Book Haul || A little bit of everything

So, this new year I've stopped doing monthly book hauls. Basically I didn't feel like showing all the books I got every month, and just made it a small little feature in my monthly wrap-up posts instead. However, in the last month or so, I've gotten some really interesting books, that I really want to share with you guys, and I thought they deserved their own post. Some books I've already talked about in monthly wrap-ups, but some are completely new on my shelf. This is excluding the library books I've gotten, because most are already back at the library.


First, I've gotten a lot of physical copies of books lately. I don't usually spend money on physical copies, simply because most times I just can't afford it, honestly I'd rather just read on my eReader. However, this last month or so I've had an urge to treat myself a little bit, and splurge out on a few books. All the books in the first picture have lgbtq+ characters in them. Also, they are just so damn pretty to look at, and they do wonders for my book shelf. Really, they make the shelf look so much prettier than it did before.

Not Otherwise Specified by Hannah Moskowitz
I've been waiting for this book to come out, and now that I have it, I can't wait to finally read it! It sounds like such an interesting book, plus it's got a bisexual main character, which just makes me even more excited. I've head amazing things about it, so I have high hopes.

Far From You by Tess Sharpe
Another book that I've been staring at for a long time. I've heard a few things about this, and all of them have been good. It sounds really interesting, and I'm very excited to see how I'm going to like it.

Lies We Tell Ourselves by Robin Talley
This is yet another book I've been wanting to read ever since it came out. I've heard nothing but amazing things about the book, and I want to read it very soon.

Everything Leads To You by Nina LaCour
This has been on my radar since it came out, but for some reason I have just never gotten around to actually getting a copy of it. However, now that I have one in my possession, it's just about finding this time to actually read it.

Playlist For the Dead by Michelle Falkoff
A 2015 release that I've heard mixed things about. I love books that have some kind of music element to it, which is a big part of why I picked this one up. And because I thought it sounded interesting, of course!

We Were Liars by E. Lockhart
I've heard so many things about this book, and it was all over booktube and blog-land back in summer. I've heard some mixed things about this one, but I'm very curious about it anyway. So, we'll see when I'll get around to read it.

Dit Liv I Lister
I am so freaking excited for this thing. It's basically a book for you to write lists in. I love writing lists, and I've been looking at this one since it came out. However, I've always thought it was way too expensive, but it was finally on sale, so I got it 85% off.

Then I got a couple of eBooks. Two of those are reads that has been on my radar for a long time, and I finally decided that I needed them in my collection. I got them all pretty cheap, so I really can't complain about that.

My Heart & Other Black Holes by Jasmine Warga
This is a February release, and one I've been looking forward to. It is definitely high on my to be read list, and I hope to get around to reading it very soon.

Only Ever Yours by Louise O'Neill
I have been looking at this one for some time, and I thought the concept of the book sounded interesting. I've seen Cynthia @ Afterwritten raving about it, and that's just made me want to read this book even more.

The Miseducation of Cameron Post by Emily M. Danforth
It is about time I got this book, now I just need to read it. I think it is one of the books I've been recommended the most in the past years, so it's strange that I only just picked it up now. However, It's in my possession now, and I really just need to start reading it.

Those were the book that I wanted to share with you. Have you read any of these books, or are they on your to-buy list? Have you gotten any interesting books lately?

Were back to that time again - Book Haul Time! I'm aware that December has ended, but I wanted to wait hauling my books until the month was well over - So here we are. I got a lot of books in the month of December, but "only" bought 11 of them. All of the 11 were ebooks, and most, if not all, were under $5, so it's not all too bad. I also got a lot of books from the library, and then I got some for Christmas. I've started reading a lot of New Adult lately, so the haul kind of reflects that a bit. But without further ado, I'll show you the books I got my hands on in December.

Book Haul || November 2014

So, it's that time again. Book haul time. I know that November isn't exactly over yet, but I know that I will not be buying any more books this month. The reason for that is, that I'm basically out of money. I have a little left for the rest of the month, and that's going towards a movie ticket so I can go see Mockingjay next week.

So, this month I held back on the book buying a little bit. I only bought six books, which is a lot better than the last two months. In this haul I've got a mixture of eBooks, physical books, and books I got from the library. All in all I have ten books to show you guys, so here we go.

Bought, physical books:

I haven't bought any physical book since I got my Kobo, so I thought it was time to do just that. I've been lusting after My True Love Gave to Me ever since it came out, so why not get it? And the second book is Gracefully Grayson by Amy Polonsky. This book sounds so interesting, and I can't wait to read it.

Library Picks:

Next up I got two books from the library this month (not including a ton of books for school). I've already read Y: The Last Man, and I'm very much looking forward to reading the The Titan's Curse. I set The Titan's Curse on hold sometime last month, but it didn't arrive at my local library until about three days ago.

Bought, eBooks:

I got four eBooks this month, and I've actually already read three of them. I've been trying to cut down on my eBook buying, and I think it's been working. Compared to last month where I probably bought around ten, this is pretty mild. 

Freebies, eBooks:

Last, but definitely, not least, I have two freebies. I have a tendency to just browse the section on Kobo with all of the free ebooks, and sometimes I come back from that browse with a ton of new ebooks. However, this month I only found free eBooks that I thought I'd get. Well, not really. I actually got a shit-ton of free classics this month as well, but I don't really feel like showing all of them

So that was my November book haul. Did you get any cool books this month?

Book Haul || September & October 2014

So, I might have a problem. That problem's name is Henry aka my eReader. Since getting that thing, I've been buying books left and right. I mean, I'm not really complaining, because, it's books, but I'm not sure my bank account is all too happy with me. Nevertheless, I've decided to share my latest purchases from September and October with you. There is a mixture of genres in this haul. In September and October I've accumulated 20 books, and all of them have been eBooks. This month I also got some books from the library, but they've all been returned, so I can't show those to you. It's also not including the free eBooks I've gotten either, because then we would never be done with this haul. However, if seeing those is something you would be interesting in, I'll do a post on those later.





A lot of these were bought on a sale, so in the end, I didn't actually end up paying all that much. I'm really looking forward to reading all of these, and I've already read six of these, and I'm currently reading two [The Name of the Star, and When Adam Kissed Me].

Have you guys read any of these books?
