A Huge Book Haul

I’m going to come out (not of the closet, i already did that), and say that i have bought A LOT of books recently. If you read my last post, i have recently taken some time off work, and that lead to a lot of independant book shop trips. I picked up quite the mix of books in the last few months, and i have to say, i’m really excited about all of them.

I also got a few books this month that have either been gifted or long awaited pre-orders! Gender Euphoria by Laura Kate Dale has been a kickstarter my boyfriend backed for me way earlier in to last year. The signed copies finally got released out in to the world and i’m really looking forward to it! I was also kindly gifted This Is My Truth by Yasmin Rahman by Hot Key Books. Another one i’m incredibly excited to get to very soon.

But really, let’s move on to the bulk of the haul. Some of these have been purchased online, quite a lot have been from a few different independant places that i’ve visited whilst being off work. I’m really happy that i had the chance to visit some shops that i’ve wanted to support throughout the pandemic.
