I’ve added THIRTEEN titles to my TBR this month.
I was auto-approved for FIVE titles and my requests were approved for SIX more. I received ONE book directly from Orenda Books, ONE directly from the author, and the thirteenth title I received after being invited to join ‘Secret Readers‘ hosted by Orion Books.
The book I am most excited to read of this bookhaul is the one I received directly from Orenda Books. At long last, I have a copy of Agnes Ravatn’s latest novel “The Seven Doors“. I’ve been anxiously awaiting this one ever since I read and reviewed her previous novel “The Bird Tribunal” back in January of 2017, which was my favourite read of that year.
From Secret Readers I downloaded the following title:
I was approved for ONE title from Edelweiss in July:
I was excited to get this one as it is the sequel to “The Tenant” which I reviewed last April.
AND… I downloaded NINE titles from NetGalley in July:
I was excited to get this one as it is the sequel to “Nine Elms” which I reviewed July 2020.

I would have done the same! I have come to the conclusion it’s the joy of having the books
not getting them all read🤗

Well stated Gaye. At present I have 247 review commitments. Given that I only read about 110 per year, I’ll never get to the ones I’ve actually purchased. LOL Hope you are having a wonderful (though hot) summer.

The description that refers to a witty and suspenseful take on the classic Jane Eyre story ; the good Goodreads rating it has from other readers ; the eye-catching cover.
