December Book Haul
Happy New Year lovelies! 2018 seemed to go very fast for me, but I still managed to read a lot. I am aiming to do similarly this year, but also to try and buy fewer books. I don’t have a lot of confidence on that last part 😉 So to finish up by 2018 round up, here are the books I got in December: The Last Magician by Lisa Maxwell Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor The Help by Kathryn Stockett Snow Like Ashes by Sara Raasch This Splintered Silence by Kayla Olson Honor Among Thieves by Rachel Caine and Ann Aguirre Skyward by Brandon Sanderson The Dark…

October Book Haul

August Book Haul
So I was determined not to buy any books in August except my boxes. And for the most part I was good…. except for how I wasn’t! I *accidentally* went into Waterstones and got three books (though all on stamps and points mwahahaha free books!). Then I was *forced* to order one on amazon to finish a series and it was £6 or two for £7 so… It really wasn’t my fault there. Honest. Then I claimed a bunch of Moon’s books when she did an unhaul. lol. And went into waterstones again. All in all, I basically got a lot of books! Hehehehe. Moxie by Jennifer Mathieu Secrets of…

July Book Haul
I am separating this months post into two lots – pre and post YALC! So before YALC I got: Tarnished City by Vic James Bright Ruin by Vic James (kindly sent to me by the publisher) Beautiful Broken Things by Sara Barnard Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erikson (birthday present from the lovely Maja) Jade City by Fonda Lee Marked by Benedict Jacka Nyxia Unleashed by Scott Reingten Heart of Thorns by Bree Barton Lifel1k3 by Jay Kristoff Record of a Spaceborn Few by Becky Chambers Not too awful (or too good, lol) considering mostly YALC books or pre orders. Plus fairyloot and a birthday two book splurge and…

June Book Haul
I had a mid-month bookcident. And then an end of month splurge. Guys, I seriously cannot be trusted with money. On the plus side I did manage to limit it to books I want to read for YALC. And monetarily, it was only 6 new books that I didn’t know I was going to buy, which isn’t dreadful. I suppose… :/ My haul was: Exile by S M Wilson (pre ordered) A Thousand Perfect Notes by C G Drew (May Illumicrate) Ascension by Victor Dixon (won in a insta comp, and it’s signed! <3) Light Years by Kass Morgan ARC (May Illumicrate) The Last of the Firedrakes by Farah Oomerbhoy…

May Book Haul
May was …less good than April in terms of haul. I bought a few books because authors were going to be at YALC, or sale, and then ALL the pre orders came out in May, and I “accidentally” stumbled across a few other books. 😀 My haul was: Goodbye, Perfect by Sara Barnard The Grisha Trilogy box set by Leigh Bardugo Beyond a Darkened Shore by Jessica Leake The Beasts Heart by Leife Shalcross Charmcaster by Sebastien De Castell The Queens of Innis Lear by Tessa Gratton Onyx and Ivory by Mindee Arnett The Surface Breaks by Louise O Neill Ash Princess by Laura Sebastian, an ARC kindly provided by…

April Book Haul
So as you guys all know, last month I acquired FAR too many books. So this month I went out into the world determined not to buy any more books. I had a couple of pre orders due, plus two book boxes. I thought it would be easy. Now as I’m sure you’re dying to know – this is how I did! Time Bomb by Joelle Charbonneau (pre ordered, and one of my anticipated 2018 releases) To Kill a Kingdom by Alexandra Christo (kindly sent to me by the lovely and amazing Aurora Sights) The Beast Player by Nahoko Uehashi (which I won on twitter <3) Victory Conditions by Elizabeth…

I have been loving reading everyone’s, so thought I’d join in 🙂 So in March I gained a few more books than planned… Though a good portion were in book boxes or pre ordered!
