December Book Haul!
Hello all! I can’t believe it’s the end of the year already! In just a few days we’ll be heading into 2016 and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for next year for books.
This past month has been a whirlwind with the Christmas and such and I hope you enjoyed your holiday. This month’s haul includes book’s from late November. You know how I said I wouldn’t buy any more books from Book Outlet after my last haul?
Well, there was a little event called Black Friday, and I ended up getting about 8 books for the price of $15 (trying to justify my purchase here). So I’m sworn off that website for a while until I get through some of the books on my bookshelves. Hopefully me doing the reading challenge, Read the Books You Buy for 2016, will help me with this issue.
Anyways, let’s get on with Christmas edition book haul!

I love Jeanine Frost. I went through a Cat and Bones stage and read everything by her. She is one of those authors that I pick up if I want a quick steamy read plus some vampires. Hope you enjoy all your December goodies! 🙂
Me too! She’s one of my favorites! I love Cat and Bones. They’re one if my favorite duos. I have the Night Prince books too, but I still haven’t read them yet. Happy Holidays! 🙂
Enjoy your books; they look amazing! I got Illuminae, the Ivy duology, and Saint Anything!
Ooh all good book! I got Saint Anything earlier this year, but I still haven’t gotten a chance to read it yet. Happy Holidays!
