Saddle up: It’s time for another big book round-up! YEE HAW! I am so excited for so many books coming out in the next few weeks, many of which are out this week. And you can hear more about some of them on this week’s episode of the All the Books! Rebecca and I talked about a few amazing books we loved, such as Pull Me Under, The Gold Eaters, and Virgin and Other Stories.
This week’s newsletter is sponsored by Arrndgros by Pyotr Andreyev.
Every fantasy reader thinks they know orcs. Savage and brutal. Ferocious in battle. Mindless monsters to be feared—or better yet, obliterated—by those who encounter them.
However, the truth, in both fantasy and reality, is more complex than first impressions suggest. Violent though they may be, orcs have their own rich cultures, spiritual lives, and traditions. Societies where strength, bravery, and skill in battle are prized.
Join the orcs of Arrndgros as they explore, reclaim lost lands, and march to war. Discover orcs as you’ve never seen them—proud, passionate, courageous, and, yes, brutal. Discover the warrior’s emotion. Discover Arrndgros.
