Pre-Holiday Book Haul

Yesterday was all about the books I haven’t yet bought for myself, so today let’s talk about the books that I HAVE recently purchased. It’s time for a little pre-holiday book haul. Here’s what I’ve bought since the beginning of October:

• Chasing Holiday Tail — This was a limited availability holiday anthology where 100% of the proceeds went to the authors’ local Humane Society. My friend had a story in it about two dogs falling in love (kind of like Lady and the Tramp), so of course I grabbed a copy before it disappeared!
• Warrior of the Wind by Suyi Davies Okungbowa — Book two is here! And it is on my Kindle! Now if I can just squeeze it into my reading plans for the end of this year…
• Generation Ship by Michael Mammay — You know I love everything by this author. His books have become an auto-buy for me, and I’m really excited to check out this one because it’s his first space opera!
• Marked by Magic by Lindsay Buroker — The first book in a new series by this author. I’ve only read one other book by her, but the blurb for this one sounded great, and the price was right, so I decided to one-click.
• Writing the Shadow by Joanna Penn — I definitely do NOT need another writing craft book, but somehow I couldn’t resist buying this one. I’m sneaking it in before my 2024 one-year ban on new writing craft books and workshops goes into effect.
• The Jasad Heir by Sara Hashem — I just purchased this one today because I saw that Orbit was having a sale on books from some of their debut authors. They have been publishing a lot of stuff that I’ve been enjoying recently, so I immediately clicked the link to check it out. I recognized this book from the Goodreads Choice awards (under the new “romantasy” category), remembered thinking that it looked like something I might like, and grabbed a copy.

Have you read any of these? Or do you have any on your TBR? Anything you highly recommend that I push the the tippy top of my TBR? Let me know what you think in the comments.
