The book I decided to grab is Queen of Thieves. I was stuck between choosing This book and What Lies in the Woods. They both seemed like they could be really good books, but I decided to add a Historical Fiction to my physical book collection. I also received a free birthday credit and decided to grab The Kiss Curse by Erin Sterling, which is the second book to The Ex Hex. I enjoyed The Ex Hex and since I have the BOTM version of it, I decided to grab the second book in the BOTM version as well.

Are any of these books on your TBR? Which one’s are you interested in?

Hell Bent is on my tbr! I loved Ninth House.
