Book Haul: October 2024

Hello and happy Saturday! I hope you had a good week. I had an eventful one with Halloween and a major find in my basement. I was going through an old box of books that I got years ago when the school I taught at closed. The library was giving away books, so I took a bunch and forgot about them. Well, I was looking through them to see if there was anything good for my Little Free Library, and I came across a copy of Throne of Glass. I took the library plastic covering off and realized that it was a first edition book with the Barbie cover!!! What a find! And it was sitting in my basement for years! lol

Anyway, today, I have my October book haul for you, and I’m super excited to share it. It received some fantastic reads from friends, publishers, authors, and a few birthday purchases. And if you want to learn more about any of the books, click on them, and it’ll take you to Goodreads.


Book Mail:

My birthday was in October, and my wonderful friend Leslie @ Books Are the New Black sent me 3 books on my wish list – Butcher & Blackbird, Leather & Lark, and Poison in Their Hearts. She’s the best, and she knows my reading taste so well. Then, I got Prince of Fortune from Simon Kids, and all of the other books from Wattpad Webtoon Books.


eBooks:

I got 11 books from either NetGalley, publishers, and authors Emily Windsor & Sarah M. Cradit. Thanks to all!! Of the 11 I received, I’ve already read 6! My favorite was A Governess Should Never… Wager a Duke. And I still have to read The Bones Beneath My Skin, Den of Liars, Carving Shadows into Gold, Servant of Earth, and With This Ring.

Purchases:

So, my birthday was in the middle of the month, and I splurged on books. lol Most of these, I got on Book Outlet, but I was at my library, and they were selling books for a dollar, and I got Curious Tides, and Spectacular was a preorder!


How was your October? Did you haul any good books? Comment below!
