I’ve been on something of a book buying frenzy over the past couple of months, hitting up bookstores, small presses, and library sales (and in one case a contest win!) to the point that my bookshelves are overwhelmed and the stacks around my home are growing into towers. Although I’ve been a slow reader lately, there are many of these books that I’m super excited about and I can’t wait to dive into them.
- Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi
- I am Not Your Final Girl, poetry by Claire C Holland (won this in a contest! woo!)
- Let’s Not Live On Earth, poetry by Sarah Blake (which I just finished reading and need to review
- To Live Here, poetry by Soul Vang
- Star Wars: From a Certain Point of ViewÂ
- The Changeling by Victor LaValle
- The Price Guide to the Occult by Leslye Walton
- The Tale of Tales by Giambattista Basile
- The Turnip Princess and Other Newly Discovered Fairy Tales by Franz Xavier von Schönwerth
- The Letters of Abelard and Helloise
- Children of Lovecraft, edited by Ellen Datlow
- Death in Venice by Thomas Mann
- Prime Meridian by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
- The Novelists Lexicon: Writers on the Words That Define Their Work
And in a separate pic, because some of my chapbook buys don’t have spines to show:
- Salsa Night at Hilo Town Tavern, poetry by Kristofer Collins
- No God in This Room, poetry by Athena Dixon
- Slut Songs, poetry by Jade Hurter
What do you think? Any books I should jump into reading first?

I am nearly done with Children of Blood and Bone – I am loving its world-building and character development. And the author is a former middle school student of mine – I’m so thrilled for her!
That’s so awesome, Donna! I’ve heard nothing but good things about this book, and it’s probably the one I’m most excited to read. 🙂
