The Sunday Post is a weekly wrap-up meme hosted by Caffeinated Reviewer. It’s a chance to recap the past week on our blogs, share new books we've received, and talk about what's coming up on our blogs for the week ahead.
{ New Books }
I got so many great books this week!! Isn't that the best feeling?... when your shelves are stocked with more books that you can realistically read at any given time... I don't know, it just makes me feel so happy and complete. lol.
{ From NetGalley } :
First of all, that DC Ink sampler looks like it's full of amazing ladies and I can't wait to read it!! It has samples from Mera: Tidebreaker, Under the Moon: A Catwoman Tale, Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass, and Teen Titans: Raven.
I had The Wren Hunt on my Fall 2018 TBR list and requested it not really expecting to be approved... but SURPRISE, it is mine now and I'm so excited. :3
The Histronauts have a series of middle grade time travel adventures and I can't wait to check out ancient Egypt with them.
I am a little bummed though, because Time for Bed, Miyuki got archived literally RIGHT after I was approved for it, so I didn't get to download it. :/ I'll have to try to find it at the library or a bookstore because I really wanted to read it! It looks like a beautiful picture book!
{ From the library } :
Ok, when I hit the library, I hit it hard. I take that "maximum items allowed" limit on my card as a challenge. And the moment the list of new books comes out each week, I am online placing holds on all the good stuff.
And look at all this good stuff that came in this week!! A CLUE GRAPHIC NOVEL. I am soooo excited to get to that!! There was a big beautiful new edition of The Princess Bride, which I unfortunately have not yet read but have had on my TBR for like forever. Hopefully I can get this version read before it's due back!
Some neat middle grade novels too - Mightier than the Sword is supposed to be interactive and put *you* in the story, and Mystery in the Mansion is a choose-your-own-adventure style mystery!
Rounding out my haul are some nonfiction picture books, which I'm really into lately. I love books (obviously) so I had to get that first one about the collection at the British Library. My undergrad degree was in Archaeology so I'm interested to read this picture book bio of Howard Carter (who discovered King Tut's tomb). And Magnificent Creatures has been getting rave reviews, so I had to see what the buzz was about.
