Autumn Book Haul - 2021

 Hello, everyone! How was your holiday weekend?

These are the books I've purchased/have been given this season. I'm trying to convince my husband that we need to move into a bigger house. My book collection is getting close to needing a whole room to themselves!

The Sanatorium by Sarah Pearse

This was pretty good. Lots of twists just when you think you've realized who the killer is.


Go The Distance by Jen Calonita
 
I've read one "Twisted Disney Tale" already, and this is my second purchase. I really enjoy Disney re-tellings.

The Southern Book Club's Guide To Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix

I've read amazing reviews about this book, so I finally picked it up. I've only read one other Grady Hendrix book, but I enjoyed it, so hopefully this will be enjoyable too.

 
King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo
 
I really like the Grisha verse, so I'm sure I'll enjoy this book too.
 

Classic Works From Women Writers
 
This is another leather bound classics book. I think they're absolutely beautiful. I have every intention of collecting all of them.
 

The Montessori Toddler by Simone Davies

I heard good things about this book, so I wanted to check it out for myself.
 
 
That's all for this season! Thanks for stopping by, and have a fun and safe New Year's!

Collective Book Haul

 Hello, everyone!  How was your weekend?

I'm so excited for this post because it has to do with one of my all time favorite things.  Aside from makeup and beauty, one of my other favorite hobbies is reading.  I love to read!  There is just nothing better than finding a cozy place to sit and relax with a drink (preferably an iced chai!) and a good book.  I enjoy holding a physical book, but I don't mind using an e-reader or listening to an audible book.  This post is just going to cover the new physical books that I've obtained over the last few months though.  I can't wait to read them all when I get the chance!

Harry Potter Illustrated Collection

These were a birthday present.  I've already read this entire series, but I can't wait to see all of the illustrations in these books!

 

DC Icons Series

My husband bought these for me for our anniversary.  I just noticed while taking these photos that Leigh Bardugo (the author of the Grisha series) is the author of Wonder Woman, so now I'm even more excited to read these books!  I find it intriguing that each book is written by a different author.  It will be interesting to see the different writing styles between each of these books.

Crooked Kingdom

This book was part of my Mother's Day gift.  I'm currently reading this book, and my only complaint with this one is that the little "Netflix" sticker on the bottom left corner isn't actually a sticker, it's part of the jacket.  I really wish it was a sticker so I could remove it.

Canterbury Classics Leatherbound

The H.P. Lovecraft and Jane Austen books were gifts from my husband.  Grimm's Complete Fairy Tales was my first leather bound book and the beautiful covers ignited my new obsession.  I have so many of these leather bound books on my Amazon wish list now and I fully intend to purchase every single one.



 

Barnes & Noble Leatherbound

This was another birthday present.  I just love the details on the front, side, and back of this book.  Honestly, photos do not do these books justice.  They are so much more special in person.

Those are all of my new books!  What book(s) have you been wanting to read?  I have a lot of books on my TBR list.  Obviously all of these books are included.

Thank you for stopping by!  Have a great week!
