Interesting haul. The Unicorn Anthology and the Wives stand out to me the most. Should be some interesting reads for sure. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! 🙂 Sorry for the delayed response, ha. The Wives is one of my most anticipated reads – it just sounds so intriguing and I can’t wait to find the time for it.
What a great haul– tbh I’ve actually never checked out a “Stacking The Shelves” feature before even though I’d heard about it for years!! XD I’d actually just added Julie Murphy’s Dear Sweet Pea to my Goodreads recently! Awesome post!
Thank you so much! 😀 I hope you like Dear Sweet Pea when you pick it up!
I love the cover of serpent and Dove! Enjoy reading!

Serpent & Dove is soooo pretty! I low key hope I love it just so I can justify getting a print copy for my shelves ?
[…] all of this week’s highs are eARCs I was approved for last week, which were all detailed in yesterday’s Stacking the Shelves post. I’m only going to add synopsis blurbs for the ones that weren’t in that […]
[…] I tag; Kaleena , Sam , Alana , Destiny , Ilsa […]
Croquette & Empanada sounds so cute! I can’t wait for it to come out! And I didn’t realize Pilu of the Woods came out already! I have it on hold, but now I’m going to have to check if it’s on its way over to my library each day!
I know this is so late but it made me so happy again to see you talking about wanting to read Pilu of the Woods haha!
Again, The Wives….I need!!!
I’m so excited to pick up The Wives. I know it doesn’t come out until December so it’s been so hard holding back from reading it ASAP but I might cave in August!
?? yes do it!!
