BOOK OUTLET
Last month I was raving about getting a Mystic City hardcover for my shelves and this month I am raving about getting its sequel TOXIC HEART in HC!
I bought the last paperback of ORLEANS to give away. I have given away four and have three more for gifts and giveaways. However, the hardcovers have come down in price so I am going to buy one of those for the blog review giveaway.
NETGALLEY
FATED is the last book in the Claimed trilogy. While I am not a fan of the type of romance in these books, I very much appreciated the storyline, and could not imagine not knowing what happened to Aislin and Jason. Another point in Sara Fine's favor is that the characters are mythological and I usually don't like that premise.
EDELWEISS
750 YEARS IN PARIS is a literary graphic novel. Besides getting the eARC via Edelweiss, the publisher sent me the illustrative pages as PDFs. I adore the Parisian culture, and feel very lucky to have this ARC. I had a look at it last night and it is brilliant!
This was an odd approval. The email the publisher sent me said that I must review this book on my blog and send them the link. If I do not review it on my blog they will not approve any other requests they get from me. Ha ha!

EBOOKS PURCHASED
It was on special for $1.99 and I snapped it up because I am planning to read all four of the Maguire Oz stories for the Fairytale Retelling Challenge. I was hoping to add the narration for a decent price, but $12.99 was too pricey for me.
Another $1.99 special intended to lead you into buying the $12.99 narration. However, keep them coming Amazon because I don't get led easily. Thank you to Shannon, from REX ROBOT REVIEWS, for the heads-up on this one,
THE DEMON IN THE WOOD
I preordered this for 99 cents, and it released on August 18th. It is a short story about how the Darkling came to be from the GRISHA TRILOGY.
THE MARTIAN
This is still $1.99 as an ebook and I added the narration for $2.99. I do not know if the narration is still at that price, but you should definitely check to see!

EBOOK FREEBIES
I love the cover, it is about a little girl's imaginary friend, and FREE; what could be better?
What was your favorite bookish acquisition this month?
Maybe the publisher for that book didn't see very much interest in reviewing it, so they made it a requirement? It's an interesting way to boost interest I suppose, lol!
ReplyDeleteMy boyfriend is most of the way through The Martian and is loving it as much as I did, he bought the ebook and audio bundle as well. I still need to find a copy of the last Wicked book, it's been so long since I've read a maguire book.
My cousin commented on Facebook that her husband just finished The Martian and loved it, too. I am listening to the audiobook of Wicked right now and I am surprised how much I have forgotten, but I read it a very very long time ago. It was a wise decision to reread it before reading Son of a Witch. :)
