Hello dear fellow book readers and welcome to another episode of "The Secret Life Of A Book Hoarder", for real though, this is my April book haul and I have a problem.
So far this month I have bought 11 books. In words, eleven, in numbers 11. Adding to a pile that I could easily stack to the ceiling if I wanted to. Gosh, don't you love impulse control?
Anyway, the heart wants what it wants, right? But, I have acquired some real gems this month that I'd like to share with you.
If you have read my "25 Bookish Facts About Me" post you might know that I generally don't believe in having more than one copy of a book. I should probably take that back and rephrase it. "I don't believe in having more than one copy of a book UNLESS it's Harry Potter." I saw these while casually browsing through ASDA's book aisle and oh my days, how amazingly gorgeous is this cover art? My little heart just had to have it and justify the fact that I now own three copies of Harry Potter And The Deadly Hallows.
My next gem is a charity shop find. I have heard amazing things about Wonder by R.J. Palacio and have been contemplating to get it for a while, so when I saw it for very cheap I simply could not resist. Really excited to read this.
This gorgeous copy of The Perks Of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky came in a box-set with The Year Of The Rat by Clare Furniss, The Age Of Miracles by Karen Thompson Walker and Infinte Sky by C.J. Flood. I do own and have read The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, but it's only the movie edition and lets be honest, this one is infinitely more beautiful so I will give my other copy away. I haven't really heard anything about the other three books, but I think they will be nice when I get into a contemporary mood this summer. Have you read any of these books? What did you think?
I also went out and got another box-set, this time a series. I have heard mixed things about the Legend series by Marie Lu, but I was quite intrigued by the premise and the set came quite cheap, so I decided to give it a go. The series includes Legend, Prodigy and Champion. I just hope I haven't yet tired out my interest in dystopian novels.
The last book I bought was another second-hand find: The Knife Of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness, the first book in the Chaos Walking Trilogy. I have heard amazing things about this series and I can't wait to start it.
If you want reviews for any of these books once I've read them, do let me know and I will try to make that possible.
Have a wonderful day <3
