December Book Haul





First of all, hello to everyone reading this and welcome to Beloved Pages. My name is Tabea, I am 19 years old and on here I will blog about one of the things I am most passionate about; you might have guessed it: books! I've been watching booktube and reading bookblogs for a while now and I thought it was about time that I join that world with my own book blog. 

That's why today, I am going to talk about the books I bought in December (so far). I bought 7 books this month and you can see them above in all their glory, I am a sucker for pretty covers and some of those books are just drop dead gorgeous!

The first book I bought is a classic that I've been wanting to read for a long time. To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee. I am planning on reading more classics and I thought this book would be a good place to start. I am really excited to start reading this.

I also picked up another classic: Lord Of The Flies by William Golding. I put together a list of classics I'd like to read and am currently hunting for them in charity and second-hand shops. This was one of the first books on my list that I could manage to find and for one pound, I couldn't leave it behind.

Next up is Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets by, who would have guessed it, J.K Rowling. I do own all the Harry Potter books and have read them multiple times, but since my mother tongue is German I only own the German copies. Ever since my English has been good enough, I've been wanting to re-read the whole series in English and now I am finally getting to do it. I managed to get my hands on the first, second and third book for the grand total of 2,50 and I couldn't be happier.

I finally got my hands on more Rainbow Rowell books, after reading Eleanor&Park a couple of months ago and loving it. The books I picked up are Carry On and Fangirl. I wasn't planning on buying Fangirl, but since Carry On is basically the fanfiction the main character in Fangirl writes in book form and they were on a "Buy One, Get One Half Price" Shelf together, I decided I might as well buy both.

The sixth book I bought this month is Six Of Crows by Leigh Bardugo. The book is about a group of outcast who go on a mission together to break into a military stronghold and retrieve a hostage there. That is pretty much all I know about this story so far. I have heard amazing things about Six Of Crows and Leigh Bardugo's books in general, so I am really excited to start reading this. I hope it's going to get me back into reading fantasy, a genre I used to love but have neglected for a while.

Last but not least, is A Thousand Nights by E.K. Johnston. I saw Sasha from abookutopia talk about this in one of her videos and it sounded interesting so I decided to give it a go. The story is a retelling of A Thousand And One Arabian Nights, but with a twist. I have already read this book and I will post a full review on it very soon.

What books have you bought this month? Let me know in the comments and stay tuned for the next post :)

  1. Hi Tabea! I'm super excited to keep up with your readings and adventures with books. I love this list! I am a huge fan of the classics and I'm so excited that one of your goals is to read more of them. I finally read Lord of the Flies this year and thought it was definitely interesting. Fangirl is on my to-be-read pile and I can't wait to read it. Hope everything is going well for you. Looking forward to more posts!

    1. Hey Jaymie :) Thank you so much for your comment, it means a lot to me. I am really excited to get into the classics as well, I feel like there are books everyone just has to have read. I don't know when I'll find the time to get to Fangirl, but hopefully soon. I loved Eleanor&Park :)
