Lootz: Mogsy’s Book Haul
Very excited about this week’s Book Lootz:
Tainted Blood – kicking things off with this ARC of my most anticipated book this fall! It’s book 3 of the Generation V series by M.L. Brennan, and I have her to thank for sending me this lovely gem. Words cannot express my gratitude and excitement.
The Ultra Thin Man – I admit, I didn’t know much about this book before Tor sent along this copy, but it sounds like a pretty interesting sci-fi which I wouldn’t mind reading.
Echopraxia – I was debating reading this book and even bought the first book when I saw it on sale, just in case. Then it showed up unexpectedly, so my thanks to Tor. And it’s also looking more likely I will be checking this out.
Age of Iron – Druids and Iron Age warriors! Yes, please! This one’s courtesy of Orbit, and I’m really looking forward to it.
The Falcon Throne – I was pretty surprised by the way this ARC came, tied with a colored tissue paper ribbon and with what I assume is supposed to be a “Falcon” feather. Really excited to read this, but when the time comes I’ll probably be really reluctant to break apart that lovely presentation. Simply beautiful work, Orbit. Though I must say, that’s an interesting juxtaposition with all that bloodshed on the cover!
The Midnight Queen – courtesy of Ace/Penguin, I’m actually reading this now and so far it’s as gorgeous as its cover. Keep an eye out for the review in the next few weeks!
No digital ARCs/purchases to feature this time, because I’ve been very good at resisting the temptation, to the joy of my NetGalley account, my wallet, and my summer schedule!
The BiblioSanctum 
I am so envious of your haul. And Generation V, it has been on my TBR for a very long time but never got the around to reading it. I agree with Midnight Queen, it really is gorgeous. It’s good that the content justified that wonderful cover.
Nice haul, Mogsy. Hope you have fun reading all of them.

You must check out Generation V, it’s great and the sequel is even better. That’s a good sign for book 3 🙂

Age of Iron? What is this about? I must look it up because it completely skipped my radar.

I’ve seen mention of it here and there, but I don’t think it’s been heavily promoted. It sounded really cool to me.

I love the falcon feather, but you’re right that cover is a bit startling! Dying to start the “V” books, I’m looking forward to your review. I also have a copy of The Midnight Queen and I may read it soon since you are loving it:-) Awesome haul, enjoy!

Miller has been known to write some pretty dark books, so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised! And I look forward to comparing notes with you for Midnight Queen 🙂

I’ve been looking forward to Echopraxia, but I agree, the presentation on The Falcon Throne really is something else. Congrats on nabbing a copy.
Here’s how I’m Stacking the shelves this week.

I think it’s really cool when publishers spruce up their ARCs with little things like that, always interesting on the rare occasion I see that.

ECHOPRAXIA!!! I loved that one 😀 You should definitely read it soon; you’ll never look at vampires or zombies the same way again.

Ooh, vampires and zombies, that’s the last thing I would have expected! But I love the sound of that 😀

It’s pretty crazy. But REALLY hard science fiction.

I read the Ultra Thin Man this week and thought it was pretty average – and my review copy had some pretty horrendous grammar issues too, haha. Hopefully it’ll go over better for you! The Midnight Queen sounds awesome though. Love it when a beautiful cover actually reflects good quality writing.

Oh man, that’s kinda disappointing! But I’m looking forward to seeing your thoughts. It was an unsolicited review copy so I will read it if I have time.
