July Haul: did I actually start buying physical books again?!

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

After months of very few or NO print ARCs, it feels so weird to even have this section in my haul again!

• Body Talk — Kelly Jensen
• Kushiel’s Dart — Jacqueline Carey
• Crossroads — Laurel Hightower (READ)
• Architects of Memory — Karen Osborne (unsolicited)

I did haul a few too many ARCs this month, but I still managed to stick to my ARC limitations, so at least there’s that? Plus, I got a few EXTREMELY exciting anticipated releases that I’m still screaming over. ?

• Kingdom of the Wicked — Kerri Maniscalco
• The Infinity Courts — Akemi Dawn Bowman
• When No One is Watching — Alyssa Cole
• The Project — Courtney Summers
• Remote Control — Nnedi Okorafor
• Dustborn — Erin Bowman

• Witchcraft Cocktails — Julia Halina Hadas (READ)
• A Gentle Noble’s Vacation Recommendation, Vol. 1 — Misaki (READ)
• There Are Things I Can’t Tell You — Edako Mofumofu (READ)
• Fangs — Sarah Andersen (READ)
• The Complete Grimoire — Lidia Pradas (READ)
• Daphne Byrne — Laura Marks (READ)

What do we all think of the new NetGalley audiobook program? I think the new app is pretty neat, but I haven’t seen many ALCs on there that I wanted yet — just The Switch, which I’m super excited to listen to! The rest of these are from LibroFM, as usual.

• The Switch — Beth O’Leary
• Empire of Wild — Cherie Dimaline
• This is My America — Kim Johnson
• The Voting Booth — Brandy Colbert (READ)
• Wicked as Sin — Shayla Black (READ)

I think this is the most I’ve bought in a while! 

• Fence: Rivals — C.S. Pacat
• The Lightning Thief: Illustrated Edition — Rick Riordan (READ)
• The House on Abigail Lane — Kealan Patrick Burke (READ)
• The Green Witch — Arin Murphy-Hiscock
• TRUEL1F3 — Jay Kristoff

I think this is the most excited I’ve been about my new Kindle store hauls in a while!

• The Bridge Kingdom — Danielle L. Jensen (kindle sale, $0.99)
• Tru Blue — Melissa Foster (kindle sale, $0.99)
• Worst Laid Plans — Samantha Kolesnik
• Graveyard Smash: Women of Horror Anthology
• Unboxed — Briana Morgan
• Chills — Mary SanGiovanni (kindle sale, $1.99)

And a few freebies: 

• Mask of Shadows — Linsey Miller
• New Girl in Town — Rebel Carter
• Forest of Bones — Jessie Thomas

Nothing this month! I’ve really been trying to focus on books I already own, so I don’t borrow much lately besides audiobooks of overdue review copies. ?

We finally got our Xbox One replacement in, and I’m so happy! I’ve added a “Game Pass Ultimate” section to this area, even though they’re subscription games and not permanent hauls.

• Xbox Game Pass Ultimate:
  • Forager
• Steam sales [PC]:

• Humble Bundle [PC]:
