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!
Hello friends! I went book shopping again! This time, my family took my best friend to one of our favourite book shops. It’s called Brierlow Bar in Buxton and i absolutely love it. It’s two warehouses (or barns) filled with books that are around half off RRP or below. You can usually get some really great bargins there and this time i managed to pick up quite a lot for myself that i’m really excited about, or i’ve had my eye on for a long time. So i bought quite a few books and here they are!
My book ban is making a strong return after August! I’ve gotten in to bad book buying habits recently (which basically means that i’ve been buying too many books) and that needs fixing! I’ve been on holiday this month and there have been a few other events which have lead me to buying books. So here are the books that i bought in August!
