May Book Haul

I’ve decided to start a monthly “series” where I post all the books Mandy and I have hauled including NetGalley ARCs, Edelweiss ARCs (when I actually get approved LOL), physical ARCs (99.9% Mandy here), library books, and physical books we buy with our coins giftcards*. This was certainly a slow month for the BPR princesses. Should we say that we…contained ourselves somehow??

But even with all the rules she has for her life — and all the rules everyone expects her to play by — once Emoni starts cooking, her only real choice is to let her talent break free.
