February 2021 Book Haul

So, as usual, i think in my last haul i said i was going to stop buying books, and as usual, they didn’t happen did it. I had my birthday, and honestly when stuck inside during lockdown i’ve found i tend to just buy a lot of books! I didn’t need any of these, almost all were online buys (with the exception of ones i picked up on my weekly trip to the supermarket). I cannot wait to get back in to a real book shop.

Admittedly, this last few months i’ve excessively bought books, and because it’s been my birthday, i was also gifted some books. I’m excited to read all of these, but i know it might take me some time to do so. Here is the lengthy list of what i bought myself in the last six weeks or so:

Last One To Die by Cynthia Murphy

He Started It by Samantha Downing

I had some wonderful book gifts from my friends and family for my birthday too. Here are those:

The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman

For my birthday my boyfriend also got me an 11 month subscription to Mr B’s Emporium, where they will send me a book each month tailored to what i enjoy!

And finally i have been lucky enough to get my hands on some anticipated books for review from publishers. I have received these in exchange for an honest review.

Malice by Heather Walter

The Conductors by Nicole Glover

The Wolf and the Woodsman by Ava Reid

Kate On The Case by Hannah Peck

Excuse Me While I Ugly Cry by Joya Goffney

Those are all the books that i’ve been lucky enough to aquire in the last few months. If there seems like a lot, it’s because there are a lot. And i know i have so much reading to get through. During lockdown, book buying has definitely become more of a habit than i would have liked it to become, so lets hope this is the start of a more relaxed book buying few months.
