Here is the sum total of all the books I got this month! Some new, some used, some to replace copies I already have… I wasn’t expecting to get this many books but I had some good lucky finding them all!
- White Fang by Jack London – I got this for free at the local clothes closet. Childhood classic.
- The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan – I said in a post earlier this month that I would probably never read this series but it was only $0.50 at the clothes closet so I had to just get it and give it a try.
- Catch-22 by Joseph Heller – Another $0.50 find at the clothes closet. It has been over a decade since I read this book.
- The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory – I bought this copy to replace the copy I have. I had the movie cover edition but I hate having the movie cover editions. This one now matches all of the other copies I have in the series and it was only $1 at the clothes closet.
- Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen – When I was in high school I bought all of the Jane Austen books (except Mansfield Park because it was out) in the Dover Thrift editions. They are super ugly. For my 18th birthday my best friend got me Mansfield Park in the Modern Library Classics edition and I loved it! So now I’m working to get all of the books in the MLC editions.
- Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen – Same as the reason for Northanger Abbey.
- The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern – I read this for the Reading My Library challenge and loved it so much I HAD to have it.
- Made You Up by Francesca Zappia – Such a gorgeous cover and a very interesting synopsis… no brainer.
- Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell – I spent a couple of weeks walking into Target and staring at this one on the shelf but not getting it. Finally, on Saturday I gave in.
- Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli – I borrowed this ebook from my library and absolutely adored it so I had to get it.
- Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard – I’ve been on hold at my library for this book FOREVER and I couldn’t wait any longer.
- Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo – I’ve heard awesome things about this book and it was on a really good sale on Amazon.
- A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas – So many people are going on and on about this book so I had to get this.
- Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas – Loved Throne of Glass so I couldn’t wait to get the next book in the series.
- Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins – Another book read for the Reading My Library challenge that I loved.
- Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins – My library and the other libraries in my network don’t have this one and I really really really want to read it.
- Lord John and the Private Matter by Diana Gabaldon – I scored two of the Lord John books at the hospital book sale so I had to get the first book.
- The Scottish Prisoner by Diana Gabaldon – I’m just so in love with Diana Gabaldon so this was an obvious choice.
Great book haul! Lots of books, it seems! ❤

Dover Thrift editions are super cheap, but super ugly. Crown of Midnight is my fav in the series, I hope you love it! I think I’m going to read Percy Jackson because everyone seems to love it. Made You Up sounds so interesting, it’s on my TBR. Great haul!

They definitely are super cheap! Jane Austen is my favorite so I felt like I needed an upgrade from them 🙂

I’m trying to convince Frank that I NEED the other copy of Fangirl…he refuses, ha! Such a great book haul! I need to get on the Court of Thorns and Roses boat too..sigh.
And I will tell anyone to read Percy Jackson till I am blue in the face 😉 so that one is an obviously awesome choice!

The fanart on the inside covers of Fangirl is awesome!! I’m not a fan of pink so I just thought about getting the green one but the fanart was just too cool to pass up! 🙂

Fantastic book haul!! Anna and Lola are so awesome. So is ACOTAR – I really hope you enjoy it. I need to read Red Queen and Shadow and Bone! Glad to know I’m not the last person in the world who hasn’t read both of those yet. 😉
I really need a pretty copy of Fangirl. I actually only own a physical copy of Landline, but I want to own all RR’s books in hardback eventually.

Thanks! I loved Anna so I can’t wait to read Lola (and Isla eventually). I definitely feel like I’m always behind when it comes to new releases haha.
If you get the new pink edition of Fangirl it has some pretty cool fan art on the inside covers! You might have already known that but just in case you didn’t 🙂 I also own Eleanor and Park but it’s in paperback and I haven’t read it yet. One of those two will be my first RR but I have a feeling I will love her books!

I didn’t realize you hadn’t read an RR book, yet!! You are going to love her!! E&P is my favorite of her YA books. I can’t wait for you to try her books and see what you think!
Isla was my favorite of the series. So worth the long wait for it’s release.
