Today‘s B&N haul, yep, bags too which are gorgeous! What I‘m most excited about is this absolute gem I got, The Books of Earthsea!!! I‘ve been trying to buy this book for the LONGEST time, like over a year!! I started reading the copy I borrowed from the library but when I turned it back in, I vowed the next time I picked it back up, it would my own copy. I‘m excited for the others too, don‘t get me wrong, lol! 🙌🏽🙌🏽😍❤️❤️

This beauty came today! I won the Goodreads giveaway for this and I‘m stoked! 🙌🏽🙌🏽 I was hoping I would get this one! Any thoughts from those that have read it?!

My ARC finally came!!! I‘m so excited about this and I just finished “Emma” so this is perfect timing (I say that like I‘m not in the middle of a ton of books 😬🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ LOL). Anyway, adventure and history await!

These beauties came Tuesday, I just forgot to post them! I‘m so excited about these and definitely plan on ordering more! Leanne is so sweet and I will absolutely be ordering from her again!

Today‘s spontaneous book haul!! FINALLY was able to get some books I‘ve been eyeing and wanting for a while now! I can‘t wait to start Grant!! If anyone has read it or anything in the pic, please let me know your thoughts! 🤗. Oh, and off to the side there, those spirals belong to a lovely Kate Spade planner I got for a steal (original price was $30, I got it for $2!)

So this is today‘s (and long overdue) book haul!! This particular book (second from the top) I am so excited about! I had seen it a while back and told myself the next time I go back I would get it and I did! Most of the others are for school (research proposal project...yippee 🙄).

Almost done with this one!! It took me longer than I wanted but I needed breaks from Rebecca...she grates my nerves, lol.

Another Amazon book delivery today! Super excited about these and this H.G. Wells is so beautiful 😍 and yes, they smell amazing! ☺️ #bookhaul #soexcited #TBR

These lovelies arrived today! Really excited about them!

Today‘s book haul from HPB! I‘ve been wanting those Rutherfurd books for a while! And I‘m really excited about The Complete Four Just Men as well as the Dickens!

As soon as I saw this gem, there was no hesitation! I have been trying to get a volume set for ages!!! THIS is indeed a first edition and the books have only been opened once (based on condition of pages and cover, aside from the writing on spine), and the third one feels and looks as if it was never read (aside from the writing on the spine)! The spines show some fading at the top but my guess is it‘s because of where it was sitting/stored.

Hey all! It‘s been a while! I wanted to share how excited I am that I found this gem!! Not sure if it‘s a first edition but I‘m excited none the less!

Found this gem at the library and so far, I‘m in love!! Definitely going to be purchasing this and the others in the series. Have any of you read this and/or the others?

Bought this last year when it came out and just picked it up the other day to read (I had to read the rest first) and I‘m almost halfway through! I can‘t get enough of this series and I can never put them down!

On to the next!!

I am loving these books!! I can‘t believe it took me this long to finally get to them. I finally broke down and got an audio book from the library the other day (the first book in the series) while I‘ve been laid up in bed, not in much of a condition to read a physical book. They‘re not too bad.

I keep seeing customers purchase this book so I figured I would! I can‘t wait to read it!

Super excited about these!!

So that was a quick read!! I absolutely loved being back in the world of Harry Potter!!! Furthermore, I loved seeing what time had done for them! My only gripe is that it ended too soon!

Finally bought this gem! I can‘t believe it took me so long to get it! Yet another added to the ever-growing currently reading list!

Picked this up from the ARC shelf for employees at my job (Barnes & Noble)!! This, I must admit, is my first J.R. Ward book. I know of the author, just haven‘t actually read any of her books until now! Really exited about reading and reviewing this! It‘s been a while since I‘ve done one!

Finally started this!!! I was sick of waiting! Lol. Needless to say I‘m completely hooked!!

Got this beauty not too long ago at Half Priced Books! It‘s a fabric binding the has silver flecks woven into it! I love it and can‘t wait to dive in!

Had to replace my missing copy and found a new one at the library for $1!! And then I paid $6 for a pint of ice cream that I don‘t need 😒.... But I‘m feeling some type of way right now so I‘m self-medicating with these two and some music.

Took a trip to Half Priced Books and found this gem; A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Ulysses, Dubliners, Finnegans Wake. I have been wanting to get Finnegans Wake and his other novels for a while now but always ended up putting whatever one I picked up back and getting something else. I had no clue there was an omnibus if his work!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽. I am really excited to have this in my library!

