This is my October #BookHaul. Finally! #bookblog #bookbogger

I buy a lot of books and while I don’t buy books solely based on their covers. I do like a pretty cover. So I like to look at both UK and US versions of covers and am happy to spend a little more if it means I’m getting the cover I like. This isn’t…

Opps I did it again. Here's another haul. My bad. #bookhaul #bookblog

In September I spent $126.39. My TBR increased to 359. This is getting ridiculous. But I found a group on Facebook that sell second hand books. And there were deals that were too hard to resist. So here we are. But like I said in my September wrap up I’m going to try focus on short books.

I also included some items I bought off Etsy. I fell in love with this art and I wanted to share it.
