✨ hauls ✨
Still did pretty well on my book ban! Most of these were pre-orders from before the ban, or monthly book boxes which I don’t count towards my ban. I still can’t believe I found that copy of Dowry for $10! And B&B was a late night Target run because I was desperate to read it and my eARC’s formatting SUCKED. 😂
- A Dowry of Blood // S.T. Gibson (Fairyloot edition, used bookstore find!) (READ)
- Voyage of the Damned // Frances White (Illumicrate)
- What Feasts at Night // T. Kingfisher (B&N pre-order)
- A Fate Inked in Blood // Danielle L. Jensen (Fairyloot)
- Sunbringer // Hannah Kaner (Illumicrate)
- Butcher & Blackbird // Brynne Weaver (Target) (READ)
- The Terror at Miskatonic Falls // Kevin Lucia (pre-order from publisher)
- To Cage a God // Elizabeth May (Illumicrate)
