Book Haul/Vacation Books – 20 September 2023

I’ve had a good week for books, having been lucky enough to receive four amazing reads that I am particularly excited to read, including three novels that were amongst my most anticipated novels for 2023.  While these four books are pretty damn awesome, I would usually wait to get a few more books before doing a Book Haul post.  However, I’m heading out for vacation tomorrow so it’s going to be a while before I will be able to do a follow-up post.  So instead, I’m going to list the four new releases I got, while also highlighting what books I am planning to take away on vacation with me.

Book Haul:

Holly by Stephen King

Holly Cover

I was very happy to receive a copy of the new Stephen King book, Holly, which is set around a gruesome and complex mystery.  I’ve actually already finished Holly off, and it is easily one of the best and most captivating noels of 2023.  I am hoping to get a review up for Holly soon, but it comes very highly recommended to anyone interested in an exceptional read.

Amazon

Prima Facie by Suzie Miller

Prima Facie Cover

The novel version of Suzie Miller’s play of the same name and an intriguing legal thriller.

House of Open Wounds by Adrian Tchaikovsky

House of Open Wounds Cover

I managed to get an early copy of House of Open Wounds by Adrian Tchaikovsky through Netgalley and I am very excited about it.  The sequel to the exceptional City of Last Changes, House of Open Wounds has an amazing plot of a group of unusual and magic healers drafted in an unconventional medical unit.  This book sounds so damn fun, and while I was hoping to enjoy House of Open Wounds on audiobook, I am very tempted to dive into this early copy.

Kill Your Husbands by Jack Heath

Kill Your Husbands Cover

Another great book from Netgalley, Kill Your Husbands is an excellent sounding murder mystery from one of my favourite Australian authors and the great sequel to his previous book, Kill Your Brother.  I am very excited to check this book out and I know I am going to love all the clever twists and turns.

Travel Books:

I’m taking an interesting collection of books with me for the coming weeks.  I’m hoping to get through a few novels that have been on my to-read list for a while so it should be an interesting couple of weeks.

Well, that’s the end of this latest Book Haul post.  As you can see I have quite a bit of reading to do at the moment thanks to all these awesome books that have come in.  Let me know which of the above you are most interested in and make sure to check back in a few weeks to see my reviews of them.
