Collective Book Haul

I may be stating obvious here, but I love books. I buy one or two every time I get paid, which is a blessing and a curse: I get to experience so many great books but, I have an overflowing bookcase and a TBR pile that is getting harder to wrangle every couple of weeks. But, since I have bought so many books recently, I wanted to share those here. Maybe you will even find one or two that interest you.

1. The Unexpected Everything - Morgan Matson


 

2. & 3. The Last Little Blue Envelope - Maureen Johnson and Love, In English - Karina Halle


4. Carry On - Rainbow Rowell


5. November 9 - Colleen Hoover


6. Lust & Wonder - Augusten Burroughs
