Winter Book Haul - 2026

 Hello, everyone! How was your weekend?

I was expecting this post to be super small since I put myself on a book buying "ban". It's a "half" ban. I have to read 5 of my physical books before I can buy another one. I was able to buy one book this season! But I was given a lot from my husband for Valentine's Day.

Dracula by Bram Stoker

Yes, I know it's my fourth Dracula book and I don't need it, but it has freaking bats on the edges. I have no self control.

Pen Pal by J.T. Geissinger

We had a blind date book swap at my book club (which ended up being the week of Valentine's Day), and this is the book I got. 

These are all the books David bought for me for Valentine's Day. <3

The Wicked King by Holly Black

Rook & Rebel by Kate Crew

Love Me Stalk Me by Laura Bishop

 

This was our book club pick for February. 

 

The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice

 

 

The rest of the books are from the Villains series by Serena Valentino. He wasn't able to get them all in order because some were out of stock.

Mother Knows Best

Evil Thing

Mistress of All Evil

Fairest of All

Poor Unfortunate Soul

 

 

Blood & Roses by Callie Hart 

I did buy this one after our March book club meet up...

 

 

That's all this time! Hopefully it will be less this coming up season because I'm out of room for the books I already have...

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful week!

 

Autumn Book Haul - 2025

 Hello, everyone! How was your weekend? Can you believe it's the end of the year already?!

Here are the books I received as gifts (aside from the first one). I'm still on a book buying ban, so this haul will be much smaller than usual.

Beautiful Boards by Morgan Brown

I've had this on my Amazon wishlist for a long time and it finally went on sale for pretty cheap.

Grim & Oro by Alex Aster

 

This, and the rest of these books, I received as part of my anniversary gift from my husband. 

One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig

 

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Other Stories by Lewis Carroll

 

4 Novels by Jules Verne

 

The Ultimate Instant Pot Cookbook by Simon Rush

 

Roses Are Read Book Marks

 

How cute are these?! The gift shop at my work place had these for sale and I just had to have them! 

 

 

That's all this season. What books are you excited to read?

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a wonderful week!

 

Summer Book Haul - 2025

 Hello, everyone! How was your weekend?

I've recently put myself on a book buying ban until I read more of my physical books. I can quickly get through kindle and audio books, but I've been neglecting my physical copies. So my book hauls may be small for a while (I'm still accepting gifts of books lol). I started my buying ban after I bought a bunch of books though, so here are the books I've picked up over the last few months. Haha!

God of Fury by Rina Kent

 God of War by Rina Kent

 

The Assassin's Blade by Sarah J. Maas

 

My Funny Demon Valentine by Aurora Ascher

 

The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo

 

The Ragpicker King by Cassandra Clare

 

Heaven Breaker by Sara Wolf

 

Five Broken Blades by Mai Corland

 

Dracula by Bram Stoker

 

I know I have two other editions of this book, but this edition is soooo nice! The cover is soft and flexible like a paperback, but a bit thicker like a hardback. Plus, it's beautiful!

 

 

That's all the books I've purchased/received this time! Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you have an amazing week!
