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!
- *** Yuri is My Job! #1 — Miman
- adult romance manga; this is a yuri manga about… a cafe where the waitresses pretend to be schoolgirls? I don’t know, the synopsis actually sounds pretty sketch, but a lot of the reviews made it sound great!
- * Immunity — Erin Bowman
- YA sci-fi/horror; OH MAN. I loved Contagion so much and I can’t wait to get back into this world!
- *** Hitorijime My Hero, Vol. 1 — Memeko Arii
- adult romance manga; this is a yaoi story between, I think, a gangster and a high school teacher falling for each other.
- *** Gleipnir, Vol. 1 — Sun Takeda
- adult horror manga; I only requested this because it’s horror and the cover looked neat, but it gets pretty bad ratings, so we’ll see.
- *** The Quintessential Quintuplets, Vol. 1 — Negi Haruba
- YA contemporary manga; this one just sounded super fluffy and cute, and I love the art style on the cover.
- *** 10 Dance, Vol. 1 — Inouesatoh
- adult romance manga; a yaoi manga about a dancing competition!
- No One Here is Lonely — Sarah Everett
- YA contemporary/sci-fi; when Eden’s crush dies, she’s able to keep talking to him through a company that uploads people’s voices, emails, and interactions to create an AI of them after they pass away.
Digital Review Copies:
- * Full Disclosure — Camryn Garrett (october 2019)
- YA contemporary; this is a story about an HIV+ teen dealing with life and bullying in a community that misunderstands her entire existence. I’ve been dying to read this and am probably going to go ahead and pick it up ASAP!
Kindle Purchases/Freebies:
- Nothing this week!
Physical Purchases & Gifts:
- DEV1AT3 — Jay Kristoff
- YA sci-fi; I haven’t finished my eARC yet (oops), but that didn’t make me any less excited for my pre-order to show up.
Library & Kindle Unlimited Borrows:
- Everyone’s a Aliebn When Ur a Aliebn Too — Jomny Sun
- adult graphic novel/comic; I don’t even know how to class this. it’s just panels of really precious, wholesome little comics and I’m very excited.
- Shout — Laurie Halse Anderson
- YA nonfic; LHA’s personal assault survival story, told in poetry. Oof, let me prepare myself for this one.
- Goldie Vance, Vol. 2 — Hope Larson
- YA mystery graphic novel; I wasn’t going to rush to pick up volume 2 until I remembered we had gotten 1-4 to add to our collection at work, so why not?
- Outer Order, Inner Calm — Gretchen Rubin

June 29, 2019I am also very excited to read Full Disclosure! I love when books dive into topics that are “taboo”.
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
August 25, 2019Yes, same! It’s so important that we have books talking about stuff that nobody really WANTS to talk about (like HIV).

August 26, 2019I am also looking forward to Unpregnant, which is about abortion! I have review copies of both of them and I am looking forward to seeing how they deal with these topics.
Destiny @ Howling Libraries

Destiny @ Howling Libraries
August 25, 2019Hahaha I’m not gonna lie, the narrator is freaking perfect for Feyre!
Malka @ Paper Procrastinators
June 29, 2019I read a premise that sounds really similar to No One Here is Lonely a few weeks ago! It sounds like it will be a heart-wrenching read! And Everyone’s a Aliebn When Ur a Aliebn Too is super cute! I hope you enjoy reading it!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
August 25, 2019Everyone’s A Aliebn was so precious! It made me cry a few times just over how wholesome and sweet it was. I kind of want to get a copy and wallpaper a wall with the pages just to inspire myself. ?
