January 2022 Book Haul & Wrap Up

It's the end of a month which means a quick recap on my reading goal and book haul. I can’t believe January is almost over. Is it just me or did it seem to go by really fast for everyone else too? This month was a super small book haul month for me, I guess I was just preoccupied with everything else going on.

Who else is excited to put this month behind them?! January has been a rough month in our house. Lot’s of tears and stress but I am hopeful February will bring calmer times and less stress. It’s crazy how this month seemed to fly by but also at the same time, felt like forever. Thankfully I had a good reading month though!

December Book Haul & Wrap Up

It's the end of a month which means a quick recap on my reading goal and book haul. There were so many books I wanted to buy this month but I held off on the hopes of getting a bunch for Christmas. I actually didn’t end up getting as many as I thought I would but I am so thankful for the ones I did get because they were the ones I wanted the most but also didn’t want to spend my own money on because they tend to be a bit pricer since they are large hardcovers.

August Book Haul & Wrap Up

It's the end of a month which means a quick recap on my reading goal and book haul. I was able to add four books to my collection this month. I found two books at Books-A-Million earlier this month that I just had to have. Both have been on my TBR list for a while now so I snagged them before it was too late. Then for my Book of the Month Club pick I had a hard time trying to pick which book I wanted so I just got both. 

Not A Happy Family by Shari Lapena

When the Stars Go Dark by Paula McLain

Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo

Renegades by Marissa Meyer

It was a slow reading month for me. I always say, if you’re only going to read one book- make it a good one! Forbidden was such a fun romantic read. Even though it’s fourth in the series, I started with it after seeing an ad for it on Facebook. I loved all of the characters and definitely recommend it.

April Book Haul & Wrap Up

It's the end of a month which means a quick recap on my reading goal and book haul. April was a decent book haul month for me. I didn't get too many books, only five but that's better than none!

Anchored Hearts by Priscilla Oliveras

January Book Haul & Wrap Up
