Stacking the Shelves: July Book Haul

A weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews

It's that time again, it's time for my monthly Stacking the Shelves. Once a month I share the books I bought and the books I got for review, so get ready because here come's July's. But not too ready, because there aren't that many. I realize that saying "get ready" usually means it's something exciting. And it is exciting, because new books always are, but it's not like I got too many. Actually this was one of my slower months.

I've been doing real well when it comes to my book buying ban. I'd like to say I'm saving up for the fall because that's going to be insane, but I'm not. I only bought two books, one physical book and one audio, which is lower than my self-imposed limit. And I've mentioned my serious addiction to Netgalley and how I'm trying to be better about not impulsively requesting books from there. Well I did so much better with that this month. In fact this may be my lowest month yet.

But I did get some books I am really excited to read and a few I already read and enjoyed.

Bought 

This Savage Song by Victoria Schwab - My Review
This book, you guys, this book is amazing. It was one of my most anticipated reads of the year and it did not disappoint. A dark fantasy with great character-driven moments. Loved.

Rock Fall, Everyone Dies by Lindsay Ribar - My Review
This is a book I've been wanting to read and kept talking myself out of buying. But I bought the audiobook and am so glad I did because I loved it. Super quirky.

For Review

When The Moon Was Ours by Anna-Marie McLemore - Add to Goodreads

I was sent a copy of this from the publisher and I could not be more excited. I loved Anna-Marie's debut and this one sounds really fantastic. I'm reading it next month when I do a magical realism theme.

Fear The Drowning Deep by Sarah Glenn Marsh - Add to Goodreads

The fantastic people at Skypony Press emailed me a copy of this book which I am so excited to read. I've been really into atmospheric historical fantasies which for awhile I wasn't digging which is strange because that's one of my favorite subgenres.

Timekeeper by Tara Sim - Add to Goodreads

The folks at Sky Pony also emailed me this one which I am equally excited about. It's such a cool concept with steampunk, time travel, and Alternative Victorian London.

The Bone Witch by Rin Chupeco - Add to Goodreads
I saw this on Netgalley and I requested it so fast my head was spinning. Not only is that cover fantastic but it sounds like an amazing and unique fantasy which I am always looking for.

Snow White by Matt Phelan - Add to Goodreads

This is a dark, noir Snow White graphic novel set in Depression-era Manhattan. Yes, you read that right. How freaking cool does that sound!

Glitter by Aprilynne Pike - Add to Goodreads

This book is pitched as Breaking Bad meets Marie-Antoinette which already sounds fantastic and weird. It's a near future world that is modeled after 18th Century France which sounds pretty cool also.

Those are the books that I got in July. What books did you get? Are you excited for any of these? Leave me a comment with your thoughts. Thanks for stopping by and HAPPY READING!
