Mogsy’s Book Haul

The year’s NaNoWriMo has been going great so far; I’ve been keeping up with my word count every day and have on a several occasions even managed to churn out a review or two for the site. Which is nice because I’ve received some amazing books for review in the last two weeks.

Allegiance – courtesy of Tor, the final and third book, actually, of Beth Bernobich’s River of Souls trilogy which I’ve heard a lot about but have never gotten a chance to read. I may have to remedy that.

Knife Sworn and The Tower Broken – from Jo Fletcher, the follow-up books to Mazarkis Williams fantastic debut The Emperor’s Knife. I’ve just finished Knife Sworn and loved it, so keep an eye out for the review on Monday, and I can’t wait to get to book 3.

Hell Bent – I’ve always wanted to check out Devon Monk’s books, and I finally got the chance to do it with Hell Bent, the first book of her new urban fantasy series spun off from her Allie Beckstrom books. Like I said in my review, I think it’s off to a good start.

Vicious – with thanks to Pabkins from MyShelfConfessions, I finally got a chance to read this book, which everyone is raving about! As well they should! It was fantastic.

Iron Night – the sequel to M.L. Brennan’s Generation V and it was INCREDIBLE. A full review will have to wait until closer to the release date, but this one was one of my most highly anticipated novels of the new year and it was everything I hoped for an more!

The digital pile:

The Daedalus Incident and Ice Forged – two books that I’ve had my eye on for a long time, and mashing the “1-click” buy button was practically instinctual when I saw these as Kindle deals on their respective days. Subsequently, so was picking up their Whispersync audiobooks at the greatly reduced price.

Cold Magic and The Innocent Mage – and while on the topic of audiobooks, the Audible matchmaker tool is like the most evil thing ever. Running my Kindle library through the thing alerted me to some of my older ebook purchases that now have Whispersync enabled audiobooks. Some of them were at $2-3 a pop, which is how I ended up with these two new titles in audio format.

The Emperor’s Blades -I’d just gotten my NetGalley stats back up past 80% this summer, but since then I’ve made a few new requests. I really should be polishing off books I already have but I couldn’t resist when I saw this one. Another one of my most highly anticipated books of the new year, and I’d been waiting patiently for it to go up on NG for a long time. Tor has so many great books coming out in the coming months, they are killing me!
