  • Queen of the Conquered — Kacen Callender [adult fantasy]
    • The only surviving child of a noble family who was massacred by colonizers is rising up to get her revenge in a Caribbean-inspired fantasy. Kacen is a trans black author and I genuinely fully expect them to blow us all away with this book. ♥
      ✨ own-voice black rep! ✨

* doesn’t count against ARC ban (due to having been requested/accepted before ban, in a previous week, being unsolicited, or being a graphic novel, poetry collection, or otherwise “one-sitting” read)

  • * Dine with Me — Layla Reyne [adult romance]
    • FINALLY! I’ve been dying for this for months. It’s an m/m romance between a chef (who has just been diagnosed with oral cancer) and an oncology doctor/foodie. They go on a road trip, too? I dunno, I’m just dying to binge this. ?
      ✨ m/m rep! ✨
  • * nectar — Upile Chisala [adult poetry]
    • I looooved Upile’s soft magic., and I just know I’m gonna looooove this, too.
  • * All the Bad Apples — Moira Fowley-Doyle [YA mystery]
    • I loved Moira’s last release, Spellbook of the Lost and Found, but I requested this FOREVERRRR ago so I was kinda shook to get approved this week! It’s about a girl whose sister disappears and then starts sending mysterious letters claiming their family is cursed.

Physical Purchases & Gifts:

  • Fair Game & River Marked — Patricia Briggs [adult paranormal fantasy]
    • I found hardbacks of both of these at a used bookstore, in like new condition, for less than $3 each! They’re both further into their respective series than I currently am, but I couldn’t pass up the deal since I know I’ll want them later.

    • I really enjoyed Smile last week, so I had to get this one, too.
