Welcome to Over-Booked, where I share my latest and greatest book acquisitions! There is a new blog hosting Stacking the Shelves, so do check out Reading Reality for more information!
Lots of new additions to the TBR this week, let’s jump right in!
Physical books for review:
Huge thanks to Orbit for the first two ARCs, both of which I’m really looking forward to. First, The Seven Visitations of Sydney Burgess by Andy Marino is a horror thriller that sounds really twisty! And Blood of the Chosen by Django Wexler is book two in his Burningblade & Silvereye series. I had a bunch of fun with the first book, so I can’t wait to dive into this one.
And Tor has been very generous lately, so big thanks to them for these next three books! First, The Justice in Revenge by Ryan Van Loan is the second book in the series after The Sin in the Steel, which I haven’t read yet but hope to at some point.
From Tor.com, I’m thrilled to have a copy of A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske. When I saw the cover reveal for this book, I knew I wanted to read it! I was also send a copy of Along the Saltwise Sea by A. Deborah Baker (Seanan McGuire), which is book two in her The Up-and-Under series. I enjoyed the first book, Over the Woodward Wall, but it is geared more towards middle grade readers, so it’s not really my thing. But I’ll definitely read the sequel since I have a copy now.
Digital books for review:
I’m glad I was finally approved for Christina Henry’s next book, Horseman. Should be fun!
I was excited to be approved for Nightwatch on the Hinterlands by K. Eason, a book I featured recently on Future Fiction.
And I’m deep into Seanan McGuire’s Wayward Children series, so of course I’m going to read book #7, Where the Drowned Girls Go! This one is a return to Cora’s story, and I can’t wait.
Cold the Night, Fast the Wolves by Meg Long is a book I haven’t talked about yet. It nearly got a Future Fiction spot but then got bumped for something else, lol. This is a rare YA for me, but I think it sounds amazing!
I was excited to get a download widget for The Paradox Hotel by Rob Hart, since I had a lot of fun with Hart’s last book, The Warehouse.
I’m also looking forward to Gallant by Victoria Schwab. I’m always going to try her new books, even though they don’t always work for me.
Trashlands by Alison Stine is a recent discovery, and it sounded so good that I immediately requested it on NetGalley (and was approved right away!).
Finally, I had the opportunity to download The Orphan Witch by Paige Crutcher, which I’ve seen some readers compare to Alice Hoffman. Now I have to try it!
Big thanks to Berkley, DAW Books, Tor.com, Wednesday Books, Ballantine Books, Greenwillow Books, St. Martin’s Griffin and Mira.
You got a lot of cool-looking books! I don’t have any of these on my TBR yet, but the Sleepy Hollow book (a retelling?) sounds fun. Enjoy!

I think it sounds fun too, and I’m always up for a Christina Henry book:-)
I’m not planning to read any of the books you featured but that might change after I read your reviews!
Stephanie @ Bookfever recently posted…Review: House of Hollow by Krystal Sutherland
Maybe I can convince you:-)
I’m really looking forward to Gallant, A Marvellous Light, Trashlands, and The Paradox Hotel. I hope you enjoy them!
Thanks Lauren, I hope we both do:-)
Awesome haul! I’m soooo excited for Horseman, Where the Drowned Girls Go, and Gallant! ♥
Destiny @ Howling Libraries recently posted…AUGUST TBR: my first monthly TBR in almost a year? Who is she???
There’s so much excitement coming up, right?
I got the second Ryan Van Loan book too, but also haven’t read the first one yet – I think it can be read as a standalone though, so I think we’re good! 😀
Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum recently posted…Bookshelf Roundup: 07/31/21: Stacking the Shelves & Recent Reads
I didn’t know that! I’ll see how much time I end up having. There are other books that will take priority this month for sure:-)
Well I’m off to see about pretty much the entire digital stack. A few there catching my eye. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on some of these if you get around to them, particularly Orphan Witch and Horseman.

Hopefully I will read all of them and let you know:-)
Quite a mix here. Though there’s nothing specific in the batch I’m looking forward to, I do look forward to your thoughts on any you read. 🙂
Hopefully I can pique your interest in some of them:-)
EEek, I’m looking forward to Blood of the Chosen too, was so excited when that arrived! I actually immediately thought of you when I saw the new Rob Hart on NetGalley, I know how much you liked his previous work!
I do like Rob Hart! His book was just a ton of fun, and I need more of those:-)
I like the look of that Cold the Night, even though it’s YA which I tend to avoid. I’d also like the Schwab.
