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!
This is my book haul from the last few weeks, and I couldn’t more excited to check all of these out:-)
Physical books for review:
For all you non-horror fans, sorry this first bunch is almost all horror. I’m so excited to have a copy of Don’t Fear the Reaper by Stephen Graham Jones in my hands. It doesn’t come out until February but I’d love to read it well before that. Hugs to Gallery/Saga Press for the review copy:-)
I’m on the blog tour later in the month for Full Immersion by Gemma Amor, and I’ve been hearing good things about it so far. Big thanks to Angry Robot!
With thanks to Tor, I’m thrilled to have a copy of Ocean’s Echo by Everina Maxwell. I really had fun with the first book in the series, Winter’s Orbit. I believe this is more of a stand alone than a direct sequel.
Big thanks to author Michael Harris Cohen for a copy of his upcoming Effects Vary, which I recently featured on Future Fiction. This comes out in about a month so I’ll be reading it soon:-)
Eric LaRocca has a new edition of his novella collection Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke, out this month from Titan books. I’m so excited to have a copy. I’ve already started reading the first story and I’m hooked! Thank you Titan:-D
Tordotcom has been very generous lately, huge thanks for these upcoming releases, all of which I believe I’ve featured on Future Fiction. Wild Massive by Scotto Moore was a surprise arrival and I couldn’t be happier to have a copy, it sounds, well, wild!
Feed Them Silence by Lee Mandelo is very short and and sounds very good. A woman is able to share the mind of a wolf, I think? Can’t wait:-)
I was very excited to receive a copy of The Crane Husband by Kelly Barnhill, another surprise. This is a retelling of The Crane Wife and sounds intriguing!
And last but not least, I’m finally going to read Kate Elliott, lol. The Keeper’s Six sounds like an interesting mix of fantasy and sc-fi.
Digital books for review:
Raven Unveiled by Grace Draven is the third book in her Fallen Empire series, which I’ve quite enjoyed. Isn’t this cover pretty?
I’ve been hearing really good things about Dark Room Etiquette by Robin Roe, and I’m very happy to have a review copy.
I had to grab Sister, Maiden, Monster by Lucy A. Snyder when I saw it on NetGalley. I just love this rather disturbing cover, and I’m excited to read my first Lucy Snyder book!
Finally, I was just approved for The Writing Retreat by Julia Bartz, and I’m really looking forward to this thriller about a group of horror writers at a writing retreat.
A very good haul, indeed! And I will be happy to return to Everina Maxwells universe: my hope is that this new book will give us more details about the background of which we got only some glimpses in Winter’s Orbit…

I also hope for more background details. Can’t wait:-)
You’ve got a lot of good reading it looks like!
Yes, I’m excited to get to all these:-)
I want to read Full Immersion. I enjoy Amor’s work!

I haven’t read her books yet, but I love that I’m discovering so many new horror writers this year:-)
Wow those first five feature some very different covers! I’m curious about Wild Massive, I hope it’s good!
It sounds good, so fingers crossed:-)
I recently stumbled across Sister, Maiden, Monster, and you’re right, it’s a disturbing cover, but I couldn’t look away. 🙂
There’s a lot going on in that cover for sure:-)
Awesome haul! I’m looking forward to reading Ocean’s Echo for sure — can’t wait to hear more about the rest of these!
Hope we both love Ocean’s Echo:-)
I also have Raven Unveiled and The Writing Retreat. There is this vague feeling of being overbooked but somehow I read them.

Wow, great haul! I’m looking forward to your review of Keeper’s Six.

Thanks Stormi!
I’m kind of excited for The Writing Retreat!
Me too, it really sounds good:-)
Nice haul!!
Thanks Ola:-)
I’m quite excited to check out the new Stephen Graham Jones and I’m counting down the days until Raven Unveiled is available to request in audio!
I’m always up for a new Stephen Graham Jones:-)
How many interesting books!! The one I am more intrigued by is the one by Everina Maxwells, I really enjoyed the first book and I really hope to get to read this new one, too!
I hope we both love it!
I love the cover of Sister Maiden Monster too! That one is definitely cool! Hope you enjoy all of these!

Thanks Lisa:-)
Horror isn’t really my thing but I’m definitely curious about The Writing Retreat!
Oh Ocean’s Echo! So curious about that one.
I like the sound of the horror writing retreat. Must go and check that out.
