Huzzah to Book Binging! There is nothing quite as tasty as a good book! If you can’t tell I have a serious book buying and acquiring addiction! Heck, I don’t know a book blogger that doesn’t. If I don’t grab at least as many books as there are number of days in a week I start to go through withdrawals.
So what’s more fun than jumping around and seeing what everyone else has added to their shelves for the week? For that reason I link up two these two lovely ladies:
The Sunday Post hosted by Kimberly @ Kimba The Caffeinated Book Reviewer.
Stacking the Shelves hosted by Tynga @ Tynga’s Reviews.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Review Books!
There wasn’t such a downpour of books this week but what I did get looks amazing. On a random note it is currently raining cats and dogs outside and I effectively destroyed one of my books by accident yesterday by spilling water all over it. I should be flogged.
Heaven’s Queen by Rachel Bach | Goodreads | Amazon (Adult SF) – Last in the trilogy! – I have an interview with the author I’ll be posting soon!!
Some Fine Day by Kat Ross | Goodreads | Amazon | (YA)
Half A King by Joe Abercrombie | Goodreads | Amazon | (Fantasy)
The Oversight by Charlie Fletcher | Goodreads | Amazon | (Fantasy – Urban I think?)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Purchased Books!
Who knew that I could control myself? – only Graphics novels this week! I actually paid for DEAD ROOTS ages ago – and sadly there really isn’t a cover – its just a flat black cover with the title printed on the front so I didn’t bother trying to dig up a copy to include. Lazy am I? Yes – very. I’m excited to read it though because its zombies.
Dead Roots edited by Mike Garley | Kickstarter | (Graphic Novel)
Saga, Volume 2 by Brian K. Vaughan, Fiona Staples (Illustrations) | Goodreads | (Graphic Novel)
Saga, Volume 3 by Brian K. Vaughan, Fiona Staples (Illustrations) | Goodreads | (Graphic Novel)
Locke and Key, volume 2 by Joe Hill, Gabriel Rodríguez (Artist) | Goodreads | (Graphic Novel)

. . . . . . . . . I’m probably the only reviewer alive that applied for Half a King and wasn’t accepted for it 🙁
Tabitha (Pabkins)
Oh no I’m sorry! I hate when that happens. Are you in the US? If so when I go to BEA next month if they have a print ARC I could try to snag you one.

I feel like everyone is reading Saga and I’m only just finding out about it…I need to get myself a copy.

You totally need to get yourself a copy! IT IS SUCH AN AMAZING GRAPHIC novel. A GREAT blend of fantasy and science fiction . My caps lock is tweaking today. Sorry

Oh, I really want The Oversight! It’s supposed to be really good. I almost requested One Fine Day, but I’m so overBOOKED as it is, I decided to let that one go:-)

The Oversight is sort of like urban historical fantasy. And enjoy Half a King! I didn’t mean to load up your NG pile again >_<

Lisa (@TenaciousReader)
Some great books! I am almost finished with Half a King, absolutely love it. Also, Locke and Key is great. After the first book, you get to delve more into the story of the keys! Really enjoyed it, hope you do as well.

I still haven’t dug into the first Locke and Key but when I flipped thru it looked so good I figured might as well get the next so I wouldn’t have to wait for it to arrive like I did Saga

I’ve heard so many good things about Joe Abercrombie’s work and being a fantasy lover, his books are high on my list. I look forward to your review 🙂 Happy reading!

That is an awesome book haul! I have to go check a few of those out on GR before I head out for my walk. As for book binging, I will be binging on ARCs this week. I have so many to read and review. They are piling up and I keep putting them off. Have a great week and happy reading!

Charleen
Heaven’s Queen is last in the trilogy, you say? That’s good news for me; with that naming scheme I was figuring the series would be longer. Looks like another one I need to check out!
Charleen recently posted…Dewey’s 24-Hour Read-a-Thon Wrap Up
Tabitha (Pabkins)
Yes! Last in this trilogy but the author plans to write more books in this universe but starring other characters which I am super excited to read someday when /if they do come out. But this will complete this characters story arc I hear.

Tanja
I was so sad when I saw that Half A King and The Oversight were for US readers. I really wanted to read both, but now I’ll have to wait. *sigh* I really hope we’ll enjoy Some Fine Day! 🙂 You’ve got some amazing books and I really hope you’ll enjoy them ! 🙂
Tanja recently posted…Sunday Post (#4)

I can imagine that must be really aggravating when they are limited to US only. Sorry dear but I hope you love it when it comes out. I still haven’t read either one yet.

I got Heaven’s Queen too. I didn’t realize it was the third book in the series. I bought Honor’s Knight and want to read it first. I did like the first book in the series very much. Come see what I got this week at Ms. Martin Teaches Media and Inside of a Dog. Happy reading!
Tabitha (Pabkins)
Fortune’s Pawn > Honor’s Knight > Heaven’s Queen. I completely absolutely LOVED the first two books.

Emily @ Oh Magic Hour
I am going to be starting Oversight today and just somehow discovered the Bach series today. It rocketed to the top of my list
I really need to get into this Saga series. Basically you have the best taste and I trust everything you write.
PLUS – the fact that you’re going to BEA makes me want to be there SO MUCH MORE. We need to be friends IRL!
Emily @ Oh Magic Hour recently posted…Book Review: The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August by Clare North
Tabitha (Pabkins)
Oh Emily – yes yes yes You will love the Paradox series by Rachel Bach. I literally devoured the first two books in a 24 hour period then had to wait anxiously to get my hands on the third. I even bought them all on kindle and then on paperback just so I could lend them out to friends! lol
Are you going to BEA? If you are we totally must hook up and have dinner one night. I wish you did live closer by. I need more IRL friends that don’t think I’m insane for doing this book blog and being as obsessed with books as I am.

Half a King and Some Fine day both sound good- and I want to read Saga! I keep hearing how good those are…

Saga is excellent – definitely now one of my favorites graphic novels. Half a King really does sound amazing. I hope Some Fine Day turns out good as well.

It’s so hard for me not to give into temptation. I figured since I already own several Joe Abercrombie books and have yet to read him, this review book would force me to do what I want to do anyway.

I love freebies too but only when I’ve won them …those kindle freebies I always seem to think are going to end up so blah that I never grab them.
