My YALC book haul from last year looks extremely disappointing next to this years. I made sure when i was there that i set myself a limit on how much i wanted to spend, only got books i really wanted and let myself grab some ARCs i might not normally read to try out some new genres. I met all those criteria, but i still ended up with a lot of books…
It’s been a while since i’ve uploaded a full book haul including everything i’ve bought recently. After saying to myself that i was on a buying ban until after YALC and ultimately failing that rule for myself, i’ve ended up with quite a few books.
I know i said in my last book haul that this book buying needs to stop. It still definitely does need to stop and i’m now back on a book buying ban until YALC at the end of July. However, in the last month i’ve picked up a few bargains and offers that i couldn’t refuse. A lot of these books were bought in preparation for YALC, so it’s kind of an excuse, right? Here’s another haul for you.
It’s been quite a while since i’ve done a book haul. My lent goal this year was to not buy books while it lasted, and i actually achieved it! However, i may have put some in the store cupboard at work for when it was over, and i also treated myself to a few Amazon purchases in the first hour after it ended. Along with that and being on holiday and some new releases, i’ve managed to acquire quite a few new books in the last month or so. I would by lying if i said i’d remember everything i got, so here’s a snippet of what’s joined my shelves recently.
I haven’t done a book haul for a little while, and i’ve picked up a lot of books since my last one. I genuinely think i have a problem now, why are there not support groups for book buying problems? Anyway… I got some books for my birthday and around my birthday, so i thought i should share with you what i got! Not all the books i’ve gained since Christmas are in this haul, because to be honest, i cannot remember for the life of me what they all are (i told you this is a problem)!
I hope everyone has had a wonderful Christmas with families and friends, and lets face it, i also hope Santa left some nice books for you on the 25th. I had a really great Christmas, shut off from the world with my nearest and dearest and to be honest, did a lot of lazing around reading. I also happened to get a lot of great books for Christmas.
I know that i said i would cut down on book buying, and i will (i promise), however i had another blogger friend stay a few days and we ended up book shopping, as imagined we would. So naturally i bought some books and i found some that have been on my book list for a very long time. This is obviously my justification. Here’s what i picked up!
