December Book Haul: “All I Want for Christmas Is Books” Edition
“Make my wish come true….All I Want for Christmas is books!” 2016 has come to an end and though I’m “supposed” to be on a book buying ban, I just couldn’t resist all of the fantastic holidays sales on books. Though I bought quite a lot (with the inclusion of my Book Outlet Black Friday buys in Novemeber) I also received a lot as well. I feel so incredibly blessed and thankful for all of the gifts I received.
I also participated in The Broke and Bookish’s Secret Santa event where I was paired up with an awesome “Santa” (see the full reveal post here) and got to shop for another bookish blogger as well. I also hosted another successful giveaway, and I thank all who participated in the giveaway. If you didn’t wind keep an eye out for future giveaways this year!
As I’ve stated throughout the year and most recently, I’m going to continue to stop buying (a lot of) books and work on clearing up my own bookshelves. I won’t be doing any reading challenges (besides Goodreads) and will focus solely on reading the books I buy while maybe picking up some ARCs (and catching up on last year’s ARCs) along the way.
Enough of my ramblings, let’s get on to this bonanza of a book haul!
