Book Haul




Ahh the shame of another book haul, another display of books that I really shouldn't have bought as my TBR pile is already endless. BUT, as of a week and a half ago I have been free from exams and as such I couldn't help but have a little celebration in my local Waterstones. It's safe to say that my bank card took a bit of a battering. In one last hurrah to student finance I treated myself to some books that I have been eyeing up for a while. 


The Girls from Corona del Mar: Rufi Thorpe


The Guest Cat: Takashi Hiraide


The Salmon Who Dared to Leap Higher: Ahn Do-hyun


The Establishment: Owen Jones


The Opposite of Loneliness: Marina Keegan

These may be popping up in book reviews soon so keep an eye out for them!

Book Haul



January is over and I thought I would do a quick round up of the books I bought in the last month. I don't know when I will get round to reading them but they are piled high on my bedside table ready for any spare moment I have. 


The Miniaturist 
Jessie Burton

This has a beautiful cover and I managed to pick up the hardcover copy which had been rereleased when it was named Waterstones book of the year.

Do No Harm
Henry Marsh

From what I have heard, this is a book about what it is like to be a brain surgeon, it sounds really interesting and was a Sunday Times Bestseller so I can't wait to pick it up!

Attachments 
Rainbow Rowell

A couple of weeks ago I read Eleanor & Park which led me to ordering a couple of other Rainbow Rowell books. I loved Eleanor & Park so I have high expectations. 

Fangirl 
Rainbow Rowell

This was another book I picked up in my post Eleanor & Park binge.


H is for Hawk
Helen Macdonald

This is not at all the sort of book I would usually pick up but I had seen a lot of people talking about it so I thought I would give it a go. 

A Meal in Winter
Hubert Mingarelli

This book is only 138 pages long, I tend to avoid short books because I hate it when a good book ends too soon, but upon reading the blurb, I couldn't stop myself from buying it.
