October 2024 Book Haul

I decided to skip straight to October because I am an idiot who just presses the button to acknowledge my alarms and then does nothing about it. Let's see if I can keep up now? (Probably not) 

In October, I picked up 5 books: 

1. The Duke's Cowboy by Andrew Grey - It looked amusing. I don't know what else to tell you. Some posh Brit is on his way to San Francisco gets snowed in to this little town in Wyoming where he runs into a rancher poised to inherit his family business. Love (lust?) blooms between them and that's literally all I know. The cover is also giving Harlequin romance, and I am down for that. 

2. The Spore Queen by Deborah Castaneda - People go missing, including a reporter named Maria Hart. Her friend goes looking for her and finds just a fungal growth. People are convinced its fine until more folks go missing...then they discoZver something evil? I don't know. It looked pretty good so I wanted to try it. I think it will be a genius horror novel. 

3. A River of Royal Blood by Amanda Joy - Eva must fight her sister Isa in order to determine who will be the next ruler in the Queendom of Myre. She has some kind of rare "evil" magick that hasn't been seen in a long time. I dunno what else is gonna happen other than a romance with someone, probably an outcast or a guard. I got this one from a friend of mine who read it and thought I needed it. 

4. The Grimoire of Kings by Blake R. Wolfe - Tyler and his friend steal a book and end up having to figure out how to get themselves out of a strange land. They learn more about themselves along the way. It looked interesting and really, I cannot turn down a free ebook. I'm curious about how they are gonna get themselves out of whatever fantasy world they've ended up in. 

5. The Book of Witching by C.J. Cooke - It had been a toss up between this one and one of the other options (that was more historical fantasy) and I ended up going with this one because I am curious about the way the plot will unfold. This mom is horrified when her daughter gets in a wreck and when she wakes up, she won't answer to her own name any more. She answers to Nyx. Clem (the mom) goes to find out what happened and uncovers a weird history. It looked good and perfect for the spoopy season, so yeah. I couldn't resist.
