- Wolf Flight
- Mangos and Mistletoe
- I also bought this for Christmas, and also didn’t get to it. Ah, well. Next December!
- the “Feel Better” romance bundle — if you missed hearing about this, one of the authors in the Kit Rocha duo found out some really terrible medical news and was facing a mountain of bills, so a ton of authors lovingly volunteered their books to be part of this bundle where all the proceeds went to pay the author’s medical treatment! Not only was it a great cause, but I want to say you only had to pay at least $10 to get all of these books. I threw in a little extra, but it was still a freaking STEAL — several of these were on my wishlist already and were $3-5 apiece normally!

GAMES:

Destiny @ Howling Libraries
December 31, 2019Thank you! Ooooh, how is it so far? 😀
MetalPhantasmReads
January 6, 2020So far it is a more “quiet” plot so far but I like that it’s based on Persian myth and I like the rappacini’s daugther plotline with the girl being poisonous. I’ll keep you posted 🙂
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
January 23, 2020Excellent! 😀
MetalPhantasmReads
January 6, 2020So far so good. I didn’t read as much as I wanted in December but I hope to pick it back up after a few ARCs get read 🙂

December 27, 2019I loved Crier’s War! Also there are review copies of audiobooks?!?!?! I need those, I would get through so many more ARC/Review Copies if they were audio!
Great Haul as always and definitely can’t wait to hear some of your thoughts on these!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries

Thank you, doll!

December 28, 2019Nice haul! I keep wavering on whether or not I want to read Crier’s War. I’m interested to hear your thoughts on it!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
December 31, 2019I was going back and forth on it a lot too, based off of the synopsis, but hearing all the rave reviews finally convinced me! ?

Let's Get Galactic
December 28, 2019I got SO MANY GAMES from Steam’s Winter Sale! I keep all my credit from selling/trading stuff in the marketplace for when they have big ones, and love going ham, hahah. Two Point Hospital is one of my fav new additions!!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries

December 29, 2019Happy belated Christmas, Destiny <3 I hope you and your family had a lovely time and I'm sending you all lots and lots of love <3 <3
It looks like you've got so many fantastic books to read! I am super hyped to read Cemetery Boys and praying I can my hands on an ARC of it somehow! For Christmas I got some BEAUTIFUL books which I may do a post about if I get time tomorrow: I got a hardback copy of The Electric State, the illustrated Goblet of Fire (cries over bad timing), American Cosmic which is an ethnography which I am very excited about, and Notes on a Thesis which is a super cute comic/graphic novel about doing a PhD; and a paperback copy of The Ascent to Godhood and a cute MG book about bird-watching.
Games-wise I got The Sims 4 Discover University & the Fame expansion which I have been playing the HELL out of, Pokemon Sword, and AC: Odyssey! Looks like you've also got a lot of cool games in the humble bundle which should keep you busy as well 😉
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
January 1, 2020Merry belated Christmas to you too, love, and happy new year! I hope 2020 treats you well <3
Ahh, those sound excellent! Lol at the "cries over bad timing", I feel you ?? And I hope you're able to get a copy of Cemetery Boys! I would send you mine to share if I could! ♥
AC:O sounds so cool, is it good? ?

December 30, 2019Destiny, I LOOOOVE The Wolf Among Us!! I hope you’ll post about it when you play. 🙂 I hauled Pokemon Sword this month and have been spending most of my time on that, since I’ve been in a bit of a book slump.
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
January 1, 2020Yaaaay! I can’t believe I’ve never played it, but I’m really excited! Awww, I hope your slump passes soon but I’m glad you’ve had something fun to play while you wait 😀
