Book Haul – February 2023

biblionerdreflections13 Comments

For such a short month, I sure did haul a lot of great books. I was hoping I’d spend less in February, but I actually ended up spending even more than in January, $176.91 not including book boxes. I got tons of great stuff, though. I think at least part of my increased shopping this month was due to feeling like crap for half of the month thanks to COVID. Once I was better, I wanted to celebrate and couldn’t think of a better way than new books. lol. I didn’t use the library quite as much in February, but I’m more than making up for it in March already. I’ve had what seems like a billion holds come in all at once, which is both stressful and exciting. It is also important to note that I unhauled 20 books in February, as well. So, I made a little space on my shelves for all the newbies. 🙂

Hello everyone! Today’s prompt is top 5 thicc books. I typically read books that are less than 600 pages because I get too anxious or bored to sit with one story for too long. However, I was able to find quite a few chonky monsters I’ve actually read (or am reading now) to include in this list. Here are some of my favorite thicc boys. lol. The covers all link to the book’s Goodreads page, and I’ve included the official covers and synopsis when available.

Top 5 Tuesday – Top 5 first kisses

biblionerdreflections14 Comments

Hello everyone! Happy Valentine’s Day!!! 💖💖💖💖 Today’s prompt is top 5 first kisses. It is really strange, but I had a lot of trouble with this one. I read a lot of romance and books that have romance, but for some reason first kisses aren’t something I remember very well. So, I had to go digging, which was fun because I got to re-visit some of my favorite pairings to see if their first kiss stacked up to the rest of the story. The covers all link to the book’s Goodreads page, and I’ve included the official covers and synopsis when available.

Book Haul – January 2023

January was a really great start to the year in regards to book acquisitions. I relied on the library a surprising amount, but I also purchased quite a bit because so many books were still 50% off a B&N. In total, I spent $143 on books in January, not counting book boxes. Luckily, I was lighter than usual on the ARCs. Maybe I’m beginning to learn a little self control? Probably not. lol. Although, now that I’ve been auto-approved by Orbit on NetGalley, the real test begins. Without further ado, here is everything I got my hands on last month:
