Recent Book Haul-11/25/2023

 Hello, my fellow readers, it doesn't feel real that November is almost over and we're getting closer to the new year. Well I, like so many people I'm sure, have been taking full advantage of all the current major sales that have been going on online or in person. However, I would not say I've been going overboard. I've made some sensible purchases by putting in a lot of pre-orders that still applied to certain sales and taking advantage of sales and/or offers from different stores that I couldn't get through those sales, but that I could still get some kind of savings from others. Now, I will admit there have been the see, grab it, buy it kind of buys, but they were books I know I'm in the mood to read, and/or they are books I've really enjoyed and know I'm gonna reread again at some point. 

So I'm going to go in order of most recent purchases. 

 First up, I have A Witch's Guide To Fake Dating A Demon from Books A Million.













And then, through what sorcery I don't know, but the clerk at the store surprised me by handing me the sequel which I also got. I've heard various to not that much about this series, but it honestly just looks delightful, cozy, and magical which is exactly what I'm looking for right now. 


My other purchases were from Barnes & Noble such as:













I got Witcha Gonna Do?.

I also got The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches and I've also pre-ordered the sequel, A Witch's Guide to Magical Innkeeping releasing in April of next year. 












I'm very happy with my purchase and more. As I mentioned I got the very specific titles I've had my eye on for a while as well as made smart pre-orders for later dates, but still making smart decisions regarding current sales and/or offers going on. 

The last of the recent physical book purchases I've made recently were books I've already read that I wanted a copy of or in the case of Frankenstein, another copy of this book, that I got from PangoBooks sellers. 


What Lies In The Woods by Kate Alice Marshall



Breathless by Amy McCulloch













This OwlCrate edition of Frankenstein. 













So that is my recent book haul. What are some books you're excited about that you recently hauled have you read any of these books?

December 2023 TBR

Image
Hello, my fellow readers, somehow it's December. It's always interesting when coming up with monthly or seasonal TBRs because if I haven't said the words, I'm very much a mood reader, and different months or seasons throughout the year evoke different moods for reading. Fall is always in this interesting in-between where I want to read and/or continue the major book releases in summer while shifting into more paranormal, fantasy, or mystery/thriller reads that give you that spine-tingling feeling of the fall season. Winter, for me, is still in that realm because I do still to a degree have an interest in reading all of those genres and more, but I think I am definitely, as evidenced by my current TBR, looking to have most of my books be in a more cozy mood.   So to start, and I should add there may be repeats for some lists such as my TBR games because the TBR deities were somewhat kind to me this month with the prompts I got.  So first for my monthly book challenge ...

Tales of a Returning Historical Romance Reader

 Hello, my fellow readers, you know that feeling when you discover a new favorite book, author, or genre? I think the only better or could come as close as that is when you rediscover your love for one or all of those things. Recently, I have been rediscovering how much I love historical romance. Thanks to the power of read-a-thons and my monthly TBR games I have had the opportunity to reread some of the series that made me fall in love with historical romance in the first place, but I've also had the opportunity to discover some newly found favorites.  The series that I had an opportunity to reread was Sarah MacLean's Bareknuckle Bastards series.       If these gorgeous covers by themselves weren't enough to make anyone want to read these books, these books feature some of the most well-written, well-rounded female characters I've read in historical romance to date. Not only that, but they also have the most cinnamon rolls of all cinnamon rolls when i...
