Book Haul #39: Hyped Up New Releases

I had this impression that I didn’t buy very many books over the past month, but um. Well new releases. What can I say? September & October are both the best and the worst. I received 3 books in the mail just this morning. Soooo yeah, this is not the smallest haul of all time, but they’re all books that I’m crazy excited about.

Purchased

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Illustrated Edition by J.K. Rowling: Obvious buy is obvious. But having this means I’m ready to start my Harry Potter reread.

Empire of Storms by Sarah J. Maas: It took forever to get (because Amazon and Bloomsbury aren’t friends when it comes to pre-orders…) but then it was here and I read it and, okay, it’s not perfect, but I still love it.

The Hating Game by Sally Thorne: Okay, so this book exploded in the book blogosphere, and even though it’s an adult romance, I can never resist a good hate-to-love trope. I will be reading it this weekend, so we’ll see!

This Adventure Ends by Emma Mills: I pre-ordered this the second I finished reading my e-galley. This story is so beautiful, adorable, and insightful. It will be reread. (ALSO: the naked hardcover is amazingly beautiful.)

Poison by Bridget Zinn: I read this ages ago on my e-reader, and I adored it. Ever since I’ve been meaning to get my hands on a finished copy, and I finally went for it. Then I saw the pig on the cover again and was like, “ROSIEEEEEEEE!!!” so yeah, I will probably reread this sometime.

The Hammer of Thor by Rick Riordan: Riordan is still an auto-buy, though I’m growing less confident about his books. But this one I had to. Because, well I really enjoyed The Sword of Summer but also, Amazon Germany had signed copies. So. I regret nothing.

Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo: TELL ME NOTHING. Soon, my precious.
