I think I jinxed myself when I said I was doing a good job of not acquiring books...
Two purchases today. One because it's women's history, and one the next in a mystery series I've been collecting.
* Obstinate Daughters: The Rebels, Writers, and Renegade Women Who Ignited the American Revolution by Denise Kiernan
* The Mysterious Affair of Judith Potts by Robert Thorogood

An ARC by an author I've read before, out now I believe: Most Ardently Yours by Freya Sampson (fiction/romance with a speculative element).

Back at work after a week's vacation, & grabbed an ARC: due to be published 9/26, Lucy Foley trying to channel Agatha Christie to create a Miss Marple novel in the form of Murder at the Grand Alpine Hotel.
And on a break I purchased a historical novel I preordered: Secret Society of Librarians by Kate Thompson. I now own 3 of her works. One of these days I'm even going to read them...

Grabbed a middle grade mystery ARC because at my store I'm one of the only booksellers who read children's books: Ghost in the Night by Tiffany D. Jackson (pub 8/26).
