As our introductory post touched upon, we kinda like buying and collecting books... But seeing as we're not exactly rolling in it, our shopping venues mostly consist of charity shops and the odd independent second hand book store.
This post was planned to have gone up sooner, however technical difficulties (really - the laptop gave up and we had to get a replacement) it's just being published now. Anyway, these are the few books we added to our shelves in September!

Out of the above, 3 are repeats in our collection. Mr H collects different editions and things relating to Lord of the Rings so get used to seeing similar things in other haul posts!
A couple are older, hardback 'pretty spine' books that we prefer the look of to modern binds...another probable running theme. Other than that's it's a bit of a mix which, over time, might give a better idea of our tastes and the multiple different types of things we collect just because of the 'series' or edition they are. Hopefully there'll be a little haul for October too, there'll be a compilation one in November if not because if we hadn't mentioned we get officially married this month!
