Christmas #bookhaul 🎄❄️ My sisters and I decided to get each other book boxes this year. We didn‘t fully know what the other likes to read so we spent a lot of time on each other‘s goodreads and guessing 😂
a combination of sales, gift cards, and gifts means I‘ve accumulated 8 books! I‘m excited to try a bunch of books I know very little about or hadn‘t heard before. Getting out of my comfort zone and going into a book blind is refreshing 😊
Today‘s BN #bookhaul to spend my Christmas gift card. I asked for the tagged, but didn‘t really expect to get it. The Hekate has the gorgeous sprayed edges, and I can‘t wait for the next book (both to read it and to see what it looks like). The Time Machine is for homeschool literature on a few months - I thought I had it, but can‘t find it anywhere. Kiddo didn‘t spend all her gift cards in one go, but very carefully considered her purchases. 👇🏻
Christmas #bookhaul, part three (the final part!): SFF & classic fiction
I have Goudge‘s Pilgrim‘s Inn on my shelf & have been waiting to read it since I discovered it‘s book 2 in a series—now I own book 1!
I got Brigands & Breadknives almost immediately after my library added it to Libby, only to find that I most certainly should have read Bookshops & Bonedust first. I own Bonedust, and now I can come back to Brigands at my leisure ⤵️
Christmas #bookhaul, part two: children‘s and YA
I‘ve been wanting to re-read Wind in the Willows, so my husband got me a nice illustrated B&N edition, plus Alice (there was a sale 😁)
My book group read Raybearer this year, so I needed Redemptor—the sequel!
The Last Unicorn has been on my list foreeeeever
I‘ve recommended Kiki‘s Delivery Service so many times while playing Little Bookshop, I decided I needed to read it 😂
Christmas #bookhaul, part one: nonfiction
I‘m super excited about A History of Reading, after reading Manguel‘s The Library at Night this year.
Touch the Earth and Rage Prayers are books I discovered through my spiritual director. I‘m looking forward to dipping into those both for myself and to share with others
Praying with Jane Eyre is right up my alley with personal and spiritual reflection on literature
And, the LMM complete journals vol. 7!
My Christmas #bookhaul
I got Ice Planet Barbarians in my extended family‘s White Elephant gift swap, much to the horror of my son‘s partner who clearly doesn‘t know me well enough yet 🤣🤣🤣
