Inspired by The Deliberate Reader here are the new books I picked up in April. I’m currently reading Sorting the Beef from the Bull and Lord Foulgrin’s Letters. I’m really looking forward to reading Order of Magnitude, since I really enjoyed The Engineer Wizard and can’t wait to see where the second book takes the characters. I am also looking forward to reading the two ARCs (advanced reader copies) I got this month. Which induces my friend’s novel Through the Shadows. I’m also interested in getting start on the Mortal Instruments series with City of Bones.
For Kindle:
Deliver Her – Kindle First
Why I got it: It seemed like it could be an interesting mystery story, and was really the only Kindle First book that seemed like something I might enjoy.
Orders of Magnitude(The Genie and the Engineer Series Book 2) – Kindle Lending Library
Why I got it: I loved the first book in this series.
Why I got it: It was free from BookBub and seemed like a good fantasy story.
Why I got it: Another BookBub recommendation.
From The Library:
Why I got it: I am fascinated by food science, this book was brand new to our library and immediately caught my eye.
ARCs:
Why I got it: My friend Karen Barnett’s 3rd book in her Golden Gate Chronicles. Abingdon Press sent it to me as an advance readers copy (but I also bought a copy, I had it on order from day 1 of pre-orders.)
Why I got it: This book came from the LibraryThing Early Readers group. I’m pretty excited though because I had been following the buzz about the book on social media.
Purchases:
Why I got it: Sometimes I just need to pick up a good cheap fantasy from a thrift store.
Why I got it: I have read quite a few books by Daivd Wilkerson and enjoyed them. I am also very interested in the theology behind the names of God in the Bible.
Why I got it: Another thrift store find. Looked like the sort of YA fantasy I enjoy.
Why I got it: I haven’t read any of the Mortal Instruments yet. I know, I know… this is totally the type of book I read and love… shhh, I’m getting to it.

Great haul this week! I haven’t heard of any of these, but there are some intriguing titles above–I’ll have to check them out!
Thanks so so much for stopping by my StS this week–I hope you enjoy your newest acquisitions. Happy book-ing to you!
Got me curious about the Gwyneth Paltrow one. There is cookbook related one with her currently out that I’m interested in too. Happy reading 🙂
Thanks for coming and taking a look at my blog! The Gwyneth Paltrow book is really about celebrity culture, and how we want to listen to and follow celebrities even when they are NOT the experts.
Looks like you got a nice haul. The Kindle First books were a bit lacking this month, I got The Butterfly Garden. Hope you enjoy all your reads!
Here’s my StS & Recap
I use BookBub too and get some nice recs sometimes, along with Amazon and Smashwords. There is nothing like getting a few free books to try! Thanks for stopping by my blog and I hope you have a good reading week!
All of these are new to me. Sorting the Beef from the Bull is definitely piquing my interest!
