Hey all you readers out there, this is my first Book Haul Post, I love book hauls and do them quite often, so expect book hauls in future post.  I just had a birthday on April 28th and here are some of the cool new books I got.  Also I just received an ARC of Lock Every Door By Riley Sager which wrote my top book of 2018 The Last Time I Lied, so that ARC is like a birthday present to me.

The Words of Radiance By Brandon Sanderson – Sanderson is on of my favorite science fiction writers, I think he’s always doing something interesting and adds a lot to the genre.  This is the second Novel in his Stormlight Archive series.  I loved The Way of Kings and rated it five stars, this novel is a behemoth and is over 1000 pages, I’ll try to time it when I have a lot of time.

Sour Candy by Kealan Patrick Burke – This is one that I kept seeing on a lot of horror blogs that I follow about a father and son relationship, only problem is the kid is not his son, they only met a couple of days ago.  I have heard it is super creepy and wanted to check it out.  it’s a independent book and the library did not carry it.

Meddling Kids by Edgar Cantero – This novel sounds like it is a cross between Stephen King’s IT and Scooby gang.  Cantero writes humor and a unique vision into his writing, Earlier this year I read his This Bodies Not Big Enough for Both of Us which through the wise cracking detective genre on it’s head, having two twin’s trapped in the same body one’s the detective and the other is the “wise cracker”.

Fellside, The Girl with All the Gifts, and The Boy on the Bridge, all by M. R. Carey – is all of his novel work, I was a big fan of his comic book work on Unwritten, Lucifer, and the X-Men.  Enough friends have said I will love it for me not to indulge.  I’m a huge Joss Whedon fan from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and he gives an endorsement on the cover.  The girl with All the Gifts and The Boy on the Bridge are both from the same universe.

The Troop by Nick Cutter – This novel is supposed to be half Lord of the Flies and half Zombie Apocalypse. I tried to get an ARC when I was still a newbie blogger and could not get one.  Stephen King, “calls it old school horror at it’s best.
