High Time for a Haul!

I haven’t done a haul post in *ageeees* so I figured why not share all the books I’ve acquired in the last few months?! I’ve been pretty good about buying books in the last few months, so it’s not a huge haul, but it’s still a good one:

Of the ones I bought for myself, I am super excited to try out some Patricia McKillip, after seeing Bookstooge and loads of other people talking about how great her books are. I chose a couple that seem the most wintry- should be good for some cosy reading as the nights get colder! Obviously, I also wanted to finish off the Raven’s Mark trilogy- you all know how much I enjoyed Blackwing and Ravencry– and this seems like the perfect time of year to do that. I also *leapt out my skin* when I saw Malorie Blackman was releasing a new book in her Noughts and Crosses series- which I have loved ever since I was a child! On that note…

I was really lucky to get the next instalment in the Book of Dust for my birthday this year! Plus, I got a couple of books which will be good seasonal reading: Vanishing Stair and Empty Spaces. I absolutely loved the first book in the Truly Devious series, so I’m excited to get to that before the last one comes out this year. And y’all know I can’t keep my mitts off anything Katherine Arden writes!

Also, unbelievably, this is my entire current physical tbr- because I finished all the ones in these old pictures!

(well, excepting Book Thief, which I’m not counting cos it’s a reread anyway).

So, have you read any of these? Are you a fan? Let me know in the comments which ones you think I should pick up first! (bearing in mind I’m a mood reader and it might not be in my power whether or not I take your wonderful advice- we shall ultimately have to defer to the mighty book gods 😉
