Book Haul!

I love reading books, and I've been collecting since I was in grade school. (Yeah, Sweet Valley, Nancy Drew and Full House Michelle books count!) It wasn't until high school though, that I started to expand the range of the books I read. The school library became my happy place, mostly because I couldn't afford to spend my allowance on books instead of food and other necessities (I stayed in a dorm).

I guess those library books grew on me and until now, I prefer older copies of books than the brand new ones. Whenever I encounter a book that used to be from a library, complete with the stamp and the borrowers form/list, I can't resist not buying it.

So to my book purchases from the past month!


Some new copies, but most are secondhand. I'll share some of my favorite books from that pile, and some of my past hauls as well some other time.

I don't go to book sales knowing what I want to have because I don't really know that much authors. I don't care much about that actually. A good book is a good book, so don't be afraid to try reading books you've never heard of. Also, I know this shouldn't be the way it is, but most times I really judge a book by it's cover! ;)
