November Book Haul

I just love sharing all the new books or bookish related items such as swag etc that I get throughout the year. So I Decided that at the start of each month I will post what I bought throughout the previous month or received from either publishers, Netgallery, from people or won in giveaways etc. For example at the start of September, I make a post about what books or bookish Swag I bought or received throughout the mouth of August. I would also like to hear what books you also brought throughout the month as well, maybe we brought something the same.

I bought and received fair few books through the month of November, and as It was my birthday as well, I got a few books as birthday presents from family members.

I went to another op shop near where I love, this month and picked up 3 books that I have wanted to read for a while for a pretty good bargain. I found a bound up of the Ink Heart Trilogy by Cornelia Funke, I really enjoyed the movie, and I have heard really good things about the books, and it was only $4, so I thought, why not. I also picked up Unearthly by Cynthia Hand, again another book I have heard great things about. The last book I picked up from the op shop was Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr.

I then bought Persuasion by Jane Austen as that’s one of the books I need to read for my English literature class next year. Just a few Days ago I went to a book launch for These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman and Megan Spooner, and I got a copy of the book, not just because I was going to the book launch but I have pretty much nothing but amazing things about it and I just cannot wait to read it. I also got my copy signed, by the lovely authors whom are just really nice.

Another Author come down to Melbourne this month, The Bone Season Author Samantha Shannon, I was lucky enough to go to one of her signings, it also gave me an excuse to buy the book.

As well as buying these load of books, I bought not once but twice my probably most anticipate book of the year… The Fiery Heart by Richelle Mead. You may ask why twice, well I just could’t wait! I don’t have a book store close to me so, I buy my books from shops like Target and Big W and I had no idea if they were going to get it on the 19th or even at all. So I bought an Kindle Version so I could read it as soon as it was 19th and then I bought a paperback version from Book Depository which still hasn’t come yet (one thing I hate about living in Australia things so long to get here)

As I said before it was my birthday this month, and the 18th and my aunty got me a few books as my present, which makes made me really happy. She got me Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake which I have since read and loved to bits, my review will be soon for it. She also got me The Book Thief by Markus Zusak and Angel Fever (Angel #3) by L.A Weatherly which I have wanted for a while because I wanted to finish the trilogy.

I also, received 2 books for review from Publishers. From Harper Collins I received Tape by Steven Camden which is set to be published early February 2014. Thank you Harper Collins

From Allen and Unwin I received an ARC of Almost Dead by Kaz Delanely. Thank you Allen and Unwin.
