#PrideHorrorthon TBR (spooky + queer, sign me up)

June 25, 2020
/
Top 10 Tuesday

This post is cutting it a little close because I somehow missed the dates for this readathon until earlier this week, but as soon as I realized it was coming up, I didn’t hesitate to start working on my TBR! I need some good escapism right now, and few things provide that for me better than some great, diverse horror. The #PrideHorrorthon is an annual readathon hosted by Emily (@book.happy) and Alex (@findingmontauk1) over on bookstagram. This year’s readathon begins...

🍁 Autumn TBR 🍁

Tomorrow is the first day of my favorite season! I’m fully a fall person, always have been, and making my fall and October TBR lists is one of my favorite bookish planning activities every year. For this season, I decided to pick 3 top priority review copies and 3 TBR jar picks - and, of course, they all fit the spooky season vibes. 😏💀🎃👻

🤎 Horror Library, Vol. 8
🧡 Our Last Echoes
🤎 A Dowry of Blood
🧡 In These Hallowed Halls
🤎 Bloom

Thank you to the tagged publishers!

“They buried the girl next to her mother on the first warm day of spring.”

Happy birthday, RED RABBIT! Thank you so much to @tornightfire for sending me a copy. I haven’t read a lot of westerns but I’ve really enjoyed the ones I’ve picked up and I’m always looking for more to add to my shelves. I can’t wait to dive into this! It’s described as a “folk horror epic” and that sounds right up my alley this fall. Here’s the synopsis in case you’re as interested as I am:

“Sadie Grace is wanted for witchcraft, dead (or alive). And every hired gun in Kansas is out to collect the bounty on her head, including bona fide witch hunter Old Tom and his mysterious, mute ward, Rabbit.

On the road to Burden County, they’re joined by two vagabond cowboys with a strong sense of adventure – but no sense of purpose – and a recently widowed school teacher with nothing left to lose. As their posse grows, so too does the danger.

Racing along the drought-stricken plains in a stolen red stagecoach, they encounter monsters more wicked than witches lurking along the dusty trail. But the crew is determined to get that bounty, or die trying.”

I’ve been buddy reading the Crowns of Nyaxia series with @mistysbookspace and we’ve both absolutely loved them, so while we wait for the next book in the series, we’re going to check out this standalone set in the same world and I can’t wait! These books are all on KU but I’ve been splurging on the hardcovers because they’re so gorgeous (swipe to see the design under the jacket - it’s stunning!) 😍

@carissabroadbentbooks is killing it and I want to read everything this author has written!

QOTD: What’s a series you’re loving right now?

Today feels like a good day for some cozy reading with a sweet kitty or four. 🥰 Pekoe says hi! 🐈‍⬛

Happy release week to FALL OF WRATH AND RUIN by @jennifer_l_armentrout — AND happy launch week to @brambleromance! 🥳 This is so exciting! As someone who adores SFF romance, I've been eagerly awaiting the launch of the Bramble imprint since it was announced and I was ecstatic when they offered to send me a copy of this gorgeous new release. This will be my first JLA book and I'm beyond excited to finally experience the hype for myself! 😍

FALL OF WRATH AND RUIN is a fantasy romance set in a world once destroyed by gods, where the few remaining mortals are ruled by guardians who feed on mortal pleasures. Calista hides her blessing of intuition well, but when she finds a traveling prince in trouble, it guides her to save him—all the while, warning her that he'll be her ruin someday.

As promised, here’s my entire @barnesandnoble haul from last week’s bookstore visit!

Not to get too deep on main but this is the first time in my life I’ve been able to afford “bookstore prices” on books aside from rare splurges, so being able to go into B&N and shop the shelves is literally a childhood dream come true. 🥹 (and the membership sales & coupons sure do help, too!)

QOTD: Do you prefer getting books online or in physical stores? I’m definitely a hands-on shopping girly when I get the chance!

BOOKS PICTURED:
• IN THE MISO SOUP - Ryu Murakami
• DARK HARVEST - Norman Partridge
• NINETEEN CLAWS AND A BLACKBIRD - Agustina Bazterrica
• DON’T FEAR THE REAPER - Stephen Graham Jones
• FRANKENSTEIN (illustrated by William O’Connor)

"Of all the things my hands have held, the best, by far, is you.” - @amnthewilderness

I visited @mainlinetattoo earlier this week and @artbyseth created the most incredible piece of art for me. I've been planning this tattoo for my son since he was a newborn (all the way back in 2016!) and I'm glad I waited until I found the perfect artist for the job. Being a mama to this little bear is the best part of my life. 🥰 Thanks again for the amazing new tattoo and the wonderful chat, Seth!

(Swipe for a closer look!)

5 stars. No, 6 stars. All the stars!

I just finished buddy reading this lovely little gem with @mistysbookspace a few minutes ago and my heart is so very full. THE VERY SECRET SOCIETY OF IRREGULAR WITCHES is absolutely, wholeheartedly the definition of a warm, cozy hug in the form of a book and I feel blessed to have spent time with these characters. @sangumandanna, you have earned a permanent place in my reader heart. 🥰

If you haven’t picked this one up, it’s about a witch named Mika Moon who is hired on as a nanny to three little girls who need to learn how to control their own magic. Mika has been living in secret as a witch for so long that she’s never belonged to anyone, but she’s long overdue for finding her family. It’s sweet, cozy, magical, and hilarious, with a cast of characters you’ll adore (including the best girl, a pup named Circe). I can’t recommend it enough!

(And if you’re still reading, feel free to swipe for an Ella Outtake™️ - I caught someone stealing a taste of my whipped cream 😂)

Bookstore day 🖤 I had a coupon and everyone wanted to get out of the house, so naturally, we found our way to B&N and I ended up with a new stack of spooky reads. (I couldn’t leave without this gorgeous illustrated edition of Frankenstein, of course.)

QOTD: What was the last book you hauled? I’ll post the rest of my haul later this week!
