March Book Haul

As much as I love reading, and as much as I read in one month, it’s rare that I by so many books at any one time. So I thought I’d do a book haul for once.

I went way over my budget for March, and I certainly brought a lot more than I thought I would because I went into Waterstones and just couldn’t resist some of the book sitting there on the shelves. I ended up with so many amazing books, some I already own on Kindle and couldn’t resist buying in paperback because they are so amazing, and some I haven’t yet read but have heard amazing things about.

Most of these books, with the only exception being the Firebird series by Claudia Gray, I have already read and loved. Passenger is in the running for my favourite read of 2016, and alongside The Girl From Everywhere it is one of my favourite time travel books. The first two books of The Winner’s Trilogy I got for my Kindle after receiving an ARC of The Winner’s Kiss, but I ended up loving this series so much I had to get the whole trilogy in paperback form as well. I just couldn’t resist.

• Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas

• A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

Sarah J. Maas is such an amazing author; I only wish I’d discovered her books earlier than I did. I’ve already pre-ordered Empire of Storms and A Court of Mist and Fury and I am so excited to get my hands on those books when they’re finally released. I am also planning on buying The Assassin’s Blade, the collection of Throne of Glass novellas, next month when I have money in my budget once again.

Waterstones

• Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare
• An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir
• I’ll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson
• The Winner’s Kiss by Marie Rutkoski
  Check out my review here.

I hadn’t actually planned to buy any of these books but I was in Waterstones, just browsing, and honestly I couldn’t resist. There were so many copies of Lady Midnight on display and there was so much hype for it on WordPress that I honestly had to buy a copy, and after seeing The Winner’s Kiss for sale, a week before it was due to actually be released, I didn’t think twice before grabbing it. I’ve heard such great things about both An Ember in the Ashes and I’ll Give You the Sun that it was really just any excuse to buy them both.

NetGalley eARCs

• A Fierce and Subtle Poison by Samantha Mabry
• The Star-Touched Queen by Roshani Chokshi

I don’t tend to have many ARCs on my to-read list at any one time but these two I am really excited about. I have heard great things about A Fierce and Subtle Poison, and The Star-Touched Queen is one of my most-anticipated releases for May. I can’t wait to start both of them.

So there you have it, my insane book haul for this month. Yes, for me this is insane, I normally only buy four or five books a month to try and stick to a budget. Obviously during March I did not succeed but I can’t regret it, I have so many amazing books on my shelves now.
