????
  • * Almost Home: Poems — Madisen Kuhn
    • adult poetry; despite consistently being disappointed by most of the trendy social media poets’ poetry collections, I keep coming back to them… hopefully this one is good!
  • * Color Outside the Lines — Sangu Mandanna
    • YA contemporary anthology; a whole collection of stories about interracial relationships ♥♥♥ It also includes some super notable QPOC authors like Anna-Marie McLemore and Adam Silvera!

Physical Purchases & Gifts:

  • Wicked Fox — Kat Cho
    • YA fantasy; I’ve been dying to read this new book about a gumiho — a Korean nine-tailed fox — and I’m so excited to have won this in a giveaway on Goodreads!
  • The Luminous Dead — Caitlin Starling
    • adult horror/sci-fi; Owl’s had me SO PUMPED for this that when they asked if I’d want to join a group read for it, I finally caved and bought a copy (and I’m starting it tonight)! It’s set in a cave and sounds atmospheric (and claustrophobic) AF, which I’m very much in the mood for.
  • Wild and Crooked — Leah Thomas
    • YA contemporary; speaking of Owl, they sent me this — thank you, squish! ♥ A teen girl who is the daughter of a famous murderer is trying to hide who she really is from people, until she meets Gus, a guy who is known not only for his cerebral palsy, but also for being the kid whose dad was murdered. *gasp* Dun dun dun…
  • Keep This to Yourself — Tom Ryan
    • YA mystery; another gift from Owl! ♥ I’m spoiled. All I’m gonna say is this is a gay thriller that sounds SO GOOD, and then I’m gonna nudge you towards Kal’s review for it!
