Book Haul #110, Or The One Where I Didn't Buy Any Books...


Stacking the Shelves is a weekly event hosted on Tynga's Reviews where we can share what new books we've picked up this past week be they bought, borrowed or downloaded. There are also lots of other 'book haul' memes out there for you to choose from!

Yes, you read that blog post title correctly! I didn't buy a single book this week, at least up until Thursday when I wrote this post. I may not have bought any books but I still spent a small fortune. I bought my tickets for ComicCon in London in July and booked my hotel room - six minute walk from the convention center, so probably just as well. I did get a couple of review titles this week though that I've been really looking forward to so that more than made up for it.

Last but not least, it's #Read-a-thon Day on Saturday! I think I'll mostly be updating on Twitter but I will have an ongoing blog post with book updates so if you feel like cheering me on that would be amazing!

Book Haul #77

I was doing really well this week, up until Friday the only book I'd bought was actually a pre-order that I'd been waiting for a long time to arrive - a signed, limited edition of Jack in the Green by Charles de Lint! Then I went to an event/signing, came home with two more books and found another three books waiting for me... I got a couple of great books on Kindle and I got approved for some great books on Netgalley which I'd seen recommended by a couple of my favorite bloggers. All in all, an amazing bookish week!

Bought

Interesting Times | Moving Pictures | Jack in the Green

The Color Master | My Real Children | The Severed Streets
Kindle

Defenders | In Dark Service
Publisher

The Buried Life

And another restrained week on the buying front! Could it be my book ban has decided to start enforcing itself ? Just one book bought and one Kindle book, unbelievable! I finally got my copy of Unwrapped Sky, with the UK cover but I'm still wondering whether I should have bought the US edition. Review books on the other hand... I was really, really lucky this week so huge thanks to Titan, Tor and Angry Robot/Strange Chemistry for so many amazing titles! I can't wait to read all of them but super excited about The Blasted Lands, Hot Lead, Cold Iron and The Dark Blood of Poppies :)
