Book Haul #30

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly event hosted on Tynga's Reviews, In My Mailbox is a weekly event hosted by The Mod Podge Bookshelf and Letterbox Love is a UK edition hosted by Narratively Speaking. Here we can share what new books we've picked up this past week. There are also lots of other 'book haul' memes out there for you to choose from!

I got an awful lot of books this week... The only reason I don't feel guilty? Nearly all the books I received this week were from my monthly library drop or free! I managed to be fairly good and bought just four five six books. Daughter of Smoke & Bone was a complete impulse buy, especially as I already have the hardcover but Tesco (a UK supermarket chain) have released this and Days of Blood & Starlight in softcover with such pretty covers I couldn't resist! I really need to rein myself in though so from July 1st I'm starting a 'Read 50 of your own books before you buy any more' project, I will probably fail spectacularly but wish me luck!

I think it's safe to say there is absolutely no point in my book buying ban as I'm pretty sure I've not managed one week without accidentally buying a book... Without further ado here's this week's 'Ooops, I bought another book' purchases!

Bought

The Indigo Spell - Richelle Mead

The Shape Stealer - Lee Carroll

Poison - Bridget Zinn

Kindle books

A Game Of Thrones - George R R Martin

I already own Game Of Thrones in both hardback and paperback but they're both too big to take on the train and as I've joined a read-along of the whole series I decided to get at least book #1 on my Kindle! Any excuse, I know!

This is turning into a bit of a fortnightly post for me which, considering the insane amount of Kindle freebies I appear to have downloaded accidentally, is probably not the wisest idea!

So, there were no new books for me last week - not really anything bookish as I was too busy running around with a bunch of 2 & 3 year olds and getting to hold an adorable 3 week old baby Edward :) This week however, well...

IMM is hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren and gives everyone an opportunity to showcase new books received during the week, whether they're bought, borrowed or the dreaded download!

So, it's been a while since I've done one of these, September last year in fact and I think since then I've probably bought over 50 books! I know, I know! I have a habit and I need to break it :) Anyway, I took a picture of what I thought was most of what I've bought recently but turns out it's not even close so next week will be another catch-up/birthday special.
