Welcome to Over-Booked, my twice-monthly book haul post. I’m linking up with Stacking the Shelves over at Tynga’s Reviews and The Sunday Post at the Caffeinated Book Reviewer. Check out their links and you can see other book hauls!
A nice, under control book haul this week! I did get a few new titles for review, but my obsessive searching on Edelweiss and NetGalley has been tamed, luckily:-D
Physical pile:
The Hanged Man (Her Majesty’s Psychic Service #1) by P.N. Elrod. Surprise book from Tor! Big thanks to Tor for this unexpected arrival. I don’t know much about this book, except that it’s a Victorian gaslamp story. I’m hoping to squeeze it in this month:-)
Cash Crash Jubilee: Book One of the Jubilee Cycle by Eli K.P. William. Another unexpected book, but one I’ve had my eye on. How can you resist this fabulous cover?? Plus it takes place in a future Tokyo, one of my favorite cities. The publisher is calling this a “cyber dystopian thriller.” Big thanks to the folks at Talos Press!
Enchantment Lake by Margi Preus. It seems I’m still on a book winning roll. I won this from Mieneke at A Fantastical Librarian. Thank you Mieneke!
Hexed: The Sisters of Witchdown by Michael Alan Nelson. Big thanks to Pyr Books, this finished copy showed up unexpectedly last week. It’s another book I’ve had my eye on, and I believe it’s a novel based on a graphic novel series. Can’t wait to read it!
The Chart of Tomorrows (Gaunt and Bone #3) by Chris Willrich. Requested from Pyr Books, thank you! I’ve loved this series so far, and I’m excited to be able to read the third (and final?) book. This is a July release, so I’ll be adding it to my June stack.
And that’s all for now:-D I just posted What’s On My Plate for May, and it looks like I’ll be adding a few of these titles to my list this month. Look for reviews of Cash Crash Jubilee and Hexed for sure. Link me up to your book haul posts!
I also got sent unexpected copies of The Hanged Man and Cash Crash Jubilee! I was curious about both too, so I’m looking forward to those. And I’ve got a review upcoming for Hexed, I really REALLY enjoyed that one
I just started Hexed this afternoon, and I’m loving it!
I see lots of wonderful books in your pile this week. They look fantastic. I hope you enjoy all of them.

Thanks Grace!
Gaunt and Bone is one series I’ve been meaning to get into. The Hanged Man looks very cool (wouldn’t mind if that dropped on my doorstep as well), and I know Cash Crash Jubilee is on its way.
Gaunt and Bone is so good! Hope you get the chance to read it.
These all sound fantastic! I’m adding them to my tbr!
Oh cool! Hope you enjoy:-D
Hanged Man seems interesting. Nice haul, happy reading XD

I love the look and sound of the Hanged Man – will look out for your review of that one.
Just read Hexed and loved it – very creative and entertaining.

I’m trying to finish Hexed today, it’s so good!
I’m looking forward to seeing what you think of The Hanged Man. I noticed that one earlier and thought it sounded pretty interesting.
I’m very curious, now that I have a copy, I’ll probably read it soon.
Oh, I love all of your new books. I did manage to only grab two from Netgalley and none from Edelweiss. Now to get my percentage of reviews up on Netgalley. It’s so bad!
Me too, Laura! I’m trying to catch up but it’s so hard:-(
Lots of fascinating titles here that are new to me, I know how much you love the Gaunt and Bone series so I hope you enjoy this one! Hexed sounds good from your review, and I’m looking forward to the rest of your thoughts.
I am definitely going to be reading Hanged Man. I have really been in the mood for Victorians lately.
I’ve heard really good things about it:-)
hahaha I wish I could say the same about my Edelweiss/Netgalley habits. Teach me your ways. LOL
Enchantment Lake sounds GOOD! Happy reading!
The Hanged Man sounds fantastic, as does Hexed. I’ve been trying to get caught up myself… but it’s so hard when there’s so much fantastic stuff coming out every week!
It’s nearly impossible to get caught up, so it’s best to just do your best:-)
I hope you get a chance to read Hanged Man soon because I got it unexpectedly too and I need to know how it is, haha! I’m glad you got so many fun books
I’ve heard great things about Hanged Man! I do want to get to it soon, so I’ll let you know:-)
