So this doesn’t count as a haul because I didn’t pay for any of these… (And no, I didn’t steal them either!)
I found all these lovely books I’d never read in my garage…
And these I got for my birthday yesterday!
(When I told my family I only wanted books they went a little crazy)
And how pretty are these in particular!!
Okay- this is totally a haul post- but at least I didn’t break my book buying ban- right? Right?!?
What a fabulous haul! Colour me jealous 😉 happy reading!

And OH MY LORD you have some fantastic books there! How on earth are you going to decide what to read first?!

Aww thank you!! Yes they are!! I’m so so so excited! And I may have already read Incarnate today 😉 and I don’t think I can put off Empire of Storms for long! Or Blue Lily Lily Blue… On second thoughts- how am I going to decide?!? 😉

I would have to create some sort of random selector… just too many good ones here. Although, I might put some space between Song of Achilles and A Monster Calls because they’re both slightly devastating (although absolutely brilliant, they’re not exactly cheery) 🙂

haha I know right!! Well I’ve already decided Monster Calls has to wait for Halloween- I don’t care if it’s emotional instead of scary- I just really want to read it then! (cos it’s got monster in the title and I hate scary books and cos *reasons*!) and I will bear that in mind for song of Achilles- sometimes I just need a good cry! 😉

Thank you!! It’s the Silmarillion- I started reading it more than a decade ago and according to the bookmark got to page 180…. before giving up- I want to give it another go now though! I think I was a bit young for it!

Happy Belated Birthday! 🙂 Awesome haul you got there. I have a few of them I need to read in the next few months. I think I like the UK cover of This Savage Song more than US. That’s just a random thought that popped into my head when I saw you also have a copy. 🙂 I still haven’t read it, but what a pretty cover! I’m reading ToG now, unsuccessfully but I’m working on it. I’m seeing loads of reviews for the new book. I think I saw that in your pics. Enjoy!
