February has been an excellent month in book collecting. I added a bunch of hardcover editions to my shelve, replacing the paperbacks of some of my favorite series. My personal Read 4, Buy 1 challenge is going fairly well – not only is it allowing me to focus on the awesome books I’ve already owned for years, but it’s also making me incredibly selective of the new books I bring home. When you are only able to pick out a few new titles every month, it really forces you to be picky.
Hardcopies:
Of course the book I am most excited about this month is a signed first edition of Undead Pool by Kim Harrison! I am also really tickled to have acquired hardcover copies of Sara Douglass’ Wayfarer series. The Cabot books were freebies from work and my best friend assures me that I will love them.
ARCs:
-
- The Lascar’s Dagger by Glenda Larke
-
- Spirit Animals: Blood Ties by Garth Nix
-
- Under Nameless Stars by Christian Schoon
-
- Divided by Elsie Chapman
-
- The Inventor’s Secret by Andrea Cremer
-
- Mila 2.0: Renegade by Debra Driza
-
- Push by Eve Silver
-
- Rebel Belle by Rachel Hawkins
-
- Storm by D.J. MacHale
Thank you Netgally and Edelweiss!
Of course I am ecstatic at the opportunity to read the new Richelle Mead, but the book I am most excited about is The Lascar’s Dagger by Glenda Larke. I feel so privileged to have gotten hold of an early copy – I was already planning on reading it the day it came out. She’s one of my all time favorite fantasy authors and I have read and loved everything she’s ever published (including a series I had to have shipped over from Australia).

I’d like to read Push! I wasn’t a real fan of Mila book #1, but hopefully the sequel is better, right?! :) My StS!

I admit I haven’t actually read the first Mila book (fail). Nor the first book to push (double fail). LOL

Mila! So can’t wait to read Renegade (though, I’m hoping to reread the first before it) and so jealous of Rebel Belle, haven’t read any of Rachel Hawkins’, so that should be interesting. Enjoy! :)

I haven’t actually read the first Mila book yet, LOL. I got a little trigger happy when requesting last month. :] Rachel Hawkins is worth picking up, in my humble opinion. :-)

Awesome Haul this week. Wow where do you work that you get free Cabot books???? I need to see if they have a local branch here ;)
What a lucky girl you are receive so many awesome ARC’s! I am quite excited that I added The first two books in the Infernal Devices to my bookshelf collection <3 I am only allowed to buy the paperbacks if they are a 5 star rating :)

I work for Barnes and Noble bookstore and occasionally we get to take home the books coded as “strips”. I’ve ended up with a lot of awesome titles this way, although I usually end up buying them with the covers if I like them anyway ha ha. It’s one of the coolest perks of working for a bookstore.
I felt incredibly lucky to get approved for all of those arcs… Although now I’ve got to find the time to read them all! Buying the books with five-star ratings is a brilliant strategy… I’m going to have to see if I can incorporate that into my own buying habits.
