Winter Book Haul - 2025

Hello, everyone! How was your weekend?

I finally have a HUGE book haul this time! I've been going kinda crazy with my book purchases if I'm being honest. Special editions and sprayed edges just get me every time. Some of these were given to me on Christmas and Valentine's Day though.

Bloodguard by Cecy Robson

Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix Illustrated Edition by JK Rowling

This was a gift. I was given the other 4 illustrated editions quite a while ago.

Bull Moon Rising by Ruby Dixon

The Darkness Within Us by Tricia Levenseller

I didn't realize this was the second book in a duology. The sprayed edges got to me. I guess that means I *have* to purchase the first book...which I'm obviously so bummed about. ;)

Thumb page holders

My husband bought these and the bookmarks to put in my stocking for Christmas.

Loch Ness Book Mark

Bookmarks

Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros

I just happened upon this sprayed edge edition at my local Walmart back in December. I love the dragons on the edges!

Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros

I also found this during the same shopping trip at Walmart! I love the black edges.

Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros

I pre-ordered this edition before the reveal of the special Target edition. I'm actually not sad about that though because I genuinely like the look of the sprayed edges on this edition than the Target one.

Lightlark by Alex Aster

The Cruel Prince by Holly Black

Classic Tales of Mystery by Various Authors

Classic Tales of Christmas by Various Authors

The Stars Are Dying by Chloe C. Penaranda

The Night Is Defying by Chloe C. Penaranda

The Caraval box set

God of Malice

God of Pain

This is the only book in the series that I own that doesn't have sprayed edges. That's okay though, I was thinking about trying to do my own sprayed edging.

God of Wrath
