August Haul: aaaaaall the graphic novels & manga

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

• Witchcraft Cocktails — Julia Halina Hadas (READ)
  • This is a finished copy I was sent after loving the eARC, and I’m so excited! I can see myself using this recipe book a LOT in the future, especially in the colder months with all the tasty cold weather drinks in here. ?
• Last Case at a Baggage Auction — Eric J. Guignard

I got quite a few eARCs this month, but almost all of them were either graphic novels, manga, or 100-pg-or-less novellas, so I don’t think I did too badly in hindsight!

• Witches Steeped in Gold — Ciannon Smart
• The Roommate — Rosie Danan (READ)
• Aster and the Mixed-Up Magic — Thom Pico
• We Are the Ashes, We Are the Fire — Joy McCullough
• Shelter for the Damned — Mike Thorn
• A House at the Bottom of the Lake — Josh Malerman
• Cradleland of Parasites — Sara Tantlinger
• The Way of the Househusband, Vol. 1 — Kosuke Ono (READ)

• Ever After — Olivia Vieweg
• Witches of Brooklyn — Sophie Escabasse
• Omni, Vol. 1: The Doctor Is In — Devin Grayson (READ)
• My Riot — Rick Spears (READ)
• Fangirl, Vol. 1: The Manga — Rainbow Rowell (READ)
• Odessa — Jonathan Hill
• Barely Functional Adult — Meichi Ng (READ)
• The Weirn Books, Vol. 1 — Svetlana Chmakova

Nothing this month!

All of the Jonathan Janz titles were books I already owned in ARC formats, but the publisher’s sale was for $5 hardbacks and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to buy finished copies!

• The Darkest Lullaby — Jonathan Janz
• House of Skin — Jonathan Janz
• Dust Devils — Jonathan Janz
• The Sorrows — Jonathan Janz (READ)
• Castle of Sorrows — Jonathan Janz
• The Siren and the Specter — Jonathan Janz (READ)

• The Henna Wars — Adiba Jaigirdar
• You Should See Me in a Crown — Leah Johnson (READ)
  • This was a PRE-ORDER that just now arrived… ? It was on backorder and then it sat at a post office near me for 6 weeks! Thankfully, I had read the eARC, so it wasn’t too upsetting to wait, but I am relieved it finally arrived!
• Disappearance at Devil’s Rock — Paul Temblay
• Fortuna Sworn — K.J. Sutton
• The Turtle Boy — Kealan Patrick Burke
  • This was KPB’s debut (I think) and was put back into print for the first time in a really long time!

Yo. SOOOOO many good ebook sales this month! Most of these were $1 or $2!

• The Beast of Blackmoor — Milla Vane
  • I’ve been wanting to read this series for what feels like forever so I finally bought the prequel!
• Tales from the Lake, Vol. 5 — Kenneth W. Cain
• Ugly Little Things — Todd Keisling

• From Blood and Ash — Jennifer L. Armentrout
• Summer of Salt — Katrina Leno

And a few freebies: 

• The Wrong Game — Kandi Steiner

  • This was technically $3, but I had a kindle credit and got it for free!
• Shallow Waters, Vol. 1 — Joe Mynhardt

I registered online this month for an out of state card to the Brooklyn Public Library so I could access the New York Public Library online system!

• Cheshire Crossing — Andy Weir
• I Want to Eat Your Pancreas — Yoru Sumino
