Mogsy's Book Haul


Be My Enemy and Empress of the Sun - This was a pretty awesome week thanks to Jo Fletcher Books, starting with number 2 and 3 of the Everness series. I've heard so many good things about it that I quickly caught up with the first book Planesrunner at end of last year just in time to tackle these books. Be My Enemy was as amazing as I thought it would be, and I'm looking forward to start Empress of the Sun very soon!

Cemetery Girl - the first graphic novel published by JFB and it's a pleasure to be able to check this one out!

The Scarlet Tides - last year I also read Mage's Blood and loved it. Much thanks to JFB as well as Pat from A Bitter Draft for passing along his extra copy of the sequel, because you have no idea how badly I want to find out what happens in this series next.

Netherworld - a book I received from the small press JournalStone via a giveaway. It looked very interesting from its description of a paranormal historical featuring a nineteenth-century female demon hunter.

Red Delicious - Blood Oranges was one of the first reviews I wrote for this blog when we revived it again last year, and how time flies because the sequel is about to come out already! I absolutely adored the first book and I have a feeling this one will be just as incredible. The main protagonist of this series Siobhan Quinn is such a riot.

Iron Night - I already an ARC of this but I had to get the retail copy to complete my collection. And why not, this is such a brilliant series and I can't remember the last time I was this excited over an urban fantasy! Iron Night just came out this week, so go get it!



Siege and Storm - there was a flurry of audiobook sales recently, including an Audible 2-for-1 credit deal which I took advantage of. I haven't even started Shadow and Bone yet, but I will soon because it's one of the books on my winter reading list and I figured having the sequel on hand will be a good idea.

Necessary Evil - the second audiobook also happens to be a sequel, the third book of the Milkweed Triptych. I'm finally all set to finish this trilogy by Ian Tregillis; I enjoyed the first and second books and I hear the third one ends with a bang and is the best one of all.

Crux - yet another sequel! I listened to the audiobook of Nexus last month and really liked it. Hopefully I'll have a review of it up soon. I saw both books on sale as a Kindle daily deal last week and took that opportunity to grab the Whispersync bundle of Crux for a few bucks.

Silence - I'm thinking of doing a YA reading challenge for 2014 and this one has been on my reading list for a while. Needless to say, when I saw it as a daily audiobook deal one day, I quickly snapped it up.

The Waking Engine - the only ebook ARC in my haul this time. I was so proud of myself this holiday season when I brought my NetGalley stats to over 90% but I'm sure that number will be destroyed again in the new year. Sure enough, here I start requesting again. But The Waking Engine, it just looks so good! They...they all do...

  1. Netherworld looks interesting, I never heard of that one.

    Bardugo's first book was so good. The second was good didn't work as well for me, but I am still hooked for that final outing.

    1. I just finished Netherworld and wrote a review for it actually, which should be going up some time in the next couple of weeks. It didn't turn out to be my cup of tea only because the writing didn't sit well with me, but the story was pretty good at least.
