I haven’t read more than a few chapters since I found out we were moving but now I need to kick myself into gear. I’m waaaaay behind on arc’s – even though I don’t have many, they were all for March/April so I need my speed reading powers to activate again.
So here’s what I have managed to unpack and need to read.
I’ve been so out of the loop that I have no idea if any of you have read or reviewed any of these titles. So hot me up with your rec’s – which should I bump to the top? Or which should I give a pass? What new releases (that aren’t pictured) have I missed and should add to my list?
I’m reading Girls With Sharp Sticks now and - although it has a lot of similarities to Young’s The Program series – I’m enjoying it so far.
GOODREADS LINKS:
The Afterward by E.K Johnston

What We Buried by Kate A. Boorman
Girls With Sharp Sticks by Suzanne Young
I spy with my little eye more books to add to my TBR! lol
ReplyDeleteHappy to help lol
DeletePretty books! And nope, not read them
ReplyDeleteThey were all so hyped but now I haven't heard a thing about them.
DeleteI haven't read any of those but I love the picture.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI just started Girls With Sharp Sticks and so far I'm very interested!!
ReplyDeleteHave you read The Program yet?
DeleteI have not! This is my first Suzanne Young!
DeleteOh I am curious about them all. You totally moved in already?
ReplyDeleteI'm still unpacking the smaller stuff but for the most part I'm settled in.
Deleteno suggestions on books. sorry :( Glad that you are more moved in . Hugs
ReplyDeleteI'm here - still unpacking lol
DeleteThe only one I have read is Girls With Sharp Sticks, which I really liked! I haven't read The Program series yet but I really want to so I am actually a little glad it is similar so far? What We Buried is a trippy little book! I want you to read it so we can chat about the ending- plus it is REALLY quick and you probably won't be able to put it down (but the first chapters are a little "meh"- but it does pick up quickly!) I really am curious about The Afterward, so I hope that one is good too! Pretty picture, too!
ReplyDeleteAhhh - I just saw your review and that's what's bothering me a little - I read The Program so I can see a lot what's going on ahead of her.
DeleteOk - so that's two votes for What We Buried so I'll dot hat one next.
What We Buried is on my list too (...wait, what?!?!? LOL) and the concept intrigues me so much! Maybe you could start with it *wink wink*. Happy diving back into reading!
ReplyDeleteIt's one of the shorter ones too so I might. It's taking me forever to get through this one book though.
DeleteI need a reading brain reboot! lol
Enjoy your selection
ReplyDeleteShelleyrae @ Book’d Out
Decisions decisions lol
DeleteI think you had valid reasons for not making time to read. Lol. I hope you get your reading mojo back and enjoy these!
ReplyDeleteI have more time now but when I finally get to sit down I fall asleep lol
DeleteIt looks lovely where you are. I hope you enjoy Blondes. I really liked it.
ReplyDeleteI love his characters so I'm looking forward to it.
DeleteA finished copy, so lucky! I have a NG copy of The Fever King but haven't gotten to it yet. In my defense, I didn't get it until after the release date I think, so... not my fault lol. But hey, maybe it'll be another book for us to chat about once we've both read it!
ReplyDeleteHa! Yes. I have another friend who wants to read it too so I'm thinking of bumping it up and reading int he next week or so.
DeleteI've seen mixed thoughts on Death Prefers Blondes, but I'm still interested in reading it. LOL, at least with the double up on the book, it means the pile isn't as big. :)
ReplyDeleteOh really?? I've heard NOTHING about any of these - I'm so out of the loop right now.
DeleteI loved his debut novel but the second was 3 star for me.
I still need to read Death Prefers Blondes - but I also want to read The Fever King. Hopefully both of those are good. :)

Do you have Fever King? As you can see I have two lol
DeleteI am glad you made it safely and that you are seeing some sunshine. I haven’t read any of the books in your stack, but I have read good things about Girls With Sharp Sticks. Hope you are enjoying your new home.
ReplyDeleteI liked it! I'm adjusting lol
DeleteI know that feeling. I read so much in February and I've read half that in March. I'm also currently reading Girls With Sharp Sticks. So we'll see how that goes. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteAsh @ JennRenee Read
I ended up liking it. It just took me awhile to get into it.
DeleteHow did you swing two copies of The Fever King? Haha! Only you... ;) I've heard good things about Girls with Sharp Sticks! Didn't you win Death Prefers Blondes on Goodreads? I hope you find some time to read soon! It's good stress relief. ;) Also, Fonzi is his corner is adorable (your Instagram on the sidebar). I love that he prefers the tight squeeze to his bed.
ReplyDeleteLindsi @ Do You Dog-ear? 💬
A publicist sent me an arc over 8 months ago and then a final copy closer tot he release date. It's either book feast or famine here lol
DeleteReally nice photograph! I just don't have the patience to upload photos of my books!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I just use my phone. My rule is that the picture has to take less than 3-4 minutes to set up lol
DeletePretty flowers!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of those books, so I guess I'm out of the loop too!
Really?? I thought you would have read The Antidote or The Fever King. aren't those fantasy??
DeleteI've heard good things about The Antidote.
ReplyDeleteIt's so weird - I know I've been away from things - but I haven't even seen these books mentioned on my twitter or IG feed. And they were so hyped!
DeleteI've heard good things about Girls WIth Sharp Stcisk but honestly I am so behind on releases lately so who knows. Read what everyone else says.
ReplyDeleteI ended up liking it. I'm soooooo behind too!
DeleteEeeep, so many books here I have never heard about! Thank you so much for sharing--I love turning to my blog friends for book ideas, and in addition to the Girls with Sharp Sticks, I just added What we Buried to my list. The title alone makes me want to run to the bookstore to find it :)
ReplyDeleteI am comment vomiting backwards as usual, so I know you loved Girls with Sharp Sticks. 🙌🙌🙌
ReplyDeleteNew to me ones. Hope you enjoy them and getting back into reading :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't read or reviewed any of these but I have been hearing very good things about The Fever King so that sounds like a good one for me!
