Lenoreo’s Haul

(All Ebooks unless otherwise specified)

NetGalley ARC Requests Approved:

• Bring Me Their Hearts by Sara Wolf from Entangled: Teen (Entangled Publishing, LLC) — releases June 5th, 2018.  You guys!!  I’ve loved the one contemporary YA series I read by Ms. Wolf, so when I heard about this one, I knew I wanted to check it out!  I wished for it, and in a miracle my wish was granted!  I am seriously on a roll between last week and this week.
• Save the Date by Morgan Matson from Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers (Simon & Schuster Canada) — releases June 5th, 2018.  I’ve never read a book by Ms. Matson, though I’ve heard great things.  So when I saw it in a NetGalley email, I figured why not try for it (though I don’t usually have luck with the big publishers), and lo and behold I got it!  I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing given the number of books on my plate.  I honestly expected to get rejected.
• Knocked Up (Crazy Love #2) by Stacey Lynn from Loveswept (Random House Publishing Group – Loveswept) — releases June 12th, 2018.  I read the first book in this series (see my review here), and while my reaction was a bit mixed, I want to give this author another try.

New Releases:

• Fool Me Once (The Secret Societies Collection #3) by Kat Nichols — released April 4th, 2018.  This was a book I beta read earlier in the year, and now it’s out in the world!  And for those collecting, this is a “Lenore book” (ie a book that has Lenore mentioned in it and it’s *this* Lenore).

Borrowed From The Library:

• Love Hacked (Knitting in the City #3) by Penny Reid — So I recently discovered the joy of borrowing ebooks from my library.  And I’ve been using this as a way to read the books I have paperbacks for, but don’t have the Kindle books (b/c e_too_cheap).  Only there were a few that weren’t in my library’s catalogue — the HORROR!!  But then I discovered I can SUGGEST TITLES.  OMG.  I wasn’t sure how this worked, so as this was another book I’ve been wanting to read, but haven’t bit the bullet and bought the book yet, I thought I’d test it out.  And it worked!!!  Course now I have to decide if I read it now, when I should be focusing on ARCs and reads for Book Bonanza, or return it for now and borrow it again in a few months.  Probably the latter.
• Without Merit by Colleen Hoover — This is an author who will be at Book Bonanza (nay who’s HOSTING it), and when I saw my library had the ebook, I figured I’d borrow it.  Course, then I started reading some of the reviews, and now I’m a bit concerned that this wouldn’t be a hit for me (the kinds of things people were unhappy with are things that would bug me).  So now I don’t know.  With all the other books I have to read before BB, I figure maybe I’ll just return this one and prioritize the others.
• Broken Juliet (Starcrossed #2) and Wicked Heart (Starcrossed #3) by Leisa Rayven — So these were the books I really wanted to suggest my library purchase (since I have the paperbacks), and I did, and they did!  But someone else must have suggested them before me, b/c I didn’t automatically get first crack at them.  But this morning I got the email that they are mine now.  So I foresee reading this series this month (I own the first ebook already).

Got It On Sale:

• Kiss Me Kate (The Madison Stories #1) by Mari Carr — I think I actually had this one as an ebook from when it was with its old publisher (I think I purchased it from their website?).  But I prefer the Kindle versions, so I wishlisted it.  So when I got an eReaderIQ alert that this book was on sale for free from its usual $3.99, I snatched it up.  Still free!!
• February Stars (Wilder Irish #2) and March Wind (Wilder Irish #3) by Mari Carr — I think when I was buying Kiss Me Kate I noticed that these two were on sale too, and since I loved the original series that this one is a spin-off to, I figured why not.  I got these both for 99 cents each, and they’re still on sale for me, but I think they might be back to $3.99 for US.
• Lucas (Preston Brothers #1) by Jay McLean — This book was on my wishlist because of Deanna @A Novel Glimpse, after I read her review for book 2 (Logan) I became intrigued.  So when I got an eReaderIQ alert that this book was on sale for free from its usual $4.99, I snagged it.  No longer on sale.
• The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith — I really enjoyed another book by this author, and have been collecting some paperbacks from Book Outlet (including this one).  So when I got an eReaderIQ alert that this book was on sale for $1.99 from its usual $8.99, I snagged it.  Still on sale!
