Books I Gave Up On (1) - The Book of the Most Precious Substance by Sarah Gran: Billed as a romance thriller. It was neither. Somehow the book made sex magic boring. Gave up about halfway through.

I grabbed two books from this month’s Book of the Month selections.
A Curse Carved in Bone by Danielle Jensen
Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by VE Schwab
I also had a preorder copy of Irresistible Devil by Jenny Nordbak and Stolen Vows by San R. Miller get delivered.
And during the Bookish Retreat, I bought seven books and received two in the exchange.
