Friday was turning out to be a crappy day, but when I got home I had #bookmail, and that made everything alright (at least until tomorrow).
#nevertoomanybooks #neverenoughshelves
#Bookmail! After not acquiring any physical books for two full months (two! Maybe two and a half, really!), these arrived today, ordered from the UK for my Women‘s Prize for fiction reading. They don‘t have US pub dates, so I figured this my only way of completing the list. I‘ve read 8 so far and am sputtering a bit on my 9th read, which is feeling more and more like a bail.
Today's #bookmail included Leigh Bardugo's new release and my April #aardvarkbookclub pick, Expiration Dates.😁
Bk25 of my 2024 #BookMail is this stunning edition,I absolutely loved her Winternight trilogy. Jan 1918, Laura Iven has been discharged from her duties as a nurse & sent back to Nova Scotia, leaving behind a brother still fighting in the trenches at Flanders. Home, she receives a telegram informing her of his death, but it doesn‘t make sense. Determined to find out more she returns to Belgium.Their stories twist around ghosts & a strange inkeeper.
Bk24 of my 2024 #BookMail (so far😋)is the last in the Realm Breaker trilogy. The Companions are scattered, torn from each other. Corayne barely escapes with her life, continuing alone with her blade broken & her allies behind her. The only consolation: she now has Taristan‘s sword, the only Spindleblade left in existence. Without it, he can‘t rip open any more Spindles, without it he can‘t end the world. But he will burn it down to find her.
Bk23 of my never-ending #BookMail is the Waterstones signed edition of the 2nd Empire of the Vampire book. Gabriel de Leon has saved the Holy Grail from death but his chance to end the endless night is lost. After turning his back on his silver saint brothers for good, Gabriel & the Grail set out to find how DaysDeath might finally be undone. Kristoffs writing is very dark & sarcastic but he tells a beautiful story.
Bk22 of my 2024 #BookMail is a signed edition of the authors new standalone thriller. Nina & Simon are the perfect couple. Young & in love, until the weekend they both go to his family‘s cabin in Vermont, and only Simon comes home. Nobody knows what happened to Nina & Simon‘s explanation doesn‘t add up. Her parents push the police for answers & his parents rush to protect him. How far will his family go to keep him safe? Sounds brilliant👍
Bk21 of my never ending #BookMail is another beautiful edition. In White Roaring,Arthie Casimir runs a tea shop by day, at night it‘s an illegal blood house, catering to the vampires.But when it‘s threatened, she strikes a deal with an adversary to save it.So she brings together the city‘s most skilled outcasts to infiltrate the Vampire society called the Atherium. But not everyone is on her side & she finds herself in the middle of a conspiracy.
