I have been lucky enough after Christmas to have quite a bit of time and money to get myself some books. Obviously, it’s my favourite way to pass time, so i have done a little bit of book shopping since Christmas, and picked up some things i’m incredibly excited for.
After Christmas i always want to support some independant places and pick up whatever i feel like picking up. Between Christmas and New Year i found a lot of books that i’ve had a lot of interest in recently, so definitely couldn’t pass up grabbing them. Here’s what i grabbed from some wonderful independant businesses.

I have also been incredibly lucky to be sent a few books from Penguin in the last few weeks. These are Tales From The Hinterland by Melissa Albert & Lock The Doors by Vincent Ralph. I’m incredibly excited to get to these books and they were a great surprise to keep me entertained at the moment!
I’ve done my Christmas book haul and my after-Christmas book shop, i’m done for a while now. I’m making sure i save a lot of money this year, i don’t want to say that i’m on a book buying ban, but i’m taking a step back and reading what i have (trust me that’s too many anyway).
Did you pick up any books recently? And what do you recommend i start with from this list?
