Bless the nice folks at Macmillan, who make librarians feel super important by giving us fruit and coffee and veggies and fancy crackers and then showering us in lots of lots of ARCs. This is not the kind of treatment I get often, but when I do it makes my day. Wanna see what I got?
Let’s talk about this rad ass Wrinkle in Time bag, which got ripped almost immediately on the crowded N train. It’s still really freaking cool, though, and I’m going to use it anyway.
Wrinkle in Time graphic novel! Holy crap!
Halleloo! It’s raining ARCs.
OH BOI!
Stack of books are for kitty butts.
So, here’s some stuff that I’m pretty psyched about. Some I got ARCs of, some not. I included 3 word reviews, because I haven’t read them yet.
Creepy mermaid time!

So, those are the books I’m extra excited about. But, who knows? Maybe I’ll end up liking completely different ones from my stack of ARCs.
If you’ll excuse me, I have a lot of reading to do.
