A LONG OVERDUE BOOK HAUL // part 2 (march to october): ft. books i’ve bought, gifts & bargain books warehouse sale
Yeah so I decided this split this ridiculously long book haul into two parts because it was turning out to be a total disaster. If you missed part one you can click RIGHT HERE to read that first. That one was all about the books I received from publishers. In previous hauls, the books were just all over the place but this time I’ve divided this into sections to make it a bit easier a) for me to put together and b) so it’s not a hot mess ha. I’m trying people. Anyways, without further ado, let us just get into the books! If you have never heard of this and are new to my blog, then let me explain. I live in South Africa and Bargain Books (a local book store) hosts this massive sale in Cape Town and it’s like the best. I get invited to the early access sale every once and a while to take a peek at what’s available. And since February there have been three that I’ve been to. Head over to my Instagram for all the photos because there are a lot! ♥ March Movie Geek: A Geek’s Guide to the Movieverse by…

A LONG OVERDUE BOOK HAUL // part 1 (march to october) ft. book mail from publishers
I have had this post sitting in drafts for aeons at this point. I think my last book haul was back in like February?? It is now December so you get my situation. Welp, I guess better late than never. Anyways, I think I’m going to start incorporating hauls into my recaps, it all depends. This may be my last haul but eh I change my mind all the time. It got a bit late and I didn’t manage to post this on time so I actually mentioned all the books I got in November in the recap already hehe. Also, I’m super lazy BUT I will sprinkle in some photos of these books that I posted on Instagram, which if you don’t follow me there, you should. I also do haul ALL books over on my stories so feel free to stalk me. In totally un-creepy way obviously *wink wink* Without further ado, let us just get into this. Skyward: The Story of Female Pilots in WWII by Sally Deng: This is actually a sort of children’s book that they gifted me when I was inquiring about the book below this one, and I was just like, you know, …

THE FIRST BOOK HAUL OF THE YEAR (AND IN A WHILE) // aka this is way too many books and i'm suffocating
Oh jeez, it’s been a hot second since my last haul. Like literally September of last year. And not only did I just get regular books throughout the months, but I was also invited to a book sale and picked out a whole ton of books for super cheap. So um, this haul is going to be freakishly long and consist of a LOT of books… Go grab some popcorn because we’re going to be here a while folks. The Darkest Legacy by Alexandra Bracken: I shame myself for still not having read this book yet and it came out like 6 months ago. But thanks to Pan MacMillan for sending a copy my way, I plan on getting to this very soon hides in the corner The Trouble Series book 2, 3 & 4 by Rachel Morgan: She kindly sent the rest of the books of in the series my way.

I HAVE ACQUIRED MORE BOOKS THAN I THOUGHT // a haul
Eyy so it’s been a hot second since my last haul and I’ve counted and I got like 25 books in under 2 months?? And I haven’t been reading much… howwww??? Yeah you know don’t even ask!! Should we just get into the haul, I think that’s a good idea. Crowns of Croswald by D. E. Night: the lovely author reached out to me and asked if I’d like to read her book and I of course said yes. The cover is stunning and it sounds like a really fun middle grade The Perks of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky: I was in the bookstore and saw this one and thought I should give it another chance. I didn’t really enjoy it when I watched the movie but I think I’ll love it now that I’m older. Leah On The Offbeat by Becky Albertalli: My faves at Penguin Random House SA sent this one my way and I’m super excited because I love Becky and hyped to dive in and see Simon and the gang again! Words In Deep Blue by Cath Crowley: A million thanks to Pan Macmillan for sending this one my way. It sounds so cool and…

THE "I NEED TO READ ALL OF THESE" BOOK HAUL
I always seem to keep my hauls so far apart but it’s probably because I have no money so never really buy books unless I’m in book stories and I always need that free shipping so don’t online shop. *cue nervous laughter* Anyways here I am so I hope you enjoy! Daughter of the Burning City by Amanda Foody. I bought this because Ilsa keeps screaming at everyone to read it plus I’m into freak shows now after I watched a movie with one in it so Everless by Sara Holland (sent to me by Pan Macmillan) which I have already read. I was in a little bit of a slump when I read this and it’s not the most amazing book but it was reallu entertaining and it got me right of the slump. Ash Princess by Laura Sebastian (also sent by Pan Macmillan) which I’d never heard about and when I heard the synopsis it sounded pretty awesome People Like Us by Dana Mele which I got from Diverse Book Bridge and actually from the author?! WHAT?! I didn’t know this but the ARC is signed to me and I’m still lowkey freaking out. Harry Potter: A Journey…
