So as 2017 is coming to a close, and Christmas is soon on its way, I wanted to do a little pre-Christmas book haul. There are only 9 books here that I’ve accumulated over the last few months (I am trying to not buy any believe it or not!) but I wanted to share them. I’ve only read 3/9 of these new books and I have done reviews of them which I will link to. I will also note now I did not pay more than £5 for any of these books, I tend to search around on the internet and in Charity shops for good deals and I hope this doesn’t come across as bragging!
Out of the 3 I have read, 2 were eBooks from Netgalley so I’ll begin with those. From Netgalley I received ‘The Tattooist of Auschwitz’ by Heather Morris and ‘A Taxonomy of Love’ by Rachael Allen. I thought both of these books were really good and interesting and they both get released in January 2018, so actually quite soon!
The other book I bought and have read is ‘Wonder Woman: Warbringer’ by Leigh Bardugo. I absolutely love Wonder Woman, so when I discovered this book I did not hesitate to purchase it and read it as soon as possible. I thought it was great and can’t wait to experience more of these DC superhero books. But, before I got my Wonder Woman book, I actually bought a comic/graphic novel too! I bought ‘DC Bombshells Volume 1: Enlisted’ by Bennett Sauvage and although I haven’t read it yet, I am excited about it! And a random book I bought to help finish buying the series before I read them all is ‘Assassin’s Creed: Revelations’ by Oliver Bowden. I keep picking the books in this series up for cheap prices in charity shops and on eBay, and I’m only missing a few of them now, so hopefully, in 2018 I will finish buying them and will read them all!
I’m also a fan of Beauty & The Beast, so I did purchase ‘The Beast Within: A Tale of Beauty’s Prince’ by Serena Valentino and ‘Beauty and the Beast: Lost in a Book’ by Jennifer Donnelly. Again, these are books I haven’t read yet but am looking forward to reading next year.
The last 2 books I actually got from my dad. I love reading about history and for a very long time I’ve found the Tudor era very interesting and dad had these two books he hadn’t read so I was allowed them. Those books are ‘The Tudors’ by G.J Meyer and ‘Six Wives: The Queens of Henry VIII’ by David Starkey. They both have tiny text and book by David Starkey is quite big, so I think those books will take a while to go through but I look forward to it. Hopefully they’ll be able to educate me more on the Tudor era.
So there is my pre-Christmas book haul. I am so excited for Christmas right now and although I may want to do a Christmas haul I probably won’t, as sometimes they can come off quite badly as ‘bragging’ and I don’t wanna seem like that! I only shared this because I find these sorts of posts and YouTube videos very interesting.
