Happy New Year everybody!! I hope you all had a fun evening to celebrate the new year! 2016 was kind of a crappy year for a lot of things so I’m very excited about having a fresh start.
I was actually pretty impressed about my book buying this past month. I didn’t buy as many as I had been. I also received a couple as gifts or giveaways.
I received this ARC from The Novl. It publishes just a couple of days from now and I’m very excited to read it.
I was lucky enough to win a Twitter giveaway this month for a signed copy of Ivory and Bone! I can’t wait to read this one!
From my brother and sister-in-law I received this stunning book! The inside is so awesome!
I actually received two copies of this for Christmas. One from my mom and one from my hubby’s cousin. I’m going to exchange one copy but I’m not sure what book I’ll get in its place yet.
From my dear friend I got this gorgeous reading journal! I’m so excited to use it. I think it will be really helpful when I’m trying to write book reviews. There are gorgeous illustrations too of female literary characters with quotes dispersed throughout the book. And also some book award lists for reading inspiration. Check out the inside!
Isn’t it awesome! I also love how there is a section to put books to check out and your favorites.
I read and loved Salt to the Sea by Rita Sepetys so I knew I wanted to read her other books. I had Between Shades of Grey already so this month I decided to get Out of the Easy.
I have yet to start this series but I have been repeatedly assured that I will love it so I got the 4th book and preordered the 5th book.
This was another one of my preorders! I had read this story when Colleen had it up on Wattpad and knew that I wanted a physical copy if she were to ever publish it. I got it signed too 🙂
Then to complete my CoHo physical collection I bought the Never Never books she wrote with her bestie, Tarryn Fisher.
I’ve been starting to collect the Supernatural novelizations and I found this one on Book Outlet.
I also found a few classics on Book Outlet that I wanted to add to my collection. I love the Modern Library Classics editions.
Ever since I found out about these Harry Potter covers, I knew I had to have them! I found the boxed set on Book Outlet and jumped on it.
I also added another edition of Cross Stitch aka Outlander to my ever expanding collection. This is a rare limited print edition and I got a great deal on it on eBay.
So that is my final book haul of 2016! I can’t wait to start reading all of these books.
Great haul. Wishing you and yours a blessed ,healthy and happy 2017. Enjoy your books. That readers journal is nice.

What a great haul! I love that HP set. Also super jealous of the Fantastic Beasts book. I saw it in a store while I was Christmas shopping but didn’t really have the money to buy it at the time. It looked awesome, though! That reading journal is gorgeous, too. I might have to buy myself one. 🙂

Thanks! I was so excited when I opened that book from my brother. It was a bit more expensive so I probably wouldn’t have gotten it if it wasn’t a gift lol. I love the journal! She got it through Uncommon Goods. 🙂

Fab haul! I bought the Fantastic Beasts book for my brother but immediately ‘adopted’ it to look through – it’s really beautiful and fun inside!

Oh man, I wish I could get a copy of Cross Stitch! How beautiful would that be with my Outlander books? And I love, love, love your reader’s journal! Maybe I should think about getting one for next year. Enjoy all your new goodies!

I’m seriously in love with that copy of Cross Stitch. I also have a mass market of Cross Stitch but its nowhere near as pretty as this one. The reader’s journal is so cool! My friend bought this particular one from Uncommon Goods.
