Hi everyone! A bit late maybe, but I’ve decided to do a book haul post this month after all. I didn’t get as many books in Feb as I did in Jan, so I wasn’t going to do one, but then I got inspired by Aoife’s lovely post about all the books she got from her friends, and decided to do a book haul post after all! Thanks, Aoife.
So, this is the moment I find out how many books I got this month! As I did my last haul in the middle of January, there will be some January books as well, so here’s to hoping it’s actually less than in the first haul.
A friendly reminder: that was 17 books in 15 days. Yes, I have a problem.
So here are the ones I bought:
Here are the ones I got for review:
Ones I got for free:
Some of you might laugh at (some of) my free book choices! But.. FREE BOOKS! Dead Man is about a guy who was brought to life as… some sort of undead, and he’s in loads of trouble. The reason I downloaded it was because it had an unbelievable blurb. (Yes, I do understand that the cake might be a lie here.) Daughter for Nothing, well.. Let’s just say I can also be a sucker for beautiful covers sometimes and call it a day. Normalized is about a super hero brought down to the level of a normal life, which seemed funny, so I grabbed it. And A Monstrous Place is part #1 of Tales From In Between, and one of those stories featured in my last book haul, so I was happy to get the first part.
So that’s my book haul! And I am glad this is so much less than last time! #goals
Some reading & challenge stats:
It doesn’t seem like I’m doing well on that Blogger Shame there. But I’ve got roughly 73 to cover, so I don’t think I’ll be able to do that this year. However, I’ve read at least several from last haul! A little bit behind on my Goodreads goal as well, but maybe I just need to stop it with those 800 page books and hit shorter ones.
So have you read any of these books? Or are you curious about them? I’d be happy to hear about it, so share in the comments! 🌞
I’m Evelina and I blog about books that made an impression on me. I love middle grade, women’s, scifi and some literary too.
That’s a lovely book haul. Hope you enjoy reading them all.
Lynn 😀
Thank you! Whenever I get to them 😀
I really like the cover for A Monstrous Place
Yeah, I like it too 🙂
LOL those 800 page books definitely take a hit to the read pile. That’s awesome you’ve made progress with all of your challenges and wooho for the blogger shame ones! Great job!
Happy reading in March!
Thanks! 😀 I must be a pessimist because it seems like SUCH a dent when I’ve read 2 out of 73 😀 and I stumbled upon NetGalley today again, which means… I’ve requested even more books! Nooooo silly me xD
What a great haul! You’ve got some CRAZY LONG books to read… Good luck with that! I tend to shy away from books over 500 pages unless it’s YA or adult fantasy. Otherwise, I find I get bored. Only rarely do I venture into that territory. Again, I LOVE your charts! I totally should steal that for my future goals posts! They are adorable and a better way to show how much progress you are making. Sadly, when I installed the Plugin (after seeing your post last month) the app crashed my blog! 🙁 So, I might not be as… Read more »
I do actually like *some* long books 🙂 cause I get really attached to the characters a lot of the times and it’s hard to say goodbye. With a long book, I don’t have to for a while 😀
Actually, the charts are really easy! No plugin required whatsoever. I make them through infogr.am and just copy paste the html code they give at their site when you publish the chart 🙂 worst case you can printscreen it and put up an image 😀
!!! COPY AND PASTE THE HTML CODE!!! YOU ARE GENIUS!!! Oh, man. I love that. And I will immediately steal it. You are brilliant. I’m so glad we are working together to improve our respective blogs. What would I do without you?
:DDD glad to help out 😀 I just have a background in marketing and a little programming xD that’s all. Got lucky there xD
I’m curious about Redshirts and maybe A Monstrous Place? That looks interesting. A pretty good haul this week. 🙂 Nice work on the graphs, those look great.
I didn’t get as many in Feb either, although I did make up for it a bit at the end of the month as I splurged on 3 books. Oops lol. Good luck on your challenges going forward.
Thanks Greg! Redshirts should definitely be checked out, I mostly liked it 🙂 so funny as well. Will be posting a review when I’m done being lazy 😀
I have A Monstrous Place and Dead Man too. Daughter Of Nothing was a good one. I’ve enjoyed other books by the author. Happy reading!
Thank you! I hope it will be fun. Daughter of Nothing just had suuuuch a beautiful cover :0 I couldn’t resist 😀
Well not surprisingly I don’t recognise any of your books. We read such different stuff, haha! Although I DO love the covers for a lot of these, particularly A Monstrous Place. LOVELY. I hope they’re all really good reads! And omg I generally read shorter books so I keep up-to-date with my goals. Although I have tackled two 600 page beasts lately and I was quite proud of myself. bahahah. Happy reading for March!
Thanks, Cait 🙂 yeah, we do read different ones! Although this haul has some books you could like (some are YA, some are just fantasy). Look at the cover of Daughter of Nothing :0
But, I guess I like being different 😀 I do know most of the books you read though! Because a lot of bloggers talk about them as well, so I just find out through one or another 😀
I do review a lot of obscure NetGalley finds though, so there’s that too 🙂
I’ve seen Miranda and Caliban around, I think I’m going to have to look into it. Especially if it’s a retellling.
Great haul!
Yeah, I only grabbed it because I’d seen it around. Hoping to see your review then 🙂
Oh man 800 page books!! They scare me lol. Lovely haul! The Nix is one I want to get to. Happy reading 🙂
Thanks 🙂 I actually want to get to that one as well, but I think I will stay away for the mentioned reason 😀
