BOOK SHOPPING + HAUL 📚💳 (indie bookstores, library sale & barnes)

I haven’t bought a book in 3 months! So to reward myself.. I went book shopping 😅 I started by celebrating indie bookstore day both on vacation and with a few of my local bookshops. Then I bought what I couldn’t find independently, at Barnes & Noble. The finale of book buying concludes at my local library used book & bake sale where I bought some books for myself and a friend for her birthday :) I ended up buying 7 total books of all different genres (fantasy, horror, fiction, nonfiction, etc).
Have you bought any good books lately? I’d love to know 😌

My most recent bookish purchase is the Lego Disney villains book set!!

[@hobbyjournals]

sounds like a perfect set for a bookshelf 🤔💭

[@marginsofmarisa]

Such a good haul!! You’re going to love Six of Crows and The Lovely Bones (especially Six of Crows). Bunny has been on my tbr FOREVERRRRR!! Maybe a buddy read is what I need to finally read it… 👀
I’ve never heard The Wishing Game described like Charlie and the Chocolarw factory but that makes so much sense (and makes me want to read it even more)!

[@hobbyjournals]

Yessss to a Bunny buddy read!! (say that 10 times fast lol)
But SO excited for Six of Crows, definitely getting to that soon 👀

[@normalreader]

I would love to hear your thoughts on bunny and the starless sea. Hope you like it 🥺🥺
Also, wow!! You went 3 months without buying a book! No matter how hard i try, i just can't control myself from buying books.😁🤣🤣

[@hobbyjournals]

It definitely takes A LOT of self control 😅 but sometimes my physical tbr becomes overwhelming and I just have to cut myself off for a bit 😂
& I’ll let you know my thoughts once I read Bunny or The Starless Sea!! You were definitely an influence in those purchases 🥰
