It’s the end of another month, which means it’s time to talk about my haul for the month!

DIGITAL REVIEW COPIES:
I had some really bad mental health days and went on an absolutely ridiculous e-ARC requesting/downloading spree. It is what it is. I almost didn’t even post my eARC haul this month because I feel so guilty over how many I acquired, but I’m trying really hard not to beat myself up, and I figured some of you might be interested in seeing them…? (And, in my defense, a lot of these were offered to me without my requesting them, which totally doesn’t make it any better, but in my brain, it does. ???)
Anyways, effective this week, I’m going back on an ARC ban! I’ll probably have a post coming out in the next week or so with the details on that, because I’m actually planning on making myself a list of strict rules I have to follow re: ARC requesting/accepting.

May 6, 2020Wow, that’s a LOT of books! I also over-request when I’m having bad days. Net Galley makes it so easy to do.
I am waiting on A Collection of Dreamscapes right now – I just read Sng’s first collection, and she is so good!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
May 6, 2020It really does! I’m glad I’m not alone. And I’m so glad you liked Sng’s first collection! I haven’t read it yet but if I like Dreamscapes, I’ll definitely have to check that one out as well. 😀

May 6, 2020I love Happily Ever After & Everything in between, it’s just so light, cute and fluffy- exactly what I need! I’m about to start the Crossroads at Midnight and I’m excited!!! I’m in a mystery/thriller/horror mode for the past few months, I don’t even know why ?
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
May 6, 2020It was very sweet and fluffy! Oh and I hope you like The Crossroads at Midnight!
Laura Beth
May 6, 2020Enjoy all of these! The only book I’ve received in the last month or so was a gift from a friend, which is my copy of The Ocean at the End of the Lane. I’m excited to finish it!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
May 6, 2020Thank you! Aww, that’s so nice! 😀 Enjoy!
Laura Beth

Ohh I love amnesia!! Well, watching it anyway XD I have both of them with machine for pigs and erm.. I still haven’t completed the first one.. ahaha — after a few minutes I get just so terrified ..
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
May 6, 2020Hahaha sorry for your TBR! ?
I never get scared of books or movies, but man, games are so much tougher for me to get through! ? They put me on edge so much!
Kristina

Ellyn
