My niece, Keely pointed out to me the other day, that at the beginning of every year is when I apparently go mad for book buying. Looking back to the day after Christmas until now, this seems to be very true. I have made two trips to Barnes and Noble, two trips to Half Price Books and placed four online orders with Bookoutlet.com. There was also a random buy of The Chemist by Stephenie Meyer at Walmart of all places. I was listening to it on audio and I just had to get a physical copy. Oops!
I have added 30+ books to my collection in just the past few weeks. Some of these I have already read. I have a bad habit of taking books I think I don't want any more to Half Price Books and then immediately regretting it. So, since I found some of these books on Bookoutlet.com cheap during their Boxing day sales I maybe re-bought them. *shrug* The number of books I have added does not include any of the ebooks I purchased recently either. We are not even gonna add those to the list.
There are so many books, I am not going to bother with doing any kind of a haul or anything for them. That is just way too much. I will share with you that six of these books are a beautiful British version of the Harry Potter books. I already own the wonderful ones that the spines that make Hogwarts. But I just had to have these others after viewing them on one of @PeruseProject's videos. I have linked that video here, if you would like to view it yourself. I just need to get my hands on Order of the Phoenix to complete my set. Well, I also need to receive my last two orders from Bookoutlet.com. I current only have Deathly Hallows in this set on my shelves. But they are coming!
Hopefully I will manage to actually read all of the new books I have added. Hopefully I will actually keep the books I have chosen to re-purchase. I never should have gotten rid of them in the first place. What was I thinking?! Hopefully this year I can manage to be a better blogger. I am trying to start strong and keep it going.
Please tell me some of you have a habit of going crazy buying books around Christmas or the beginning of the year. It can't just be me right??
Thanks for reading!
