Forgot to share this when I got them in, but here's the books I bought for Christmas! Really excited to dig into the #PoppyWar trilogy after enjoying Babel, and I've heard so many good things about Legendborn. And I picked up Black Sun because I've been wanting to read more sci-fi in general.

Poppy War influences: Companion reading / spoilers for the fantasy novel Poppy War. The details of East Asian history that are the basis for the book. It's grim.

Aaagh, I need to get to this! I had the eARC, but was needing lighter stuff for a few months and never got to it pre-release. I /loved/ #PoppyWar, but it had serious problems, clearly because Kaung grew a ton as a writer during the trilogy and couldn’t quite overcome some of the weakness of book one that no longer aligned with their vision by book 3. So I’m PUMPED to read more of #RFKaung, but need to find the right time for a dark chonker!
