Collective Book Haul // June - August


A haul!!! Woohoo!! Finally, a book haul. It has been since the 19th of May when we posted our April book haul and it definitely feels it. We aren't big shoppers nor do we spend much money on things other than the basics/essentials, so our little trips to the charity shop picking out books has been a big miss. 
In March and April, we bought 9 and 13 books respectively all online and although the majority of this collective haul was also purchased online, we did actually get to go back to a book store at the end of July...more on that after the haul.

24 books! (Technically 46 if we count the WWoK series separately). That seems like a lot and is way more than we have gotten in a long time, but being over a three month period it's not that bad really haha. Two-thirds of what we bought were still shopped for online, and only one third we're brand new. The following third bought during our one and only venture to an actual in-person shop, which will not be repeated for a long time because it was the most hellish experience. We popped out one day with our masks on to check out a new book store that an animal charity we support had opened, but the general public are the most disrespectful, ignorant, non-rule-abiding idiots that it gave me panic attacks and I haven't been/won't be going anywhere again for the foreseeable future!
That hopefully won't stop us buying the odd book online of course, but that does mean monthly hauls won't be back for quite some time.
