The Anxiety of Kalix the Werewolf - this week I'm stacking the shelves with a couple surprise arrivals and luck from February contests/giveaways. I was so happy to win this book by Martin Millar and I have Nathan from Review Barn to thank for hosting that giveaway! Review Barn has held some great giveaways, which speaking of, they're actually running one right now for The Barrow (a fantastic book!) which I encourage you to check out.
The Well's End - scored a copy of this ARC courtesy of the publisher from LibraryThing's Early Reviewers program! Seth Fishman is the agent of a couple of my favorite authors, so he definitely knows what good writing looks like. I'm so excited to read his first novel The Well's End which is YA and sounds right up my alley.
A Turn of Light - courtesy of DAW, this book came and I was surprised to see how thick it was. It will probably take a while for me read this, but from what I've seen others say about the story there's romance and dragons and it just seems like all around the kind of high fantasy I really enjoy. Looking forward to this one.
My Real Children and The Pilgrims - I was psyched to win these ARCs from a publisher sweepstakes, and I'm especially excited about My Real Children. I'm ashamed to admit I've never read Jo Walton before this, and this book looks like a great place to start.
Words of Radiance - total shocker when this big boy showed up outside my front door earlier this week, unsolicited but heck I'm not complainin'! A HUGE thanks to Tor Books! Needless to say I was speechless with excitement and dug into it right away. Release in just two days! I'd already preordered the book, the ebook, and the audiobook (yes, I love this series that much!) and I'm practically counting down the hours.
The digital pile:
The Forever Watch - just when I thought I was doing such a great job clearing out my NetGalley pile. I totally blame Pabkins at MyShelfConfessions for this one, but she sold the description of the book to me and I have to admit it sounded pretty amazing!
Those Poor, Poor Bastards - I wholeheartedly jumped on board to review this one. Ragnarok Publications has published quite a few gems I really like, and who could say no to a book with a title that awesome?
The Forever Watch DOES sound amazing. It will be otherwise I might blow a gasket.
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous of Words of Radiance...I've decided I'm going to start read WOK this week cause well I just have to. I didn't realize there is a short in EPIC the anthology from the WOK world.
Oh I have SCAN and The Well's End I won them in a giveaway - I hope they are good. I'll have to squeeze them into my review pile.
If Forever Watch isn't amazing, I'll yell at you ;-)
DeleteAnd I didn't know EPIC had a short from the WOK world! I don't really do anthologies but I may have to pick that one up now just because I am a sucker for anything Stormlight Archive.
I love the cover on The Pilgrims.
ReplyDeleteAnd it is funny, I am not that huge of a Sanderson fan but found myself semi disappointed that I couldn't snag an early copy of that one. Congrats to that.
tbh it hadn't occurred to me to even inquire into a review copy of WoR because I didn't think they would even send them (can't imagine Sanderson would need help with publicity). In any case I'm slow with big books, I'm sure there will be people who pick it up Tuesday and finish before me!
DeleteAnd yes I LOVE The Pilgrims cover. It's gorgeous!
Great haul! I still haven't even gotten around to reading The Way of Kings..
ReplyDeleteYou should! It's not a series that will be finished any time soon but it's worth it, one of my favorite books :)
DeleteI am reading The Way of Kings right now, and I am loving it. I can't wait to read Words of Radiance!
ReplyDeleteYay, hope you enjoy! I LOVE that book!
DeleteI am beyond jealous of your Words of Radiance! I cannot wait to get my hands on it. That is going to be the highlight of my week, I pre-ordered it months ago from B&N. A signed copy!!
ReplyDeleteThe Forever Watch looks great as well. I shouldn't be on NetGalley, I have too many other things to read, but you have just sent me there for that one!
SWEET! I had ordered a signed copy of WoK too and I am hoping so badly I can make it out to Balticon this year where Sanderson will be the GoH so I can get my copy of WoR and other books by him signed.
DeleteAnd LOL about The Forever Watch. Let's both blame Pabkins, shall we :D
Wow, all these Sanderson fans...I really want to be one too. I am sorry to say I'm unfamiliar with both Way of Kings and Words of Radiance, therefore I am not jealous of that book;-) I won a copy of A Turn of Light some time ago, but I've been scared by its page count, so I haven't read it yet. And Well's End--I keep hearing about this one and need to add it quick! Awesome haul, Mogsy!
