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!
I know we still have one more week of October, but I’m sharing my October book haul today anyway! Most of these won’t be released until next year, but I do have a couple of October/November releases that I’ll try to squeeze in.
Books in the mail for review:
Villain Edit by Rosie Danan. This is a December release, so I’ll be reading it this year, and I’m looking forward to it a lot! I mean, don’t we need more vampire stories? Big thanks to Berkely for the review copy:-)
A Deadly Blooming by Daphne Fama. I am sooo excited to have a copy of Fama’s next book. I absolutely loved House of Monstrous Women, so I have high hopes for this one. Thank you Berkley:-)
Love, Witches and Wahala by Christine Cowan. This is a November release so I will be reading it soon. I love the sound of this cozy fantasy romance, about a Nigerian witch and an ancient curse. Big thanks to Orbit Books!
Dead New World by Lin Darrow. This is described as cozy sci-fi, and the timing couldn’t be more perfect, since it comes out next month, which is Sci-Fi Month! Big thanks to Podium Publishing for the review copy.
The Timefarers by Jennifer Robson. I have never read this author before, but I know she writes historical fiction. This is a story about a secret society of time travelers, and I’m very excited to read it:-) Thank you to Angela for the ARC!
Savage Lake by Nick Medina. I believe this is already out, so I need to squeeze it in soon, but it sounds so good. A mother and her teenaged son return to the house she grew up in, but she has to face horrific memories. Thank you Berkely!
Big thanks to Tordotcom for a beautiful finished copy of The Killing of a Chestnut Tree by Oliver K. Langmead, which I loved:-)
Also thanks to Tor for a finished copy of The Thrice-Bound Fool by Christopher Buehlman, which I still haven’t read but I hope to soon.
Digital books for review:
Just a few new NetGalley books this month, I’m doing better!
One of my favorite series is Assassins Anonymous by Rob Hart, and book #4 City of Killers comes out next June. It seems so far away!
The Yule Day Slaughter by Craig DiLouie is another sequel I’m excited for, after The Summer Fun Massacre, and it comes out next month, so I won’t have long to wait!
Finally, I’m really looking forward to If You Think You’re Lonely Now by Gus Moreno. I have heard lots of good things about his previous book, This Thing Between Us.
With thanks to G.P. Putnam’s Sons and Run For It:-D
Great haul. I have discovered What not and there is always some on there running auctions for new hardbacks which I often now get at maybe like 5-10 dollars per book. It can be dangerous but worth it. LOL. If you want, I can send you a referral link to check it out…
I’m really looking forward to The Thrice Bound Fool and Villain Edit! Thank you for sharing and happy reading!
Love, Witches and Wahala looks like a nice change of pace. I’m curious about that one, so I’ll keep an eye out for your review!
That’s quite a haul! Every time you mention the Assassins Anonymous series, I’m reminded all over again that I need to pick up the first book!
The Killing of a Chestnut Tree is one that’s been on my TBR and I’m really excited to get to it! Dead New World is new to me, but sounds like a ton of fun. I’ll be looking out for that one. Might have to re-arrange my Sci-Fi Month plans a little…
I’ve been curious The Thrice-Bound Fool, I don’t think I’ve seen many reviews of it yet!
How many intriguing books!! It’s the first time I see Villain Edit around and I am really curious about that! And I have already added to my wishlist The Killing of a Chestnut Tree thanks to your review
And we share Dead New World! And I am really excited about that one!!
I’m so excited to read the DiLouie book next month! Some great looking reads here. Hope you enjoy them!
We got a lot of the same books but I did pass on Villain Edit because I had too much on my plate and needed December to catch up on older releases. But I’ll be curious to see what you make of it!
What a lovely haul, I’m so happy to hear that you recieved a finished copy of The Killing Of A Chestnut Tree after you enjoyed it so much. I’ll have to see if A Deadly Blooming is up on Netgalley yet (I don’t think theres much point in me trying to get a print copy as I believe its by a publisher that wants you to have 3000 plus followers). How lovely that you have some anticipated sequels to check out too although I am surprised to see a June one appearing already. Hope you enjoy them all.
Lots of lovely books.
I’m also excited to pick up the Yule Tide Slaughter and of course I loved the Thrice Bound Fool.
Happy reading.
Lynn 😀
