I keep all the TBR jar slips for books I've read during the year so I have a nice satisfying pile of things I read. Time to clear them out and start fresh!

Book Haul, Part 2! Made out pretty good at the used bookstore near my parents. Picked up a couple things I didn't own in hard copy, plus some things that have been on my TBR for a while!
And nearly everything in this pile was $5 each!

Well this is new. Goodreads has implemented a new feature for reviewing advanced copies that asks you to "verify" where you got the copy from. Your review is then labeled with the source.
On the one hand, these extra steps might stave off bots? (1/?)

Happy Wednesday! What are you currently reading?
I'm working on my ARC of The Red Winter, a story of a monster hunter who is called back to vanquish a creature he thought he defeated 20 years ago.
About 1/3 of the way done and enjoying it quite a bit!

I tried very hard not to request this...and then my finger slipped.
But I mean come on, THE TRIDENT AND THE PEARL is about a queen who marries a poor fisherman who is secretly the god of the sea, how could I not? (Especially with that cover).