I absolutely love the Amelia Peabody books!! Elizabeth Peters‘ (Barbara Mertz) is a fabulous writer! I need to get the next few as I am almost done with this one!

A little late posting this but my last two B&N hauls, one was for my birthday! I am thrilled about these lovelies and I am hooked on these i-Clips! I just need to get the second volume of Plutarch‘s Lives. All the books in the bottom left photo we‘re all less than $3 (thank you clearance and B&N membership)!!

I love these illustrated little pocket editions!!! And they‘re even more beautiful without their sleeves! Liking this book so far!

FINALLY reading this!! Not sure why it took me so long to get it. I love the movies!

The correct book didn‘t show up when I inserted the IBSN but oh well. Picked this beauty back up again. I‘ve been in a reading funk for a while now so I figured I would start back up with this!

Finally reading this book, after having seen the movie so many times! I am getting the feeling already that this may scare me more than the movie. What are your thoughts?

Ted Dekker has done it again with his continuation of Maviah‘s journey. This book was fantastic and I couldn‘t put it down, as per usual with his books, for me at least.

Finally cracking this beauty open! Excited to see what this book holds! This is my first time reading Lovecraft (I know, shame on me) but I am now!

Absolutely adored “The Little Paris Bookshop” by Nina George and I was thrilled when o heard about this one! I‘m loving it so far! I really like her work!

It‘s finally here!! I‘m so excited about this!!! Adding to my Ted Dekker collection! He is my favorite author, hands down! #stoked #itsfinallyhere #startingitnow #bookmail

So excited to finally get my hands on her newest book! I love Margaret George‘s works! I have three more of her books in line to be read as well.

Reading in the cabana, poolside! Almost done with David Copperfield. Then I'll have just two more books until I'm done with this behemoth of a book!! #readingatthepool #bibliophile #readingisvital #

Got these today!! It's been a while since I've been able to go to Barnes & Noble!! I've been wanting Bulfinch's Mythology for a while now! B&N has their classic for $5 (less with a membership)!

Ugh. So I just moved into an apartment (temporarily) and found that water had came in from outside when we got a ton of rain the last two days. This one got the worst of it, and my box spring for my bed. I used my blow dryer to dry it out quickly because I didn't know how long it had been wet and I didn't want mold and mildew to set in. I think I made it worse 😪😪😪😪.

Book Mail!!! Super excited about these! Building up my classics collection and my collector's edition collection as well. The problem with this is now I want to start reading one of these, like I'm not already in the middle of 14 books!! 😒😩. I may just go ahead and make it 15!

Yep, books fill my bedside table...and the space underneath. 📕📗📘📙📚📖. What's on yours?

Finished! This book was amazing! I am now ready to see the new version of the movie!

Picked this back up after having stopped reading it for a while. I am not very far in this book but it is getting interesting now! *Don't mind my schoolwork in the background, lol.

I can't put this book down. Of course I never can put Ted Dekker's books down. I'm supposed to be doing school work...but this book has my full attention.

Started this 9 days ago and I'm over halfway finished. My intention was to start reading it but not totally abandon the other books I am reading but clearly Mr. King had other plans! I just watched the original movie and I plan on being done with this before the new one comes out! Sadly, I cannot say that I have read it before. I am late to the party!

I meant to post this the Saturday before last, when I got them but obviously that did not happen. My latest haul from B&N and it was a big one! Among all these beauties, I finally got the journal I have been eyeing for a very long time as well as an ink and quill set! I had heard of The Executioner's Song but never read it. Those little clips in the side are genius bookmarks that I am just now finding out about and I'm hooked!

Book Mail!! Leave it to me to unknowingly order doubles of two of the four books I chose! Really excited about the Wicked and Son of a Witch beauty of a combo book! I already have the Anne Rice one but it was on sale for a killer price so I ordered a second to gift to my sister! Also added Edith Wharton to my library! *sorry about my dog photo bombing the first pic* lol

Almost finished with this piece of greatness. Down to the last 70 pages. The third is patiently waiting for me with some other books I'm in the middle of.

Ted Dekker is brilliant!! My favorite author hands down. This beauty is probably one of my favorites of his, though it's very hard to pick favorites among his works! This is my second time reading it but feels like the first! I highly recommend his books!! *don't mind my Spanish homework* 😊

I am sure that I would never have been able to fit in among the female circles in the time novels such as Middlemarch take place. I have not the patience for such insufferable characters as Rosamond Lydgate (neé Vincy) nor the gossip entertained by those nosey older women.
