RARE Melbourne 2023 | Wrap Up and Haul

Posted by angelreads Book Hauls No Comments

Not going to lie. I’ve been putting off getting this post together. Because I knew that it was going to make me some time. But here it finally is.

In April I went to the first-ever RARE Melbourne event, and I had such a blast. It’s not my first romance signing event, but it was my first of this size. Ely and I bought our tickets all the way in 2022 and planned our way throughout the year. There were quite a few preorders, and then I did end up buying even more books throughout the weekend.

I meet so many amazing authors, some that I have loved for a long time and some that I had only discovered. And I always love going to events like this and getting to meet authors that I love is always a bonus. I will be posting some photos up on Instagram soon, so you can check them out!

But let’s get into it as this is going to be a big post. Here are all the books that I bought at RARE Melbourne 2023. Here are go, I tried to group all the books from the same author as possible, but otherwise, these are in no order.
