I am doing much better at keeping the number of books read to the number of books purchased down. In October I've acquired 2 books through various means. (I've picked up samples of others)
1. Starling House by Alix E. Harrow - I rather enjoyed her previous work, The Once and Future Witches, and thought this one would be equally enjoyable. This book takes place in Starling House and follows Opal as she tries to find a way to make life better for herself and her brother Jasper.
2. Stealing by Margaret Verble - It is about a young Cherokee girl who is basically abducted from her people and forced to attend a Christian boarding school. It is very poignant with today's atmosphere and I am looking forward to reading it.
3. The Bone Curse by Carrie Rubin - The third book in this series was available for free via Kindle Unlimited, but since it seems like one of those kinds of series where you have to start at the beginning or you won't understand what's going on, I decided to spend the $2.99 for the ebook. I'm looking forward to it.
4. Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett - I have been seeing this everywhere and the only copies on the bookish site I use are like $150? They are ridiculously expensive. When this popped up on BookBub for $2.99, I absolutely couldn't pass it up. I have no idea what it's about, and I kind of want to keep it that way.
5. Witches of the Dead Kingdom by Ash Oldfield - I was sitting in the break room at work when I got a ping for an email. 'Click here to download your ARC!' from Bookfunnel (I have received books from them before, so I was not concerned), and I have no recollection of asking for it. It looks really good and I'm looking forward to reading it and figuring out what is happening. Something to do with Welsh/Arthurian folklore is all I got.
6. Sword of the Dead by Morgan Rice - I somehow managed to miss that this was a Persephone retelling. I saw the title and the briefest piece of the synopsis and I had to have it. I have no idea what it's about, and I'm looking forward to reading it.
